Wisdom For The Day

[Knight of Albion]

Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things you have to be grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for.
You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those thoughts and give you more just like them
- Rhonda Byrne

A beautiful NDE as experienced by an American called Bryce Bond, after having been taken seriously ill.
He remembered passing through a long tunnel towards a bright light and then ...

'I hear a bark and racing toward me is a dog I once had, a black poodle named Pepe.
When I see him I feel an emotional floodgate open. Tears fill my eyes. He jumps into my arms, licking my face. As I hold him, he is real, more real than I had ever experienced him. I can smell him, feel him, hear his breathing and sense his great joy at being with me again...."
(Then his stepfather appears)
"I put my dog to the ground and step forward to embrace my stepfather, when a strong voice is heard in my consciousness 'Not yet' it says. I scream out 'Why?'
Then this inner voice says 'What have you learned?' And who have you helped?' I am dumbfounded. The voice seems to be from without, as well as from within.
Everything stops for a moment. I have to think of what was asked of me. I cannot answer what I have learned, but I can answer who I have helped.
I feel the presence of my dog about me as I ponder these two questions.
Then I hear barking and other dogs appear, dogs I once had.
As I stand there in what seems to be an eternity, I want to embrace and be absorbed and merge. I want to stay. The sensation of not wanting to come back is overwhelming"
Bryce was also greeted by all of his relatives who has passed on before him. He experienced these loved ones as somewhat younger in form and face than when he had last seen them, healthier and happier.
He remembered racing backward through the same tunnel he had entered when it was time to leave and reviving in time to witness a hypodermic needle being plunged into his arm.
"I heard a voice say 'Welcome back.' I never asked who said that and nor did I care.
I was told I had been 'dead' for over ten minutes."
