In each auditorium of 800 people, there are at least 12 people who have had such near-death experiences and who are willing to share them, if you can treat them without prejudice, without labeling them as a mental illness. The only reason these people came back was the desire to share their experiences with others, but in our society it is customary to reject, or even ridicule, such stories, because they do not fit into either a scientific or a strictly religious concept.
The most dramatic and all-time memory of how the biblical "Ask, and it will be given to you" is performed, connected with the near-death experiences of one man, whom his whole family had to pick up from their place of work on Memorial Day weekend to recover to relatives out of town.
When the family bus, in which the parents of his wife, wife and their 8 children were, was already on the way to it, a collision with a fuel tanker took place. Gasoline spilled out, and a fire broke out instantly, the whole family died immediately. After the man learned about the death of his relatives, for several weeks he was in a state of shock and numbness. He could no longer go to work and was unable to talk to anyone. He began to drink, and then became addicted to heroin and other drugs, hoping to numb his pain. This man was no longer able to work and ended up - literally - in a gutter.
While on a business trip, I stopped in Santa Barbara to read two lectures on the topic "Life After Death". The hospital staff asked me for a third report and I gave my consent. As soon as I spoke the introductory words, I felt that I did not want to tell the same stories again. I said to myself: “Oh God, why don't you send me someone from the audience who would have a near-death experience and would like to share it with others so that I can pause and the audience would hear the message first-hand, instead of to listen to my old stories again.
And then the organizer of the group handed me a sheet, it was a note from a man who lived in a flophouse for tramps. He asked me to give him the opportunity to talk about his near-death experience. I interrupted the report and sent a courier to him. And a few minutes later, after a hasty taxi ride, this man appeared before the public. However, instead of a lowered tramp, as I imagined him, knowing his whereabouts, a well-dressed, intelligent man appeared before us, who stepped on the podium and began his story.
He remembered how he had enjoyed the weekend with his family, and what a tragic misfortune befell them. He told me in what shock he was, having lost all his loved ones at once. The man described how he could not survive this blow of fate and how, as a result, from a well-earning, middle-class husband and father, he turned into a completely degraded vagabond who was drunk from night to morning and used drugs all the time. How he did everything to ditch himself in some way, but still failed.
His last recollection of a degraded man, when he had been homeless for 2 years, the following scene occurred: he was completely drunk and not thinking anything, he was lying on a muddy road. He had only one desire, and that was to reunite with his family. When he saw an approaching truck, he did not find the strength to crawl aside, and the car ran over him.
At the same moment, he was a couple of meters from the scene and saw his body lying in the middle of the road. And at the same moment, his family appeared in front of him. They were surrounded by radiance and the man felt incredible love. With joyful smiles on their faces, they rushed to each other. Communication took place through the transmission of thought. They shared with him their joy that they are now together again.

The homeless man did not know how long the meeting with his family members lasted. But he was so shocked by their health, beauty, radiance, full acceptance of their present position and their unconditional love that he decided not to go with them, but to return to share this experience with the world and try to change his life. Then he saw himself again at the scene of the accident and watched as the driver put his seriously wounded body into the truck, how, finally, an ambulance arrived with a loud noise, and then he was transported to the hospital, where he was laid on a couch.
There he was in intensive care when he finally returned to his body. The man immediately left the department. He felt healed and was internally confident that he would not die until he shared his experience with as many people as possible. After reading an article in the newspaper about my appearance in Santa Barbara, he decided to send me a note. While I asked him to share his experience with us, he understood that it was necessary to fulfill the decision he made during his short meeting with his family.
We do not know what has happened to this man since then. But I can never forget the sparkle in his eyes, great joy and great gratitude. Gratitude for the fact that he was able to tell about his experience without being ridiculed, and to convey to the audience his deep conviction that our physical body is only a transitory shell that our immortal “I” “dresses” for a while.
Now only one question remains: what after death?
• We looked at the cases of young children who had not read Moody's Life After Life books, newspaper articles, and who had no knowledge of reports like the one mentioned by the above man. Even a 2-year-old child could share with us his experience, which he took for death. During such experiences, people of different faiths can experience experiences colored by their religious beliefs. The case of this 2 year old child may be the best example.
After the doctor's injection in the treatment room, the little boy fell into severe allergic shock, and he was even considered dead. While the doctor and mother awaited the appearance of the called father, the latter hugged her little boy, bursting into tears. After some time, which seemed like an eternity to her, the child opened his eyes and said in words that would be more suitable for an old wise man:
“Mom, I was dead. Jesus and Mary were with me. And Mary told me several times that my time has not yet come and I must return back to Earth. But I didn't want to believe her. As soon as she noticed that I didn’t want to listen to her, she took my hand and led me away from Jesus, saying, “Peter, you have to come back. You must keep your mother out of the fire. " The boy added: "You know, Mommy, as soon as she told me that, I ran all the way to you."
For 13 years, the mother was unable to talk to anyone about this event. She was very depressed as she misinterpreted Mary's prediction.
She understood this instruction in this way: the son will one day have to save her from fire, that is, from eternal hell. This did not fit into her head, since she considered herself a good Christian. I tried to explain to her that she had misinterpreted the symbolic words. The message in the message was about the unique and amazing gift of Mary: everyone on the spiritual level is the bearer of total and unconditional love and therefore cannot condemn or criticize anyone - in contrast to us, people who really lack such qualities.
I asked the woman to leave her thoughts for a moment and allow her spiritual and intuitive component to answer a simple question: "How would you feel if Mary had not sent your Peter back to you 13 years ago?" She grabbed onto her temples with both hands and shouted, “For God's sake! I would have to go through hell. " And of course, after that I no longer had to ask her one more question: "Do you understand now from what fire Mary saved you?"
The Holy Scriptures are rich in symbolism. And if people listened more to their intuitive-spiritual part, and the wisdom of this amazing source of knowledge would not be poisoned by their own fear, guilt, desire to punish others or themselves, then they could begin to understand the amazing symbolic language of the dying when they try trust us with your knowledge.
I will not point out that a Jewish boy is unlikely to meet Jesus, while a Protestant child can hardly see Mary. This does not mean that such creatures will not take care of other children of the Gentiles, it is simply that each of us receives what is most necessary for him. We meet in the other world those who are most dear to us.
It is important to understand that from the beginning of existence until returning to God, we always preserve our own identity and energy structure, and that among the many billions of people in the Universe there is no second such energy structure, there is no person identical to another, even if we talk about identical twins.
If someone doubts the greatness of our Creator, let them imagine what kind of genius is required to create billions of energy structures, and that among them there will not be a single repetition. Each person is gifted with the gift of originality. I can compare this miracle only with an infinite number of snowflakes on our planet, about which it is known that among them there are no two that would be identical.
I have been given great grace with my own eyes to see the existence of hundreds of such energy structures in clear daylight. They came to me like an innumerable number of "snowflakes", each of which was different from the others in its glow, color, appearance or shape. This is how we look after we have died, and this is how we exist before we are born again.
We do not literally need time and space to travel from one star to another, from planet Earth to other constellations. Yes, the energy structures of each entity can linger even here on Earth. If we only had such eyes that could see it, then we would notice that we are never alone, that we are surrounded by those entities that faithfully accompany us throughout our life, love and protect us. They try to guide and help us to stay on the right path that leads to predestination.
Perhaps, at a time when we are suffering from severe pain, mental anguish and great loneliness, we can increase our perception so that we can observe their presence. For example, talking to them before bed: asking questions and asking to allow us to find the right answer. Those who are able to remember dreams know that many questions were answered in dreams.
And the higher our ability to tune in to the inner essence, our own spiritual side, the more confidence we will also be able to receive help and guidance from this essence, which is the omniscient “I” and our immortal soul, which we usually describe as a butterfly …
