Understanding Hurt & Pain | 18-20 February 2026
Join us in understanding the deeper effects of hurt and pain from the lens of the afterlife. Discover how Peace is not the only casualty - and how our actions ripple outwards, affecting others, nature, as well as the entire universe.
In a life review described in The Ten Secrets of Heaven by Theresa Cheung, a near-death experiencer recounts how he felt all the emotions both happy and sad.
“If I had made someone feel happy I felt that joy, and if I had been selfish or rude or hurtful I felt their pain.”
One memory stood out. At eleven or twelve years old, the narrator had verbally bullied a boy at school. During the life review, he felt the boy’s pain and isolation.
“In my review I felt the pain and alienation of that boy. I saw him at home in his garden with his family, and how the pain I had caused him sent out negative energy to his mother, father and sister, and even to the flowers in the garden and the birds in the sky. This taught me that everything in the world is alive in some way. Nothing is not alive.”
The review revealed something even deeper:
“I saw in my life review that anything kind or loving I had done I had also done that for myself. Likewise, if I hurt someone, I had hurt myself. I experienced my life again not so much from my point of view, but from the point of view of others, and how the environment around me experienced it.”
It became clear:
“It became startlingly obvious that every thought, feeling, word and action affects others; trees, plants, animals too, and the entire universe.”
There was no external judgment.
“In my review I was not judged by any being of light or by anyone or thing. I was judged by myself but, as my ego had been left behind on earth, I couldn't hide any truth about myself from the light. This has taught me that on earth many of the things we think are important - career, money, status and so on are not important at all in the world of spirit. It is often the insignificant things that matter.”
