Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00295)

Leonardo,

Thank you for your post on your NDE. I've read quite a few of them and for some reason you're perspective hit home for me. The whole part about laughing when you came back must have done it because it sounds like what I would do (grin). I also enjoyed your viewpoint on choosing things in advance in this life to learn certain lessons and your point about how if we make mistakes that ok - we'll learn what we need to anyway in the future. I have often found that things in my life have seemed to be predestined to large extent. Many Theosophists say that things are just automatic and you don;t really "choose" anything when you come into this life - you are just attracted to the circumstances that fit you. I disagree. Intuitively I feel that we do choose things for this life - and your experience seems to give validity to that viewpoint. 

Thanks again for your post. I also liked your ending summary which I've included below.

So, in spite of what anyone else thinks they know about dying, it's 
still 
nothing to be fearful of. Take it from someone who has been there and 
back (and 
kind of enjoyed it, and really didn't want to leave while I was there).

Best wishes,

Leonardo
