Essential Point:
A Near-Death-Experience (NDE) is more like a Near-Life-Experience (NLE) as it forces you out of the Mind and into the Pure Aliveness of Presence itself.
Overview:
The Near Death Experience (NDE) would be more truly phrased as the Near Life Experience (NLE) because it’s fundamental purpose serves to shock you out of the Conditioned Mind and into a temporary state of Pure Consciousness – the state of Pure Awareness in which you have the Divine opportunity to Realize the Essence of who you are.
The NDE forces you out of Thinking and into Presence – you are forced into the Here and Now, and paradoxically, through the rush of potential Death you have never felt more Alive. This is often why people unintentionally Seek out NDEs through dangerous, adrenaline inducing activities such as free climbing, skydiving, bungee jumping, hang gliding, mountain biking, and other extreme endeavors – they force you into the Purity of Flow State in which you are totally Present and through this Presence feel intensely Alive. It is in these moments that the Ego temporarily collapses, and the massive reclamation of Consciousness from the Mind is experienced as tremendously enlivening.
Such is the paradox of NDEs – the closer you come to Death, the closer you come to Life. Most people Believe that it is the activity itself that is producing the ecstatic feeling of total Aliveness, and thus they continue to pursue these activities, but in Truth, it is the collapse of Mind that allows the Pureness of Presence to enter in its place, which is what’s truly responsible for the total bliss and Aliveness you feel in that moment.
The Essential message here is that it is unnecessary to Seek out NDEs to become Present and feel the intense Aliveness – you can do that right Here and Now, which is the Essence of the Awakening Journey. You can access this Flow State on a continuous and sustainable basis when you “die before you die,” which is the basis of the Ego Death and what all extreme athletes, adrenaline junkies, and addicts are in fact doing temporarily, yet through unnatural and unsustainable methods. These people are temporarily muting the Mind so that they can simply be in the moment. No doing is necessary in order to be.
The difference with Ego Death through Spiritual Awakening, as opposed to NDEs, however, is that the Shift in Consciousness is permanent, not temporary, and does not put you at risk of Physical Death. The increased feeling of Aliveness that you sense stays with you through Awakening. And in the most true way, this is because you are quite literally becoming more Alive – as Consciousness is Life, you become more Alive as you become more Conscious.
Thus, in the Unconscious state, you Believe that NDEs are the catalyzing ingredient to make you feel Alive – so you take drugs, jump off cliffs, hang from buildings, and attempt various pursuits to access this “High.” And, of course, in order to feel the Flow State “High” of this Alive Presence again, after you come down, you Believe must perform the “High-inducing” activity again. Ultimately, this is a Form of Escapism that leads to a dead end as you are mistaking the Cause of the High. It does not and cannot work to sustainably satisfy your thirst for Life and usually results in a premature Death.
As you Shift in Consciousness and deepen your Awakening, you Realize that all that is required to feel this intense Aliveness as is experienced through NDEs is to become Conscious. All you must do is Wake Up. As you Dissolve your Ego and take back the Consciousness from your Mind, you refill your Soul with the Life that has been taken from it. Now you can feel the intense Aliveness and Flow State of Life simply through Being Alive itself and not having to “do” anything at all. This is the most sustainable, “Natural High” that Exists and it is one of the greatest gifts that comes with the Awakening Journey.
