Nde Experience Quotes

Time’s relativity is considered and abandoned, for the more revelatory experiences of starlight in strands, and pearly floors that span as far as absolute compassion...

It should also trouble NDE enthusiasts that only 10 to 20 percent of people who approach clinical death recall having any experience at all.13

I was surrounded by ripples and cascades of Light, rising and falling all around me, like immense waves in the middle of a huge ocean. I was a tiny girl-child, newborn.

An NDE gives a person a conscious experience of a dimension in which time and distance play no role, in which past and future can be glimpsed, where they feel complete and healed, and where they experience unlimited knowledge and unconditional love. The life changes that follow mainly spring from the insight that love and compassion for oneself, for others, and for nature are major prerequisites of life. Following an NDE people realize that everything and everyone is connected, that every thought has an effect on both oneself and others, and that our consciousness continues beyond physical death.

I found myself whirling around and falling down and down. My life memories were spinning around me, flashing like thousands of brilliant pictures with bright cascading colors like a thousand tiny kaleidoscopes...

Based on my NDE research, I conclude that our waking consciousness, which we experience as our daily consciousness, is only a complementary aspect of our whole and infinite nonlocal consciousness. This consciousness is based on indestructible and constantly evolving fields of information, where all knowledge, wisdom, and unconditional love are present and available, and these fields of consciousness are stored in a dimension beyond our concept of time and space with nonlocal and universal interconnectedness. One could call this our higher consciousness, divine consciousness, or cosmic consciousness. It’s the Akashic field to which conditions at the portals of death provide a special kind of access.

Eli’s theory on the causation of EOness was there, but Lyne had added his own notes on the circumstances and factors used to identify a potential EO. To near death experiences the professor had added a term Eli had heard him use before, Post-Traumatic Death Disorder, or the psychological instabilities resulting from the NDE, and another one that must be new, Rebirth Principle, or the patients' desire either to escape the life they had before, or to redefine themselves based on their ability.

The newfound insight pertains to what matters in everyday life: acceptance of and unconditional love for oneself (including acceptance of one’s dark side), others, and nature. It also pertains to insight into connectedness: everything and everybody is connected. Because of this sense of connectedness, some people describe the NDE as an experience of unity. They speak of a “cosmic law” in which everything they do to another person will ultimately have an effect on them too, and this applies to both love and affection and violence and aggression.

Isn't the human body a miracle

We've heard that you don't need a near-death experience to see Guardians. Just be more wide awake when you dream.

Because CPR resuscitates thousands today, it is now a commonly known “NDE” or near—death experience, that at the moment of death your whole life passes before you in an instant, with perfect clarity; and in this “life review” everything is seen truly, nothing is covered up. God is apparently sharing a foretaste of His own vision of our life with us, as He will do completely in Purgatory and / or Heaven; and repented and forgiven sins are part of this bitter yet sweet vision. St. Thomas had no CPR, and therefore few NDEs as his data, as we do, but he knew this anyway, if not inductively from data, then deductively from philosophy.

It takes One... to know One...

The Universe is constantly speaking to us, and as soon as we learn to understand that language, life blossoms like the most exquisite flower.

Life is good and people are good, even when sad things happen.

There is a beautiful place and here is a beautiful place too.

I am overwhelmed with NOT surprise!

A Typical Description of an NDE (Near Death Experience) I asked Ring to describe for me a typical NDE. He told me: The first thing is a tremendous feeling of peace, like nothing else you have experienced. Most people say like never before and never again. People say [that it is] the peace that passes all understanding. Then there is the sense of bodily separation and sometimes the sense of actually being out of the body. There are studies that show that people can sometimes report veridically what is in their physical environment, e.g., the lint on the light fixtures above themselves. They could see in a three-hundred-sixty-degree panoramic vision. They had extraordinary acuity. Often when they went further into the experience, they went to a dark place that is sometimes described as a tunnel, but not always. They usually feel that there is a sense of motion; that they are moving through something that is vast almost beyond imagination. And yet they feel they don't have the freedom to go anywhere. They feel as if they were being propelled. The extreme sense of motion often seems to be one of acceleration. Some describe that they have felt as if they were moving a the speed of light or faster. One NDEr described this as superluminal-moving beyond the speed of light with tremendous accelerated motion through a kind of cylindrical vortex, and then, in the distance, the person describes a dot of light that suddenly grows larger, more brilliant, and all encompassing. Ring continued: At this stage of the experience there is an encounter with light. It seems to be a living light exuding pure love, complete acceptance, and total understanding. The individual feels that he is made of that light, that he has always been there, and that he has stepped out of time and stepped into eternity. This feeling is accompanied by a sense of absolute perfection. Being out of time introduces another aspect of the experience: a sense of destiny. Ring explained: Then there is a panoramic light review in which you see everything that has ever happened to you in your life. Not [only] just what you have done but the effects of your actions on others, the effects of your thoughts on others. The whole thing is laid out for you without being judged but with a complete understanding of why things were the way they were in your life. The best metaphor I can suggest for this is: as if you were the character in someone else's novel. There would be one moment outside of time where you would have the perspective of the author of that novel, and you have a sense of omniscience about that character. Why he did the things that he did, why he had affected others, and so on. It is a profound moment outside of time when this realization occurs. You see the whole raison d'etre of your life. You may also see scenes or fragments of scenes of your life if you choose to go back to your body. In other words, it is not only that you have flashbacks but you also seem to have flash-forwards of events that will occur almost at though there is a kind of blueprint for your life. And it is up to you at that moment. You have free choice because it is often left to you whether to go back to your life or to leave it behind. The people we talk with of course always make the choice to go back or sometimes are sent back.

Mainstream theologians have

Try to draw an odor using crayons. You can’t even begin to try, no matter how many crayons you have in your box. That’s what it’s like describing NDEs with words. No matter how many words you use, you can’t really describe what an NDE is like. Lying awake in the dark, I tried forming sounds that would explain. Maybe music would do what speech could not. After all, no one can describe the beauty of certain sounds, sounds that move us to action or to tears. Yes, maybe music was the only form of communication that could explain the feelings of peace that never left.

The experience induced by psychoactive substances is often surprisingly similar to a near-death experience, especially in the case of DMT although, depending on the dosage, confusing or frightening perceptions may also occur. These substance-induced experiences include the following elements: a sense of detachment from the body, out-of-body experiences, lucid and accelerated thought, an encounter with a being of light, a sense of unconditional love, being in an unearthly environment, access to a profound wisdom, and wordless communication with immaterial beings. Sometimes the characteristic post-NDE transformation, including the loss of the fear of death, is also reported after administration of DMT or LSD.22 It is a new and surprising hypothesis that DMT, which occurs naturally in the body, could play an important role in the experience of an enhanced consciousness during near-death experiences. Perhaps DMT, its release triggered or stimulated by events in our consciousness, lifts our body’s natural inhibitions against experiencing an enhanced consciousness, as if it is able to block or disrupt the interface between consciousness and our body (and brain).

Like many people, I fear the pain and suffering that the dying often go through. It feels tragic to contemplate leaving behind my loved ones, special places, personal things, travel, work, and all the rich experiences of life in a body on Earth. But I have no fear concerning the kinds of mental experiences I might have during or after my death. After all, even if the NDE is an illusion – a temporary state of wonder and bliss followed by oblivion – it suggests that death will be a gloriously transcendent adventure.

As you’ll read in these stories, almost to a person these subjects were highly intelligent and educated people of science. But it wasn’t until after their NDE experience did they fully begin to understand the power of the super-conscious mind and its existence outside the human brain. The super-conscious mind is the source of all pure creativity. It is the super-conscious mind that is functioning at the creation of anything that is completely new in the universe. The super-conscious mind is tapped into and used by all the great inventors, writers, artists and composers of history on a regular basis, right up to the present day. Every great work of art or creativity is infused with super-conscious energy. Your super-conscious mind can access every piece of information stored in your conscious and subconscious minds. It can also access data and ideas outside your own experience, because it actually lies outside your human mind. This is why it is called a form of universal intelligence. You will often get ideas that come to you from far beyond you. It is not unusual for two people separated by thousands of miles of distance to come up with the same idea at the same time. When you are well-attuned to another person, such as your spouse or mate, you will often have thoughts identical to him or her at the same time during the day, and you will only find out that you had reached the same conclusion when you compare notes hours later. This is an example of your super-conscious mind at work. Sometimes when you are with other positive, goal-oriented people, your combined super-conscious minds will form a higher mind that you can all tap into. This is why, when you are involved in a conversation or listening to a lecture, ideas and inspirations will often leap into your mind that have no direct connection to what is being discussed. But those ideas and inspirations may be exactly what you need at that moment to move you forward on your journey. Because of your super-conscious powers, virtually anything that you can hold in your mind on a continuing basis, you can have. Emerson wrote, “A man becomes what he thinks about, most of the time.” Earl Nightingale wrote, “You become what you think about.” In the Bible it says that, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap.” And this law of sowing and reaping refers to mental states; to your thoughts. Of course, there is a potential danger in the use of your super-conscious mind. It is like fire - a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. If you use it improperly, and think negative, fearful thoughts, your super-conscious mind will accept your thoughts as a command and go to work to materialize them into your reality.

Napoleon Hill, perhaps the greatest researcher on success of the 20th century, called this power the “infinite intelligence.” After spending more than 20 years interviewing 500 of the most successful men and women alive in America at that time, he concluded that, without exception, their ability to tap into this higher form of infinite intelligence was the primary reason for their great success in life. Whatever you choose to call it, this power is as available to you at this very minute as it ever has been to anyone, anywhere. I refer to it as the “super-conscious mind,” the mind that is above and outside all other minds or intelligences.

NDE reports worldwide are striking in their similarity, regardless of a person’s culture, race, gender, sexuality, or religious beliefs. Another commonality is the permanent shift in attitudes and beliefs that follow an NDE. Changes that do not occur with those having reported clinical death who did not also experience an NDE. Most express being more accepting of others and much less tied to the material world, with 75% transitioning into new careers1 and 54% reporting major life changes with follow-up studies 20 years later showing virtually no falloff in the intensity they originally experienced.2

These examples, just like the NDE and UFO Contact Experience, lead one to the hypothesis that time is not linear. The NDE experience is the classic case for supporting the hypothesis that “time” might not even exist. Our consciousness is literally “outside” spacetime-- our human consciousness can go forward in time and back in time because time is not linear. As Chart # 3 illustrates, human consciousness can travel from our 4D physical reality to other higher multidimensional realms outside of spacetime. For example, many remote viewers discuss bringing their consciousness back to specific time periods and are able to observe various details of these specific time periods. Other literature on remote viewing also discusses how human consciousness can also travel to the future and literally “see” and describe the future. Stephan A. Schwartz, in his many writings and in his monthly “Schwartz Report” postings contains numerous articles on this

After going through an NDE, people reported a loss of fear of death as well as a greater appreciation of life. They also reported stronger feelings of self-acceptance and a greater concern and sense of caring for other people. They had less interest in material things for their own sake. Many tended to become more spiritual - though not necessarily more involved in organized religion.60 Almost all subjects who experienced an NDE found their lives transformed and a change in their attitudes and values, and in their inclination to love and to help others. Dr. Ring was convinced that these were absolutely authentic experiences and noted that since returning, many of them had occasion to think about ‘what might have been.' And their subsequent lives were powerful testimony to our common ability to live more deeply, more appreciatively, more lovingly, and more spiritually.

There had been a time in his life where he was young and innocent and believed in someone greater who was good and loved him. Howard wanted that feeling back that he had betrayed and thrown away.

I learned, after the NDE, that I have a choice all the time as to how I want to structure my experience, and I can follow any path I want. It doesn't matter once we cross over to the other side. It simply does not count for ANYTHING.... ever. So why choose a harsh life experience? We don't have to…We use far too much energy trying to live our earthly lives in a way we believe constitutes happiness, but it is such an illusion. I experienced the ease of living without money, status, time,

Suddenly, he felt an unbelievable peace that was not of this world. It was perfect and beautiful. Somehow Randy knew everything was going to be all right. The fear and worry left the room and Randy knew an angel would take him up and save him. An indescribable force made him turn and look at the door to the hallway. As soon as he looked at the door, it opened. Randy saw a long, white robed hand. The white was unearthly and glorious. He understood the power behind that hand and felt peace and safety from Death. A comforting voice belonged to the robed hand and it said, “Everything is alright, I was right here all along.

He sang the songs, read his Bible, listened to what the preacher said, and began praying to God for guidance on how to best live what he learned in church every Sunday. Randy began a true relationship with God,

Today, Angie understands how she got to a place where she wanted to commit suicide. “I didn’t get there because other people had done things to me as much as I had chosen not to overcome the things that are intentionally given to us. Problems, things we need to overcome so we can grow. “I still have trials that I need to overcome, but the important thing is to find happiness. Actually make happiness.

He states that the after–life is under the gaze of God who loves and cares about each of us and about where the universe itself and all the beings with it are ultimately going.

The angels gave Howard some advice: “Pray and confess your sins to God and give everything to Him. Then you will know in your heart that we are there and experience our love.

near death experience is what finally gave Randy the motivation and strength to turn his life around. Seeing what was waiting for him if he changed his ways was so beautiful and peaceful.

Just before the darkness took over, Mickey abruptly found himself standing in the presence of God. Even though he could not see God, he felt His presence standing beside him. He felt the mercy God offered and an instant understanding that he had eternity; that he would never truly die. He was standing in a river of “golden radiation” that was alive with a current of golden light. He felt the strength of the river going through him and says, “[At that moment], I’m more alive than anyone can imagine. This is the height of the experience of life… Somehow I knew this being was going to take care of me for the rest of my life.” He was filled with God’s love, majesty, and authority. The feeling of God’s nature was vibrating like a tuning fork.

She says, “I know it was a long time ago, but it doesn’t leave me; the feelings, the love, the worry, the despair. It’s all there.” Christine knows she was given a glimpse of hell, saying, “It never left me and that is what I know happened to me… I do know there is a hell and I do know there is a heaven and nothing will sway me otherwise.” See Christine Eastell tell her story.

She was told she would face some hardships when she returned but that she must not take her own life. She was told to spread the word that there is nothing to fear on the other side.

Death had authority over him because he did not have Jesus Christ in his heart to protect him. Randy knew he was going to hell and realized that he had to cry out seriously and sincerely to God. Randy began begging God to save him, asking Jesus to forgive him.

She avoids the evil plans set by the dark being by living her life in the light. This choice has improved her life measurably.

The amount of pain he experienced was enough for him to want to escape, but somewhere inside of him, he knew that it should be much worse. Bill felt that he would never get out of hell. Worse than the pain, this feeling of hopelessness consumed him. “Ten million years could go by,” Bill explains, “and I’m still there. And that’s the worst part, knowing there’s no one going to come rescue you.

George emerged from his experience a completely changed man. Prior to his NDE he was a staunch atheist. Afterwards, he firmly believed in God. There is only one God and that is the God that showed him wondrous stories and lessons. The primary lesson to George was that the only important work to be done in this world is to love. Love people, nature, animals and the creation itself. To show compassion and generosity.

George took a second doctorate in the psychology of religion. He then became an ordained priest in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The former Russian atheist spent the rest of his career as pastor at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Baytown, Texas until he passed away on October 12, 2004.

As soon as she knelt and began praying, she was instantly taken out of the pit and was placed in God’s presence. Christine felt a drastic change from the despair to the absolute pure love, joy, hope, and peace. Jesus was in front of her, surrounded by a bright light that obstructed his face.

Bill had to experience the hopelessness of hell to warn people of its eternal torment. Bill learned that God did not create hell for bad people. Instead, God withdrew his attributes from hell once it was created as a place for the devil and his fallen angels, not man. God’s attributes are everything good in life. Bill explains, “If you want nothing to do with God, there’s a place for you. People send themselves to hell by the rejection of the directions He gives.” Bill says that Jesus allowed him to experience a piece of His heart – the piece that breaks every time someone goes to hell. Bill watched Jesus cry as people fell to hell. Jesus died on the cross so man would not have to experience hell and He cried at the choices of the people that caused them to be sent to hell. He explains God gave people the free will to choose whether or not to follow Him and that he needs to explain to people the importance of following Him. One of the last things Jesus told Bill was, “Tell the people that I am coming very soon.

One message she received stood out. God has no religion. All of the ascended masters play a part in this. God is love, light, and energy. That is God. We are made in God’s image, but that refers to the energy and the light of love. We are made in His image but most of us do not turn our light on and love. While many NDE stories include a visit with God or Jesus Christ, Lisa felt a connection with every ascended master in history though she didn’t see any human forms except the angelic beings who were actually more light than form.

Mary Jo sensed that God was holding her. She felt a love from God that was not a human love. The love we experience on earth as humans pales in comparison.

Mary Jo still feels a sense of loneliness. Despite her interaction with God, she sometimes feels rejected by God because He returned her to earth. It’s also frustrating for her to be in the medical field and have people dispute her story as nothing more than a hallucination caused by the aneurysm. More than that, it’s the knowledge Mary Jo has that this is not the real world. Your body will end, but your spirit never ends. You’re never more alive than you are when you’re with God.

By contrast, research into the effects of psychoactive substances such as DMT has found some striking similarities with NDE elements. It is a new and surprising hypothesis that DMT, which occurs naturally in the body, could play an important role in the experience of an enhanced consciousness during NDE. Perhaps DMT lifts the body’s natural inhibitions against the experience of an enhanced consciousness.

But we know from the experience of Tony Cicoria and many others that a hallucinatory journey to the bright light and beyond, a full-blown NDE, can occur in twenty or thirty seconds, even though it seems to last much longer. Subjectively, during such a crisis, the very concept of time may seem variable or meaningless. The one most plausible hypothesis in Dr. Alexander’s case, then, is that his NDE occurred not during his coma, but as he was surfacing from the coma and his cortex was returning to full function. It is curious that he does not allow this obvious and natural explanation but instead insists on a supernatural one.

A near-death experience (NDE) Deep meditative practice A traumatic event or injury Yoga or qigong exercises Suffering, despair, or grief Encountering a guru or awakened teacher Childbirth An exercise found on the Internet Experimentation with psychedelics Devotional practice and prayer A visitation, vision, or mystical dream Breathing practices A sudden aha! moment A shamanic journey or treatment Through these moments of expanded awareness, we recognize there is something much bigger than “me,” that “I” is not limited to the boundary of personal consciousness

God explained that the blackness was the historical record of his life. It represented all of the years he had lived in darkness. God gave him the sliver of light as an opportunity to cry out to him. “In that space,” Mickey explains, “it changed my future, my destiny, my whole purpose of living.” Mickey understands that God loved him the whole time and was with him. Mickey now tells his story, saying that waiting until that desperate moment in the spiritual world to make a connection with God is terrifying and a huge risk. Instead, Mickey explains that people should accept God now and form a relationship with him in the physical world.

Faith is hard work. And it is often harder to keep. Yet, for those who have had an NDE, faith is no longer necessary — for them, it is fact. They know there is an afterlife because, as they will tell you, they have experienced that realm first-hand. Many return with stories of meeting a spiritual being — some say they encountered Jesus, some God, and some a pure loving entity. Ninety-six percent tell us that what they experienced was more “real than real.”2 And no one will ever convince them otherwise.

roadblocks that kept me from digging further into the NDE. One was not being able to find enough fact-driven data that could satisfy the skeptic in me. The second roadblock was a lack of faith that I could overcome the thought, “If something appears to be too good to be true, it usually is.

Carol Zaleski has commented at some length on the sanitizing of the NDE for the modern feel-good market. In her book 'Otherworld Journeys', she noted that accounts of near-death experiences from Medieval times were filled with "harsh judgement scenes, purgatorial torments and infernal terrors," which have disappeared from "today's upbeat near-death literature." She quipped that the modern being of light "communicates, but never excommunicates.
