The Forum

*** Peace Pilgrim's NDE
"Then I saw beings. They were very far away. One of them moved
toward me
very quickly. When she came close enough, I recognized
her. She looked much
younger than she had looked when she passed
over. I believe that at the time
of the beginning of the change called
death, those nearest and dearest come
to welcome us."
***
Guenter's NDE
"I wanted to go right into the
sun of our own solar system but
couldn't because of those barriers. There is
a correspondence
between God, the universe as a whole and man. Our universe
taken
collectively resembles one man."
***
Kathy Oros' NDE
"It was at this point I realized that I knew this place. I was HOME.
I
also realized that I no longer had a body - and the feeling of pure
JOY was
so wonderful because I was able to feel joy without
being bound in a body. I
can't explain it in words how this feeling
felt. When you are free of the
body feelings are felt in the fullest."
***
Albert Hints' NDE:
"Then, out
of nowhere I see a tiny pin prick of very bright white
light in the middle
of my field of (closed) vision. Slowly, over 5
seconds, the light gets
bigger in its circular, tunnel like nature.
It is tremendously pleasant and
literally "attractive" - even
SEDUCTIVE."
*** If you would like to have your NDE profiled on
the
near-death.com website, post it on the
Forum Bulletin
Board and I will
review it. Thanks.

What's new
=================================================
*** Major changes or additions to the near-death.com website:
***
NDE and the Afterlife website facelift This
website recently underwent a major overhaul which was sorely needed. Pages were
combined. Pages were grouped together. Same information but much more.
(01/04/03)
***
NDE Triggers NDEs are induced by: death,
dreams, stress, brain stimulation, deathbed visions, seizures, coma, after-death
visitations, surgery, drugs, gravity, meditation, hypnosis, relaxation, psychic
visions, OBEs, mirror gazing, rapid eye movement, alien abduction, sleep loss,
sensory deprivation, sexual orgasms, religious ecstasies, mental illness,
falling from great heights, and hyperstimulation. Whew. (01/04/03)
***
NDE Evidence Dead brains can't have
visions. NDErs see things outside of their bodies. People born blind can see.
Unbiased children have them. They change people forever. They have similarities.
They bring back scientific discoveries. NDErs are convinced it is real. People
can share an NDE . Some were dead for days. Some have seen the future. They have
been going on for thousands of years. (01/04/03)
***
Experts of the NDE These pages profile
the main NDE researchers in the field. You will find much new info here.
(01/04/03)
***
Directory
You can find the new links to the web pages of the NDErs and researchers that
have recently been updated and moved. Also, their email and website information
is available. This is part of the new renovation of my entire website.

NDE discussions
=================================================
***
If I Kill Myself, Will I go to Hell
or have to Reincarnate?
Is any suicide justifiable? Should people have
the right to live and
die as they please? Are there any karmic implications
involved?
Is there a way to kill myself without hurting others and preventing
the possibility of making a mistake and ending up a vegetable? Are
NDEs
involving suicide always hellish? Are NDErs told by the being
of light that
suicide is not a valid option?
=================================================
From the webmaster
=================================================
***
The NDE and Astrology
Do NDEs give us any insight into the reality or falsehood of
astrology?
If so, what are these insights? Is there a connection
between the NDE and
astrology? Are astrological concepts
supported by science? Are such concepts
supported by what
we know about NDEs? Is astrology supported by the Bible?
What
exactly is astrology and how does it affect our afterlife situation?

Best Evidence: An Investigative Reporter's Three-Year Quest to Uncover the Best
Scientific Evidence for ESP, Psychokinesis, Mental Healing, Ghosts and
Poltergeists, Dowsing, Mediums, Near Death Experiences, Reincarnation, and Other
Impossible Phenomena That Refuse to Disappear
by Michael L. Schmicker
"In Best Evidence, Michael Schmicker assembles scientific documentation for
experiences that many readers intuitively believe are real, despite mainstream
skepticism: ESP, psychokinesis, mental healing, ghosts and poltergeists,
dowsing, mediums, near-death experiences, reincarnation, and, as Schmicker puts
it, "Other Impossible Phenomena That Refuse to Disappear."
***
The Afterlife Codes: Searching for Evidence of the Survival of the Soul
by Susy Smith, Suzy Smith, Gary E. R. Schwartz, Linda G. S. Russek
"Susy
Smith's thirtieth book contains more of the profoundly inspirational knowledge
about life after death that she has received over the years from her mother and
her spirit colleagues. Through the Survival Research Foundation and the Susy
Smith Project at the University of Arizona, Smith hopes to scientifically prove
that consciousness survives after physical death. She relives her years of
awakening to a strong belief in life after death, and her psychic research
spanning four decades of growing knowledge and changing attitudes about this
controversial field.

As I Lay Dying: Meditations Upon Returning
by Richard John Neuhaus
"Neuhaus,
who found himself drifting in and out of consciousness after a
tumor
ruptured his intestines and the subsequent botched surgery caused internal
hemorrhaging. One night he was visited by two beings, which he calls angels, who
assured him that "Everything is ready now."
***
Though You Die: Death and Life Beyond Death
by Stanley Drake
"Death is
a certainty that affects us all, something that every human being must
eventually face. And more is known about human death than many people realize. A
growing number of people have experienced the brink of death and an "out-of-body
experience." Some feel they have in fact chosen to return to life after hours on
the operating table."
***
Death: The Great Mystery of Life
by Herbie Brennan
" Herbie Brennan
turns his attention to ghosts, mediums, out-of-body experiences (OOBE) and other
psychic phenomena which are clearly his chief interest more skeptical readers
may raise an eyebrow. Brennan has done a number of experiments using hypnosis to
trigger OOBE in subjects and the results of these, along with examples done by
others in the field, are used to support his arguable conclusion that "there is
a substantial body of evidence to suggest the second body everyone experiences
during an OOBE is something more than a subjective reality."

Life After Death (LAD) Discussion Forum
Lou Famoso has created this new
forum as another location for you

related topics. Posting your
NDE on as many forums as possible is a good way
to get your message
to as many people as possible. Check it out."
***
Renee Paraslow [
Pasarow], A Talk on Her Near-Death Experience
"It was the love of God,
and the love all things sacred and all things
beautiful and all things just,
and I could go on and on and on but this
was what propelled me on was my
connection and my affection for God."
***
Near-Death Experiences
in Thailand: Discussion of case histories
"Several studies have indicated that the phenomenologies of NDEs
is
culture-bound. The observation that the Being of Light can appear
differently according to a person's expectations of what God will be
like
supports the notion that a person's religion also plays a role. In
this
article, we will examine eleven NDEs collected in Thailand."
***
Sir Martin Brofman
in conversation....the Near Death Experience
That Changed his Life
"The being said that because my reason for wanting to return was
somebody outside myself, I would be allowed to return. Before I had
the
chance to express that I didn't really want to return, there was a
rapid,
confused movement, something happened,"
