Stumble It!Near Death Experiences (NDE)
How do you feel when you hear the word ‘Death’? If you have had someone close to you die then it will have a far greater meaning than to someone who hasn’t yet lost someone close.
‘Our brains control everything we do, everything we think and when it stops functioning that is it the end, we are dust.’ Our rational thinking cannot grasp the notion that we could possibly live past this biological mammal that we call human. Certain scientists say that it is the end of our individual existence once we die. It is impossible to carry on in any other way than the physical, it’s the end of a story.
On the other hand there is a growing number of scientists, physicists and doctors who think or should I say ‘know’ that we are more than just biological humans, we are more than just what you experience with the five senses. We need to look outside our senses, there is much more to us than that. As Pierre De Chardin wrote; “We are not Human Beings on a spiritual journey; we are Spiritual Beings on a Human journey”.
Since my fathers passing I have researched on the internet for some answers to this question, Do we exist after death? Well after a slow start I have found some incredible evidence that points to death as not being the end at all just a transformation on our journey of life. I am talking from a rational point of view, a skeptical point of view, you could say. I have been looking for proof and not just someones opinion. I don’t need anybody pushing a belief on me, I want facts. Having said this you do need an open mind because if you have a closed mind, the ever chattering mind, like some people, it is hard to see the sense in anything not physical let alone life beyond death. Hush that mind and open up to another existence.
I’m sure most have heard of near death experiences and some may have heard the skeptics try to explain what happens. I’m sure some believe the skeptics without even understanding what really happens. But have you really studied and digested the NDE stories and proof? www.ndefr.org is one of if not the largest data bases for NDE in the world and Dr Jeff Long, his wife Jody and many volunteers has done a wonderful job on the website with over 1600 accounts from over 20 different countries. He explains that it is medically inexplicable how all these near death accounts occur. People recall specific details after being clinically dead ,that is, no brain activity, no hearing, sight ,smell, heartbeat, absolutely nothing biological happening. These people recall their experiences with such clarity it is impossible, medically speaking, as they verify what is going on in the room whilst ‘dead’. People who are blind from birth who can’t even dream with vision have had these experiences and have SEEN what was going on in the hospital room. No scientist or skeptic has yet come up with any viable reason how this happens. Every reason they have given that could be a cause has been debunked. Actually as Dr Long has explained when he gives colleagues the evidence of what he has discovered the skeptism in them subsides. It may be the case of how can you debunk reality?
Check out this site and listen to one of Dr Long’s radio interviews, it may open up a whole new perspective on life for you. ‘You are your mind, not your brain’ seems to be the underlying theme here. YOU are the awareness, not the body you perceive to be you. The theme here is you don’t die at all, only your body does, you are life itself.
NDEs are a great way to begin to discover that there is more to us than meets the brain. If you want me to give you some more amazing things I have found, let me know. You could say, the Internet has opened up a porthole to me that before now, was unseen.
