S.K. W's NDE 4/19/02

I am more compassionate, forgiving and nonjudgmental. I seem to show people how to let go of their fears and self-esteem issues and LIVE. Many people look to me as a role model. I make friends everywhere I go, I'm no longer shy or full of self-condemnation, which has resulted in a large, loving family of friends.

Bob A's NDE.

The last frame was a shot of seeing my wife with my two children, 2 and 4 years old. After the life review, I heard my grandmother saying prayers over me, so I also said my prayers, 'Dear lord Jesus if you let me raise my kids I will work for you the rest of my life, in your son's name Jesus Christ amen.'

JoAnn M's NDE.

I'm a lot more tolerant of differences I encounter with people. I'm also more selective. I tend to feel a purpose sometimes when I meet people and know to hang in there with them cause there's a lesson. If something isn't working I seem to be able to identify that and move on. My daily life is more meditative, more reflective, more time talking to God, more spiritual. I feel more connected to all kinds of things.

Corina's NDE.

I know God wants me do do something, but I wish that I was sure of what that is. I would be comfortable , counseling, writing (if I was better at it), doing workshops of some kind, etc but would be nice to have the gift of healing in some way. I would like to make a BIG difference in the world before I go again. I know that this may sound silly to some people, but believe me, this is from my heart and soul. What a wonderful feeling!

suffice it to say there is a heaven. this is a place of learning for where we are to spend eternity, we are to bring as many people back as possible and the kindness or evil we do to each other causes peoples lives to be forever changed. we affect possible generations to come. even a harsh word could cause a person on the edge to turn away from god, so live it right folks and just give love and understanding if you can't do any thing else! i'm no god or angel just someone who knows for a fact there is another place and what you do here you take with you, good and bad. it's all about who you helped get through, over, around and eventually back home. its all about the love we get and give

How has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices? Career choices? A depressing outlook of mans greed, destruction, and how he thinks he has the right to take another's life, he knows not where he came from, he knows not where he will go on this ball traveling at approximately 65000 mph in complete infinity.

I think of people I feel connected to in life are connected forever. not just yuour family, but i feel that the life we choose here, is with different family member from the bigger family we have. i can't explain it, but i think my family is my family and it is really much bigger family and while we don't know them as family while we are here, when we are there we remember them and maybe choose to spend some time on earth with them another time. i don't know how to explain it.

Dr. George Rodonaia's NDE

Anyone who has had such an experience of God, who has felt such a profound sense of connection with the reality, knows that there is only one truly significant work to do in life and that is love; to love nature, to love people, to love animals, to love creation itself, just because it is. To serve God's creation with a warm and loving hand of generosity and compassion ' that is the only meaningful existence.

Mary's NDE

He showed me a beautiful shiny bubble which floated next to me. In it I saw a tiny baby nursing at a breast. The baby became a toddler and begun walking toward me still inside the bubble. Then the imagine of a young boy turned into a teenager and he continued to age until he was a full grown man. Who is that? I asked. Your son Michael, was the reply. I recall feeling very relieved that I hadn't destroyed his chance at life. A flood of fearful thoughts crowded into my mind. I wasn't even married and could barely support myself, how could I raise a son? Could he ever forget or forgive me for trying to abort him at four months into life? How could I ever do this alone without help? I saw a flash of myself with a man I knew to be my future husband and he was holding the 2 year old boy I saw in the picture.

And the biggest joke on us all is that there is no race, color or creed to our existence after life here. We are all made in the image and likeness of our Creator. We are all beings of solid light with forms, with unique, individual identities. And as infinite as fingerprints, we are equally infinite.

Since my experience, I have found that I no longer fear death, that I have a much more spiritual outlook and I take my responsibility of raising my children very seriously now. I am there for them and I am proud to announce that their lives are coming along much better now that I have become the father I should have always been and I have met and married a beautiful women who is beautiful on the inside and who is giving me strength and courage to get through all of life's trials and tribulations. I will never forget my experience on the edge of Hell and what it has taught me. The negative Near Death Experience is not negative when good comes out of it. I am now a pastoral counselor and do some bookkeeping for small businesses on the side. My children are on their own and have happy, busy, productive lives. I feel at peace.

Karen S's NDE

In a fit of fear and panic I began crying. No, I couldn't be dead. What would happen to my son? He was the most beautiful boy, so happy, but with a touch of sadness that seemed to pierce his soul. This was his lesson to tackle. He knew coming into this life the main lessons he was to learn. It was meant to be. I saw a new mom for Jake when he was about 7 or 8. A beautiful woman, kind hearted who definitely cared for Jake, and treated him well, but she was to have her own child with my widowed husband and the love she showed for her own child was different and unequal to the love she showed for my child - her stepchild. This isn't what I dreamed for Jake. This couldn't be. I was happy for my husband. He was okay. He was happy. My son was a different story.

I am supposed to extend my hand in friendship again. The bond that existed between us can no be broken by life, death, time, space, or matter. It was a bond within our hearts.

There is a master plan and each and every one of us has a part in it. I am certain that each part of that plan is just as important as the next. Belief that position and status make your roll more important than the lady who takes your money at the convenience store is nothing but egotistical nonsense. I know, I used to think that way too.

My personal purpose was to learn about love and all the ways to express it on earth, and to help other people in any way I could.

I WOULD BE ASSIGNED A LOT TO I.C.U., AND IT SEEMED EVEN THE WORST PATIENTS HAD LESS PAIN,-OR RESTED BETTER ETC.

I notice people. I help whenever I can. Even if it just means to tell a stranger they look nice. I am much more understanding in relationships- I know that we all have these missions and we all struggle so I can let go of others' hurtful actions toward me easier since I know they have just not connected to the love and are "lost" and are acting out of what is left which is fear.

I learned that we must love above all things in this life. And our actions are accountable by our minute to minute actions and responses to one another and that our lives are so very interdependent upon one another and one life is very important in the cycle of life. I learned that Suicide is the unpardonable sin against humanity for life is so very reverent and should not be taken for granted. Suffering is needed for higher attainment, and that above all things we are here on earth to love and be loved. I learned that a simple smile, a kind word or acknowledgement can change the course of the life of a person.

That when I get back to wherever I'm going, I'm going to take life more serious. In other words, don't wake up in the morning and see a bird and take that poor little bird for granted. Before, when people would talk to me I would say, 'Yeah, okay'' But now when people talk to me, I listen to every word they say. I have more compassion for people. I don't take things for granted any more. This will sound like I'm contradicting myself. I used to hear what I wanted to hear. But now I listen to everything you say. And I don't look at a bird as a bird, I look at a bird as a human. But. Everything I see here now is not real any more. Nothing I see is really real. What I saw over there was real. This (life) is like an imitation, because I saw the 'real McCoy.' I do take things more seriously and listen more, but I don't take it for real. It's not as real as what I saw. But I still listen and watch the waitresses pour my coffee but it's not real. Every time I pick up a magazine or watch TV, I know it's material things, but it's not real.

Life is for living, humankind is the only species that feels god-like because of total misconceptions about Illusionary dominion in regards to our place in scheme of things.

Analisa D's NDE

I know one thing I need to work on is accepting people for where they are, since I have an uncanny ability now to get directly to the heart of any unresolved emotional issues and try to get them to work on them whether they are ready to or not. But if I feel that if I can help just one person to realize how wonderful and loved they truly are, then my life will be worth it. I am intensely grateful to God for letting me glimpse the afterlife and to know that we are all here on a mission, each and everyone of us. My daily life has also changed. I try to enjoy the little things in life--I listen to animals and plants and rocks, as well as try to do nice things for people and myself every day. Once i started working on and resolving my past history of abuse, the feeling in my heart that I had when I died the first time has come back (although it is not present all the time---but when it is there everything is heightened--I can perceive things that ordinarily would not be perceived. It is as though God's love is coursing through me and I have the ability to give so much love to people--it is wonderful!
