Short, but to the point message from a man who tried to commit suicide and experienced "the other side".
Love is what it's all about.

DEATH: A STORY:

My thoughts on the here after:
I read many books on the matter of death and dying. I have read about and also watched many Youtube videos on near death experiences. I also took care of many dying people when I was in the medical field and held the hand of several as they passed away.
Can you be certain without a doubt that YOU will die and there is nothing else?
If man is a conscious being, is it fair to say that our conscious energy will remain as such....energy?
All life form at some point dies and the molecules breakdown, nevertheless, these atoms are energy.
But what about our consciousness? Is it limited to brain matter and nothing more?
This is why I love Kabbalah...the old traditional Kabbalah that is not of the new age sort.
Kabbalah is for anyone and it is not a religion, although it does have moral concepts. It is a science of sorts as well as explaining phenomena. Kabbalah has been around for a very long time...some say several thousand years and some say even from the time of the Hebrews at Mt. Sinai.
The hardest thing for many people about God is the issue of injustice and/or pain.
Many Jews left God because of the Holocaust. They asked as many do ask, "if there is a God, how could He allow such pain and injustice?"
Several religions try to answer this question. Buddhism explains that this is the way of Karma. Judaism and Kabbalah also have a similar view.
Most would say that we just don't know all the answers and truly we do not know all the answers.
Cruel as things happen to some people, we must realize that we are here on earth, a realm of flesh and blood and material things. We also must realize that we have a choice, a free will to a certain extent.
Let me ask you...have you ever had an experience or experiences that seem way too coincidental?
I have. I have had many of these type of things. For instance, I ran out of gas once and I had my oldest daughter with me who was 2 yrs old at the time. We were stranded and I didn't have any money. Just when I had gotten out of my stalled car and wondered what the heck I was going to do, a man came along and asked if I needed help. He went to a gas station for me, got a gallon of gas for me and never wanted me to pay him. The man had a Salvation Army uniform on. This was one of many types of incidents that happened to me. Right time, right place? Or a guiding hand to help from beyond....
There are some commonalities in the NDE (near death experiences) that I have noticed when watching video accounts. People who pass away briefly enter into a bright light, see loved ones who have passed before them, and a great feeling of love. It doesn't matter if the person is Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or even atheist....people who have had the NDE have come back to tell about their experiences and it changed their lives. No longer did they fear death.
I have also seen NDE videos where some people were great sinners and completely selfish and lived horrible lives who came back to tell about darkness, fear, demons, and crying out to be saved from the wretched darkness and alone-ness. These people came back and changed their attitudes, beliefs, and lifestyle.
I recall a man who told about how he was involved with drugs and didn't care much about spiritual matters. He overdosed and came back to tell about his NDE. He told about these horrible feelings as he was in complete darkness separated from God. He changed his tune and became a Rabbi!
I have heard and read articles about science/doctors trying to explain away NDE' and saying that the brain will behave in certain ways before death. But, that doesn't explain accounts of people on an operating table able to see things that they wouldn't necessarily see standing in the room, never mind lying on a table knocked out!
If I had the thought and attitude that there is no God and that when we die, we die...then why live? Why be nice to people? Why try to accomplish anything? Why bother with it all? I probably would find myself moping around and being bitter. But, thankfully, I have chosen to belief in something greater than myself and to believe that I will exist after my body dies. I am aging...everyone does...and when that time comes...I plan on having a great time on the other side.
