1. The Near-Death Experience When the bleeding wouldn´t stop, Bill knew he was dying. "I was going, but I felt totally at peace. There was a golden kind of light, brighter than the sun, but it didn´t hurt my eyes. I never wanted anything as much as to go into that light, but something or somebody-it felt like my dad, who died when I was a kid-communicated to me, ´It isn´t your time. You must go back to finish what you have to do in your life.´ The next thing I knew, I was slammed back into my body. It felt like a wet sock, and the pain was just awful." For Marilyn, in the emergency room with a heart attack, the pain suddenly stopped. "All at once I just popped out of my body and floated up to the ceiling. I could see dust on top of the light fixtures, and I thought, ´Boy, somebody´s going to catch it for this!´ I could see doctors working on someone on the table, when all of a sudden I realized it was me-I mean, my body. I thought it was kind of silly they were working so hard. My family was waiting down the hall, and I wished my kids could stop crying; I wanted to let them know I was fine, but they couldn´t hear me. Then it seemed I had to get back, that it was my job to take care of them, see them grow up okay." When the car stopped flipping, Kurt thought he had been thrown into outer space. "I was alone, all by myself out in the universe. I could hear noises, sort of like moans, and I could see these figures in the distance. They seemed to be people wearing some kind of robe, and they were faceless. They were in torment. I don´t know why I think that, except it just seemed that way. They were helpless and gesturing to me to join them. Then I was realizing it would be like that forever. Something-I don´t know what-was sending me a message, something about making a choice. I don´t really remember it exactly. Being there was so horrible I can´t even describe it. That was fourteen years ago, and I still can´t figure out what I ever did to deserve it." What Bill, Marilyn and Kurt have shared are near-death experiences. NDEs have occurred throughout history, in all parts of the world. It is even possible that experiences like these helped to create the world´s ideas about heaven and hell, or at least about what may happen at or after death. [המשך...]
