I comepletely agree with you about older people passing, i just thought when someone said that when people die most dont want to come back it was an odd thing to say :)

From some of the Near Death Experiences I have read, it seems that some people were well and truly dead for a few days, yet they returned to life.

Because with ND the cord, what's know as the silver cord, is not broken. It's only when it is, that actual death/passing on has taken place :)

It's my understanding that we leave this life when we are done with what we came here to accomplish... not a moment before and not a moment after! If people experience NDE's and come back to life, it's because that experience (the NDE) was part of what they were supposed to experience in order to learn and grow, but because it was not yet their time to leave this world to take up residency in the spiritual realms until and unless they chose reincarnation and enter in again, they were returned to the earthly body they inhabited here until it IS their time to leave. The spirit animates the flesh, not visa/versa, so re-entry of the spirit into the body vehicle brings it back to life. I personally have never heard of anyone being clinically dead for days and coming back. My good friend Dannion Brinkley was pronounced dead for some 35 minutes before he was sent back and slam-dunked into his body again, but even that length of time is considered miraculous, because normally there will be brain damage when the brain goes without oxygen for that length of time. I know of no one who has ever come back to life from a body that had actually expired (remember there are some conditions that mimic death and which require a high state of medical expertise/technology to recognize!) and remained in that state of death for days. Where are you getting your facts on that? I assume this is documented.

I remember reading somewhere on the internet about a guy who was 'dead' for 2 days and came back to life. Interesting -- but there must be a cut off point in which you can't return if the body reaches a certain stage of decay etc.

Because, as I said .... almost everyone (with VERY few exceptions) who have had a near death experience have NOT wanted to return.

An NDE means a NearDeathExperience. These are people who DO return. There have been hundreds of thousands of cases, and we know about them due to the meticulous research done by people like Raymond Moody, Elisabeth Kubler Ross and Dr. Melvyn Morse, among others.

Death is not the end of life, it is a return home. There is an expression that "when we are born the angels weep, and when we die the angels rejoice." We don't incarnate into physical for a vacation or for fun, but to work. Sure, we might have fun while we're here, just as you might have had fun at school sometimes, but your main objective when you went to school was to work. Most people wouldn't want to return to school once they left, and that's how we feel when we leave the physical - thank goodness that's over with and I can be free again without being weighed down by a physical body and all the traumas and worries of life in the physical realms.

I think the problem is that many people get the whole living/dying thing back to front. Believing that life is all there is, they feel sorry for those who die because they see it as the end of life. But we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience now and then .... we are SPIRITUAL beings having a PHYSICAL experience now and then.

To Whispers: the cord is the etheric equivalent of the umbilical cord we have attached when we're born, The silver cord attaches us to the earth. Most people can't see it (although some can!) but once that cord is severed, so is our life on earth. There aint no going back then!

Ahh i think i took what you said slightly too literally.

I feel sorry for those who die mainly because alot of the time death isnt a pleasant experience. I think many people would want a nice peaceful death when they fall asleep and they just dont wake up, however alot of the time its not like that.

I just cant understand why someone wouldnt want to come back - obviously if they had a bad physical life or they were ready to die i see why they wouldnt want too but otherwise i dont understand why people wouldnt want to. Ive met lots of people who have had a NDE and all have said how glad they are to be alive.
