I recently listened to several speakers who discussed their near death experiences (NDEs). Although the circumstances that led them to that moment in their lives differed (such as surgery, acute illness, or an accident), each one discussed the unique clarity he had before almost dying.
Each person remarked that the challenges that occupied them and seemed so overwhelming at that time, instantly vanished at the moment before they almost passed. As if it were a lightning bolt, the one thought that fully occupied them was this query: “Had I made good use of my time on Earth?” Several speakers experienced “life reviews,” in which a veritable highlights film of critical moments in their lives whizzed by to help them answer that question, while others intuitively knew how to respond.
