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.

There are people who say there is no God, or spiritual world, and that all religion is mythology because there is no way to scientifically prove it exists. They call themselves skeptics. Yet skeptics, at least most of them, do believe in things that can’t be proven scientifically. They believe in scientific theories such as the theory of evolution, the big bang theory, and the theory that our consciousness was created by our brain. But there is no real proof that these theories are true, that is why they call them theories. Are they real skeptics or just people with an agenda. Seems to me real skeptics would be skeptical about anything that could not be proven. Not just a few choice items. Ponder this.
Meditation is listening to silence. It is clearing your mind of the clutter left by expectations, worry, and fear to bring into focus the peace that is yours for the asking. Meditation doesn’t have to be formal. It can be done anytime there’s a lull in your daily routine. Make it a practice to empty your thoughts, and rest in the stillness for a few moments. If you find it difficult to empty your mind, then replace the thoughts you have with one more appealing to you. A sail ship slowly making way on still water. A gentle wind moving through a lush green forest. A person you love. Whatever brings you to peace. Meditation is a path of balance, use it often.
“Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.”
Benjamin Franklin, American printer,
writer, philosopher, scientist and inventor, 1706-1790
The reason these experiences are called “Near Death Experiences” is due to the interaction with people which the experiencer meets while clinically dead. The experiencer may meet deceased relatives, friends, or loved ones, as well as persons unknown to the experiencer. These individuals may be called Light Beings, Angels, Guides, or Teachers.
The one most remembered by the experiencer is the one who tells them they must go back into their body and finish their physical lives. This person could be a relative, loved one, religious figure, or someone unknown. Usually the experiencer resists going back, wanting to stay in the spirit world. But they are reasoned, or forced, back into their bodies to finish their life in the physical.
While this is the most common experience there can be variations of it. Sometimes a choice is given to remain in the spiritual, or to go back into the physical. Here the experiencer must decide what to do. Each experience is unique to the experiencer. No two are exactly alike.
Since no two experiences are exactly alike many other things can happen in the interaction with people met during the experience. Relatives can tell the experiencer things previously unknown. In one experience a relative told the experiencer where to find their last will. In another where to find some hidden money. On occasion the experiencer will meet a relative unknown to them and verify the relative was real after coming back to life, or meet a relative they didn’t know was dead.
Experiencers may be shown buildings, art, the hall of records, the crystal city, among many other things. Colors, music, flowers, and fauna they had never before seen.
Some will be given a life review. Their life will pass before them on a screen while they review how they interacted with others during their physical life so far. They will feel what others felt during the process. If they harmed an individual in any way the experiencer will feel the same pain felt by the person they harmed, and conversely, if they helped an individual in any way the experiencer will feel the same joy felt by the person they helped. This is sometimes call the judgement. It is judged only by the experiencer though light beings will be present to help if asked. Life reviews are teachings that help us to change our attitudes and feelings toward others so we may be more loving individuals.
There may be other things happen that I have not remembered. I hope this writing will encourage you to read a lot of near death experiences. The more you read, the more you will understand the nature of this phenomenon. There are over 300 experiences on this site, some small, some large. I posted them exactly as I received them with only a spell checker run on them and words that were mispelled corrected.
This is what makes experiencers know their experiences were real. You may have heard skeptics say near death experiences are just hallucinations, delusions, and such, that can be reproduced by scientists using drugs or electical stimulation techniques. This, of course, is totally false. The research now being done on near death experiences is showing that consciousness does indeed live after the death of the brain and body. I hope you will read the current research as well as many near death experiences.
