All the sentiments of Worldly grandeur vanish at the unavoidable moment which decides the destiny of people. Emotional reactions to impending death tell us little about what it like to actually die. Many people have died and lived to tell about it. The emergency room doctors work feverishly over a heart attack victim. “I think we have lost him,” says one of the doctors. The patient, who appears to have died, hears the doctor’s words, then a buzzing sound.

From somewhere above, he sees his own lifeless body on the table. Then he enters a dark tunnel and passes into an area of bright light. There, he is met by a “being of light” who shows him a rapid play back of his entire life. At some point he reaches a barrier. He is completely at pace and feels engulfed by love, but he knows he must go back.

Suddenly, he is in his body again. One of the doctors exclaims, “Look, his heart’s beating!” The patient recovers. For the rest of his life, he is profoundly affected by his journey to the threshold of death and back.

The preceding description contains all the core elements of a near-death experience (NDE) (a pattern of experiences that may occur when a person is clinically dead and then resuscitated). During an NDE, people typically experience all or most of the following: a feeling of separation from their body, entering darkness or a tunnel, seeing a light, entering the light, a life review, feeling at peace.

Many people regard NDEs as spiritual experiences that seem to verify the existence of an afterlife. In contrast, medical explanations attribute NDEs to the physiological reactions of an oxygen-starved brains. Indeed, many elements of NDEs can be produced by other conditions, such as hallucinogenic drugs, high fever, or just falling asleep.

While debate about the meaning of NDEs continues, one thing is certain: Near-death experiences can profoundly change personalities and life goals. Many near-death survivors claim that they are no longer motivated by greed, competition, or material success. Instead, they become more concerned about the needs of other people.

There is some comfort in knowing that people who have “died” and lived to tell about it were not frightened or in pain. Beyond that, perhaps we can learn something from such close encounters with death. As many near-death survivors have learned, death can be an excellent yardstick for measuring what is really important in life.

Understanding what the dying person is going through may make it easier for you to offer support at this important time. Simple willingness to be with the person and to honestly share his or her feelings can help bring dignity, acceptance, and meaning to death.

The ancient ones, from whom you are descended, held knowledge of this event so sacred that they carved it on living stone so that future generation would have access to this information. They were aware that the spell of mortality would take deeper and even deeper hold over humanity causing them to experience an almost complete state of amnesia.

In many ways, this will act as a preparatory adjustment for your planet, allowing for a relatively mild transition as much higher octaves of vibratory reality merge with the archaic consciousness, which is presently solidifying. Your atmosphere needs constant manipulation to keep it from, quite literally, crystallizing.

You are being made ready to adjust to existence within the realms of full light spectrum. You are actually transmuting, to allow the final emergence. This is quite natural; even those who express upon your plane as the animal kingdom and the planet kingdom are experiencing the effects. It really takes very little thought to know if the sun is shining.

What is important here is your ability to function within the expanded light spectrum, for as your evolution is accelerated, you will come closer to the goal of reuniting with the higher octaves. Simply, you are completing the dream—you are waking up.

Thought creates reality. You must accept the simple truth that you draw your own experiences to you. When thought is embraced with emotions, it creates! If we passionately express a thought in chaos, it will bring chaos. Like draws like.

There is an Armageddon, of sorts, that is already occurring in your Heavens. Some people will experience the manifestation of their thoughts almost instantaneously, as the artificial time and space matrix continues to collapse. Your chromosomes are being adjusted to accommodate the incoming Christ Consciousness.

God promises peace on Earth. You can draw close to God by meditating on what you have learned from his word. Contemplate his activities, his advice, and his promises. Prayerful meditation builds appreciation in our heart for God’s love and wisdom.
