...Not out of fear of some draconian punishment, which does not appear to be in the offing...

BZZZZZT! Thanks for playing...

You can make me come, but you can’t make me watch.

After facing the review, my official cause of death would have to be listed as boredom.

The first book I remember about NDE was by a Dr. who became interested when a patient described an experience after being resuscitated.

He wrote that it was important to talk to the person right after it happened to get the essence of it because over time they would embellish it or if it was a bad experience they would block it completely....

Interesting that in ALL of these NDE experiences NONE were really dead, lest they had stayed that way.

In the brilliant movie “Amazon Women on the Moon,” there is a wonderful parody of Siskel & Ebert reviewing the life of an ordinary mortal named Harvey Pitkin, I believe. The 2 thumbs down are nothing compared to what these pompous blowhards have to say about Harvey’s dreary existence! An absolutely hilarious sketch.

One question I will dread: “What did you do with the midgets?”

That is one of the most famous Jewish formulations of the Golden Rule, which turns up in all religious traditions.

Aye, there's the rub. The trouble starts when some religious guy says "What God REALLY meant was . . ."

My own feeling is that it is just a trick of the mind. I remember being sick with the flu, but went to work anyway. At one point, just for a second, I found myself a few feet away from my workstation, watching me work, then, SNAP! I was back inside my body. Think of all the people who, in violent situations, thought they were going to die (fighter pilots, police, etc.) who said that for a moment, their life flashed before their eyes.

I dunno, maybe it's just a core dump to that Big Computer in the Sky. :-)

I knew someone who had a NDE, which happened years before it was in the popular press. She was always hesitant to talk about it except with people very close to her, she thought people would think she was crazy. Her doctor told her it was just the anesthesia, but he was surprised that she knew almost everything that happened during her “death” including things that happened in the next room.

The details she told about the “beyond” were similar to the stories that we would read about years later when various writers started writing about things like this.

She was told it wasn’t time. She asked if she would be allowed to return; yes, of course they said. She said it was so beautiful that she couldn’t wait to go back and looked forward to it the rest of her life. When her end was near some 20 years later she was so happy.

I had a life review some time ago and I wasn’t dying. It happened when I was in prayer. It was just there and seemed to take place in a split second. What I was left with after the encounter was that there is no such thing as a non-event in your life. Literally every thought, every word you have ever thought, every word you have read, every person you have encountered-however insignificant it might have been at the time, every detail of your life is there. It is a complete and total report.

As was stated in the article, it isn’t that you are judged by an outside source. It’s that literally every act, thought and event has it’s own consequence.

Years later my husband had an NDE. He returned and we had another 1 & 1/2 years together before he passed to the other side.

I had what may or may not qualify as a "near death experience" when I was 14.We had a fire in our house...my older brother opened our bedroom door and billows of the blackest,most chocking smoke imaginable came into our room.At that instant,I became very calm (almost as if someone had flipped a switch in my head) and I began to have images...actually a video of HD quality....of different people and events in my life,including my grandmother who died when I was 4.And I remember saying to myself,in a very calm way,"well,here I go".

And it's still as clear as if it was yesterday.
