First of all, death is permanent.
Do you have proof of this?
You're free to hold your own beliefs.... but this isn't true

Okee-Dokee! Thank you for your thoughts.
I don't have any fear of God. And, sorry, but I don't see death as a bad thing. That doesn't mean I'm going to try to kill myself.
If you don't want to study NDE's for the valuable information they contain - then don't.
Thanks for your opinion.
Why do some people die young?

Yes. When someone I know dies, I never see them again. Their corpse goes into the ground never to rise. They cease to exist. What's your proof?

After my NDE a few years ago, I have never been the same. I look at things differently now, almost to the point of no joy, and I feel like I am a "third wheel", so to speak - like something in inherently wrong, but I can't put my finger on it...

Something is inherently wrong here. You are in between and know there is something more. Knowing to much can be like that and I am myself also mostly hanging on. Have you ever meditated enought to get our chakras to work? If you have not you can always try that and see if you at least can reach the bliss so you have constant proof.

i suppose anything is possible... Buddha remembered being many different things in his past lives...
But why would you want to return to this world as something less then what you are? You know flies eat feces right?
By the way... i don't kill flies... i've lost the ability to kill anything aside from mosquitos (they attack first )

Its all over the world... the experiences vary though... My mother saw her father after he passed... and so did my gramma.
Though i have never actually seen a "ghost" or spirit... i know they exist.
Every religion is based on one thing... life after death.
You could take a look over THIS thread as well...

As it was explained to me, it is because their sentence is over. The rest of us must endure more jail time.

I just wish we could know that they make it safely to the other side and that they are healthy and happy.
Also, it's not my goal to treat your beliefs with contempt. I once considered myself Christian, Buddhist, New Age, and still consider them an integral part of my philosophical development, but why should we stop there as if they were the be-all and end-all. Doing so, in my opinion, limits the progress of mankind. This is my angle and I know it seems crude, but a blank canvas for me is more important than a full one.

Synchronicity. Realisation that something can make me hear things that no others hear if wants. Have only happened ones time in my life but it was enought and the sound was very informative. Things sensed with touch that are not seen in third dimensional space. Personal proof yes but information on the effects is in Christianety, Buddism and Hinduism. It is hard not to belive in invisable friends when the answer you.

I don't consider myself any of those actually... just labels. Religious study is more of a hobby of mine.
Religion definately limits progress in many ways... but it has its uses for some.
But scripture holds the keys to everything.
