It's a misguided theory that isn't rooted in any wisdom or personal 'knowing'... It doesn't understand why the 'light' is experienced... It doesn't even account for the fact that no individual alive today can tell you to do X, Y, and Z when you die because if they had actual knowledge of this, then they would have experienced this alleged alternative outcome (avoiding the light) and they wouldn't be here to even tell you about this theory! Right? So who are you really listening to when you read about this theory? Someone who hasn't experienced what they're telling you to do - yet they have convinced themselves that this rises to the level of 'knowledge' and 'truth'?

Humans are naturally inclined towards 'quick fixes' and getting rewarded with the least amount of work/sacrifice possible. So of course when a theory comes along claiming that you just have to remember to do X, Y, and Z when you die and the you'll be rewarded - it's attractive to people... Just like ideologies that try to convice (manipulate) you into thinking you'll be granted a special reward if you just claim these beliefs before you die... It's playing on human impulses/tendencies... It also feeds on feelings of paranoia and persecution...

Tell you what, find ONE person who advocates the 'light trap' theory and ask them if they can personally vouch for the claims of the theory by way of personal experience (and therefore knowledge)... You will only hear the sound of crickets in response...

I've written about this topic in greater length in older threads - I don't have the energy to write about it at any greater length (at least not right now)... I would highly encourge you to question the shit out of this theory so that you will identify all of the elements that do not make sense and do not contribute to any personal understanding and realization of who/what you really are (the actual nature of your existence)...
