Insights from Near Death Experiences |
|
What we learn from NDEs about Heaven: Studies of people who have actually been clinical dead and been to the other side in the near death experience reveals that as we cannot interpreted God in a narrow way, so we also cannot interpret experiences of Heaven in a manner that is exclusive to one particular religion. This is something that becomes evident when cross-cultural research of near death experiences is compared. While most people describe meeting a "being of light" in different cultures when people meet or see different religious figures these meetings will be according to their specific religious tradition: some Christians will meet Jesus while e.g. Buddhist will meet Yama, the Lord of Death, or another Buddhist figure. The Research from thousands of cases of near death experiences also tells us what heaven is like in the form of a more non-physical than physical and entry into the heavens above fits with a religious understanding of returning to source if we see God as the ground of being. As this ground of being is often referred to as the being of light so we also find in the near death experience that most commonly heaven is described as "the Light" rather than a physical place.
