Let's talk about death and dying

[Diane Goble]

This subject has been kept in the closet for far too long. People have all kinds of different ideas about whether there even is an afterlife and if there is, what it might be like. Is it the Heaven and Hell the Bible talks about? Is it resting in unconsciousness until a judgement day? Do we ever see our loved ones again? Are some rewarded and others condemned to eternal punishment? What is karma? Do we reincarnate or only have one life to live?

Now you have an opportunity to talk to a near death/afterlife experiencer about her perspectives on death, dying, and the afterlife. You can stick to your religious teachings or you can open your mind to the possibility that we are spiritual beings having human being experiences and that there is more to life than we've been led to believe.

Hi Diane,

Just a quick note to thank you for providing this forum and the transition guide course. I am looking forward to getting started next month!

Peace and love,

I saw you on CMN and thought it would be interesting to dialogue about this. As i am with my mother, who is in Alzhiemers, i'm aware of several levels of death (especially since my own memory is getting patchy as well), and i've also been nearly dead (two weeks in a coma) from cerebral malaria -- and although i remember no tunnels or beings of light or wonderful revelations, i still have a deep sense that dying is not something to be afraid of. But i wonder if it is possible to use the imminence of death, due to age, disease, dementia, to stimulate the out-of-body experiences such as you had, which will make the transition more assuredly smooth. If we learned to be in touch with our Self which moves through incarnation after incarnation on its path back to the One, of course it will all be easier, in the Light. But that assurance is illusive in practicality, if not in theory. What's your take?
