Near Life Experiences: Reflections by Allison Orton: Reflections by Allison Orton

NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCES


Near Life Experiences is a loving expression of my connection with the sacredness of life.
The book is an offering, a portal, for all those with similar connections, who experience
more than the normally accepted perception of life. It is my belief that we are all connected
in ways that cannot be explained by common daily experience.

My life in the Sierra Foothills with my son, husband and many critters has provided space for
the writing and expression of what has been growing inside to offer for many years. Since the
writing of this book, this sensitivity has brought me a foreknowing of the Tsunami of 2000,
Katrina, the invasion of Iraq, and more. I would like all those who have had similar pre-
knowings to feel a part of the loving whole, rather than apart from it. We need to grow
and expand with our deep awareness, and not withdraw and diminish. To offer all or what we
are to the universe is what our calling is. This blessing is my heart's`deepest desire.

Foreword

I have known Allison Orton for over 25 years and have always appreciated her sensitivity. However, after reading her Near Life Experiences, I realize that her sensitivity is the by-product of something profound.

At an early age, Allison was given a spiritual initiation that has left its mark on her, her life, and everyone in her circle of friends. The sensitivity that I had always sensed may be as much a burden as it is a blessing in Allison’s life. She sees into the future, and that sight may not always bring pleasant visions. In fact, Allison has seen people passing over before their transition has actually occurred. This sight is part of what makes Allison so very special.

When reading Near Life Experiences, you will immediately realize that you are in the presence of a woman who knows no other path than honesty. Her honesty, coupled with her child-like innocence, makes the material both compelling and confrontive. If what Allison says is true, which readers will certainly know is the case, then we are asked to re-evaluate our take on the everyday lives we live. We need to rethink reality and give the spiritual realm a significant place in our worldview.

The paradigm in which Allison lives, and into which we are drawn through her book, demands that we acknowledge clairvoyance and invisible connections that entwine us as if everyone on Earth were linked by wires. Her candor and matter-of-fact delivery can only impress you that there may be areas of life that you haven’t looked at closely enough. Orton’s fresh and simple approach to life has got to leave you feeling less afraid and more hopeful about the future. Her book is nothing less than a spiritual invitation to explore the divine nature of the universe.

Of course, after the invitation has been sent, it is up to you whether or not you decide to attend the party.

Early Hints

Almost leaving the planet before the age of nine probably brought me to the greatest near-life experience I may ever have while here on earth. Yes, right along with the well known white light, I experienced the vast, expansive, all permeating light energy.

The ever growing loss of self into the allness of what really is was the most profound awareness of my experience. Its encompassing presence of equanimity and calm, as I returned to that place in my thought and heart, is totally freeing. Let me regress and explain how I arrived at this place. Being the only girl in a very male dominated, from my perspective, family of four children I had become quite the tom-boy. Observing my mother and her life of total servitude and relative non-gratification, I was already forming strong ideas of what I would not be! Being the least bit frail, or vulnerable in any situation was a no-option place for me. High exploration, dares, and little regard for common sense was my mode for operandi. I was convinced I could do anything I wanted or needed to do.

One day, a girl friend and I were exploring an old garage, which belonged to another house at the end of a common driveway to my house. We decided to climb up on its roof. One side of the roof dropped down to a green meadow with fruit trees in it. It had about a four foot drop to the meadow. The roof then ascended to a sharp apex. The other side stopped short after about six feet of composition shingles leading to the fourteen foot plunge onto the asphalt driveway.

My girl friend jumped off the roof onto the meadow and yelled, Come on, lets go to my house. I climbed down on the meadow side of the roof and decided not to chance the jump, having already broken each of my wrists in previous adventures. So, back up the steep facet I climbed. The other side of the roof, the six foot side, had a tree with sprawling branches near it that almost seemed to stretch to the edge of the roof. I got as close to the edge as I dared to size up the possibility of getting back down to tierra firma. The possibility began to appear quite dubious. Turning around, I headed back up to the apex of the roof. I crawled on my hands and knees because at this point I was beginning to freeze up in fear,
