What are Near Death Experiences (NDEs)? 😇

 

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) are profound personal experiences associated with dying and coming back to life, which researchers describe as having similar characteristics, including seeing bright lights, having Out-Of-Body Experiences (OBEs), and even undergoing ‘life reviews’. They are triggered during singular life-threatening episodes. There are some mind-blowing accounts of NDEs which this post discusses. This also links with our posts on life after death (that discusses common questions such as What happens? Where do we go? Do we see loved ones?) and past life memories (especially those from children who had no way of knowing the information provided), as well as interesting work from some mediums/psychics.

Near Death Experience Stories and Examples ✨

 

NDEs have become more frequent since developments in technology giving the ability to revive people from cardiac arrests and other critical conditions. In summary, people share similar experiences. These include:

• Experiencing ‘bed visits’ by passed loved ones when ill in hospital
• Floating out of the body in an Out-Of-Body Experience (OBE)
• Whilst in an OBE, recalling details that happened in the hospital (the same room and other rooms) when they were meant to be dead
• Seeing a bright white light/a tunnel of light/a tunnel with light at the end
• Flying through space past stars and orbs
• Being with others that died at the same time of the incident that caused the NDE
• Having a life review, but they are the only judge of their life (not a judgmental figure or God) and experience how they made others feel, sometimes said to be learning with compassion
• Being greeted with great love and excitement from passed loved ones (that look in their prime, often in their 30’s), the same way we are when we are born into this world, in a ‘heavenly realm’ that looks similar to Earth, but more vivid (e.g. a wider spectrum/shades of colours) and no physical restrictions (e.g. nothing ages or dies, things that can’t be done here can be done there etc.)
• Being reunited with pets
• Meeting people that they have never seen before, but seeing them in family photos later in life, after the NDE
• Seeing people that they thought were still alive, but finding out after NDE that they were dead
• Given messages to say to loved ones – a great example of this is an NDE where someone was told to tell another person who was still alive ‘sorry for ruining the car’, which she knew nothing about, but the other person knew exactly what was meant by this and the person in the NDE did ruin the car in a crash that killed them
• A profound sense of peace and unconditional, infinite love
• Feeling connected to all and everyone, including God
• A knowing of all including that life is to be lived to gain experiences, fulfil purpose, and to be enjoyed (some have explained this as ‘we are manifesting god wanting to play’)
• Learning valuable lessons to give meaning, purpose, and to live life to the full

It is also worth reflecting on the Double Slit Experiment that links to the Holographic Universe theory. This experiment shows that the act of consciousness observing matter affects the way that matter behaves. As such, leading physicists in the World Science Festival, as well as Elon Musk and former NASA physicist Tom Campbell believe that consciousness is the infinite source and reality is a simulation.

An interesting counter-take of this is shared by David Icke. He says that the initial afterlife visions perceived could still be part of this same simulation we experience in life and that we are being manipulated to go to ‘the light’ to encourage reincarnation, but we should ascend this reality to a higher dimension. He also believes that any loved ones that we initially perceive are just projections taken from the Akashic Records (a record stored in another dimension of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred) to encourage us to go towards the light and reincarnation. He doesn’t say that loved ones aren’t waiting for us, but that initial visuals could be manipulations and not true. He touches on this in the 10th video below.

This links with the Native American beliefs to not walk straight into the “dazzling bright light”, but to orientate yourself and wait for the right, “warmer light”. Across several Native American traditions, the general theme is, “The soul must not rush toward the first bright phenomenon it sees.” The first “light” may represent confusion, the shock of leaving the body, trickster forces, the land of the dead who are not at peace, the realm of ghosts, or simply the initial disorientation of the spirit leaving the physical world. Instead, the newly departed must wait for true guides (ancestors, spirits, helpers), orient toward the correct direction or trail, choose the proper kind of light (gentle, warm, ancestral) over a blinding or chaotic one. This is conceptually very close to Tibetan, Egyptian, and even some Gnostic afterlife teachings about deceptive or confusing lights. Also, in the Buddhist Saṃsāra reincarnation wheel, it is said one has to ‘be enlightened’ to detach from it.

In addition, in the ‘Emerald Tablets‘, Thoth describes that in the regions reached after death, there exist “shadows” or “dark brothers” who travel only in straight, linear paths. He warns that these beings seek to bind or trap the unprepared soul (this potentially links to David Icke’s findings to not walk towards the initial bright light observed after death, as he believes it is a reincarnation trap). He then instructs that by moving in a curved or circular path, one can break free of their line of influence, since the dark beings cannot follow motion that is not straight. He adds that curved motion aligns with the geometry of higher realms, while straight-line movement is characteristic of lower astral entities. He doesn’t say that loved ones aren’t waiting for us, but that initial visuals could be manipulations and not true.

Near Death Experience Books and Videos 🎥

 

There are many renowned NDE books, including Eben Alexander’s near death experience book ‘Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife‘ and Raymond Moody’s ‘Life After Life: A Groundbreaking Exploration of Near-Death Experiences and the Transformative Insights into the Afterlife, Backed by Scientific Study and Personal Testimonies‘. 

For videos on NDEs, see the near death experiences shared on YouTube below. These include the research, documentaries, experiences of cardiac surgeons, neurosurgeons, nurses and accounts from those that have experienced NDEs themselves (including near death experiences of heaven, seeing past loved ones, angels and God).

The 5th video down of neurosurgeon Eben Alexander (a self proclaimed sceptic until his illness) is profound in that the disease he had shut off all parts of the brain (including the neocortex which is responsible for sensation, action, cognition, and consciousness). Another profound part of his experience is the girl he met. He had never met her before, but later in life he connected with his real parents and there was a picture of the girl in the house. They explained that that was his sister who passed away.

Bill Letson‘s NDE video (the 6th video below) is also a popular watch, accumulating a high number of views. He mentions a number of things including, “Flying through space past orbs,  feeling everything a human wants to feel, with no negatives feelings such as anger, like a cosmic orgasm!”. Also, feeling back where he belonged and that, “All passed loved ones are fine, they are just a bit further down the path than you in the afterlife dimension.” He also discusses life purpose, saying that we are all here for a reason; to live life to the fullest and learn/grow as a soul. He says, “Make those on the other side proud of what you do here.”

The 8th video of Simon Brown on We Don’t Die Radio touches on a number of NDEs and a lot of profound OBEs. This includes a hospital patient that was pronounced dead and when brought with resuscitation, explained in detail a pair of trainers on the roof of the hospital that were completely out of sight, including markings on them where they were worn away and how they were placed. A nurse went up to check and found them as described.

In video 9, Jeff Olsen tells of his NDE that was caused by a car crash. In the crash were also his wife and two kids. His wife and one of his children passed away from the car crash and he was with them in his NDE, but he chose to come back to father the child that was still alive.

Video 11 is an interview with Professor Dean Brinson, who died at the hospital and was transported by his spiritual mentor to the Afterlife. He discovered the astral and causal levels of Heaven, his past lives, and the truth about the other side. He was taught about karma and how one can move through these levels. Professor Brinson is also an advocator in diet (he doesn’t eat meat) and how all energy is connected. He has been eating plant-based for decades.

NDEs are compared with other outer-body experiences such as those in DMT experiences. In the video below, Holden Lee says he smoked DMT and met the same entity from his Near Death Experience (NDE), suggesting that this is another realm that isn’t just experienced through DMT (more can be read on this here).

For another perspective, in the video below a doctor discusses what he has observed people seeing as they pass away:
