I think in order to understand NDEs, the first thing is to understand 1) what part of the experience is 100% NDE, and: 2) what is integrated into our waking reality. I discussed this in the research paper “Dreams, NDE, and Reality.” Remember, this is a co-created experience with the person and the divine (Jeff’s theory and I concur). I enjoyed the latest NDE as the woman was reminded in her NDE that this world is an illusion. We are not our physical body at all. The research writing on “NDE and the Fourth Dimension” will show you the nature of the soul and help you conceptualize who (or what) we really are. The writing on the soul’s purpose gives you an idea of why we come to earth. With these three papers as a backdrop, you can understand that the Near Death Experience is tailored to each individual according to the needs and understandings of that particular individual in order to maximize soul growth. Since we are all so unique, it is not surprising that the NDE itself is very unique to each individual. However, there are stunning patterns in the NDE that make it uniquely reproducible and appropriate for scientific study.

If Morning Never Comes,
by Bill VandenBush, Old 101 Press, 13680 North Sandhill Drive, North Platte, NE 69101 (2003). Summary on the inside page, "A soldier's story of his near-death experience in Vietnam and the insights and lessons learned from his excursion into a dimension of enlightenment." One day about a year and a half ago, I met Bill in person. I was astounded by the warmth in his handshake and the spirit in his eyes. For a moment, time stopped; so I could truly appreciate what a gift Bill was to the human race. Spirit told him to speak, to tell the story. Remarkably, despite having no vocal chords, Bill does tell his story. Since that time, he's had
a big fan - me. I agree with Shannon Anderson when she writes on the back of the book, "Bill is a living breathing miracle. His compelling life story serves to illuminate the path between merely existing within the awareness of life's impermanence and a consciously chosen, awakened life, centered on the journey home to his truest self." And . . . don't forget to mention the near-death experience, which is the other aspect of integrating the reality of what he saw on the other side of life with our waking reality on earth. Spirit walks with him daily and he isn't just saying that in the book. You can tell when you talk with him that he's the genuine article. I would heartily recommend this book to everyone, as it hits a very human chord common
in
all of us. |

Diane G's NDE English expanded version 10/13/02. Suddenly, we burst into the light and a whole new reality was revealed to me, similar to the physical world, but, in this higher vibration, more colorful, more beautiful, more amazing. I saw plants, trees, mountains, lakes, animals, and shimmering crystal-like buildings, some very large and ornate. I saw beings moving about, light beings, going about their daily lives. They don't have physical bodies, but they are distinct fields of energy. They don't walk, they float. They have lives much like ours, but without the struggles and sorrows. They are artists, musicians, dancers, singers, inventors, builders, healers, creators of magical things... things they will manifest in their next lifetime in the physical universe. Great rafting NDE! A must read because of the vivid NDE descriptions and integration afterwards. Also visit her website at http://beyondtheveil.net |

NDE POEM
By Janet "Cookie" Baird, NDE#109 I've seen the Lord firsthand, & reached the Promised Land. A near-death tragedy turned into a message from The Lord for me. As I drew my last breath, the name ' Jesus ' I heard; untitled, yet simple, yet though out me I felt "THE WORD".....
Then
suddenly, I knew the "Pureness of Life", Aware of all Goodness-never
having know strife. |

FUNNY FACT

One of my pet projects is world peace. The best way that I can put it is through a news story that I heard. At Mother Theresa’s funeral a reported asked a Muslim why he was standing in line to pay his respects. He replied, “Mother Theresa had a goodness that transcends religion.” That is what I feel the NDE and the world outreach with translations can help to do – build a bridge of love and peace between all
peoples. I’d like to have a group dedicated to that end. - Jody
WORLD
PEACE
By Dr. Kenneth Ring
One of the founding
fathers of NDE research
In keeping with NDE truths NDERF Goes Global
"It may seem farfetched that near-death studies could make a direct contribution to world peace, but many researchers and scholars have been impressed deeply by the consistent pattern of value changes that near-death survivors express and manifest following a NDE. Recurrently and reliably, they speak of the values of unconditional love and acceptance, human brotherhood, compassion and tolerance, and tend to endorse a spiritual or religious point of view that ignores racial, national, or cultural distinctions.
. . .
It is probably naive to think that the implications of near-death studies could prevent . . . cataclysm, but it seems reasonable to argue that the spread of this information and the values it represents can only serve to lower its likelihood. In any case, the field of near-death studies appears to have a timely and possibly critical role to play in world affairs."

On one of these occasions,
I guess I lost consciousness when I got out of bed and stood up-all I
know is that suddenly I was in a very long, dark tunnel moving very
rapidly toward a very large, bright light that radiated love. I could
hear beautiful, high pitched wind chimes, and I could hear angels
singing; legions of angels. They were singing the Doxology. The light
was Christ, and I was fully aware of that at the time. I experienced a
life review in the tunnel which showed me experiences in my life where I
had expressed unconditional love and giving toward others-and they were
things I had done that were seemingly so small and inconsequential at
the time that they were forgotten.

Then I was suddenly near
the roof of my room gazing down on my body with total disregard. There
was no fear, pain, or feelings to speak of at all, except a sort of
surprise or wonder. Then I recognized me. But I remember not really
caring one way or the other. In the next instant I was somewhere
entirely different. I seemed to be suspended in space if you can
imagine... with my back against a wall... or actually a perfectly
parallel plane that went everywhere.

Then I noticed that
surrounding the doctors were more people. They were extraordinarily
tall. They were wearing white, and they were very "shiny;" they
emanated light. Their faces were kind, and loving. I perceived that
they were not beings from this realm; I knew that they were watching
over me. I believe that they appeared to me (or I perceived them)
in a form that I would understand at the time. They seemed to be
"angels." My family was religious and an angel was a type of being I
would understand. I do not know if the experienced happened today if I
would perceive them in the same form.

My sister and I got real
quiet. It seemed like I was going to sleep. I couldn't hear my
sister any more. Then as I felt like I was going to go to sleep I
saw a light, like a light from a candle. Then there was a lady there,
she put her finger to her lips and said, "shhh child it will be
alright." She had long brown hair and soft eyes. When i started to
cry she said "no, you must be still, your mommy is coming." Just
about that time the door opened, I knew it was opened because i could
feel a cool wind on my face.

I went over to release the
line so they could right it again, but I got caught in some lines and
the boat kept going over. I couldn't get loose and I couldn't hold my
breath any longer so I just gave up. All of a sudden a peace came over
me and I was outside the boat looking towards my son.

I looked around, noticing
for the first time the gray, swirling mist, that I've come to call love.
Such incredible love exists, more than we can imagine. I wanted to see

"Your baby needs you."

I just felt very light and
peaceful ....... and curious. I felt as if I was in a recliner heading
forward as if the grade was similar to a plane taking off. I wasn't
going straight up but I was going up and forward. It was kind of dark,
but not totally black. It was more like a gray misty color, rather like
a fog. At the same time I felt as if I wasn't in the room anymore and
was traveling along to somewhere and alone, a noise was part of the
sensation. I couldn't hear the doctor or nurse talk or see them. It
was just me. As I was going to say, at the exact same time I left and
started to move through what was like space, a very strange noise was
there. It was like a ZHOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM. It seemed to last a long
time in a way, but I know it really didn't. I suddenly saw something I
recognized......a circle of white clouds with a circle of blue sky in
the middle.

My son
went into insulin shock while sleeping and woke up trying to speak but
he couldn't. He said afterward, he was invisible and could see himself
and me and my wife as we tried to help him. This has happened twice
while he was sleeping and he always says the same thing. That he could
see himself. Well the first time he said he saw a monster barking at
him but that was exactly the sound he was making during his fit. My son
is very closed mouth about what happened to him and will not describe it
any further than to say he goes invisible. When I asked him if he could
see himself he said "yes."

the first part of living. i than began to plead to stay that i like it here

With a flash of the most
intense white light, I found myself standing before the Source. I hesitate
to explain my experience at this point, as it seems to me that that part of
an NDE is very individual and personal. I will suffice to say that the
Source was a geodesic orb which emanated all I sensed, felt, etc. and that
there were other entities present. I was told to turn and look at what I
was leaving and where I was going, in order to make a good decision. In
other words, is this what I really wanted, or did I just want the pain to
end?

I remember hearing
voices and seeing a crowd of people huddled around my passed out body. I
might have been thinking something along the lines of "oh crap" during the
experience, but it's been awhile and my memory is fuzzy. I do remember
after the even attempting to remember details, but having trouble focusing
onto anything real specific (during the OBE, I wasn't thinking about looking
for details; not even sure if I was thinking at all, rather than merely
experiencing). I then finally came-to (i.e., woke up from what I guess was
an unconscious state - don't remember if there was still a crowd of people
around me), and a friend helped me to the nurses office.

I did not want to die,
but I knew I could not bear the pain anymore. Then it seemed I was
transported somewhere else - I don't remember any white lights or tunnels,
nothing like that. But there was a great meadow of green grass and flowers,
flowers in pink and purple and yellow. My mother was to the right near a
bench, something like a park bench where one might sit to rest, and she was
planting large plants beside the bench at the end of it. I think the flowers
were orange tiger lilies. I tried to get her to look at me, but she would
not. I called her and called her, and she paid no attention to me
whatsoever. It was as if she could not see me or hear me. That made me feel
so peaceful for some reason. So I moved on.
This is an
interesting account in that it looks like a NDE, but may have some
additional integrated remembrances that are pain-related.

Then I
saw something like a fantasy, I looked behind and I saw the lamb of the
street and I was going to it very quickly. I entered the car quickly, then
the story began, I felt that I am so tall, with no weight, out of control. I
saw everything of my past life, since my birth. I saw it as if I watch it,
then everything disappeared. I was walking, but the step in a width of 10
steps. When I turn my face to left or right, I see persons; some of
them observing me, the other were looking at me as if they are waiting
something from me. Others looking at each other, I saw many people
whom I mistreated them or hurt them, they were looking at me as if they want
to take revenge. Then I stopped without my wish, as if there is a sign
of compulsory (STOP), though there is a long road or other world in front of
me.

I found myself in an ethereal place of light. Safe. Not warm, nor cold,
just safe. I am not in my body and down there in a little circle in this
place but not of this place there is the world with color and my mother and
the doctor faces are in the little circle, looking at me, so worried. I
feel immense love and compassion for my Mother who suffers and looks like
she is losing me. The doctor looks as if in pain. Even though I am above
them I can see their faces looking at me. I absolutely know what is going
on.

I went to the gate which my cousin pointed to me, it was very big
gate with a big high beautiful door, with glittering golden hands like the big
gates in the historical films but more beautiful. There were two huge guards,
they were holding spears, the spears are crossed, the legs of
those guards are so huge like a building size, I was so small running between
their legs trying to enter to be with my cousin. I heard the door opened
dragging across the ground with a high sound. I tried to enter, but they
forbade me,
by putting the crossing spears in front of my face.

The Near-Death Experience (NDE) may be defined as 
England is old and small and the
local folks started running out of places to bury people. So in the
1500's they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a
"bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of
25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they
realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would
tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and
up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit
out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the
bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered
a "dead ringer."
