Some Feedback

In response to the last blog post I wrote–what if death doesn’t truly kill us–someone wrote to me on Facebook:

“Death is a simply part of the cycle of life. It is no more or no less dramatic than birth. It’s all part of a continuum, like the seasons we experience on earth. Nothing ever really dies, it only changes form.”

I wrote:

I believe this very strongly, especially after having spoken to near-death experiencers. But the media portrays such a different story, stirring up the fear.

She wrote:

“I’ve had my own near death encounter, so it’s not a belief, it’s a knowing. It’s amazing what such an experience does for one’s reality…like living in a world apart at times.”

I think it’s important to note that while the media drones on about the awfulness of death, making great soap operas out of the plight of anyone who dies, there are millions of people who have had near-death experiences for whom the prospect of dying is about as scary as waking up from a dream.

Those millions can step out of Idea Jail on the death front.
