Near-Death Experience: Gone Today...Here Tomorrow

Various researchers have attempted to describe the common aftereffects that are typically experienced by the individuals involved. Besides the loss of the fear of death, persons reported feeling more spiritual and thinking in more abstract ways. Some experienced bouts of depression. They reported becoming more charitable and less competitive. They had heightened sensations of all their senses and had increased intuitive abilities. Curiosity combined with a hunger for knowledge and learning were common, as well as a child-like sense of happiness and wonderment.

Complete reversals of personality often took place. A previously unforgiving person now replaces their former need to punish and judge others with a forgiving nature. Over-achievers are transformed into easy-going and relaxed reflective thinkers. And those indifferent to the world become involved members of society resolving to make an improvement in the world.

Some reported physiological changes included: unusual sensitivity to light and sound, decreased tolerance of pharmaceuticals, electrical sensitivity, increased allergies or sensitivities. Some claim to possess the ability to heal and others changed their diets eating more vegetables and grains and eliminating meat. They may seem to be physically younger in appearance and act more juvenile.

I was confused by the reference to electrical sensitivity I found in my research. It was explained as a condition whereby the forcefield around an individual affects nearby electrical equipment. It was described as being sporadic in effect and persons noticed the following happening: watches stopped, microphones "squealed," tape recorders quit, television channels change by themselves, light bulbs popped, and computers suddenly lost their memory. I have experienced many more light bulbs popping or popping in what seems to be rapid succession.

People who have had NDEs may change their approach to health, jobs, finances, lifestyle and relationships. Some may have to relearn parts of their former existence. Most make these adjustments and live enriched, healthy, and productive lives.

NDEs are not a new phenomenon but have occurred throughout history in all cultures and by people from many different religions. There is a tremendous interest in the subject because people desperately want to know what happens when and after we die. It was previously voiced that we didn't know the answer, because no one had ever died and came back to tell us.

Today people are not only sharing NDE accounts, they are writing books on the subject. There are actual research programs out there studying and trying to explain what causes these experiences.
