Everyone I know believes in death (well, except those sweaty guys at the gym who are convinced science & diet will eventually find a cure). Here at the end of another year it's always a good time to take another look. If death is inevitable, what's your take on life after death? Some kind of paradise or just a pile of dust...?
Which bring my meandering mind to two different researchers: Kubler-Ross and Jody & Jeffery Long. Both medical experts, the first has researched the five stages of grieving after a loved one's death; the Longs study near-death-experiences at their NDE Research Foundation.
Kubler-Ross's work has earned a lot of respect. The near-deathers are just getting started. But what they all seem to report is what we've all heard -- bright inviting light through a tunnel-like experience often with loved ones vaguely seen down the way. (Hollywood's been doing this gig for years, research or not!)
Far be it from me to ruin your day with death...but lets face it. It's out there. The gnawing question for most of us comes down to this: Is it going to be a good trip or a bad one? Here's one interested observer's opinion: If you think there's something on the other side, it's probably good. If you don't -- well, then you've got your choice: Either it's going to be a frustrated "wait-a-minute-I-was-just-getting-to-like-this" or a comforting long-winter's-nap.
But now back to your regularly scheduled programming....!
