When the near death experiencer returns to his body, and recovers from whatever trauma caused his near death experience his perception of life is changed forever. The change is for the good of the individual. Atheists and agnostics become believers, not in religion, but in spirituality. It is now understood that life continues after the death of the body.
If there were some way to safely induce NDEs, we could change the world, in just a few years, from fear and violence, to love and compassion. It would truly be heaven on earth. But NDEs can not be induced, they happen only after the body and brain are clinically dead.
The near death experience heals not only the state of mind, it also heals the state of the body. Doctors have wondered many times how people could recover from such severe injuries and illnesses, after they were clinically dead. It was the healing experience, the touching of the Light that brought health back. I was told I had only about six months to live when I refused surgery for a heart condition. My near death experience returned me to perfect health, not instantly, but in 18 months. My doctor was astounded by my full recover.
The changed life is caused by a new perception that results from an expansion of consciousness. There is now a much larger picture of the world to consider, one that includes both physical and spiritual dimensions. An experiencer loses the desire for material wealth, the goal now is to improve spiritually and to help others in the process. Narrow personal goals just don’t matter anymore. Old beliefs taught in childhood are no longer held true. Actually, most previous beliefs, and perspectives taught in religion, and science of the world at large are no longer considered valid. There is a shift from believing to experience.
The desire is to learn through experience. To learn to love yourself and all others. To show kindness, caring, and compassion to everyone. In the beginning it is not easy to do, much practice is needed, and it is a long path filled with bumps and shallows. The near death experience has clearly shown the benefits of love, and the experience has taken away the fear of dying. Death does not exist, and to not fear death means to not fear life either. There is a sense of freedom and peace not known before. A joy of living a good physical life.
Most near death experiencers are so excited and motivated by their experience they want to tell everyone about it. However, they quickly found many individuals were frightened or threatened by the telling of their experience. So they learn to “keep quite” about what they had seen and heard during the time they were clinically dead. Not so much now, but over 20 years ago it was difficult to find someone to talk to about the experience. There was a tendency to believe the experience was just an hallucination, or dream. Today, people are more open to the experience having read about it or viewed it in the media.
It still takes considerable time for an experiencer to assimulate and fully understand what just happened to them. It took me over three years to come to grips with my experience and to feel comfortable living in the physical world. I made contact with some other experiencers and we formed a group that proved mutually beneficial.
Still today, after 30 years of clear, solid near death experience research, there are those who wrongly believe the near death experience is just an hallucination. I believe this is due mainly to the misinformation taught by science that there exists only the physical dimension, and anything else is nonsense. Of course science has no proof of this teaching.
The quote below was taken from the “Near Death After Effects” of this site. I believe the list to be an accurate description of the results of a near death experience.
–Strong decrease or complete loss of the fear of death as the result of their NDEs.
–Believe that there is life after death.
–NDErs, including suicide attempters do not generally attempt to take their lives again.
–Spiritual growth, a loving attitude, knowing a Higher Power/God, inner peace and a sense of purpose in life characterize the changes most meaningful to NDErs.
–Strong increase in their concern for others, and that life has meaning or purpose.
–Increase in psychic phenomena or healing abilities following their NDEs.
–Greater ecological sensitivity and planetary concern.
–Increased physical sensitivity, diminished tolerance to light, alcohol and drugs.
–The average NDEr comes to regard him or herself as “an immortal soul currently resident within a material form so lessons can be learned while sojourning in the earthplane.”
–A feeling that the brain has been “altered” to encompass “more”, and a feeling that one is now using the “whole brain” rather than just a small part.
–Energy surges up and down the body happen to many, and can be accompanied by “lights” in the air. Researchers usually regard this as the release of “kundalini” (a Sanskrit term meaning “coiled energy at the base of the spine”).
–Electrical sensitivity refers to a condition whereby the forcefield or energy around an individual affects nearby electrical equipment and technological devices.
