1786.0. "NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE/OOBE/SPIRITS" by COMET::AGUILERA (I AM WHAT I AM.) Wed Jan 20 1993 00:31

    Did anyone see "Life After Life" by Ray Moody Jr. on cable TV
    The Learning Channel (THC) last weekend, or has any one read
    his book of the same title? It was an interesting account of
    people from all different backgrounds and cultures who shared
    their Near-Death experiences. Even though these people lived
    dissimilar lives their acounts of their OOBE were very much
    the same. They visited loved ones when in this state. This
    reminded me of some of the notes under Spirits in this very
    notes file.
    
     I have compiled a summary of what these people experienced
    in the form of a Poem in the next note. It is entitled
    "DEATH OR LIFE"
    
                               P.A.

1786.1	RE:1786.0 POEM	COMET::AGUILERA	I AM WHAT I AM.	`Wed Jan 20 1993 00:35`	56
	DEATH OR LIFE Floating from this earthly shell, I felt an awareness. Aware of all that was about me, and with all there was a oneness. I had an omnipresent view and movement in the universe. I felt relief as though lifted from me was a great curse. As I flew about bidding loved ones good-bye, My heart went out to them as they thought of me and did cry. Suddenly a tunnel with a light at the end did appear. I drifted uncontrollably but drawn toward the light, and as I approached it, I lost all fear. Entering the other side, I was bathed in this brilliant light of love. Immediately I was reunited with departed loved ones who had previously trekked above. Soon a flashback with a panoramic view of my whole life arose. I gazed upon the way of life I had chose. Finally realizing the rippling affect of ones existence and its consequences. This abode's dimensions of time and space had its differences. I could actually enter each of my past life's scenes. I could observe or interact as if in a dream. What new existence has the Angel of Death brought me to? Have thou brought me to an origin to start anew? P.A. 1-16-93
1786.2	thank you!	IAMOK::HORGAN	go, lemmings, go	`Wed Jan 20 1993 20:46`	22
	Thank you for that wonderful poem. It very nicely stated what I have come to believe about life after life! We have been intrigued by this subject since our son died four years ago. I read all sorts of books, including Moody's, and had the opportunity to meet with George Anderson (there's a note about him here somewhere). The meeting with George was incredible, and confirmed what my readings had led me to believe. The 3 or 4 days after Ben died were very strange for my wife and I. We felt an incredible sense of peace, and felt very loved. We feel like we were given a "taste" of heaven, perhaps as a gift to help us understand that Ben was now in a place of similar peace and love. Whatever the reason the experience was very powerful, and carried us through those otherwise difficult days. This experience, our meeting with George, and various "miracles" or connections with a greater power/God have led me to believe that there is much beyond this world, much that we do not (maybe cannot) understand. /Tim
