Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How True Are Individual After-Death Experiences?

By Adolph Humor

It seems that reports of after-death experiences are becoming more and more common. In cases of after-death experiences, people endure serious injuries or medical problems that such that they are pronounced dead by doctors. However, some of these people regain consciousness, and when they do they sometimes describe having seen a variety of phenomena as they neared death.

To make things more interesting, the descriptions of these experiences often share many things in common. Such experiences happen when the person has no pulse or breathing pattern, which means that according to medical science, they can be considered dead.

People who have these experiences report seeing lights, followed by images of their loved ones and family members. They say that they feel as if they were traveling down a tunnel, and all have said that they were totally at peace during the whole experience and felt no fear at all.

Many people believe that because there are so many common elements between different reports of after-death experiences, there must be some truth to them. They say that since people seem to be experiencing the same thing, it must be based in truth.

The scientific community, however, is not convinced by the stories. While they don't doubt that these people did experience these things, they say that the visions can be explained naturally; the tunnel vision is caused by a lack of blood to the retinas, while the visions can be caused by the brain reacting to a high-stress situation.

Many victims of near-death experiences still claim, however, that they're sure they were having a supernatural experience.

We may never even learn the truth about near-death experiences, and if we do, it likely won't be anytime soon. We may have to wait until the moment we pass on ourselves before we understand what these experiences truly represent.

In the meantime, doctors and scientists will continue to study these experiences, as they present a very interesting example of a part of our world that has yet to be explained for sure.
