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.

Walking Through Illusion features a series of short stories about Biblical people who either knew Jesus or knew of Him, and were influenced by Him in one way or another. It is about people who lived long before Christianity began. The author believes that we don’t take our beliefs with us when we leave here; we take the love we found from having them.
Each chapter focuses on the growth of a particular person and each chapter is complete within itself with a specific theme. The end of each chapter has a work sheet with questions designed to bring the ideas from the book into the reader’s everyday life in a meaningful way.
This book is an excellent way to learn spiritual principles. It brings out in easy to understand language the main points on the path of spiritual growth. I highly recommend reading and rereading this book, completing the work sheets and walking through the illusion into enlightenment.
While psychology has long employed the scientific method to help determine cause-and-effect relationships, the experience of near death may not be so easily studied. For many, the chief question of near death experiences is whether there is part of us that is distinct from the body. Questions about the spiritual world, life after-death, and the existence of a “soul” become a proved reality in the minds of some near death survivors.
The idea that conscious awareness can exist after death, generally referred to as the ‘soul’, has been inherent in Eastern and Western religions for thousands of years. In addition to spiritual accounts, innumerable subjective reports of conscious awareness seemingly separated from the subject’s brain and physical body occur in conjunction with so-called near death experiences (NDEs) in patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest (1,2). Such patients describe remarkably consistent phenomenology including a white light, being in a tunnel, serenity, deceased loved ones, life review and, in some cases, floating out of the body (out-of-body experiences – OBEs). Comparable experiences have been reported in various types of meditative and altered states, traumatic psychological events, or seemingly without cause. A Gallup poll estimated some 10 million Americans have reported NDEs/OBEs…..
Hospice Nurse Comforts the Dying and Bereaved through Her Work and New Book.
For nearly two decades, hospice nurse Elissa Al-Chokhachy has listened to people talk about experiences that defy reason. After a death, their loved one comes to them through sight, sound, touch, smell or a sign.
“Originally, I thought it was really rare that people had these experiences of loved ones after they die,” said Al-Chokhachy, 56, a board-certified hospice and palliative care nurse. “I can now say it’s quite common…
