So they often feel, "Why do you love other people as much as you love me? I'm your family," which is often very hard for the children of the near-death experiencers. Furthermore, a lot of the families will say when a crisis happens, the experiencer may just take off and go see if they can help without concern of just leaving the family behind. Lives were based previously on something that they thought they shared that they no longer shared, that can really disrupt the marriage and there have been reports of a high rate of divorces among near-death experiencers. I've talked to lots of people who were concerned that their loved one, now, is not the same person that they married. That sounds like a wonderful thing to happen but it can create a lot of problems in your life. The vast majority of near-death experiences that we hear are pleasant, if not outright blissful. It leads them eventually to the 'Golden rule,' which is actually part of every religion we have: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." But they feel that this is not for them anymore- a guideline we're supposed to follow but a law of nature. It's much bigger than that, much more inclusive. That what's important to them is the interconnections, not the dogma that goes along with it, and they think that the type of deity they encountered, if they did, is not as limited as the God they were taught about in church. They tend to look on organized religions as being simplifications of what the spiritual world really is. Most near-death experiencers say they are more spiritual, but not more religious. They describe having existed without their physical bodies, when their physical bodies were essentially dead, and yet, they were feeling better than ever.
The most common change we hear from near-death experiencers is that they are no longer afraid of death.
When they return, they often are profoundly changed by this experience. And they include such difficult-to-explain phenomena as a sense of leaving the physical body, reviewing one's entire life, encountering some other entities that aren't physically present that they sometimes interpret as deities or deceased loved ones. Near-death experiences are profound, subjective experiences that many people have when they come close to death, or sometimes when they are in fact pronounced dead. I'm a professor emeritus of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences, and I've recently come out with a book called "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond." And nothing else in my life compares to it." Experiencers almost always say, "This is the most important thing that's ever happened to me. It makes them much less invested in things of the physical world: power, prestige, fame, competition. And that changes how they see everything. A sense of connectedness to other people, to nature, to the Universe, to the divine.
Either the visions they saw or the feelings they felt or the entities they encountered, there just aren't words to describe them. It's like trying to draw an odor with a crayon. BRUCE GREYSON: Most near-death experiencers say that they have trouble speaking about it because there just aren't words to describe it.
