Dear Friends
Easter season - a time that gets us to think
about what happens after death.
A topic that is relevant to everyone!
The blog of March 30 offered a first reflection
about these three books on the afterlife:
Today I'd like to share bit about
"Evidence of the Afterlife" by Dr Jeffrey Long.
This book looks at the scientific evidence about afterlife experiences.
Dr Long is a medical scientist. His father was a onetime contender for a Nobel
Prize in medicine
Dr Long argues that many of the world's
problems
- drug and alcohol abuse, depression, anxiety, gang violence, religious strife,
racism etc -
could be lessened if people became more aware of near death experience
information.
Such information gives the individual more confidence and serenity for life,
and helps us realize how petty our earthly squabbles are in the light of
eternity
The research of Dr Long and other writers says
that near death experiences
include some or all of the following elements:
1. Out-of-body experiences: separation of consciousness from the physical body
2. Heightened senses
3. Intense and generally positive emotions or feelings
4. Passing into or through a tunnel
5. Encountering a mystical or brilliant light
6. Encountering other beings, either mystical beings (= angels) or deceased
relatives and friends
7. A sense of alteration of time and space
8. Life review
9. Encountering unworldly ("hevenly") realms
10. Encountering or learning special knowledge
11. Encountering a boundary or barrier
12. A return to the body, either voluntary or involuntary
Next time: a summary of some of the above
experiences
as told by people who took part in Dr Long's research
On this 11th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Hunan
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
My Bible Plan for today = the readings for Wednesday of Easter Week
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
