Near-death experience
A near-death experience is an experience "close to" death, that is, almost dead, so to speak.
One could also express it in such a way that life itself is a continuous near-death experience, whereby the almost dead person just got away again.
The possibility to die now, in this moment, that is absolutely real, just as the chances stand for a survival, at least at the end one dies.
The religions of this world search for explanations for the fate "after death", was it that, or is there the paradise after all? Buddhism differs from monotheistic world views in that everyone involved can experience his "enlightenment", is not at the mercy of a spiritual elite.
The near-death experience is felt especially in life-threatening situations; witnesses report similar problems in their stories. One day we will all have such a near-death experience, which will then turn into a death experience, then when we die. Tunnel situations occur frequently, light apparitions occur, encounters with deceased friends or relatives creep out the audience in any horror movie.
There are plenty of opinions about it, the explanations are spiritual approaches and horror stories, film and art have invented the shudder as a genre, in any case, such an experience also impresses the psyche of those affected, dying is just something very personal.
The whole life is a simple near-death experience, because each of us has died several times FAST, often without knowing it, our privacy is vulnerable, we know our fate.
Is there a continuation of life after death, humanity wonders all the time? Will we, one way or another, live on after death? The mostly religious hope for a paradise has lost credibility, consciousness has emancipated itself.
Near-death experiences have also inspired the authors in Buddhism, the persistence beyond death forms the nucleus of the doctrine of rebirth. For to be born again the consciousness should survive at least in parts.
The experiences are mostly without body, here only the spirit ghosts without entering the beyond. What does the future bring, what will we go through? And how was the return after the near-death experience?
Have you ever almost died? And what would be your true feelings? Where did we come from, where will we go?
Such an experience gives the experience of time and space as one, which can also be a good lesson for further survival.
Either you start believing after such an experience, or you start asking questions about the meaning. In any case Buddhism has suitable answers.
The way is the goal!
To start anew at a warm destination after death
