Product Description
Product Description
The near-death experience (NDE) is not only a revelation of the most profound and soul-shattering beauty, but, as research shows, it is something that has the power to drastically transform and improve the lives of those who survive this kind of encounter with death. Lessons from the Light: What We Can Learn from the Near-Death Experience is unlike other books on the NDE in that it is written not so much about these life-changing encounters as such but for persons who have never had an NDE themselves yet wish to learn from those who have. Lessons from the Light recounts not only many inspiring NDEs from persons of all ages (including very young children) and classes, but for the first time also discloses Dr. Ring's collection of cases where persons journey beyond the Light as well as the NDEs of blind persons. Such remarkable testimony is then used as a basis to provide helpful guidance and practical exercises in order for readers to live a life of greater self-insight, self-compassion, and concern for others, as well as to be better prepared for death, dying, and bereavement.

Embodied in the pages of "Lessons from the Light" is the seed potential to transform our world. Using the tools of the scientist combined with a compassionate heart and clear intuitive sense, Ring once again breaks ground with cutting-edge information on the near-death experience. Through many moving stories of near-death experiences and eye-opening veridicality studies, Ring presents convincing information substantiating the reality of these experiences and life after death. Perhaps even more importantly, he shows us how we might incorporate the wonderful transformations in our personalities that are so frequently observed in near-death experiencers--that we might, indeed, catch their "benign virus." And it is this ability that has the potential to transform not only ourselves, but our world.
Ring's writing is personable, accessible and full of heart. "Lessons from the Light" will be a life-changing and life-enhancing experience for all who read it. I will be taking this book to our local hospice, use it in my volunteer work there and share it with my friends and family. It will bring peace to those who are dying and it will give those of us still in the midst of life a wonderful guidebook to live fully, with love and in the present moment. "Lessons from the Light" will undoubtably ease our fear of death.

This is one of the best books ever to have been written on this subject. There is no denying the reality of the experiences people have had, and in this book we go further by exploring the meaning of them and how our own lives can benefit from just reading about others. If we insist on clinging to old beliefs which just don't add up any more then we miss out on getting the knowledge of what our true nature is. Read this book and open yourself up to the Light!

I loved this book and found it quite inspiring. Not having had an NDE (near-death-experience) myself, I felt included in the experience and that I could benefit from the lessons others have been fortunate enough to have learned. For example, the life review process: I think I may have gone through some kind of life review while reading the book, although in a particular sort of fashion. I found myself thinking about my past, and especially about other people who have helped and encouraged me over the years, and how much that has meant to me. The stories related by NDErs were awe-inspiring and a healing balm for my soul. Just to reflect on the existence of an all-embracing, unconditional love, beyond anything ever imagined, warmed my heart and lifted my spirits. And the fact that these people's lives were changed in meaningful and healing ways offered me the hope of somehow moving beyond my own restrictive conditioning into a more fulfilling life. Reading -- even just THINKING about this book made me feel good, as if I were receiving a transmission of positive, up-lifting energy. In a spirit of good-natured generosity, the author offers us the fruits he has gathered from his years of research. This book is a gift.
