I Don't know why all the fuss, like are NDEs caused by visits to that other dimension or by oxygen deprivation. I have read over 500 NDE stories and I choose to believe they deacribe a visit to another dimension. What difference does it make. When I die I will go into oblivion or will enter that other dimension, one or the other. Meanwhile I am enjoying life, without the FEAR of death.

We have to remember that we has human beings, in order to 'understand' always attempt to label something that we do not. We also 'think' that we can better evaluate or 'understand' by data- that info which is recovered by collection techniques, electronic or otherwise. When the experience as such does not lend itself to 'traditional thinking' of whatever sort, the human ego attempts to negate the experience plainly because the experience does not fit the expectation mold.

Scientific thinking is not relegated to data acquisition and dissection. The real forefront of education starts when we as humans are willing to say "I don't know and I get to learn something new". Our USA government just recently confiscated electronic gear that some guy built that allowed a antigravity field to be created. This is again fear of that we do not know - lets see another 10,000 years pass before humanity develops some intelligence...wkpickett0154@c omcast.net

Daily Horoscope for February 13

Gemini

This is a good time to take stock of your actions and the direction you're going in. Are your efforts getting you anywhere or leading you astray and scattering your energy? If you're putting in the work but not moving forward, you're not on track. The old adage 'cut your coat according to your cloth' is good advice. Be simple and purposeful and don't waste time with things that get no practical results.
