Back in 2006 I had a near-death-experience where I either died or came close to dying and was transported to the spirit realm, commonly called the “other side”. During the experience I was told “this what it feels like to be dead” and given the choice of returning to the living or staying there. I made the choice of coming back because of the powerful unconditional love I felt there. I knew I could continue to experience that feeling by coming back and spreading love. Since coming back I have also joined a group of others who have had NDEs. We talk about the experiences which differ some in each case. Our tendency is to conceptualize the experience using worldly terms and values. Having been there it is clear to me that the other side of death is very different from this realm. The difference is so great that we are incapable of conceptualizing what it would be like — so I just enjoy the feeling.
