I feel heartened by the story of Wyoming orthopedic surgeon Mary C. Neal, author of To Heaven and Back, who was without air for 14 minutes and almost drowned during a kayaking mishap and survived.
During the 14 minutes when she died, she had what is variously called a “Near Death Experience,” in which a person is clinically dead and is revived, or a “Life After Life” experience in which a person has a Near Death Experience and discovers there is life after death.
Neal says that after she “died” she was greated by a group of loving spiritual beings who led her to a glowing hall where she would have the opportunity to choose God or not.
During her experience, she felt sad, because she was told that she would have to go back to the living to fulfil her purpose in life.
I wonder if part of that purpose was to write her book to help people to face their own inevitable end.
In the following excerpt from an online The Economist “Good Report,” Neal discusses her revelation that God has a purpose for us all:

I really liked this article on “life after life” posted on The Times of India. Remember, the predominant religion in India is the Hindu religion which believes in reincarnation. As soon as I saw the title of the article, When Your Earth Visa Expires, I knew I wanted to read it. And, as it turned out, I enjoyed the article. It spoke to me. Here’s an excerpt:

It is just that the screen is now displaying a different frequency. This is the same principle that happens when we die. Our awareness is tuned into a different frequency of creation. The Earth plane does not cease to exist, but for the person who has passed on, the frequency of awareness has shifted. The reality they perceive is now different.Similarly, for those on Earth, the person seems to have gone, but in reality the soul has just moved onto another frequency of awareness. It leaves behind the empty human body, a kind of virtual reality device, through which the soul experienced life on the Earth.The opposite of life is not death.
The opposite of birth is death. Life is eternal. Birth and death are just entry and exit points of incarnations.
It makes me happy that people who attend my presentations on Atlantis give me feedback that they especially appreciate the information on “life after life” in those seminars. The topic of the afterlife comes up when discussing reincarnation and the history of the soul on earth. I will be talking about these concepts during my speaking events in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, in April.
