Living within the rigmarole of our conventional activities, we gradually lose the freshness of our lives. Mediocrity sets in. People who realize this look for messages from such unusual phenomena like the NDE. It is a pity that many remain unaware of the profound messages from the other side. Those who pay attention to them are the ones who are going to bring about a unified humanity. People who return from a short period when their life ends have attempted to communicate to us what they see and sense on the other side. It becomes a difficult task for them because to cloth that ravishing experience in the day-to-day language is almost impossible. That is what makes the NDE a recondite issue. Some detractors, however, try to veer people away from this extraordinary phenomenon saying that it is no more than a decaying brain’s reaction. People who come to such conclusions are unaware of the merely logical mind’s limitations in the esoteric realm. Once we steer away from the influences of the conventional mind, we begin to explore NDEs and find a great vista opening for us towards enriching our lives spiritually.
From the thousands of NDE accounts collected, six of the main messages are as follows:
1. Unqualified Love: The feeling of love that they experience while being on the other side, especially while being with the Light, is of a superior nature compared to what we know by that word while being in the body. The Divine love is unconditional. After the experience, the NDEers are able to relate to people and to all things on earth with that impact, so that such questions as to what country or religion the other person belongs become meaningless.
2. Sensing the feeling of returning home: On the other side, there is a feeling of having returned home, the period on the earth being like a sojourn elsewhere. The Divine presence makes us understand that fact. The NDEers say that all our fears about life and about the aftermath are founded on illusion.
3. Dissolution of the fear of passing away: Once freed from the body, the consciousness understands that our true Self is immortal. This is what is involved in the NDEers expression that they are no longer afraid of death. They understand who they really are.
4. Different perspectives on time and space: They indicate that the way the conventional mind functions, time and space become merely a part of its kaleidoscopic illusion. In the otherness, they feel the actuality of the timelessness and of existing in the eternal Now.
5. Moving into a vaster consciousness: In the other realm, there is the understanding that the awareness of the mind on this plane is extremely limited and that the concepts on God, spirituality etc also suffer those limitations. One sees oneself as belonging to all beings – an overwhelming feeling of being one with everyone and everything in the universe.
6. A laid back attitude about possession, approval and success: The NDE people see the absurdity in chasing such ego-based demands and, hence, lead their lives with a healthy laidback attitude while applying themselves to daily life with gusto.
There are many more interesting things the NDEers come up with. It needs a sustained contact with that field to be able to appreciate and assimilate the essence of their messages. Related matters are covered in the website on Natural Spirituality: http://spirituality.yolasite.com
