After having a near-death experience, the majority of people around the world say that they feel more spiritual, which they define as feeling close to other people, nature, the universe, and the Divine.

People frequently inquire about whether near-death experiences demonstrate our ability to survive death.

They don't give verification to others.

They provide evidence for the experienced individual, but not for the rest of us.

However, there are some experiences that, if not proof, provide something that is at least evidence.

Additionally, these are situations in which the person experiencing the experience comes into contact with a deceased person whose death was unknown at the time.

Jack, a person I know, was hospitalized in his mid-20s and had a single nurse working with him every day.

Additionally, she informed him one day that other nurses would be filling in for her over the long weekend.

He also went into another respiratory arrest while she was gone, which necessitated his resuscitation.

Furthermore, during that capture, he had a brush with death

in which he wound up in a wonderful peaceful scene,

furthermore, there shockingly was this attendant, Anita,

strolling towards him and she said,

"Jack, you can't remain here with me.

You want to return into your body.

Additionally, I want you to locate my parents and convey my love for them as well as my regret for wrecking the red MGB.

After that, he tried to tell the first nurse who entered his room that he had regained consciousness and was back in his hospital bed.

She left the room quickly after becoming extremely enraged.

It turned out that his nurse Anita had taken the weekend off to celebrate her birthday, and on her 21st birthday, her parents had given her a red MGB as a gift.

She got very excited, got in the car, and went for a drive. A few hours before Jack's near-death experience, she lost control, crashed into a telephone pole, and died.

He had no way of knowing or anticipating that she would pass away.

Also, he couldn't possibly have known how she died, yet he did.

Furthermore, that is by all accounts proof that something

about this medical caretaker, Anita, actually endured after her demise,

furthermore, had the option to convey precise data to Jack.

Does that imply that we are immortal?

Necessarily not.

It certainly indicates that our minds can survive physical death, at least temporarily.

I've spoken with nearly every person who has had a near-death experience and they all agreed that we do continue after death.

They say that they lived without their bodies, no matter how they describe their NDE.

despite the fact that their physical bodies were nearly dead, they were feeling better than ever.

To explain these events, there must be more to the world than just the physical world.

The ultimate question posed by near-death experiences, in my opinion, is: What are we as individuals?

Are we merely mechanical objects?

Are we beings of the spirit?

Is it true that we are some mixture of both?

I don't have a clue about the responses, yet presently I'm significantly more agreeable

with not having the responses.

I believe that the most significant aspect of near-death experiences is what they reveal about our current life.

that we are all linked together.

that we are not individuals, but rather a part of something larger than ourselves.
