Thanks for your take on that. It really blew me away, recently, to find some NDEers, along with some present at the deathbed of dear ones, having a shared-death experience, that we don’t actually leave the other side to be present here.

It just clicked for me that Who we really are — the fullness of that — is always “there” (not that it’s a time-space location). We project aspects of our awareness out into the various dimensions & embodiments. What I call Heart is the most direct link I’ve found to That, to our core.

Just as I was adjusting to that, I came across another one that might tickle your fancy. Some people, in their NDE, experience not only loved ones who have crossed but even those still in embodiment. Color me shocked, at least for the moment. 😲

For some, it was relatives in the hospital or nursing homes, not necessarily fully present with us. The mind can grok that. But for others, it was a dear one still living, fully present in good health in 3D. Things that make ya go hmmm.

I realize shape-shifting is one possibility. There are times when a negative being pretends to be your dear one in the astral. Nor is shape-shifting just negative, since shape & form are more ephemeral, more malleable in the higher frequencies, not even being required on some levels.

Oh, well. We just think we know things. Nothing is what it seems, what we take it to be. Perhaps the funniest thing is that — from the right perspective — it’s ALL good, oh my.

It’s good to be sufficiently — well, detached, I guess (not the best word) — to be able to have a good-natured laugh at the self. 😆
