Interesting post. Thank you for sharing. I do believe love is at the heart of who we are, but, fall short of calling the earth the “ultimate playground of love” given how much suffering there is here. If given the choice, I would choose never to come back to earth. That millions of people and animals suffer such cruel conditions (even if by their own premeditation) is enough to make me shiver at the thought of having to go through this life more than once. I hope there is something better beyond…

I tend to reject the hallucinations theory because of the similarity in theme of NDE’s as well as the fact that when people are encountered in an NDE, they are usually deceased. What would account for this in an hallucination? Best regards…

Yes, indeed,

Love is the best thing we can do. Having faith and hope are a close second.

And I appreciate your writing about near death experiences.

A few years ago I wrote a letter to myself. I had a cancer scare, which turned out, thank God, to be zero to worry about. But it made me think more about death and face it bravely. So I wrote about what I believe. Like I write in my about me on one of my blogs, I’m Christian but not pushy about it. But I wrote not just why I believe the way I do but also near death. To me the evidence outweighs the skeptics.

But you want to know why I believe there’s life after death? Yes, “the Bible tells me so”–the old Sunday School song, but in addition to that: It just make sense.

I’m nearly 70 now. Life has been hard at times and wonderful more often. But to die at say 85 or so, after finally gaining a bit of wisdom and the ability to share, after finally maturing, I trust, and coming into some of my potential–the bow out at that point, with nothing to look forward to except feeding trees eventually from my grave–that’s ridiculous. And nature is hard at times but never ridiculous.

This article is almost a mirror image of the stories in Raymond Moody's books on NDEs. I have read many books on this subject and they have lead me to believe in this experience. I did not accept what the books told me, until I have examined the information thoroughly and I did not waste my time cheating myself out of knowledge, especially since this subject is relevant to everyone. I have been near death, but I recovered without an NDE. This could have been one of those case where medicine was given to me and eliminated my memory of the NDE I might have had. O well, I encourage mystery, because without it there would be no truth left to find out. It seems we have to wait until we die or a very small select few will get a chance to connect with our creator. Not fair. lol @Nathalie Lussier from Billionaire Woman,

Complete peace of mind , a state of just a wonderful tranquility is nothing less than divinity itself. In my onion, a constant & relentless search of very human beings can be for nothing other than this. It is already there. It’s a question you knowing that it is there. Thanks for the good post.

The only ones who won’t be SURPRISED when they die are agnostics – who admit they don’t know and therefore will simply find out. EVERYONE else will find out they didn’t really know after all.

Great post. I used to dabble in self hypnosis and had a pretty neat experience with past life regression. Learned things I've never known before. Sometimes I look forward to this experience and wonder about reincarnation. The one thing I'm not looking forward to is the "meeting" of people on the other side - if that's true. One go-around with them in life is enough. Ryans last blog post..How To Write and Publish Your Own Book in 40 Days - A Review

Western civilization and science are finally catching on to the facts and experiences of death and near death. Other cultures over the last 4000 years have described these experiences in great detail.

We are spirit….nothing dies except out belief system…..and if we are smart, we “die to the self” long before our physical transition.
