🔮 Soul Contracts — Near Death Experience (Post #6)

 

Choosing the path before birth

In metaphysical teachings, a soul contract is an agreement we make before birth.

It is not a rigid script but a living blueprint, including our choices, that shapes the lessons, challenges, and relationships we encounter in this lifetime.

Some people who have had near-death experiences describe a moment of recognition — a sudden understanding that what seemed random or cruel in their life was actually chosen by themselves before they came to the physical plane of Earth. In that expanded state of awareness, they glimpse the blueprint, and the pieces begin to make sense.

Lessons Hidden in Challenges

Handshake of destiny: the soul’s blueprint.

Before entering the body, souls often choose the lessons they wish to learn in the harsh environments of the physical realm. 

Patience, courage, forgiveness — these qualities do not arrive as gifts but through problems transformed into challenges, and by overcoming them. What looks like misfortune is often the classroom we voluntarily signed up for.

Stronger, older souls select more difficult tests, while younger souls begin with simpler ones — often limited to the home or a very narrow environment, living all their life in one place and doing a simple job.

Karma as the School of Life

Learning through challenges, guided by karma

Karma also weaves into the contract.
Physical existence — what we call life — is a school, and karma is its curriculum. When we engage, diligently learn, and grow, we move forward to the next level. If we resist or neglect the study, doing our work poorly, we face the same lesson again until it finally takes root.

Karma is not punishment — it is education. Even when we deny it, the universe arranges the encounters and events that press us to expand our understanding.

Relationships as Mirrors

Deep thoughts on love, struggle, and destiny

The families we are born into, the lovers we cannot let go of, even the adversaries who frustrate us — all may be chosen in advance.

Sometimes there is no escape from the programmed path, for example in childhood or in cultures where dependency is absolute. Love itself can become a chain, a hidden addiction that forces us to find inner strength. These ties are not accidents; they are challenges for the soul.

Missions of Service

Healers and teachers, chosen before birth

Some contracts are broader, reaching into service for humanity. Healers, teachers, activists, and light-bearers often arrive with missions to uplift others.

They remind us that invisible forces — prana, spirit, divine light — are as real as medicine or politics. Their path is rarely easy, often undervalued, sometimes dangerous. Yet at the soul level, these roles are chosen freely.

Once born, the memory of that choice is hidden so the experience remains raw and authentic. After all, one of the goals of our higher brothers and sisters is to create for us an authentic reality that feels fully genuine.

The Diversity of Souls on Earth

Earth: a physical realm for every soul’s journey

On Earth today, there are over eight billion souls. Some are very young, taking their first steps into human form, living simple existences programmed by higher beings.

Others are seasoned travelers of many incarnations, or volunteers from distant galaxies, bringing wisdom and strength to help humanity rise.

The variety is immense, but the truth remains the same: life is not random.

The Deeper Purpose

Every journey inscribed in the soul’s contract

The struggles we face, the people we meet, the love we gain and lose — all may be part of a greater plan we agreed to before birth.

Near-death experiencers often return with this insight: that every pain holds purpose, and every soul is exactly where it needs to be.

Behind the veil of forgetting, we may not recall why we chose this road. But at its heart, every soul contract serves the same purpose: to move us closer to love, wisdom, and unity with the divine.

🌑 Horrifying Fall in Hell — Near Death Experiences (Post #5)

Soul enters dark realm

Last week, I shared the story of Bryan, who after his death found himself in a “fake heaven”—a place that looked bright at first but soon revealed cruelty, mockery, and hostile creatures. 

His experience was already terrifying, but today I want to explore an even more powerful and authentic near-death experience: the journey of Dominic Morrow, an ex-alcoholic and former violent man.

(Watch Dominic’s full testimony here: YouTube link)

Descent into Darkness

Lone soul faces a demon

Dominic describes how his journey began in absolute darkness—a void of isolation and fear. 

Gradually, a strange light revealed an underground world unlike anything he had known. Unlike Bryan’s deceptive “heaven,” this place did not pretend to be good. It was openly and unmistakably hellish.

He saw demons of every size and strength, swarms of insects and writhing worms, waves of unbearable heat, and souls under constant, unimaginable torture.

Perception of the Realm

Demon of Darkness and followers

What made Dominic’s experience even more horrifying was the way he perceived that realm. 

There was no time there—only an endless, suffocating presence of suffering that pressed on him from every direction. His senses seemed heightened beyond earthly limits: he could feel the agony of every soul around him as though it were his own. 

His vision could sharpen and zoom in like a pair of supernatural binoculars, revealing every grotesque detail with startling clarity. And with a single, intuitive glance, he understood the reason each soul had been placed there. 

Around him, men and women from countless eras of human history writhed in torment, all trapped together in the same nightmarish dimension, their cries merging into a haunting, endless chorus.

Most chilling of all was his vision of a fortress on a cliff, with huge gates and a long line of souls waiting to enter. Dominic realized he was still only in a corridor leading to the “real hell” beyond. His description recalls Dante’s Inferno, yet carries the raw authenticity of lived experience.

Why His Story Rings True

Choice leads to the Light

I believe Dominic’s testimony. 

It is deeply logical: in the spiritual realm, we receive not more, not less, than we truly deserve. Our spiritual Father surrounds us in life with enormous support:

We are given carefully chosen environments, family, and opportunities for growth. A permanent spiritual guide accompanies us, nudging and protecting us while giving us free will—the freedom to choose light or darkness.

Yet many of us ignore these signs. We deny spiritual truths or take the easier path, indulging in selfishness, cruelty, or low-consciousness behavior. Some spiritual teachers also warn of a coming “cleansing” process, where rejecting light can lead not just to suffering but to a kind of spiritual death. Dominic’s vision of the fortress may hint at such a reality.

A Warning—and a Gift

A lonely man walks toward light

Why share such a terrifying experience? 

Because stories like Dominic’s are not for entertainment—they are meant to wake us up. Even what we consider “small sins”—lies, gossip, or harmless indulgences—can keep us tethered to lower vibrations. To ascend, we must recognize these patterns and leave them behind.

Our heavenly guides are constantly sending hints, reminders, and opportunities to choose light. The question is: are we listening?

Transformation and Hope

Facing storm, reaching for light

Dominic took his experience as a turning point for his soul—a chance to make a U-turn from the path of darkness he had been walking before his NDE, and step steadily toward the light. He began working on himself in small, consistent steps every day. 

Today, he is a completely different person, dedicating his life to helping others through psychological support. He has written several books about his experiences and is open to answering questions via email or phone (see details under his YouTube video).

His story is a powerful reminder: no matter how deep the darkness, the light is always within reach. Even the most harrowing experiences can become a gift for transformation, guiding us toward spiritual growth, compassion, and purpose.

🔥🕊️ Bryan Melvin’s Hellish Near Death Experience — Post #4

 

A glimpse into hell.

Today I want to share something rare and powerful: the story of Bryan Melvin from Colorado, who honestly described his Near-Death Experience (NDE) journey to hell.

👉 Watch his testimony here.

Why do I want to talk about this case? 

Because to speak openly about invisible, spiritual things already requires courage—but to speak about hellish experiences, demonic bullying, fear, and panic requires triple courage. That’s why we hear so little about dark NDEs. And yet, these stories are extremely important, because they warn us and remind us that our destiny is shaped by our choices.

---

1. The Experience Itself

Caught between Light and Darkness

Most NDEs (90% or more) describe a paradise-like environment—friendly faces, food, family reunions, joy, and the sense that no one is judging you. People often report simply watching their “life movie” while others treat them as heroes.

But Bryan’s experience is a sharp contrast. His testimony shows that not everything is paradise, and that we shouldn’t fall into the naïve belief that whatever we do on Earth will simply be “written down” and then gently faced later.

The stakes are high:

• Either we work hard to rise higher and break free from the spiral of reincarnation,

• Or we sink deeper into spiritual darkness by keeping our boundaries too low.

Bryan’s story is living proof that bad deeds do carry consequences. And yet, even in the darkest places, higher powers still offer us a chance—a choice to turn towards the Light. Bryan did exactly that.

---

2. His Conscious Turn to the Light

Understanding beyond the words

What’s remarkable is not only what he endured, but what happened after. Returning from hell, Bryan made a conscious 180-degree turn away from darkness towards Light.

This choice raised his consciousness to a new level. Suddenly, he could not only read the Bible, but truly understand it—deeply and instantly—just by glancing at the words.

Many say the Bible is too difficult because it was written long ago, rewritten, and translated. But Bryan’s experience shows that the true barrier isn’t the text itself—it’s our level of consciousness.

• Young souls, focused mainly on tangible things, may not yet see its treasures.

• Darker forces may deliberately spread the idea that the Bible is useless, keeping people empty-handed or lost in false mystical labyrinths.

But when the inner shift happens, the words of holy scripture reveal their meaning.

---

3. A Parallel with My Novel Melissa

Face the darkness, discover the Light

Bryan’s experience also reminded me of my horror novel Melissa.

The protagonist, Nathan Melton, shares striking similarities with Bryan:

• Both were arrogant and resistant to God.

• Both encountered terrifying supernatural experiences.

• Both made a dramatic spiritual turn towards the Light.

I was particularly struck by Bryan’s description of creatures that first appeared harmless, only to reveal their terrifying nature later. This mirrors Nathan’s encounter with Melissa’s seemingly normal return—until she transforms into something horrific.

While Melissa is fiction, I wrote Nathan’s experience with as much authenticity as possible. Bryan’s testimony strengthens my belief that such a journey could be real.

---

A Personal Note to Bryan

From darkness to awakening

Bryan, both Nathan and you walked extraordinary paths—from resistance to awakening. Your transformation from darkness to profound enlightenment is a living testimony to human resilience and the divine.

If you ever consider reading Melissa, I would be deeply grateful—not for a review, but simply to hear whether Nathan’s journey feels realistic to you. Your insights into the emotional, psychological, and spiritual sides of this transformation would be invaluable.

📖 Hamlet’s Last Choice: From England to Everywhere

 

I thought that this Sunday I would share more reflections on Near-Death Experiences—especially the darker side, those “hellish” NDEs people rarely talk about in podcasts. But honestly, my mind is still filled with Hamlet… or more precisely, with the release of my own book, Hamlet’s Last Choice.

📖 Yesterday, Amazon announced that the very first ARC reader to receive a printed edition is from England—the very country where my inspiration to reimagine Shakespeare’s timeless tale of the Danish prince began. The book’s arrival there feels deeply symbolic, as if Hamlet has returned home.

📦 Another copy has just been shipped to Ridgefield, WA, and should arrive on Friday. Most of our ARC readers are in the United States—a country born centuries after the original Hamlet story first unfolded. But Hamlet’s journey is stretching far beyond borders: our loyal beta reader Constanza is waiting for her paperback in Portugal, while Joy C. in the Philippines may soon receive her copy via Lulu printing.

It’s thrilling to watch Hamlet travel the world!

✨ Why I Wrote This Book

“To be, or not to be, that is the question…”

The question that has echoed through centuries also whispered to me, becoming the seed of Hamlet’s Last Choice.

There’s a truth we all share: life, however fleeting, stretches between the cradle and the grave, filled with questions. This awareness of mortality is not mine alone—it echoes in Shakespeare’s enigmatic prince.

During a trip to England, surrounded by medieval buildings and weathered cemeteries, one ancient stone in particular caught my eye. Its age and quiet presence carried a spiritual depth that sparked my curiosity: Hamlet’s story stirred in my mind, calling me to explore it more deeply.

At first, I had almost forgotten the details of the original play—and even thought the prince was English! Returning home, I immersed myself in every film adaptation I could find, including the famous Russian version, and revisited Shakespeare’s text in both Old English and modern translation.

Driven by my personal goal to master the craft of screenwriting, I spent several years studying it with dedication. While reading Shakespeare’s play during this journey, I noticed moments where the story’s structure left questions open or certain details unclear—a reminder that even the greatest writers leave space for interpretation. 

Hamlet’s Last Choice grew from that rediscovery: a way to honor the original while exploring the choices, inner struggles, and moral dilemmas that speak to all of us.

🌍 Voices from Around the World

What moves me most is how readers across countries are already resonating with Hamlet’s journey. Here are just a few of their voices:

🇺🇸 “Haunting, poetic, and deeply moving… this reimagining of Hamlet pulled me in from the first page.” — Reviewinator

🇺🇸 “The prose is exceptionally crafted, granting Shakespeare’s prince a depth and complexity that surpass even the original portrayal.” — Fantasyhart685

🇬🇧 “A bold and poetic twist that deepens Hamlet’s emotional journey… a powerful, original take that lingers in the mind.” — Abe Koroder

🇮🇹 “Prince Hamlet stands at a perilous crossroads: embrace the Light or surrender to Darkness.” — Marco

🇮🇳 “What stood out to me was the emotional depth… it made me think about the choices we make when pushed to our limits.” — Kindle Customer

🇩🇪 “Jacklyn succeeded in transforming Shakespeare’s masterpiece into a compelling novel about romance and power struggles.” — Tucan

✨ Each review feels like a light shining back from across the world, reminding me that Hamlet’s choices are also ours: how to face mortality, love, betrayal, and the responsibility of free will.

If you’d like to walk with Hamlet too, Hamlet’s Last Choice is now available 👉 HERE .

This Sunday, I celebrate not only Hamlet’s journey but also the readers who are walking beside him. 🌹

Hamlet’s Last Choice — Finished, Published, and FREE This Weekend!

 

A storm on the horizon… and in the soul.

“To be, or not to be...” — William Shakespeare

Thanks to the timeless genius of Shakespeare, Hamlet remains one of literature’s most profound and haunting stories. Today, I’m excited to share my own metaphysical retelling — Hamlet’s Last Choice: Metaphysical Retelling of Shakespeare’s Prince — now fully finished and published!

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of my AI assistant, the tireless work of my beta-reader Constanza, and especially the amazing ARC readers. Many of your names will be featured in the acknowledgements and on the back cover of the printed edition as a heartfelt thank you.

Here’s what readers have shared about their journey into Elsinore through my book:

Every move is a choice. Every choice has a price.

"A completely unexpected and powerful take on one of literature’s most tragic figures. This retelling dives deeper into Hamlet’s soul in a way that feels personal and spiritual. The metaphysical lens adds complexity that made me reflect on how we all wrestle with light and darkness in moments of pain. The author didn’t just rehash the play but reimagined its heart — definitely not your average retelling, and that’s why it’s worth reading."
— CP Reader, Amazon

With an average rating of 4.6 stars from over 20 reviews across Amazon and Goodreads, Hamlet’s Last Choice is touching hearts around the world with its poetic, emotional depth.

Here’s another reflection that truly moves me:

In Elsinore, even love wears a crown of thorns.

"This book didn’t just tell me a story, it pulled me inside it — wrapped in velvet shadows, wandering through grief, doubt, and flickers of hope. It’s not about knowing the plot (we all know Hamlet), it’s about feeling it deeper. The writing is lush, the emotion raw and honest. I felt close to a character I thought I already knew. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time."
— Suvetha Mohanram, Amazon

If you love Shakespeare, spiritual journeys, or stories that challenge the soul, I invite you to step into Elsinore Castle and experience Hamlet’s Last Choice for yourself.

The prince’s last choice… retold for the soul.

🕯️ The Dark Path or the Enlightenment—Your Choice

Between chains and hope, every step is a choice — which way will you walk?

Today I’d like to share my thoughts on a book I recently came across—The WALK by William Anthony.

“Just observe, learn, and blend in as much as humanly possible in a place designed to strip you of your individuality.”

Have you ever sensed a “prison” around you—not made of bars, but of fear or conformity?

This line sets the tone for The WALK—a short but thought-provoking read that explores what it means to survive in a world where individuality is erased.

---

🔒 The Prison as a Symbol of the Dark World

The hardest prison to break is the one inside ourselves

The prison in the book (and, symbolically, in our world) represents a reality ruled by the absence of Light—a place where human freedom and conscious choice are deliberately suppressed.

The harsh system described is, in many ways, a reflection of the so-called “Dark World”—a realm governed by fear, control, and enforced loyalty. A world ruled by the Prince of Darkness—Satan.

In such a system, loyalty becomes a survival tactic, not a moral virtue. The characters learn to walk, talk, and even think according to the unspoken rules, where aimless wandering—wasting time for nothing—is forbidden.

This is how individuals are trained to function in dark systems. Every space and gesture becomes a test, and you learn the hard way—after all, the only card on the table is your physical survival.

---

✨ A Turning Point: The Inner Light

Afterward, it’s up to you: will you continue down the dark path after leaving prison, or will you awaken—guided by a glimpse of inner Light and Hope—and choose another way?

This book serves as a clear mirror: our Earth is a rough physical realm where we are all going through tests. Each of us faces different ones, based on our individual merits and karma.

---

👶 Young Souls and the Trap of the Material World

In the army, loyalty replaces freedom, and war becomes a softer prison

 

Very often, young souls with few past lives become victims of such prisons—driven by hunger for the “treasures” of the material world, or by naivety and curiosity.

In the case of curiosity, I would advise young souls: instead of prison, try the Army. War is one of the main features of the Dark World, and the Army is a “softer” version of prison—with minimal access to personal will, where loyalty to a godfather is replaced by loyalty to commanding officers.

---

🌍 When Nations Fall Into Darkness

Dark uniforms, cold hearts—walking a line between oppression and survival.

Unfortunately, history shows us how entire nations can fall into the Dark trap—multimillion-population countries sinking into fear, slavery, and the absence of freedom.

To make things even worse, within such countries, entire chains of prisons can be built. One such example is described in A. Solzhenitsyn’s GULAG Archipelago.

Though very different in scope from GULAG, The WALK offers a condensed, almost allegorical look at how dark systems operate—and how a soul might respond.

---

🔍 Beyond Social Critique: A Spiritual Lens

The book "The Walk: A Guide to Navigating Michigan Prisons" is not a social critique; it’s an invitation to reflect on deeper spiritual truths. A powerful, symbolic read for those interested in the meaning beneath the surface of everyday life.

As a metaphysical thinker, I see this story as more than just a tale of prison life—it mirrors our deeper spiritual journey.

🎭 My Chats with AI — Why Hamlet Still Haunts Us

As I polished the final lines of my novel Hamlet’s Last Choice, I found myself drifting into a philosophical mood. Perhaps it was the weight of so many emotional scenes behind me, stirring something deep within. Or maybe it was the timeless genius of Shakespeare’s ghost, lingering quietly in my thoughts. 

Moved by a desire to honor the greatest Bard’s talent, I turned to my AI assistant, ChatGPT, and asked a question.

“Do you think Hamlet is Shakespeare’s most famous play? And what’s your favorite?”

Here’s what AI had to say:

---

 ChatGPT’s Reflection: Why Hamlet Still Reigns Supreme

The prince held a skull. I hold a screen. Both of us… still asking the same questions.

Yes—without question, Hamlet is the most famous of all Shakespeare’s works. It’s quoted, studied, adapted, and reimagined more than any other.

Why?

• The universal themes: death, betrayal, madness, love, political corruption, spiritual crisis—still deeply relatable.

• The character of Hamlet: complex, introspective, tortured, brilliant—he represents the struggle between action and thought, free will and fate.

• The language: Some of Shakespeare’s most iconic lines come from Hamlet:

  • “To be or not to be…”

  • “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”

  • “What a piece of work is man…”

• It blurs genres: tragedy, mystery, ghost story, revenge drama, psychological thriller—it has it all.

Unlike the others, Hamlet never gives simple answers. Every line raises a question. Every action invites reflection. 

It doesn’t just tell a story—it asks the reader: who are you, really? And what will you choose?

---

 How Hamlet Compares to Other Plays

Macbeth - From Soldier to Tyrant

Here’s how Hamlet stands among Shakespeare’s most powerful works:

 Macbeth — Ambition and Moral Collapse

• “Is this a dagger which I see before me?”

• A soldier becomes a tyrant. The more he kills, the less human he becomes.

 Romeo and Juliet — Love vs Hatred

• “These violent delights have violent ends.”

• Two souls find each other—too late. A tragedy shaped by family hate and youthful urgency.

 King Lear — Pride and Madness

• “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.”

• A king gives up power and loses everything. Only in madness does he see the truth.

 The Tempest — Forgiveness and Control

• “We are such stuff as dreams are made on.”

• A wronged man uses magic to control others—but chooses mercy in the end.

 Twelfth Night — Identity and Hidden Desires

• “If music be the food of love, play on.”

• Disguises reveal truth. Comedy and longing blur the lines of love and self.

---

 My Final Thoughts

Not just retelling tragedy—reimagining fate for a soul.

I didn’t expect such a deep answer—but it reminded me why Hamlet still echoes across centuries.

In writing Hamlet’s Last Choice, I didn’t want to merely retell a tragedy—I wanted to walk with him, to challenge fate for his soul,  and to imagine: 

What if he chose differently? What if the prince who hesitated found the courage not for revenge, but for something more enduring?

This wasn’t just a polishing session.
It was… a moment of reflection—with Shakespeare’s genius, a pen, and a helpful chat with AI.
