I am really wondering if Life has a point at all. Have you had a sincere near death experience?What was it? All these raving so called religious nuts are not impressing me at all....

I haven't, but I have a brother that died, and they got him back. He says you definitely leave your body.H e had a electric line fall on him, A Dr. just happened to be driving by. My brother was working construction. They didn't get him back until they got to the hospital.He is now 58 He is now dying of ALS. If he went today he is at peace. Yes life does have a purpose, it is what you make it. Those raving religious nuts may take it other than you think. Sounds like you are going on what you think are religious nuts. You might try reading and going on what you get out of it. I am not a religious nut, but I do believe in God, and from my brother I do know you lesve your body. Like he says it doesn't matter until it is your time to die, you aren't going to. But there is another place you go. It just wasn't his time to go yet. When he goes this time there will be no bringing him back. He said there is a bright light, he just didn't go there, becuse it wasn't his time to go.

One must remember everything you feel, see and hear is biological, a chemical reaction occurring in your brain (this is a fact). This is hard to accept for some people because they feel it minimizes their experiences even though it really does not. It has been suggested that what someone feels, sees and hears during a death near experience is the body's biological reaction to death (the chemical reactions in the brain). I'm not saying we do not have souls (which I believe we have) that go elsewhere when we die. All I'm saying is when there is an action there is a reaction. You cut your hand, it hurts, you bleed this is familiar. Near death experiences are not familiar. With regards to where or what happens to the soul after death I have no idea - I'm still waiting for the great magician Houdini to come back and fill us all in - LOL
One thing is for certain one day we will all find out - so enjoy your time here!!

Three times in the last 30 years, the worse was in 1988. I had a streptococcus infection of my heart. My lungs were full of fluid and my heart had stopped. I was running a 105.5 temperature, which I continued to run for two weeks. I was on life support for six weeks. I had cooked parts of my brain.
As they were working on me, trying to get me to sign the permission to be put in life support, I saw my baby daughter, and thought that I couldn't die now, as she still needed me. That was 1998. She was born in 1978. My brain was shutting down and I no longer had access to recent memories.
I didn't see a bright light, or any of the other things I had heard people say they saw at the point of death. This is likely because I was raised to believe that if I died, I would sleep in the grave until the resurrection. Because I was taught to center my world around the family, I saw my daughter.
If I knew than what I knew later, that she did in my house while I was in the coma, I may have pictured her tied up in a closet. Days she spent with me, but at night was a long line of young men and parties. Anything of value, including my 14 year old, Australian born, Umbrella Cockatoo, was gone.
I will say that while in the coma, I had a good old time. Visited several planets, traveled in time, fought crime lords, and had way too much sex.

I had one without any of the usual stuff like the tunnel etc. but there definitely was something strange occuring. I experienced an expansion of my consciousness and an awareness of belonging to something far greater and more complex than the material world. I'm not saying it had some spiritual meaning but there is definitely something happening during NDEs that requires investigation. Interestingly the experience diminished when I felt uncomfortable with it although I felt if I'd wanted to explore it further I could have done.

Life does have a point you just have to find what the point is to your life. I believe it is different for everyone. Near death experiences cannot be proven i think it will just be your choice whether to believe in it or not. No one can prove where we go when we die. or if there even is a place to go.
I believe in god but don't like organized religion very much. Religion seems to be very good at telling us what god is, thinks, feels and says but really they don't know and cannot prove it.
I believe in god because our world is so complex. We have proof that our solar system had a start with the big bang and its continuous expansion. This is how i believe god started everything not genesis. But i don't know that either; I just let god be god and try to figure out the things he did. But i never try to put limits on what god can do. I just can't understand it all.
to me that means there is something behind everything. Think about chemistry, science, math all these things. We discovered them but they have always been there.
I have one quote to leave you with:
When asked if he believed god exits, he said: "With the ever complexity in everything and the way it works together............
How can there not be!!!!"

Julliet,
Never doubt that there is an afterlife. I was 8 years old when I died. I had been seriously ill and had a major operation, 5 days after surgery I contracted German measles and died. I remember it all. Be sure that each of our lives is intertwined with each other like the weave of a cloth. If you want to hear about my experience-email me!

When I was serving in Granada, I was shot 3 times in the same leg all within 30 seconds. When my medics were evacuating me, a mortar round hit us, and killed both my medics, and threw shrapnel at me. I thought for sure that day, that my life was all but over. But, 23 years later, minus scars, and a limp, I am living a good life.

I have. I didn't see a tunnel of light, lots of dead people or God. I found myself in a dimly lit cave sitting next to a wolf that I immediately recognized as Fenrir Wolf of Norse mythology. We said nothing -- there was no need. I reached out, placed my hand on his shoulder, and he wrapped his paw around my arm to return the gesture. That was it, that was the whole experience. Nothing glorious or spectacular, just a simple recognition of self, and an invitation to return whenever I liked.
Though I don't believe in Fenrir as a real being either, so take my experience for what it's worth to ya'.

Many years ago, my girlfriend was playing with a Ouija board and all of a sudden a very frightening presence appeared--ghastly in nature and it began tugging my girlfriend and I towards a very dread and dreary place. I was suffocating and was just about to blank out when I screamed the name of Jesus--unfortunately not in the most reverent manner. Surprisingly the thing dropped us both and ran with a clanking sound down the hallway. My head rose and every hair on my head stood still. It took us over six months to get over the ordeal. We finally broke up.

I've never had one but I have watched documentaries about it. If you would like to see them, here is a website with free videos.
One is call "Angels Miraculous Messengers" and there's "To Hell And Back". Very interesting films.
