I have read many accounts of near death experiences.?

Question

Often people go down a tunnel towards a bright light where they are met by their deceased relatives and think they have reached heaven. Has anyone ever read an account where someone has visited hell?

Answer 1

Yeah. I have a book called "23 Minutes in Hell' by Bill Wiese, and it's about his near death experience in hell.

Answer 2

Not that I'm aware of; and probably if someone did they wouldn't talk about it very loudly!

I have had a near-death experience where I remember seeing something that looked like a grid of blue lights slowly spinning in space. It was kind of like a chessboard in a darkened room with diffuse blue LEDs at the corner of every square. After a little while, some cloudy shapes began appearing around it, then gained a swirly texture, and then -- snap -- the swirly shapes resolved into the hair of my friend over me, shouting "ARE YOU THERE?"

I consciously assembled the motions to say "I'm... here" and then my friends started shoving food into my mouth (I think it was an isolated hypoglycemic indident). So I wound up all right.

I don't take a supernatural view of my experience. I think the blue lights were me "seeing stars", that is my eyes were open and receiving stimuli but my brain was not conscious to interpret it. (However, my memory apparatus was still functioning so I can reflect on the experience now.) It seems clear to me that the progression from total abstractness to concrete reality was like my brain "rebooting", figuring out what's going on around me after failing. I can also see how those less educated in the nature of consciousness might interpret the experience as an astral-voyage sort of experience.

Answer 3

there is a stage right after you die where u dont still give in your ego completely and u still stick to the way of perceving of your ego and its culture or education, therefore u might see jesus if you are christian, mohammed if you are muslim, a relative or elder , krishna, odin u name it.the light you see is the core of the human spirit which u join into and when you are there u have all knowledge and no judgement but compasion and take the best decisions for your soul to do next. if you believe in reincarnarion you migh reincarnat into this world, or maybe your lesson is to be learned in another realm. if you dont believe in reincarnation u incarnate as well lol,,sorry,, and as a matter of fact ther is no christisn hell, it was just a way of control thru fear. Hell in scandinavian mythology is hellheim, the underworld right at the center of the earth where all the knowledge of this world is garded, that is why odin sacrificed himself to have a near to death experience so he could be given the knowledge of the runes.. but also the native american cultures have the same conception of the underworld,, u go down there thru a temazcal shower, where u get into something similar to a stome tipy and heat stones and put water with herbs every 5 min to evaporate
u are supposed to die into the earth womb, and then be born again when u get out

Answer 4

Yes, there is a video that TBN put out a few years ago and it had three people who died and visited hell or saw it and were revived. It was excruciating to even relay the store for them.There is a book called, A devine revelation of Hell in the Christian book stores also of a woman who visited both, heaven and hell and came back to tell it.

Answer 5

I have heard a few before. Not every story will be true. Everyone who has these experiences is semi-consious or unconsious. You have to be the judge if it is just a hallucination or if it is real.

To Nora Explora: There is a judgement right when people die. It decides if people go to hades(non-believers) or paradise(believers). After Jesus' second coming there is a second judgement (the white throne judgement) where people are cast into Hell or Heaven for all of eternity.

Answer 6

I've nearly died lots of times. There was one time that was a little different, it may have been Hell! I was sent to this 7/11 and the Slurpi machine wasn't working!!!!!! The counter Person ( They had horns and were wearing a really nice red velvet suit!! ) said the manager ( A Ms. Lucy Fur! ) would be happy to give me a rain check if I stuck around!!! Next thing I new I was being pulled out of the water by my Friends ( I owed them money!! )!! So..... maybe? Next time I almost die I'll ask.

Answer 7

Yes i have. You make your own hell though, through the knowledge that you have done wrong and you cant forgive yourself for it or think you are not worthy of seeing the light. People who have experienced this and come back tend to change their ways dramatically trying to convince themselves they have done more good than bad, but if they cant forgive themselves they will put themselves into their own hell without realising it. They can get out of it but its not easy. They have to be able to see what good they have done in the world and believe they are worthy or better but not an easy thing to do when you have surrounded yourself by depression and tortured souls.

Answer 8

I think , what you all see is the creation of anyones own mind. As all want to go to heaven only so they will see only 'heavenly' things. No one wants to go to hell so no one will get such an experience. It's just all creation of our sub-concious mind

I believe , heaven and hell only exist around you while you are alive and everyone gets a piece of each every now and then.

Answer 9

Studies show that people's experiences are along the lines of what they expect to experience. A religious person tends to see religious figures. An atheist doesn't. I'm sure some people who fear Hell have probably seen that, too. The brain just races through whatever it can grasp at when it is being oxygen starved.

Answer 10

There are such accounts, though they don't get as much "play". Even some who did not believe in hell or God, even they had such experiences...but understand, belief is powerful, and the belief in evil and hell is nearly universal...Christ said it is done as we believe. There is one Mind, and we all share in it. The belief of the race can influence our experiences even if we do not share those beliefs. But if one is strong enough in realizing there is no hell, then they will see clearly.
