Wisdom fromdom from Near-Death Experienci


Near-Death Exper ences

know what many near-death survivors have discovered: there is no death. Death has been reported to be a glorious release into greater awareness, light, love and joy. The International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS) offers some answers for those suffering in the wake of the recent deaths in Orlando.

near-death experiences—and returned to share their story and messages with the rest of us—typically report learning that “the ultimate purpose of life is to be a more loving person.” That is a message we can all take to heart.

it’s not their time, while some note they chose to come back and were allowed to. Others explain they are just suddenly back in the body. This may imply that those who do not return found it was their time to “go into the light.”


These kinds of experiences cause many people to believe in immortality—that there is no death. Some report knowing that they have returned again and again, or reincarnated—sometimes to learn important lessons, or to make things right for harm they have caused.
