While each Near Death Experience is uniquely tailored to the needs of the experiencer, there are universal truths present in many of them. By studying NDEs, we can get many of the benefits of having an NDE ourselves without the trauma. NDEs teach us about our purpose for being here, what we can expect when we return Home, and give us perspective on the trials and tribulations of Earth life. By studying NDEs, we can bring more peace to our lives, more patience, and we can live with a sense of purpose.
