How to Survive a Near Death Experience

By John Smith

This book was written from the events that took place from 1995 till the present day, with a lot of questions I have had as I grew up. Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life?

I searched the Scriptures and completed my doctorate,, hoping to find these answers, but they only came when I had my first NDE in 1995. I was told this is the only way you can learn the answers to these questions, so I listened. I was told at the beginning that if you go to court to get justice, all you get is law.

This book will speak to readers in many different ways, because what is necessarily true on one level is not necessarily true on another, in other levels we not only see horizontal but vertical as well.

Revelation 3:1To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

The very thought that a you can be dead and not know it is very disturbing; the possibility that man being dead while he is alive is very startling.

All these things were explained to me, I hope you can find the truth of them also.

CHAPTER 1

WHAT IS DEATH?

To us death is the loss of life, not to see loved ones anymore or the loss of being who you are.

It symbolizes the end of your existence as you know it. But once you have faced it or experienced it you realize there is no death, only separation.

Your religious beliefs affect the way you see the next world, how it is created for you from you. We are told heaven is within and you take your concept of it with you when we die.

"Yes, It’s is all about you".

Your life as you live now.

To some people death is just a change like walking out of the house into the street, the transition is not felt, no loss of consciousness, no dark tunnel with light at the end, some find themselves still in the world before moving on.

There are many movies that have tried to express this, city of the dead, sixth sense, lost horizons, and what dreams may come, lost horizons in the early 1930’s and 60’s gave us the first idea of this, in its explanation of Shangri La.

For me it was just a moment of consciousness like waking from a dream. I just stood in the dark, looking into the light, I was asked did I want to come in, I said no after a while thinking and looking, and I was once again conscious of being in my body.

The first casualty in death is your beliefs.

Death is a
