Read More Buy the book Jeffrey Long, MD Takes NDE Research to a whole new level! “There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of near death experience (NDE) than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer,” states radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long in his groundbreaking book Evidence of the Afterlife. Read More Buy the book Touching Comments We want to thank our readers by sharing some of the most heart-felt comments. Just a thank you for continuing to post near death surveys on your website. As a spiritual seeker who also is dealing with cancer, these accounts are very comforting. I check for new postings regularly and always enjoy reading all the new postings as soon as they are available on the Website. I found Dr. Long's book to be an excellent source of information that was both analytically presented and inspiring. I've survived cancer a number of times and am prayerfully optimistic this will again be the case at age 64. However, I'm confident that a loving Creator awaits us to experience Atonement in Love once we lay our bodies down. Thanks to many NDE accounts of the marvelous love that awaits us, my fear of dying has diminished. - S Thanks Jody. You know, what you and Jeff do with this website is extraordinarily important and useful. I cannot overstate how important NDE stories have been to me since losing my son three years ago. I have read many hundreds of stories on your website, and refer people to it frequently. - J Just wanted to write and say how much your website has meant to me. I have been interested in NDEs for a long time. The first one I heard about on a BBC documentary resonated with me so much. I have just read Amy C NDE 4720 and was awash with tears. Happy tears , tears of relief! I have always worried about many of life's big questions and have been trying to grow on a spiritual level. I have been able to do so by reading as many NDEs as I can and learning from these peoples experiences. What you are providing people in your website is a gift. I have read your book "Evidence of the Afterlife" and want to thank you for that too. I now truly believe our time here on earth is given to us as a way for us to grow spiritually. I am a much calmer and happier person because of this knowledge. As a teacher I respect the nature of learning and look forward to a future where I am always learning and growing. Thank you for being a part of that. - K More From Our Readers Thank You! So many of these experiences are clearly from people who are unsure or in some manner insecure about telling their story. I wish these was some way I could reach them just to send a short message of thanks for posting. Not to breach their privacy or make their ego swell. Just to feel I can close the circle, let them know they really help, their experience in print is a powerful message. - R Thank you for the suggestion and your time. Many blessings to you and thanks again for the work you do - L Thank you, I really love your sites. Thanks for all of the hard work you do to get this information out there to the world. It's helped me so much!! :) Blessings to you... - R I love your site. It has been such an inspiration to me over the years. I found John K's STE in the exceptional accounts section so uplifting. Like him, I am a monk in a monastery. I wonder if there's any way you could forward my thanks to him? Really a wonderful account. Thanks for all your work here. Bravo! - A I just had to express my gratitude for this website I absolutely love it! I look forward to reading all the new stories every week. I too had an out of body experience when I was 7 yrs old so I understand. It also helps clarify things for me now. I just can't thank you enough. – L Both my wife and I read your book and were very moved. We have gone to your website often over the past few years and have found great comfort in the postings from those who wrote about their NDEs. I just wanted to reach out and encourage your work in this area. You are well appreciated. -S I wanted to thank you for your wonderful site. I have been following your messages for years. Many are uplifting to me and I am sure others. I can imagine that the people who have spoken of their NDE's are very relieved and happy to find that they have a place to share. – M Thank you so much for the NDERF website. I found it thankfully due to an article in "Share International" by Patricia Pitchon. I have for quite a long time had an interest in NDE's , the many accounts on your website have given me a much deeper understanding of the nature of the Universe and of our role on the physical plane. It is also profoundly comforting. I have told several people about the website in hope of spreading the knowledge further. Your website has a huge positive effect on my life, I am so grateful, - K Thank you so much for your site. It has given me a lot of comfort over the past few months. I've read so many stories and find them all fascinating and reassuring. While I haven't had an NDE, so many of the experiences sound familiar to me. It doesn't make sense, but that's the best way to describe the feeling I get when reading the stories. - Z I am contacting you because you have the most beautiful stories on your site. I cannot wait to read them every Monday morning when I get up because they usually get updated over a weekend. - E Please share your NDE with us. We have two other websites devoted to other aspects of consciousness experiences. ADCRF www.adcrf.org is for after death communications (ADC). OBERF www.oberf.org is for all other experiences that are not an ADC or an NDE, such as spiritually transformative event, power of prayer, out of body experience, meditation experiences, premortal existence, precognitive dreams, etc. Privacy: We do not share your private information or your e-mail address with anyone under any circumstances without your permission.
