Re: Life, as such, is a constant Near Death Experience…
i agree... all here that have shared with us their experiences have mostly been healthy individuals that experienced a sort of premature death... and i can only imagine their elation and joy at the time of being freed of their ego... and experiencing the spirit... even if only briefly... but then...for what ever reason... god saw fit to send them back... to give them a reprieve... if for no other reason maybe just to share... to soothe the fears of we mortals here below...
i watched my father die of lung cancer... long drawn out suffering... he fought so hard to live... but near the end... it was i that could take it no longer... and when i returned home that night i prayed for god to take him... that he had suffered enough... i think god answered my prayer right away because my father died almost at that same time...
to me... his death had to have been such a wonderful relief... i can only imagine what an exhilarating experience it must have been for him to leave that pain racked body with all it's agony and suffering... to be immediately immersed in love... light... and the warmth of the spiritual realm...
i guess my point is... if there is one... that most of us have a tendency to cling to what we know... or what we THINK we know... which in affect is what our very own ego uses to help us survive... but in so doing it takes control... and manages to create a life of it's own... and whats worse is that we feed it... nurture it... and seek more and more knowledge... more stuff to cling to... for surely we can think our way out of any situation... while all along... it has nothing to do with what we know... it has more to do with letting go of these things WE THINK WE KNOW...
some say:
"when you find yourself at the end of your rope... tie a knot and hang on"...
but i say: "let go of the damned rope"...
the rope may be tied to the back of a bus...
lol...
