I believe that what we call death is simply a rebirth into another realm, and in another form.
OK, I hear many of you say that Lizzie has gone totally bonkers, but I became interested in the fascinating subject of NDE's (Near Death Experiences) after reading a book by Dr Raymond Moody Life after Life.
I bought this book after losing my 26-year-old brother to suicide. I was only 29 at the time, and that act had a profound impact on my life. Feelings of guilt - how could I have been so blind not to see he was feeling this way? How could someone do that to themselves?
It was an awfully dark period, but I needed answers.
What happens after death?
I know that answer will only be revealed when I cross over, but I wanted to know more.
Dr. Moody's book was published five years before my brother's death.
As modern medicine advances, many patients who were clinically dead, are revived, and some have out-of-body experiences, saying they never felt so alive when they were supposed to be dead!
Many of these people tell the doctors or whoever revived them, exactly what happened when they were being resuscitated. Naturally, some medical doctors became interested in this phenomenon.
Some people go on to say that they found themselves moving through a tunnel, with a light at the end, Is that not how birth is? and what a blissful experience it was.
Most people say they were ashamed to talk of their experience as medical personnel would think they're crazy, but they told their close family.
As more people started talking about it, doctors realized these 'stories' were real.
Dr. Bruce Greyson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences began his research in the mid-1970s and has studied over 1000 cases.
A couple of facts that stand out is that people from all walks of life, and faiths, even non-believers, all have similar blissful experiences, and find that this changes their whole perspective on life.
I have a personal story to tell about NDE, and it concerns my niece's son. He was electrocuted at the age of ten on his Grandpa's dairy farm, and his heart stopped. Fortunately, his Grandpa and Dad were there and resuscitated him after lengthy CPR.
He told them afterwards that he saw what they were doing to him, and described everything in detail that only they knew of. He also experienced the light at the end of a tunnel, and saw people waiting for him, describing the beauty of what he saw in this 'place'. Note, that they had never discussed anything like this, and had not known about NDE's, so there is no way this young 10-year-old boy could have made up a story like that.
Scientific studies about near-death experiences are ongoing, but I for one, am comforted by these NDE's.
I have always believed that life does not end when we 'die,' but rather that it's a rebirth.
Think about what happens when you plant a seed; it first has to die before a new plant starts growing!
And so it is with life and death, an everlasting circle - the circle of life.
