Not everything exists how we see it just because someone in a lab coat thinks it's real. There are different perspectives to everything.

Gradually, and not without trepidation, the awareness came to me that I had gone too far and that I now had to accept the consequences of my own choices. I tried to fight sleep during that night, having a vague, inner-knowledge that "it" would happen, but not knowing what "it" would mean. And the moment I let go I had probably the most painful, most agonizing experience any human being has ever lived through. I literally experienced the thousand deaths of my thousand patients. It was a total physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual agony causing the inability to breath, a doubling up of my body, an agonizing physical pain and a total knowledge and awareness that I was out of reach of any human being. And I had to somehow make it through that night. 66

The secular world seems to always be at odds with the spiritual. When it comes to the existence of life after death, there's no exception. Scientists want you to trust in what they believe the evolutionary process of how the universe came to be. They base their findings on research, mathematical computations, and experimentation. In a recent study conducted by over thirty-five countries of people who've experienced NDEs, one in ten people reported experiencing this phenomenon. Interestingly, even people who weren't in imminent danger of losing their life experienced NDEs in much the same way as those facing life or death situations.People who don’t believe in God or other types of higher beings may conclude that death really is the end. Ideas about divine justice and not really having to die at all may be a solace to religious people, but for most atheists (people who believe there is no God or gods) and some agnostics (people who believe we cannot know whether God or gods exist) there isn’t enough evidence for believing in a life after death. Christians call this heaven or hell . Catholic Christians believe in purgatory, which is place for people who are not evil enough for eternal punishment in hell, but not good enough for heaven. In purgatory they are purified to be accepted into heaven. Ross says, ‘It’s a blessing to be able to sit at the bedside of a dying person.” Personally, I’m no amateur at this as I’ve been to my share of beloved bedsides, including, recently, my own husband’s. I’m not sure if the blessing is for the one leaving our world because the only blessing I felt was that he was no longer suffering, but the aftermath of me and my loss certainly doesn’t feel like a blessing. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. was a Swiss-born psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies and the author of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying (1969), where she first discussed what is now known as the Kübler-Ross model. In this work she proposed the now famous Five Stages of Grief as a pattern of adjustment. These five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. In general, individuals experience most of these stages, though in no defined sequence, after being faced with the reality of their impending death. The five stages have since been adopted by many as applying to the survivors of a loved one’s death, as well. This is why even little children die--they mastered the lessons they needed to learn in this life, sooner than others might.

I am enjoying myself turning around the inside of it. But my body slowing, more and more, the circumference getting smaller and lower. Then it suddenly hit me.. I’m slowing into what? I see it, this hole, this vortex, leading into the abyss, and I don’t know how to swim.. and that was the day I died. This is a small but powerful book. Anyone who has read Kubler-Ross' classic "On Death and Dying" needs to add this to the read list.The points about how we all have a spirit guide/guardian angel with us at all times and when we die, at a minimum that entity will help us to cross-over. Also, we will meet those we loved who have gone before--and the dying children of the author's experience never met anyone who had not died before them (ruling, out for her, wishful thinking because that would have met they saw there still living parents.) Science and medicine have accepted what it means to die in a clinical sense based on research and findings throughout the history of modern medicine. However, there’s been little room for looking at death from a spiritual perspective in a clinical setting. As a result, the possibility of life after death is rarely admitted to or discussed by most physicians and other medical professionals. form.

At least for an instance I thought I’m going to die, drowning in a dark sunken cave. It felt like a timeless moment, it was 1000 years long and a millisecond at the same time..
