This blog is more than an account of Near Death Experiences. It ponders in detail the tough questions of life. Who are you, and why are you here in this physical world? What happens when you die, and is there a judgment? However, most anything could appear here. This is not a news blog, archived posts are just as relevant as new posts.

Received another letter last week from an individual who’s loved one committed suicide. I get this kind of letter all too often. Mostly, they want to know if the loved one will be punished. Suicides have tripled in the last 20 years. Lots of reasons for the increase: stressful society, competition for colleges, employment, and dependencies account for many deaths. People get hooked on drugs, alcohol, and heavy gambling debt. Drug addicts frequently die from an accidental overdose that is a questionable suicide.
In the opposite direction there’s a decrease in spiritual training. People don’t get involved in spiritual pursuits as often today. These letters sadden me, and there’s nothing to do but comfort the author. I hope every potential suicide would read about near death experiences.
Near death experiences teach us a lot about the spirit world, and what happens when we cross over. I am not an expert on the subject, but did ask a lot of questions and remember much of what I saw there. The spirit world considers suicide a selfish act. The person who commits suicide has to face their problems, and work them out, whether in the physical or spiritual world. So suicide gains the individual nothing. Meanwhile loved ones left behind are emotionally devastated.
Reading near death experiences may help prevent suicides. Studies have shown persons with suicidal tendencies are less likely to attempt suicide after reading a number of near death experiences. Especially suicide near death experiences. NDEs may give them the options needed to work through their problems.
I watched your videos on youtube. Saw you’ve posted another video in June about our society. You talked about the fact that so many young people seem to get depressed or even commit suicide. You say that these people could be helped by knowing about their spiritual nature. I fully agree with you. In general I think our world suffers from what you might call demystification, we think everything is known, and that everything can be technically or evolutionary explained. The spiritual is ruled out. But there’s another important problem about our world which I think is directly related to this. By all the information we get through all the media the society we live in seems to be so big, that we as individual human beings seem to have little or no significance. We’re more or less ‘told’ by all these images in the media that if you want to mean something in this big machine the world has become, you must meet impossible demands. You must be a superstar, a genius, a hero, rich, famous, etc. If individual people feel meaningless and insignificant, they will regard other individuals as equally insignificant and treat them as such. Hence the violence, the shooting etc.
For an adolescent growing up and only just discovering him or herself, it is very scaring and depressing to know that they’re expected to live in a world like that. That’s an important part of the problem I think. I’ve felt the same and still do sometimes, even though I am over 40. The world has become more individualistic, and yet the individual seems to have lost its significance. And it’s very sad of course that young people have to find their way in a world like that. And you’re right, they and we all need a deep feeling of spiritual belonging to cure ourselves and the world. And I I think we can will cure ourselves and the world, in spite of everything.
I accidentally found your site when i was looking for the “author” of the line “Life’s a bitch”. I read through some of the posted literatures and I found each one of them to be truly inspirational and worth sharing, but I don’t know who the authors are.
Your site is more than inspiration to me, it strengthens me and makes me value my life and other people’s lives more than I used to.

I had a NDE when I was only one year old that I remember fully. The interesting thing about it is that I could not understand what everyone around me was saying before I died. However, after I died and spiraled upward I could hear everyone’s voices below me and understood every word. The only thing that brought me back down into earth and eventually into my body was my mother’s grief stricken scream laden with pain.
