Near-Death Experience

.
The other day I watched a program on television in which people who have had a near death experience (NDE) were interviewed. Each of the people being interviewed had physically died from the perspective that their heart had stopped beating... And as they felt they were floating above the panic that ensued around their bodies, they recounted that all physical discomfort had left; they experienced no pain, no distress at that moment.

The imagery each person experienced is vastly different.
Where one person may experience the tunnel and see the whiter than white light, another person may experience a more conscious process where they are aware of what is happening and in their minds say their goodbyes to those they love.
Either way, it seems to be okay the way it is...

The thing that seems the same for each person is that their perspective on life has changed a great deal. Often, this sense that things are okay is taken back into this physical life. No matter what will happen, it will be okay!
On top of that there is a ‘knowing’ that life is built from two substances: Light and Love. And as such, we are all the same. We are all part of that oneness that is built from Light and Love.

Now, that doesn’t mean that all f a sudden life becomes easy. There are still hard choices, difficult decisions that need to be made ~ very much in the same manner it works for all of us who haven’t experienced a NDE.
It does mean, however, that how those are handled changes.

Somehow, an NDE turns out to be a major reality check!
A reality check that often results in different priorities. Doing things that aren’t important to the person, seems to become a more and more futile exercise ~ why do it?

Listening to the interviews it occurred to me that from the perspective of a person having experienced a NDE, the rest of us is way too busy with things that are not truly important. With things we feel we have to do, are obligated to do. Instigated by motivations that are often based outside of ourselves ~ making what others say, feel or think about us more important than how we feel or think about ourselves.
The rest of us seems to have lost touch with the qualities that are really important: the Light and Love that we all are built from, and things like peace and oneness.

For me, those are the things that tend to come up in meditations. And through the meditative experience they will often help me putting things into perspective ~ making them therefore easier to handle...
