| 'Near Death Experiences' |
A near death experience is
a personal experience that is associated with death or an impending death…these
experiences may include a variety of sensations such as a feeling of detachment
from the body…perhaps feelings of levitation…a sense of total serenity, and
often the presence of a light is described…sometimes people will describe a
feeling of entering into a great darkness…or they may sense a feeling of going
up a staircase or some kind of passageway…or sometimes like riding an
elevator…people have also described having their ‘life pass before their
eyes’…some have said that they had a decision to make, whether to continue on
that path, or turn around and return to their body…after this type of
experience, some have said that they feel a greater sense of purpose-ness and
heightened feelings…others have said that they felt this way only for a short
time and then returned to being ‘themselves’…what causes these near-death experiences
to happen if they happen at all?...are they real supernatural episodes where
the person is actually experiencing these things…or are they just some sort of
hallucinations which are caused by the ongoing events at the time?...many of
those that have had this experience swear that these truly occurred…and who can
say that they didn’t?
