Emily Bronte

“According to
near-death accounts, the reason for our very existence is to attain spiritual
growth. We are more of a spiritual being than we are a physical being. We
assume a body of flesh out of a desire for spiritual growth, to complete a
mission for God, to qualify for higher spirit realms, to test our spiritual
ideas we had before we were born to see if we actually possess these ideals, to
obtain a level of self-realization, to re-discover higher knowledge in physical
ways, to be more of a companion of God, to find the kingdom of heaven within,
to achieve our goal of evolving into the higher spirit beings we once were, but
with individuality, to make God stronger by spreading
"Death is
nothing more than a doorway, something you walk through."
Dr. George Ritchie
“There exists a
mountain of circumstantial evidence that consciousness survives bodily death.
This is the kind of evidence that would stand up in a court of law. Some people
believe that science needs better tools to quantify what consciousness is.
Perhaps when we discover what consciousness is we will be on the road to
providing absolute scientific evidence that there is life after death.”
Jean Ritchie
“Death is simply
a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a
transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive,
to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
"For any
culture which is primarily concerned with meaning, the study of death - the
only certainty that life holds for us - must be central, for an understanding
of death is the key to liberation in life."
Dr. Stanislav Grof
"To appreciate
heaven well it is good for a man to have some fifteen minutes of hell."
Will Carleton
“In fact, my
life review, (during a near death experience) what I learned in it and, even
more importantly, what I experienced in it -- that a divine energy connects all
of us -- have since orchestrated all my relationships. With each person I have
attended in the dying process, I have also witnessed this spiritual energy. I
have given talks for hundreds of hospice workers, and almost everyone agrees
that this energy is present. Hospice workers often tell me their stories of

“The biggest
surprise for most people in dying is to realize that dying does not end life.
Whether darkness or light comes next, or some kind of event, be it positive,
negative, or somewhere in between, expected or unexpected, the biggest surprise
of all is to realize you are still you.”

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." (Steve Jobs - 2005)
