5 life-changing lessons from the Near Death Experiences of others, (Paperback)

This book is an attempt to give the readers a quick glimpse of the unknown. Death is one of the most intimidating things in this world. Death has lot of negative connotations and in most religions often seen as nefarious. Till recently, most of our knowledge and rituals pertaining to death have been obtained from religious beliefs and scriptures. Secret of death and secret of birth are two of the most heavily guarded secrets in our world. Nobody can live to tell the tales of what happens when we die. Our ignorance renders us ill equipped to truly assist one who has stepped beyond our borders into the unknown. Furthermore in trying to escape from the fear which emanates from this ignorance, we have developed an attitude that death happens only to others, not to us. When it comes to one's own death, no one seems to look forward to it. If our beliefs, we have unknowingly created a gulf between life and death - considering one a blessing, and other a curse.Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev says, "Death is a cosmic joke. If you get the joke, when you fall on the other side, it will be wonderful. If you don't get the joke, when you are here you fear the other side, and when the other side comes, you just don't know what it is about. If death becomes a laughing matter in your life, life becomes utterly effortless process."Practically speaking, near death experience (NDE) is the closest one can get to death and live to tell the tale. Not only do the NDErs get the experience of what death feels like, it also exposes them to other life changing truths about their own self. Near death experience isn't given just to those who have the experience but to all of us as we all can learn from the lesson taught to someone. Not all of us need to go to the painful trauma to learn the lessons. We can learn and grow from these lessons. It is often said that you should learn from the mistakes of others. You may never live long enough to make them all yourself. We can apply these lessons in our daily lives and truly transform ourselves.
