Examining Death and the Near Death Experience

Many contemplate the inevitable passing of their bodies, or the passing of their immediate family and friends with dread and fear. Fear of the unknown or what religion declares if not following dogmatic rules to the letter. Hell—Satan—eternal damnation of the soul, etc., instilling terror in the mind of its patrons. Thousands have had the pleasure of peeking into the after-life through Near Death Experiences (N.D.E.) and virtually all articulate that death is peaceful, loving, and safe. This includes small children who make the journey.

One of the most compelling accounts is from Dr. George G. Ritchie in the early 1900s, “Return from Tomorrow”. In December, 1943, George Ritchie died of pneumonia. Nine minutes later, miraculously and unaccountably, he returned to life to tell of his amazing near-death experience in the afterlife. His near-death experience was the one that profoundly moved Raymond Moody to begin seriously investigating the near-death experience. Since Dr. Moody is considered to be the "father of the near-death experience," Dr. Ritchie's near-death experience is in a class of its own. You will find his experience to be one of the most profound near-death experiences ever documented.

Dr. Melvin Morse who has studied the N.D.E.s experiences since the 80s recounts an 8-year olds experience: "Dr. Morse, I have a wonderful secret to tell you. I was climbing a staircase to heaven". Chris, age 8, told me this after being resuscitated when his heart stopped beating as a result of kidney failure. As a Pediatrician and neuroscientist, I have been studying that secret since 1980.

Picture of child's interpretation of "heaven"

This picture was drawn by a seven year old girl who nearly drowned in a swimming pool.  Above the blue line, we see the girl in a world with flowers. As I expressed complete disbelief at her story, she patted me condescendingly on the hand and told me, "You'll see Dr. Morse, Heaven is fun."

She wanted to stay in heaven; however, a person she thought was Jesus told her that she had to go back to help her mother with medical problems associated with her (then) unborn brother. She didn't know what these problems were as the baby was not born yet. Yet she draws her unborn brother at the bottom of the picture with a big heart in his chest. After this drawing was made, he was born with severe heart disease.

Excellent account of a near death experience by a reluctant messenger Mellen-Thomas Benedict

“As the light revealed itself to me, I became aware that what I was really seeing was our Higher Self matrix. The only thing I can tell you is that it turned into a matrix, a mandala of human souls, and what I saw was that what we call our Higher Self in each of us is a matrix. It's also a conduit to the Source; each one of us comes directly, as a direct experience from the Source. We all have a Higher Self, or an Oversoul part of our being. It revealed itself to me in its truest energy form. The only way I can really describe it is that the being of the Higher Self is more like a conduit. It did not look like that, but it is a direct connection to the Source that each and every one of us has. We are directly connected to the Source. . .” 

At any level, high or low, in whatever shape you are in, you are the most beautiful creation, you are. 

I was astonished to find that there was no evil in any soul. 

I said, "How can this be?" 

The answer was that no soul was inherently evil. The terrible things that happened to people might make them do evil things, but their souls were not evil. What all people seek, what sustains them, is love, the light told me. What distorts people is a lack of love.

“. . .As I asked the light to keep explaining, I understood what the Higher Self matrix is. We have a grid around the planet where all the Higher Selves are connected. This is like a great company, a next subtle level of energy around us, the spirit level, you might say. 

Then, after a couple of minutes, I asked for more clarification. I really wanted to know what the universe is about, and I was ready to go at that time.” 

He had the option to stay, but the Light convinced him it was not his time to leave the life he knew as he had much to do. NM

There are many who are not only afraid to leave their present experience and ready themselves for the next exciting one but live in terror no matter what the condition of their bodies or particular age. The Universe is nothing to fear; “it is like running to the arms of a loving parent.”

Another fear of humans is the thought they are all alone: The children have gone their own way with their new families and responsibilities; a spouse may have passed; you are getting old and feel useless. This is not true. If you are alive you still have many tasks to complete, and you are NEVER alone. Your spirit guides are with you, guiding you each and every day. You are always surrounded by love.

The Law of Attraction is more important now than ever. Your vibration of your desires, joy and happiness are dependent on your thoughts and actions. If you are miserable, you draw that kind of life to you. You deserve better. Do anything that brings you joy. The best way is through service through love. Keep your mind active, and a big one, keep your body active.

There is nothing to fear people of the Spiritual Matrix. Nothing or no one dies, including every species on this wonderful planet. Relax.  . . You are loved. Enjoy the journey!
