This is especially true with those near death. It brings comfort and peace in the time of greatest need.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of believing in, and honoring a higher intelligence (God) goes back as far as mankind. From cave paintings through modern writing, God has been a part of the human existence on earth. Near Death Experiences prove there is a higher intelligence, and that we are loved and cared for by it.<\/p>\n<p>Those with problems need to know this. It provides hope for the future. It provides a meaning and purpose for their existence and the incentive to change. NDEs have provided an incentive to change for all who experience them. I was not changed by my Near Death Experience. I saw within it the need to change, it was the most powerful incentive for change in my entire life. <\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2009, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
