Near Death Experiences
A near death experience is a type of conscious out of body experience that occurs at a time of intense physical distress. The stages of a typical near death experience (NDE) are listed below and explained from an esoteric perspective:
- You hear a loud ringing or buzzing sound. This is caused by your emotional-mental body detaching from your physical-etheric body.
- You travel through a long dark tunnel. Your monad (self) travels up the central sushumna channel of your etheric spine and out of the crown chakra. This point of exit allows the consciousness thread to remain connected, which enables “live” perception of the event and subsequent recollection by the waking consciousness.
- You notice that you are outside of your physical body but still in the immediate environment. You are objectively conscious in your emotional-mental body.
- You look down on your physical body and feel intense emotional upheaval as attempts are made to resuscitate it. Emotions are greatly intensified when the emotional body is free from the dampening effect of the dense physical body.
- You realise that you still have a body, but one of a very different nature to the physical body you have temporarily left behind. The emotional body can fly, pass through solid matter and visit non-physical worlds.
- Other non-physical humans come to meet you to ease your fears and disorientation, then an angelic being of light appears – this is your guardian angel.
- The angel telepathically asks you to evaluate your life. You are shown an incredibly detailed panoramic review of your life, which includes everything you have ever done, said, thought, felt or experienced (more on this shortly).
- You are overwhelmed by the intense feelings of joy, love and peace. As previously stated, your emotions are greatly intensified when your emotional body is free from the dampening effect of the dense physical body.
- The angel tells you that you must return to Earth because your time has not yet come.
- You return to your physical body and wake up with full recollection of the experience.
Near death experiences are induced by our guardian angel to awaken us to our life’s purpose or get our life back on track. They show us things about ourselves so that we may become better people, and they show us things about our lives so that we can make the most of them. They show us our true colours; without ego or self-deception. Quite simply, a near-death experience is a wake up call to remind us that our life could have ended but we are being given a second chance.
The life review is often described as being more vivid and real than the original events were. This is because our feelings and emotions are greatly intensified in the emotional world. People often describe being able to sense the other person’s perspective in addition to their own. This is because our emotional body perceives every emotional thought-form that passes through it, but most are too subtle to make themselves known to our physical waking consciousness. However, the memories remain in the subconscious and can easily be recalled in the out-of-body state. This enables the events to be relived with an added “dimension”.
Some near death experiencers report being given the choice to remain in the emotional world or to return to the physical world. Everyone chooses to return to Earth because if it really was their time to die they would just die – there would be no NDE and there would be no “choice”. Their guardian angel knows what their decision will be and only offers the choice to those who want to return to Earth, because they are more likely to embrace their second chance if they willingly chose to return. If their guardian angel knows they want to stay, it will simply tell them that they must return to Earth.
