9 9 "A man is dying and as he reaches the point of greatest physical distress he hears himself pronounced dead by his doctor. He begins to hear an uncomfortable noise, a loud ringing and buzzing and at the same time feels himself moving very rapidly through a long dark tunnel. After this he suddenly finds himself, outside his own physical body but still in the immediate physical environment and he see his own body from a distance as though he is a spectator. He watches the resuscitation attempt from this vantage point and is in the state unusual of loving upheaval emotional. After a while he collects himself and becomes more accustomed to his odd condition. He notices that he still has a body but one of a very different nature and with very different powers from the physical body as he has left behind. Soon other things begin to happen. Others come to meet and to help him. He glimpses the spirits of relatives and friends who have already died, and warm, spirit of a kind he has never encountered before, a beam of light appears before him. This being asks him a question nonverbally to make him evaluate his life and help him along by showing him a panoramic instantaneous play back of the major eventsofhislife. At some point he finds himself approaching some sort of barrier or border, apparently representing the limit between earthly life and the next life. Yet, he finds that he must go back to the earth and the time for this death has not yet come. At this point, he resists, for by now he is taken up with his experiences in the afterlife and does not want to return. He is overwhelmed by intense feelings of joy, love and peace. Despite his attitude, through, he is somehow reunites with his physical body and lives. Later he tries to tell others, but he has trouble doing so. In the first place, he can find no human words adequate to describe these unearthly episodes. He also finds that others scoff, so he stops telling other people. Still, the experience effects his life profoundly, especially, his views about death and its relationshipstolife.
