Sitting in my philosophy class yesterday we spoke about near death experiences. Have you ever thought about this topic? I have thought about it time and again but never took the time to truly analyze how I felt about it. I was reading Raymond Moody’s book The Light Beyond and examples of children, and adults who have experienced near death experiences. The descriptions which they explains of tunnels they entered, a white light, or the sensation of floating above their own body while doctors work on bringing them back to life.
As weird as this sounds many people wish that they could have this experience! Would you choose to have a
near death experience if given a chance?
Reading how these children and adults sense of calmness after their experiences was eye opening. Their fear of dying went away and this sense of excitement to return back to the wonderful place where they felt safe and love took over.
As a senior in college I have my life ahead of me; however, many people tend to forget that life is short and unpredictable. One’s life can be taken away from them in an instance, as scary as that sounds. Learning about near death experiences put my life into perspective in a way thinking about my future, and how I want to live my life. I want to live my life like those who have had these experiences, appreciating everyday here on earth and living their lives to the fullest.
