Death and Dying – Research on Near Death Experiences Leads to Revelations

In the past thirty-five years, a plethora of research on Near Death Experiences had created a great deal of interest and awareness in what was once a rarely reported event. Reliable information is now available to us all -- information that challenges us to think more deeply about the nature of life and death.

More Near Death Experiences (NDEs) are being reported than ever before. There may be at least two reasons: first, more NDEs are happening due to modern medicine's high level of skill in resuscitation, resulting in more lives being saved; second, there is a favorable cultural climate for discussing unusual personal experiences, allowing more people to open up and talk about their experiences.

This short article will focus on revelations inspired by NDEs, how NDEs change lives, and how they may be helpful to people who have not had a NDE.

What is so exciting about NDEs?

Research shows these remarkable experiences happen to ordinary people, and they have an extraordinary influence over their lives! The experience tends to change people in very positive ways, and change them forever. The changes are not small and insignificant, but amount to quantum changes.

Even children have NDEs -- the majority of critically ill children have some type of NDE. And their experiences are remembered for a lifetime.

Plus, researchers have found personality changes caused by NDEs tend to be lasting. Perhaps no other experience can have such a dramatic and sudden impact on a person's life.

NDEs have been found to occur in all cultures and with people of all religious backgrounds. The structure of the experiences is consistent and uniform across cultural lines.

Raising Human Consciousness

Some researchers have suggested NDEs are helping us to advance our inner consciousness. I believe NDEs are in fact inspiring us to unlock our dormant spiritual potential, and to revise the way we think about life and death.

After all, a profound inner experience that motivates people to change their lives in immensely positive ways, and to live more loving and fulfilling lives, can't be overlooked or forgotten. NDEers have a greater zest for living, extreme empathy and sensitivity for the needs of others, and a sincere desire to be of service.

And, to the person who comes close to death only to be given a second chance, life is nothing short of a miracle!

Those who undergo a NDE often report having amazing revelations, such as:

1. Realizing in a completely new way the utter futility of living a life of fear

2. The realization of the dire importance of conducting loving relationships

3. The acute awareness that there is nothing to fear in death

What can these NDE revelations teach us?

NDEs may shed new light on human consciousness, and may serve as a reliable indicator of changes most people can make to improve the quality of their lives.

Would you like to live more fearlessly? Would you like to focus more attention on leading people in your relationships? Would you like to make a quantum change in your life?

You may be interested in reading some of the good articles or books on NDEs and learning more about the experiences of those who have seen the light. There is food for thought in the near death literature . . . and much to learn about advancing your spirituality.
