NDE Stories A community for those who have been through clinical death and were brought back
Welcome
The NDE Stories community welcomes everyone who has been through clinical death and was brought back from the place that, for everyone else, has only an entrance. You know this from your own experience, and so you have many questions for us. This page is addressed to you.
What this page is
This is a beginning, and this is the format.
A place where you can
- talk and work through any questions
- share suggestions
- meet others and find people who understand things the way you do
- receive help, support and advice, and give them to others
And a place to start building what needs to be built: a community and an organization.
Our aim is for such communities and organizations to arise in every country, and for only those who understand what this is about to join them.
We are no longer anything like who we once were, and we are speaking to those who recognize this in themselves.
We will do this ourselves, because it concerns only us. We are different, and each of you understands what is said here.
Who it is for
Wherever you are now, whatever your nationality, age, faith, status or position, people who have been through something like this can be found in every walk of life.
We can complement one another, fill in each other's gaps and help one another. Only those who have been through it themselves can answer these questions, look into them and work through them. For everyone else much remains unanswered: there is often nothing to compare what we know with, and no explanation that could be related to this life.
And you yourselves know the qualities we gained after our return: no one in this life has them.
Values, qualities, vision, understanding, abilities.
You can learn them, memorize them, pretend you understand.
But how do you understand something for which there is not a single comparison, not a single point of reference to relate it to?
What we are talking about
An instant
There, clear definitions and clear answers are given. And the first of them: life is only an instant.
There, everything is measured not by the time we have divided up for our own convenience, but on a planetary scale. On that scale, life is a moment. And we stretch that moment out, finding time for almost everything except the main thing: understanding what we were born for and what it all means.
He is not himself
For a long time, and for some forever, one feeling will not let go of the person who has come back: that he is not himself. If you had to name and describe the state of the returned, this would be the first thing to say.
The game and the masks
Here, in life, everything is seen in human terms and measured by position, status, occupation, belonging, by what a person defends as their own. All of this can be summed up in one word: a game. It begins with the very first contact - work, service, relationships, getting to know someone. Everyone puts on a mask, and from there the ordinary subconscious takes over: one mask goes on over another, and it is the same for everyone. No one can keep playing for long, and in the end everyone is left with what they have.
Two parts
We, however, are made of two parts. Our return was not ordinary but, if anything, out of the ordinary: each of us carries something placed within us that no one else is capable of. And if all the qualities each of us has now been given were brought together, they would add up to something that complements each of us, even in this life.
Entrance, exit and choice
This is a page about and for those who were brought back. To the place we came back from there is only an entrance. The exit, though, is not easy if there is no one to lead you out. And the choice there is not made by the standards and qualities things are judged by here. This can be passed on only to someone who is able to take it in. The rest is clear without words, from a single fact: the essence of this choice is far removed from what we are used to thinking and understanding here.
Key concepts
- The returned
- a person who has been through clinical death and come back from where one usually does not return. They carry within them experience and definitions that cannot be gained in ordinary life.
- Two parts
- the state of the returned, in which the person they used to be is joined with what was placed in them and brought back through their return. They now live as one whole made of the two.
- Planetary scale
- the measure by which life is gauged there: not our time divided into convenient intervals, but a scale on which a whole human life is a single moment.
- The game
- the workings of ordinary life, where everything is measured by position, status, occupation and belonging. It begins at the first contact with anyone and rests on masks.
- Masks
- what people put on whenever they get to know someone or interact with others, most often without realizing it. One mask is built on top of another, and behind them what is real gets lost.
- Entrance and exit
- to the place the returned come back from there is only an entrance; an exit is not always possible and never happens on its own: someone is needed to lead you out.
- Choice
- what is made there by standards that do not match the standards of this life. Its essence cannot be explained in words; it can only be taken in.
Invitation
If you have recognized yourself in this, you are among your own.
Write to us: ask your question, tell us your story, suggest what you think matters. Out of these conversations grows the very thing this page was created for: a community of the returned and, in time, organizations in every country where such people can find, support and complement one another.
This is only the beginning.
