conform to external
definitions of who and
what we are." -
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

transition to a higher
state of consciousness
where you continue to
perceive, to understand,
to laugh, and to be able
to grow." -
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

told my children that
when I die, to release
balloons in the sky to
celebrate that I
graduated. For me, death
is a graduation." -

values of life can
originate from the
thought and study of
death." -

The Light, Pure Love.."

Juliet Nightingale,

"[The light] showed me

God stronger, He can, in
return, help you. He
told me your love has to
be unconditional. That
is the only rule
he really has." -
An Anonymous NDEr
"From the light we have
come and to the light we
all shall return." -
Josiane Antonette,
near-death experiencer
"After you die, you wear
what you are." -

near-death experience
into their own
pre-existing belief
system." -

there was more to learn,
answers to questions,

more, all pouring into
my mind. I remember
thinking, 'I knew that,
I know I did, where has
it all been?'" -

jaws of death, tooth
marks are to be
expected." -
Hal Story, near-death
experiencer
"It [suicide] is like
killing a plant or
flower before it's
full-grown or before
it's served its purpose
... The only thing that
I can think and
comprehend is that to
try and understand
reincarnation. That
somehow, instead of
evolving, you would
regress." -

famous last words of
Daniel Webster
"I knew that I was in a
state of hell, but this
was not the typical
"fire and brimstone"
hell that I had learned
about as a young child.
.... Men and women of
all ages, but no
children, were standing
or squatting or
wandering about ....
Some were mumbling to
themselves. .... They
were completely
self-absorbed, every one
of them too caught up in
his or her own misery to
engage in any mental or
emotional exchange." -
Angie Fenimore, a
near-death experiencer
"The "hell" that I
experienced was the
pain, anguish, hurt and
anger that I had caused
others, or that I
suffered as a result of
my actions/words to
others. "Hell" was what
I had created for myself
and my own soul through
turning my back on
unconditional love,
compassion and peace." -
Tina, a near-death
experiencer
"Hell is a state of
being we create by being
away from God until we
choose to return to him.
It is a state totally
devoid of love." -
Sandra Rogers,
near-death experiencer
"The only thing that
burns in hell is the
part of you that won't
let go of your life:
your memories, your
attachments. They burn
them all away, but
they're not punishing
you, they're freeing
your soul." –
Meister Eckhart
"I had a descent into
what you might call Hell
.... I did not see Satan
or evil. My descent into
Hell was a descent into
each person's customized
human misery, ignorance,
and darkness of
not-knowing. It seemed
like a miserable
eternity. But each of
the millions of souls
around me had a little
star of light always
available. But no one
seemed to pay attention
to it. They were so
consumed with their own
grief, trauma and
misery." -
Mellen-Thomas Benedict,
near-death experiencer
"We are going to link
up, hold hands, and walk
out of hell together." -
Mellen-Thomas Benedict,
near-death experiencer

6. Quotes about RELIGION |
"The guides taught us
that doctrine and creed
and race meant nothing.

children joined under
one God, and that the
only rule was God's true
law - do unto others as
you would have them do
unto you." -

has always been the
greatest responsibility
of religion." -

innumerable." -

the web he does to
himself." -

plunged into the dark
abyss of annihilation."

7. Quotes about SCIENCE |

knowledge of reality
starts from experience

evidence for survival
after death is so

the foot of Mount
Everest and insisting
that you cannot see the
mountain." -
Colin Wilson

explained the mind
fully." -
Wilder Penfield, MD

science fiction and much
more satisfying." -

shatter us and transform

reality, we must take

reality." -
John A. Wheeler
"A miracle is not
the breaking of physical
laws, but rather
represents laws which
are incomprehensible to
us." –

ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing
is a miracle. The other
is as though everything
is a miracle." -
Albert Einstein

death with an ensuing
nothingness can be

the quality of the
oneness in the
universe." -

for cautious optimism
that we may now be near
the end of the search
for the ultimate laws of
nature." -

the disturber of his
reason, and common
confounder of truth." -
Ben Jonson

true; for truth is
always strange, stranger
than fiction." -
George Byron
"I have yet to meet a
single person from our
culture, no matter what
his or her educational
background, IQ, and
specific training, who
had powerful
transpersonal
experiences and
continues to subscribe
to the materialistic
monism of Western
science." -
Albert Einstein
"A man of genius
makes no mistakes. His
errors are volitional

discovery." -

surpasses our
understanding." -

This Mind is the matrix

Prize-winning Father of
Quantum Theory
“Suddenly, from
behind the rim of the
moon, in long,
slow-motion moments of
immense majesty, there
emerges a sparkling blue
and white jewel, a
light, delicate,
sky-blue sphere laced
with slowly swirling
veils of white, rising
gradually like a small
pearl in a thick sea of
black mystery. It takes
more than a moment to
fully realize this is
Earth … home. My view of
our planet was a glimpse
of divinity.” -
Edgar Mitchell, Apollo
14 astronaut and
founder, Institute of
Noetic Sciences
"Reality is not
only stranger than we
suppose but stranger
than we can suppose." -

everything. What we
think, we become." -

approach to human

behavior means that men
and women have available
to them a spectrum of
knowing -a spectrum that
includes, at the very
least, the eye of flesh,
the eye of mind, and the
eye of spirit." -
Ken Wilber
"Everything you see has
its roots in the unseen
world. The forms may
change, yet the essence
remains the same. Every
wonderful sight will
vanish; every sweet word
will fade, But do not be
disheartened, The source
they come from is
eternal, growing,
Branching out, giving
new life and new joy.
Why do you weep? The
source is within you And
this whole world is
springing up from it." -
Jelauddin Rumi
"The truth dazzles
gradually, or else the
world would be blind." -
Emily Dickinson
"Who looks outside,
dreams; who looks
inside, awakes." -
Carl Jung

obviously inhabits a
separate physical body,
the laboratory data from
a hundred years of
parapsychology research
strongly indicate that
there is no separation
in consciousness." -
Russell Targ
"It gives me a deep
comforting sense that
‘things seen are
temporal and things
unseen are eternal.'" -

electrical currents and
'unseen waves' were
laughed at? The
knowledge about man is

play dice, but ... he
sometimes throws them
where they cannot be
seen." -

"In the light
of the near-death experience, death is
nothing more than the illusion of
separateness and finality, and those who
can believe in this vision of death,
like near-death experiencers themselves,
lose all fear of it, for how can you
fear that which does not exist?"
- Dr. Kenneth Ring
