i have never experienced that but i would like to know if there is another side and also stay alive to share the knowledge... :p
The problem with doubt is we all seem to have to remove it for ourselves to find faith. :)
yeah, thats true... whatever knowledge i share everyone else will want to witness those by themselves. i know i would. always the question, why not with me?
I like to think of it like this: We all have different lessons to learn, but we're going to the same place. Each experience is subjective and necessary.
hmmm
I have not experienced a NDE myself. I have had the honor and privilege of being present for both beginnings and endings...birth and death. I appreciate the wisdom in your statement that , "There can be no endings without beginnings and no beginnings without endings." In my experience working/serving families in all stages of the Birth-Life-Death Continuum that statement rings true.
Have you shared your NDE, I would Love to read about it.
I thought about linking back to this post, but ultimately they are all so subjective and I feel like my understanding of mine has changed so much over time that I couldn't even describe it the same exact way anymore, but hopefully you find something interesting in it. :)

It is really interesting from the post that you linked here how with each NDE your view about life and death evolved, to the point of writing about it again in this post. Perhaps we will have a better way of understanding and describing these experiences in the future, but it was a real eye-opener to get an insight into what someone else who has gone through these experiences think!
TY for sharing it :)
I have heard stories about NDE, all are alike they travel into tunnel and see a light in the end and gain knowledge. Some did remember they are just happy.
Interesting, because mine are nothing like that at all. Check the first comment if you want to read the ones I had, I linked them to her. I think the whole "walk into the light" is a joke people tell each other.
Thanks...
I would love to hear the story of your NDE if you care to share?
Have you heard of David Sunfellow? He is doing some interesting work studying NDEs and compiling the common threads that run through most of them despite the seemingly different circumstances.
He has suggested this is changing the world or humanity and has used the information to formulate a plan on how to bring heaven on earth in his opinion. Some fascinating stuff there:

I've almost died twice but never had any kind of mystical experience, I just woke up in the hospital disoriented and blurry. But those experiences made me value life much more and I now see death as no big thing simply because I've already died twice essentially. Luckily I woke up both times but the feeling of it, of life just switching off, has left me stronger and way more grateful.
It's funny you say that, because it was the third one that things got all "woo woo" for me. My personal views on the whole "mystical experience" thing and spirituality is basically to accept that we are all one and part of something greater than this 3D existence. I think the harder we try to define what that is, we just basically complicate it unnecessarily. It is what it is. Interesting to hear you've also been to "the other side" though. :)
I don't think there is a beginning or an end to life. There is simply one moment you are alive, and another you are not. Dying itself is fictitious.. you are either alive or you are not. Time itself may be an illusion, the past and future do not exist except as fictions in our mind. Only a never-ending 'now' is truly the only thing that exists is what I believe.
So I don't think life necessarily implicates death or death implicates life. Death exists, but dying doesn't just like 'becoming alive' doesn't.
Edit: Worrying about death is nonsensical too in a way: you'll never experience it anyway. By the time you are dead, you are no more, so the experience is lost on us
@clayboyn - I have mixed views about people's perception of NDEs... having seen a very young girl who nearly lost her footing and would have fallen down a very long set of stairs (because she was paying more attention to her phone) to what would have at least been a serious injury shrug the event as if nothing had happened and continued to stare at the phone and keep walking. I guess for some people it means something, and for others who continue to risk not only their lives but the lives of others and tempt fate. Of course, I have very little experience to draw on and so I can't speak with much authority or conviction about it. Your post did give me an opportunity to pause and give the matter further consideration. Thank you.
Very informative post thanks for sharing it with us.... resteem comment done...
