Some people believe the soul lives on after the physical body dies. It may be difficult to fathom, but many people have visited the “other side” during a NDE and returned to share their amazing insight.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages.

No one can prove a NDE with physical evidence, so it’s natural to be skeptical about the phenomenon. The FAQ page of the NDERF site contains helpful information, including answers to common concerns.

We read through the case history database and found what we believe are the most interesting parts to share with our readers. Click on the case history name if you’d like to read the entire case on the NDERF site.

William Si NDE 541/2043 experienced clinical death after a surgery related heart attack. During his NDE he sensed souls in the shadows and felt it was mostly due to their religious indoctrination and negative actions on Earth that caused them to believe they weren’t worthy of the Light. When they forgive themselves they will return to the Light.

William was also able to see four old friends he had had on Earth. They were all killed in a car wreck when hit by a drunk driver. The drunk driver was also there; his friends had forgiven him and, “All five of them knew and agreed that their missions on this earth ended on that particular night.”

He also mentioned that according to his religion, his four friends shouldn’t have been in heaven because they were gay. But there they were without shame or guilt. William said society and his religion had the problem, not his friends who were good people.

Karen S NDE 10058 “died” in a car accident. During her NDE, she experienced overwhelming love and acceptance from her guides. They told her about the accident and that it was her time to come home. But then she remembered her seven month-old son and panicked. She worried that his father didn’t know how to take care of him and didn’t want him raised by his father’s parents.

Her guides tried to help her understand it was her time, but she refused to accept it. Finally, a higher spirit arrived, calmed her, and allowed her to return. However, before she returned to Earth she understood that her family and friends had lessons they were meant to learn from her death that were being postponed. They would need to learn those lessons eventually.

She also saw that arrangements were made for how, where, and when her Earthly body would “die” a final time and her soul would return to the other side. But that information was erased from her memory because if she knew those details she’d focus on them too much.

Lisa M NDE 169, who died from drowning, gives a description of her entrance to the other side that is common among NDEs: “In the midst of the light, stood a male figure. It was radiating this light, and radiating this totally unearthly complete unconditional Love. I was embraced by this being, or enveloped in its light, which felt like an embrace. Suddenly I remembered this place. This was my home, the place that was really my home, and I wondered how I could’ve ever forgotten about it. I felt as though after a long, difficult journey in a foreign country I finally had come home, and the being of light who was there before me was the being that knew me better than anyone else in creation.”

Lisa also said the being of Light knew everything she had ever thought, said, or done, and showed her all the details in her life review. The past and future was there for her to see, including everything, the positive and negative, and how she had influenced others and they her. Lisa said, “I could experience the feelings and thoughts of all the other people involved myself, almost become them, which gave me pure experiential understanding of what brought other people pain, or joy, the positive or negative experiences and effects of my own actions.”

As in so many NDE’s, Lisa speaks of the idea that everything comes back to you, including the effects of how you treat others. It’s a good reminder to treat others as you want to be treated.

Have you ever wondered what will happen after the death of your physical body? Some believe they will cease to exist. Others, who had a NDE (near death experience), returned to the living to share their insight from the other side, what happened when their physical body “died,” yet their soul continued living.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages.

It’s reasonable to question metaphysical concepts, and the FAQ page of the NDERF site addresses common questions and has useful information about NDEs.

We read through the NDE accounts on the NDERF site and selected those we found most informative to share with you. Click on the name in each section below if you’d like to read the full case history.

Leonard NDE 4046 had a heart attack and experienced a painful life review during his NDE. He said he can’t imagine the pain Adolf Hitler felt during his. Leonard was shown when he did things unconditionally, and when he did unloving things. He even saw himself stealing candy from a shop, thinking to himself that nobody saw him do it. “Indeed,” he said, “somebody saw me. Yes, God saw me!” However, he realized during his life review that God doesn’t judge, but loves with an indescribable unconditional love that goes way beyond what we feel on Earth.

He also said that he and his guides laughed about how seriously he reacted to certain events on Earth; life doesn’t need to be so dramatic.

In addition, Leonard learned that we lose the memory of who we are each time we incarnate, there are billions of universes, and we may choose to incarnate on other planets besides Earth. Our findings reflect this as well.

Stella NDE 3697. Most souls who experience a NDE feel so wonderful on the other side that they don’t want to return to their restrictive bodies and lives on Earth. But don’t they want to return to their loved ones? Many do, especially such as when their children need their help back on Earth. However, when Stella protested with her guide about returning to Earth, he asked her if she missed her mother and father. She said no, because she will see them again soon (since time doesn’t exist there).

Stella’s guide showed her life to her like a journey. There were important, destined events symbolized by marble statues, while others were of soft clay, meaning it was possible to use free will to alter them. She realized that, “A series of free will choices and reactions to events determines the conditions to find the destination or to miss it. It is so free that one can always try and try again: it doesn’t matter how long it takes or where it happens, time and space do not exist, the only important thing is to ‘meet the conditions’ to arrive at the proper destination.”

Linda G NDE 3649 experienced her NDE during a drug overdose. Like most others, she said the other side felt like home and she didn’t want to leave. Still, she asked God if she could return to Earth because her kids lost their father to suicide the year before and she couldn’t bear the thought of them thinking their parents didn’t love them enough to stay. She was allowed to return because it was unselfish and she wanted it so desperately.

She was told that upon her return to Earth, she would forget all she had learned on the other side because it would interfere with her life. This is common, yet some souls remember a lot of details when back on Earth, sometimes in order to help others with the insight.

She did remember that everyone goes to Earth to fulfill a goal of some kind, and we choose our bodies, parents, and life plan. Surprisingly, she said that some souls go to Earth with simple goals, such as for the food or to learn a sport.

She also learned that each life is, “just a drop of water in the bucket of lives which we all experience, many here on Earth and many in other realms of existence. All for learning and growth and the main purpose is to love.”

What happens after death? Is that it, or does heaven really exist? We can find clues from the NDEs (near death experiences) of many people who returned from the dead to give their fascinating accounts of insight from the other side.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages.

Skepticism about NDEs is normal, and the NDERF FAQ page has a lot of helpful information, including answers to the most popular questions about the subject.

We read through their case histories and found what we believe are some of the most interesting to share with you. Click on the case history name in each section to read the entire case history on the NDERF site.

Amy C NDE 4720 lost much of what she saw during her NDE, but remembers the main ideas, such as about planet Earth. She saw crops and was told that the food has been altered and poisoned. She felt sad and concerned about this and was told again and again that people should “return to the Earth,” and that when she went back to Earth she should look for “pure food, unadulterated.”

Amy said she never felt judged during her life review, even though she said she’s hurt many people by losing her temper, being cruel, and having trouble with forgiveness. The life review for Amy was an incredible opportunity to understand and love herself, and feel what others around her felt. She said, “I understood how everything I did, said, and even thought had touched others around me in one way or another. I was able to even enter the minds and emotional centers of many who had been around me, and understand where they were coming from in their own thinking. How their own personal views and life experiences had brought them to the places each stood.” Through this experience, she could feel their unique struggles, fears, need for love and approval, confusion, “…and more than anything, I could feel how child-like everyone was.” Instead of taking others actions personally like most on Earth tend to do, she was able to feel as a loving mother would towards her toddler children.

The idea of being able to feel and experience on the other side exactly what others do due to your actions is one of the key recurring themes of NDEs. Think of how differently people would treat one another if they fully expected a life review!

Amy said the spiritual helpers on the other side, or “Elders” as she calls them, souls who have evolved and mastered their earthly tests, greatly value humor. She’s not the only person who has reported this from a NDE, and how humans take themselves too seriously at times while incarnated. She said it may seem annoying they find humor in our Earth dramas, but they are not laughing at us. Instead, “…the Elders view these things very much like when a mother sees her two year-old scream and cry and bop another child on the head with a stuffed animal. The mother doesn’t want her child to fall apart, become hysterical and cry. She feels for her child, but at the same time, she sees a little bit of comedy in how seriously the child takes what is usually a trivial drama. She continues to love her child and thinks the world of it, hoping it will go on enjoying the day, living and learning.”

Many people fear, after reading or hearing about NDEs and the concept, that their guides see everything they do and say, and that they are constantly under the microscope and judged for every little action. Amy said before her NDE she always felt guilt for her mistakes and like she was being watched with “severe or at least stern eyes.” She worried that she was a disappointment to God or angels. But her NDE made her realize that’s not the way it is: “So getting the chance to view others from a much higher frequency was wonderful, to say the least. And knowing how much Love I felt as I watched or sensed others’ in their personal situations, made me want to live more in joy rather than guilt and worry. No one was mad at me.”

Does God exist and if so, what is he or she really like? Many who have experienced a NDE, no matter what religion they are or even if they are atheist or agnostic, perceived God in a similar way (after they go beyond the initial stages of a NDE where guides tend to present themselves as what is comfortable or familiar for the person). Rather than a judging old man in a robe, they tend to sense God as Amy did: “At NDE, God was the Mind, or maybe I’d say, ‘The Order’ in all things. God felt to be the Supreme Highest Vibration and Frequency, that felt like more of an ESSENCE than an old man, to me. But I still feel God is ineffable. God was all around and in everything. God no longer felt male to me. I didn’t sense a gender, if there was one. The idea of that just seemed silly from the Other Side. God was just all that is beautiful and peaceful and One, and all that is Good.”

Finally, though she remembered more details than most NDEs, Amy said that she suspects much of the memory of her NDE was pulled from her because even what she does remember of it is painful in that it makes her yearn to return, and she isn’t meant to yet.

What happens to the soul during a near death experience (NDE)? Many have returned to life after being clinically dead and shared amazing insight from the other side.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages.

What about proof? How do we know these people aren’t making up these stories? Couldn’t it just be their imagination? Skepticism is healthy, and the NDERF FAQ page contains lots of helpful information and addresses any skepticism you may have.

We share below what we believe are the most captivating NDE accounts on the NDERF site. Click on the name in each section if you’d like to read the entire case history on the NDERF site.

Amy C NDE 4720 “died” from an allergic reaction to medication. After leaving her body, she found herself in a room full of souls who all seemed to be quite troubled and could sense how each of them had “died.” She asked a Latino man, who she somehow knew had been a truck driver and “died” in a truck accident, and was like a guide for the group, why he was there. He told her he had mastered humility, and she could feel that. He said he was there to help teach the importance of humility to the group since they had all blocked their progression and failed to learn their lessons by being too self-absorbed.

Our findings show it’s very common for souls to choose to endure tough lessons in order to learn and grow.

He also told her that they had all been careless with their own lives through selfish risks like drug use, drunk driving, and other ways, which she was told is a form of suicide. The guide explained that they wouldn’t be punished for their failures, but instead will rest and learn what they needed to understand. Unfortunately, learning without a body, “is like learning to get over an addiction to drugs with no opportunity to do the drugs! Or like learning to love one’s own enemy without having enemies to deal with.” In other words, it’s much easier to learn lessons while incarnated, so it’s important not to waste opportunities on Earth.

Based on the experience observing those troubled souls, Amy said she was shocked how “earthly” people can be in certain dimensions on the other side. Sudden enlightenment is not automatic for all souls.

Amy’s statement about how sudden enlightenment isn’t automatic for everyone who crosses over makes sense. You carry with you what you’ve earned in each life (including conscious awareness through right action and discipline) and nobody “gifts” you anything, despite how it may appear.

Why had she arrived after her “death” at that area full of self-absorbed and blocked souls who had created their own demise? She admitted she had taken, for many years, strong medications for health problems that were killing her. She had perceived herself as a helpless victim, rather than realizing her power to transform within. Due to the pain and medications, she became self-absorbed and stationary in her personal progress. By observing these unfortunate souls and experiencing so much love and insight on the other side, she was able to let go of all the labels doctors gave her for her health problems, take responsibility for her situation, and heal herself.

After the room of troubled souls, Amy traveled upward and could feel her vibration and frequency changing. She was given a lot of information, much of which she cannot remember, but she believes a lot of it was about law and order of the Universe, that there is a “perfect kind of math” in everything that existed, and how the stars hold a sort of “mathematical key” to all that is. She was also told that many have known about the hidden keys in the stars (presumably, astrology, numerology, and other esoteric sciences), but they’ve been, “corrupted and turned into things of ill or trivial purpose in most cases on our planet.” But also that many were working to bring the knowledge of related systems to purity.

During Amy’s life on Earth, she was taught that everyone had only one life to live. But she couldn’t make sense of why some people suffered so much, while others seemed to live incredibly blessed lives. It seemed unjust and crazy to her. When she asked religious leaders for answers, they gave her answers she felt were weak.

During her NDE, however, she realized that most humans have lived much longer (i.e., multiple lifetimes) than they can even imagine. Also, nothing is by accident or chance, and souls choose their lifetimes. She also learned that one cannot assume suffering is always from bad deeds. There are many reasons souls chose their experiences, such as what it awakens in them, or how they can help others from that place.

The notion that suffering isn’t always from bad deeds (i.e., karma) is vital, and our findings repeatedly support this theory.

Amy said, “God doesn’t just get to toy with us as He pleases with random ideas of tests, including rewards and punishments that just depend upon His current mood or mindset. Because even who God is, is within those Laws. While in this experience, out in the vast expanse of stars, planets, moons, and Intelligence, I Knew complete trust for what felt like the first time. This was inexplicable bliss for me. I remember radiating with gratitude. I had lived in fear, distrust, and panic for thirty consecutive years.”

What happens when the human body dies? Is that it, or is there such a thing as a soul and does it live on forever? If the latter, where does it go?

Many people who experienced a NDE (near death experience) have brought back intriguing information, and this valuable insight from the other side can help everyone.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) has the largest collection of NDEs in the world—over 4000 in more than 23 languages.

Is it possible that NDEs are a creation of the mind because facing death is difficult? It’s natural to be skeptical, and the NDERF FAQ page answers these types of questions and provides a good summary of the phenomenon.

We read all of the “exceptional NDE cases” on the NDERF site and selected what we believe are the most fascinating to share with our readers. You can read the entire case history on the NDERF site by clicking on the person’s name.

Cate NDE 5288 was told by a guide during her NDE that it was no accident she narrowly avoided death five times in the last year. He told her what she needed to learn in this life (about love) was so important that she needed to remain incarnated until then. After that it would be her time to go.

Cynthia H NDE 5071. During her NDE she asked how God (her perception of the higher power) could send people to hell if he loves everyone unconditionally. She was told some people chose to go to (places that appear as hellish or lacking Light). (God) has already forgiven them, and they must forgive themselves and feel worthy of moving on to a better place.

She also asked how God could forgive a murderer or rapist. She was told, “there is good in all people,” and you can forgive anyone if you look hard enough.”

While we understand the power of forgiveness, our findings show the law of karma dictates nobody gets away with anything.

Jean K NDE 4964 had a NDE when she was ill with a severe case of bronchitis. As she moved to the Light, she heard suffering souls below her in the darkness. She knew that their suffering would end if they turned toward the Light, but they were stubborn and wouldn’t.

She also saw “tiny trails of blue, pink and green lights traveling across the expanse of darkness toward the Great Light.” She wondered what they were, and like other NDEs, instantly had the answer to her question: they were prayers from people seeking the Light. The larger white light trails moving outward from the Light were answers to prayers.

She saw the image of Jesus in the Light and realized if she had been Buddhist she would have seen Buddha. She was told, “That is right. God appears in a familiar form.”

She wanted to stay in the Light but as soon as she thought of her troubled, fatherless children, and how they needed her, she knew she had to go back and felt herself returning to her body.

Justin U NDE 4671 described seeing many other spirits leaving their bodies and moving away from Earth on his ascent to the Light. He said some (“maybe one in a hundred or less”) had what looked like clouds above their heads consisting of their own negative thoughts and feelings like anger and hatred, which blocked the Light and love above. He could sense their feelings and wanted to help them look up to the Light, but couldn’t reach them. He said the love and Light was also doing all it could to help them, but they couldn’t or wouldn’t accept or see it. He also said it was obvious the negative voids were self-imposed, and not from an energy or being punishing them. He wondered if they felt the need to punish themselves due to excessive guilt from their life reviews.

Justin said he is, “no saint and have done much wrong in my life so I do not understand still why I was never like that myself.” He’s still worried that he might be one of the souls who can’t see the Light when it’s his time to “die” again.

He also learned in his life review that, “Nothing is hidden; there are many beings both good and bad watching us at all times. You are NEVER alone so your secrets good and bad will always come out sooner or later.”

Our findings also show that you’re never alone, which is why it makes sense to remember to always protect yourself spiritually, such as through a protection prayer like Spiritual Detox.
