Hi Lacewing, I thought of you while watching this video for some reason (I am still watching it)..
I never used to be open that much to accounts such as these, but since all my own experiences I am VERY open to hearing what others have to say. I am finding the stories of children recounting stuff from their past lives rather convincing too, but this one re NDE resonates with this thread title..
Thanks Atto. I watched the video and saw intriguing things throughout it... despite the woman talking very, very fast... good god!
Some of the things she described were things I've experienced. Not just during my own NDE, but also during walking meditation with eyes open. Which reminds me... the other day my eyes were closed as I was laying in bed in the dark, and my 'vision' was filled with a light so blindingly brilliant that I had the idea I should close my eyes... but they were already closed.
I think we have access to so much more than the mundane here in our Earthly lives, and I think people will frame that (and try to make sense of that) with whatever framework they believe in, if that suits them to do so. That woman said she had always believed in God, so her belief was woven into her experience. My own experiences did
not have any idea of God woven into them.
I think there's value in noticing the insights minus the imprint of our human beliefs (if we're capable of doing that). For example, if that woman did
not believe in God, I think she still would have had the same fantastic experience... like I did... and she would have framed it differently. Likewise, if she was of a different culture, or a time period BC, she would frame it differently. So, the fascinating thing to me is that we can experience being 'beyond ourselves'. We can see things and know things, and we do not need to assign it to anyone or anything in particular.
