actually I had been on this board previous to the NDE. I started sensing that I went obe at night and met people from this forum there and we all had plans. when I read in Bruce's books how he told of waking people up in the astral by tapping them on the shoulder and making conversation out there..I had a feeling I could do that also..it seemed familiar..I applauded what he was doing in the astral and I knew his behavior out there was no different than the way he travels to different countries and teaches what he has learned. I might have been one of the folks he woke up in the astral; lol...I float around out there and I finally found someone who wasn't just a commercial to me.
I told Bruce and the gang here about this NDE, not at length, but briefly, and Bruce said it was a belief system crash he thought. I had to admit it had a lot of crash aspects to it! but after thinking about it I realized we were both right; as this was a time when a relationship died, and I was losing my identity with the person in question. also I had been asking the universe, please tell me what it feels like to be dead and not know you are dead so I can be a better retriever of these. so it was like a combo pizza experience with all these elements to write about.  here in the NDE is what I later decided was none other than this forum with all the people, lurkers included, who work on bringing in the shift in consciousness: according to my NDE and my current understanding this forum vibrates to the 5th level, which the levels I was observing were 7. This level had a lot to do with harmony and cooperation, balance, and creativeness and the people there were always sending out helpers when those in physical were in trouble. retrievals in other words.
After the intense flight I stopped in front of an elevator. A symbol of rising, less wearisome than stairs. Cool. I checked out the fourth floor feeling chipper; after all, I had just survived death, what else could possibly go wrong? I immediately noticed I was seen here; receiving a slight nod from others caused gratitude that I was among my own kind. The fourth level was ok, a lot of calm logic going on. I craved adventure and activity so I checked out the next floor and found tons of people there. On the 5th level were organizers, promoters, speakers, artists, entertainers, environmentalists, leaders and followers, theologians, scientists, the whole works of humanity working compatibly in service to humanity. They were having fun. They knew what was going to happen on Earth and what role each of them would play. They surrounded the Earth with their care and watched over it.

question Bets; are you able to understand (this not readily understandable to some) how when you leave a relationship it can produce these death feelings and experiences?  it seems like you know what I'm talking about. hugs, alysia
