THE OMEGA PORTAL

A spiritual work looks at a near-death experience.

Two men, who remain nameless throughout this book by Anonymous, sit down for a conversation. The topic is how one of those men had a near-death experience that had him “deeply connecting with a Multidimensional Being.” The experience with this being, whom he refers to as “Omega,” was an immense one. The conversation spans the course of a weekend. The goal is to explore this interaction with Omega in fine detail. After his ordeal, the man finds he has a greater sensitivity toward the world; he is less worried about dying; and he’s even eating better. But these personal changes are merely the beginning of what he has to say. The interaction with Omega was not just a one-time deal. Enter into the account something called “bridging sessions.” Omega is still contacted by the man during events that involve “inflowing information and understandings.” What does all this multidimensional interaction amount to? The book delves into various takeaways. Consider the idea that this three-dimensional universe is part of a much grander “4D multiverse.” Or that a future world could involve older people choosing a “voluntary life completion” option to make Earth more tenable for others. Or that death is not the end it is often understood to be. Some notions are clearer than others. A sentence like “Dissolving into the Silent Reverence of the Deep indivisible Peace that passes all understanding” may take a few passes to fully unpack. Yet the intriguing and engrossing volume is notable for not shying away from challenging concepts. From the tangible (a potential future fraught with environmental problems) to the abstract (what it means to connect with something well beyond human understanding), the discoveries flow freely. Although some rambling occurs (“Let me just kind of take a step back and swing my bat a few times, and spit in the dirt, and then step back up to the plate”), there is an overall sense of authenticity. It is, after all, a conversation between two ordinary people. One of them just happens to have had an experience that is not so easy to explain.

This earnest, if meandering, account of a mystical connection offers much for readers to uncover.
