near death experience..?

Question

some equate parts of the near death experience (seeing a white light) due to low oyxgen.

just curious as to your thoughts on near death experience. do believe that it;'s changes within the body that causes one to say, see a bright, white light, the life review, and 'seeing one's body from up above', or do you truly feel that it's something of the spiritual realm?

Answer 1

The reason is that your mind is not a part of your physical body. It is a part of your spiritual body. When the physical body dies it returns to dust or ashes which ever way it is disposed of and the mind or soul continues on. It is the Soul that is made in the image of God not our physical bodies. That Soul when it decides to come back into another life brings with it the knowledge and experiences of all it's past lives. This is the reason people have different talents, personalities and abilities. It is also the reason for de ja vu. De ja vu is a glimspe from the mind of a past experience the Soul has had. We all reincarnate whether you want to believe it or not and we choose where we go. You do not always remain in your present race. That's how we are all interconnected. The American Indians, Eskimo's, African are the entry level for Souls who have never lived a life on the earthplane. In other words they are the play centre level. As we learn our lessons we move up to the next level. It all sounds simple but I can assure you it is not. It takes a great depth of spiritual knowledge to get your head around this to start with.

The immortal soul of the individual can only leave the body once... and it is a one way trip... no coming back... and no hanging around..... I have had what is refered to as an "out of body experience" It was very vivid and seemed extreamly real to me at the time... but it was just a fuction..or missfunction...of the brain.... I was in fact near the point of end. And as I was not of The Church at the time I would have been truly "dead" had my soul left the body... what I experienced was not "leaving the body"

Answer 3

The range of human experience is very wide and diverse, so I don't feel like I can just dismiss any experience I haven't had myself.

But I know for a fact nobody has ever 'died' and come back. Nobody has ever returned from brain death. It's possible for your heart to stop beating for a short time, and for you to stop breathing, but you aren't exactly -dead-. The brain does strange things in this situation. But I don't believe you are going to 'heaven' and coming back. This is a physical/psychological phenomenon, not a spiritual one. When your brain stops making brainwaves, then you are DEAD.

People have tried to confuse this issue more for political reasons than having to do with psychology or even religion. Which I think is a shame.

My sweetie, the woman who makes my life endurable, is alive today only because of a kidney transplant. Thousands of people die every year waiting for organ transplants. And I feel that NDE stories keep people from signing those organ donor cards because they are thinking they might be coming back. One organ donor can provide a new lease on life for as many as 20 people!

So I think it's irresponsible for the people who repeat these stories to put them in a spiritual tone, or to suggest that these people actually were -dead- and came back from 'heaven'.

Answer 4

It is something that is spiritual for sure. The soul leaves the body and is brought back in. We are more then a body. I have seen those that have passed over. I have felt my soul lift from my body. We are spirits we are energy. Once we pass over our spirits are free to continue work on another realm. I have felt my spirit lift. When my mother was dying she sat up and spoke she had parkinsons and was totally frozen yet she said she talked to us about the light, reached out her arms to those only she could see on the other side then layed down and within an hour she had passed over to the other side.

Answer 5

OBEs have been reproduced:

The typical NDE experiences are repeated by people with hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the body/brain) either from low oxygen levels or from high Gs pulling the blood away from the brain. Often ther people are in no real risk of death, so they can not be having a near-death experience.

Answer 6

It happened to me when I was dying of viral meningitis, I floated around the ward and saw the AIDS victims and the two other guys who had what I had, and died, I saw the nurses coffee station, I saw a dying woman ask for a cigarette and be told this was a no smoking ward, I thought I was talking when I said she's dead anyway give her a whole pack. I went back to my bed and called for a nurse and asked to be untethered, I wnet and got myself a cup of coffee. I don't believ in God or bright lights, religious people have always been mean, gossipy people. Church was where you went and people turned around to see what you were wearing. Ministers drove Cadillacs. There were poor people in my neighborhood, blacks and puerto ricans, but the missionaries didn't invite them to church, or offer them the things they obviosly needed. They basically said they should get jobs and God helps them who help themselves, and them give gift boxes to people who didn't need them. I can only speak for the two churches I belonged to RC and LDS.

Now Caucasians are becoming a minority and all churches have different races and cultures represented in them.

I had no expectation of seeing God so I saw my salvation a cup of coffee and either get up or die.

That answer you question?

Answer 7

It is all inter-related. We are body, mind, spirit while we live this life on earth of lessons. The spirit and mind are eternal. They continue after death. The body and spirit is joined by a silver cord that breaks at death. Out of body experiences are about the spirit's ability to travel around while the cord is still connected. The mind also travels with the spirit to record the experience in consciousness.

Answer 8

you gotta understand, that the medical community will want to save face, by saying, it is due to lack of oxygen, causing the brain to think it is seeing that light.

Most people say, they see the light, after they have left the body, so, I think, It is the result of having alerady leveing the body, the spiriyual aspect causes the light.

Answer 9

i am a medium, and before i knew i was i had a real bad accident which i only had a 20% chance of survival, i had the outerbody experience and looked down on myself it didnt last to long and i wont go into detail but yes it really does happen and there is a bright light

Answer 10

It's not something in the "spiritual" realm.
If they've been "brought back", then they were never truly dead. You can have no heartbeat, and be declared dead, but you're not truly dead until the brain dies. As long as the brain is alive, you can dream, process information, and hallucinate. If the brain dies, then that's it. They can't bring you back. It’s misleading to say that someone "died" if they've been brought back, because they were never really dead.
