This was so simple and clear and honest - I loved listening to this woman.
I hope you do, too.:smile:

Oh yeah, thank you for sharing!

Excellent.Thanks Miss Hepburn,You can tell she's sincere.

Having had a mind-boggling, life-transforming NDE myself many years ago, I have since studied numerous instances of near death experiences. In many cases, the experiences were consistent with the person's belief system.
After listening to just the beginning of the video, I immediately sensed that this was an NDE typical of a Christian. I checked out the speaker's bio and my projection of her belief system turned out to be quite accurate. This did not surprise me. The rest of the video confirmed that.

In any case, her experience was interesting and what stood out most was that the world is PERFECT as it is.
The life review and other aspects of the experience were typical of many NDEs.
Thanks for sharing.

the experiences were consistent with the person's belief system.
This is so true.

We are in complete agreement on that point. It's almost predictable. :biggrin:

But some people were open and experienced things that then completely changed their life, beyond what they could think or believe.

I like this one, at the end:

My own NDE many years ago, when I emerged symptom-free from a 3-day "irreversible coma", was mind-boggling, life-transforming, and completely alien to my Roman Catholic belief system. This was even before there was so much literature on the subject.

Yes. I agree that some people have indeed experienced things that completely changed their lives (as in my case) but, after studying a lot of NDEs, I've noticed that most are consistent with the person's belief system with some very definite commonalities.

I didn't know why there is a 'but' there.
I thought in our circles it was common knowledge that we get what we expect and on the Other Side, that, and what we are comfy with.
A devote Hindu could see Ganesh or Krishna and the spirit guides in colorful silks instead of plain robes.
A 'but' seems to place a negative twist on the event.
She didn't attribute any of the spirits with Jesus or Paul - and commented she really had no thoughts.
You might think she would have seen the tall, bald man with the beautiful face as maybe Peter or Abraham...but no....
he was just a wise loving being, period...
one reason I enjoyed this NDE a lot...it was non-denominational.

I enjoyed his a lot. :) Daniel, a German guy.

Still Waters- Oh! I didn't know your link is her obit! April 2021.
I don't often click onto links -I'm glad I did this one.

Good point, indeed.
It's really amazing how similar are the effects of deep meditation and NDEs.

Do you know the true reason for it to have happened? Had you (unconsciously/deeply within you) planned to go on a wrong direction and then to "wake up" by this way, or is it something you still can't explain?

Thank you...No one mentions this very much.
But, YES! ---Long, deep meditation and suddenly I have exp's like NDE folks!!
Beautiful, holy, outta this world, so to speak. :notworthy:

QUOTE 9 EXCERPT:



You're absolutely right, as usual :D , that I shouldn't have put my "but" in there :D as it should more appropriately have been an "and" since "but" in that context does have a negative connotation.

In some ways, the NDE was indeed non-denominational, as you duly noted. I will concede that. However, as soon as I started listening to it (even before the explicit Christian references), I intuited her Christian orientation and subsequently checked her obituary which confirmed my intuition.

In assessing Truth, one eventually looks for conditioning or biases that influence such experiences. In this way, one can better arrive at Truth by eliminating as best as possible the conditioned aspects of the reported experience. Henry James did that quite well in his classic "Varieties of Religious Experiences".

QUOTE 10 EXCERPT:


I completely misinterpreted some of the directive aspects of my NDE. However, as life progressed (in terms of years, not days or weeks), everything became crystal clear. Nothing remained unexplained. :smile:
