The Near Death Experience (NDE)

Essentially, a Near Death Experience is an out-of-body experience, but with a few differences. Near Death Experiences (or NDE for short) are very similar to an etheric projection, in that the physical surroundings can be seen and the visual point is usually floating over the physical body to start with. People who have had NDEs, have reported that they could hear and see their loved ones around them in their hospital room, or maybe the surgeon working on them if they were in surgery. Some have said that they could see their silver cord shimmering behind them.

They are at this point in an etheric projection, but what differentiates this from a regular OBE is that it is the threshold between physical life and death. The physical body has died, and the consciousness is now within the etheric body.

Those who have experienced NDEs were on the brink between this world and the next. They have been clinically dead, their hearts stopped beating for a time.

One difference between an NDE and an OBE is that during an NDE a common sight is the tunnel and the light at the end. This is not present with regular OBEs. It is my belief that this vantage point is looking through the silver cord and into the next plane, like a conduit or a wormhole of sorts.

In etheric projection where we stay close to the physical, the silver cord just remains as an attachment between our physical body and our etheric body. In astral projection, we travel along the silver cord on the outside, leaving it attached to the physical while our consciousness enters the astral plane. In death, we pass through it like a tunnel or a wormhole, and pull it with us collapsing it from the inside, effectively cutting it off from the physical body as we travel toward the light of the astral plane.

Unlike astral projection, this journey is one way, as we are taking the seed with us. Once the silver cord is severed, it is impossible to revive the physical body, or at least its consciousness.  The physical body can be kept on life support, but the consciousness can never return.

These are my own thoughts about the tunnel and the light.

Another feature of an NDE seems to be what as known as self judgment. An entire life’s worth of flashbacks, all of the good and the bad are replayed in their entirety, but this flashback may only take a very short time to happen. It is the soul’s time to reflect on what it has learned in this life and ultimately, it is the soul’s own judgment that directs what happens next.

Some people have returned from the brink with stories of a hellish place full of torment, and others have reported pure beauty. The astral plane is divided into sub planes, the lowest of which are places of sadness and despair. The highest sub planes are filled with beauty. All sub planes however retain the features of the astral plane, that being thought creates, and qualities are mystical. So then, the inhabitants of the lowest sub planes are creating their own hell, while those in the higher sub planes are creating their paradise.

During a NDE, one can catch a glimpse of what is to come. Those who have found themselves on the lower levels during a NDE have looked at it as a chance to change their ways during this life.
