					The Near Death Experience - NDE
The NDE is an account of what people experience while unconscious or clinically dead after an accident or
serious illness. Most NDEs follow a similar pattern of events regardless of the persons age, sex, culture or
religious belief.

       Feelings of peace:

              The person feels no pain, everything seems quiet and peaceful. They usually have a sense of
              well-being and great joy.

       Leaving the body:

              If death was not expected the person may continue to concentrate on what they were doing
              before death - running across the road after being killed by a car fighting after being killed in
              a battle.

              The person can see what is going on and is mentally alert. They may try to talk to those
              around the body but they won't be heard. They have a non-material energy-body that has no
              disabilities and can move freely through objects and people.

       Bright light:

              They move rapidly toward a bright light which is at the end of a tunnel or dark area.

       Entering the light:

              The person becomes surrounded by bright beautiful light. They may meet other beings with
              energy-bodies. Feelings of love and companionship as these beings communicate.

       Life review:

              The past life is replayed very quickly. No-one judges but the person can feel guilty or
              embarrassed about things they have done. Things that were done to help others are seen as

       Going back:

              After deciding, or being told, to go back because of things that still need to be done the
              person wakes up in their body.

       Life changes:

              NDEs have a powerful positive effect on a persons life. In general NDEers have a new sense
              of purpose and better self-esteem.

              They no longer fear death; they want to be more open and loving to others; they want to know
              more about the universe; they want to develop their skills and talents for the benefit of others.

  7. Will people become more religious so that they can have eternal life and go to heaven?
