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.

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called, “Smile.” The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch, an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was smiling. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for acceptance.
He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his help-mate. I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “coffee is all Miss” because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it, the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “thank you.” I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, “God is here to give you hope.”
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, “That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.” We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pure Light of God’s sweet love. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in my project and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s, my son, the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: unconditional love and acceptance. Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS — NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

In the typical near death experience, right after becoming aware of being out of body and floating around, a light appears far off down a tunnel. The experiencer begins to gravitate towards that light, enter the tunnel and start going faster and faster toward the light. In the tunnel may be seen others going toward the light also.
The Light is very bright, but doesn’t hurt the eyes to look upon it. Entering the Light the experiencer is surrounded, permeated by the golden Light. The Light has substance, texture, and as it envelopes the experiencer love, caring, and compassion are felt. Total love, unconditional love is heaped upon the experiencer along with total acceptance. The experiencer feels at home, the place he has always belonged, and never wants to leave again.
Questions begin to flow from the experiencer: “Where am I; What am I doing here; Am I dead; Is this heaven; Where is God?” All these questions are immediately answered in a consciousness to consciousness transfer, to ask is to receive. As each question is asked, it is answered, the knowledge of the whole universe, and its full meaning are available. Huge amounts of knowledge pass from the Light to the experiencer. This is the enlightment part of the near death experience. However, when the experiencer returns to his physical body, not all of the knowledge given can be brought back with him. The physical dimension doesn’t have the language, nor the concepts to explain all of what the experiencer learned in the spiritual dimension. But while all is not remembered there is enough retained to change the experiencer’s life forever. His perception of physical life will never be the same again.
Some believe the Light is God, and some don’t. There is a realization that the Light contains everything, all consciousness including themselves, all energy, everything that exists, in both spiritual and physical dimensions. It is All-That-Is, and some call the Light by that name. Some call it the Oneness of all things in which they are a part.
Next, the experiencer will notice “Beings of Light”, coming toward him.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the readers of this blog. May you be blessed with happiness and peace this year. Holidays are the time for visiting family, friends and loved ones. Sharing food and gifts, giving thanks for what you have to enjoy. Doesn’t matter your religion or if you have no religion. Slip on your coat of compassion and enjoy. If a lot of your family and friends have passed over, as mine have, then enjoy giving to others in need of good food and a few gifts. ‘Tis the season to be jolly, and kind, and caring. Be at peace with yourself and the world, let-go of wrongs, let love find a place in your heart during the holidays and all next year. You will be happier for it.
