Near-Death Experiences and what we've learned from them.


“In the presence of the light, the thoughts or words came into my mind: ‘Do you want to die?' And I replied that I didn't know since I knew nothing about death. Then the white light said, ‘Come over this line and you will learn.'… As I crossed the line, the most wonderful feelings came over me - feelings of peace, tranquility, a vanishing of all worries” (Raymond Moody Life After Life Pg 75).

For those who may not be familiar with this phenomenon, I extend a hearty welcome to a new world of reality based on empirical evidence dating thousands of years, as opposed to mere faith.

Approximately 15 million people in the United States, (2.2% of the population) and at least fifteen million more around the world have had a Near Death Experience.

This is the experience of dying (when the heart stops beating) or coming close to death, as in a coma, and consciously accessing one's situation in circumstances which by conventional knowledge, ought to be impossible.

Individuals from all continents and across diverse cultures have had a glimpse of what happens after we die.

The incredible thing about this is that major elements of these people's experiences are similar.(Moody 21).

But no two experiences are exactly the same. (Moody 23).

Americans, Africans, Indians will recount the same basic elements that are usually found in each of their NDEs.

This site promotes the idea that NDE experiences are indeed proof that life after death is a reality and is so for EVERYONE regardless of their beliefs, station in life, moral standing, culture or race.
