Parting Visions Are Real
By
Roger Behra
Most everyone as a matter of course never decides to have frequent or lengthy conservations about death or dying. The fear of death is strong. It is a subject to be avoided unless a loved one passes away. But the reality is this. Everyone sooner or later has to become a victim of dying and death. And the more that is know in advance about that final event, the easier that final event will be. The knowledge gained will definitely ease the fear of death.
At the time of dying or death itself, there are several kinds of scientifically unexplainable spiritual things that can and do take place. Most doctors and other caregivers pass those spiritual happenings off as drug-induced, hallucinations, or anxiety attacks. The real truth is they are not, and that truth is now supported by research and recorded facts.
One of the most common events at death and dying is the parting visions of a loved one or friend who has died recently or long ago. Research has shown that these visions are real, comforting, and even shared by visiting loves one at beside. And if the dying person survives, because of the vision the person's life is dramatically changed for the better.
No matter how compelling the research and interviews are there still far too many science trained people ready to ask the question. How do we really know that parting visions are real? They ask even though there are recorded and validated experiences as proof the parting visions are real. Children's visions are very creditable, because the visions are not exaggerated or embellished. The visions of children and adults who are wide awake and not on medicine or drugs are especially creditable. Their thinking is clear and rational. Some patients who are not yet dying or near death, but are expected to die soon, have clear and real visions of deceased loved ones who are waiting to help them make the transition to eternal life. In many cases loves ones at the bedside even share the visions. The bedside loved ones are not on medication and therefore are able to think clearly and rationally. The only true explanation is the visions are real and not hallucinatory.
Dr. Morse told many parting vision and near-death experiences stories in his book. Two of them are worth mentioning here. A young girl patient who was dying and had a sister who was sick had a parting vision of her sister, who had died a few hours earlier. What made that parting visions so dramatic and creditable was the fact that no one told the young girl that her sister died. In the vision the dead sister said the young girl would be joining her soon, and three hours later the young girl died and joined her sister. A man had been a teenage gang member. He was a violent man as an adult. He almost died while he was robbing a convenience store when he was slashed with a broken bottle. The ambulance arrived, and while he was being taken to a hospital he noticed he was leaving his body. As he left his body he burst into flames. There was no tunnel loving light, or guardian angel. Instead he saw the faces of his dead friends who had died on the streets. They were crying because of their pain that they said would last forever. The man was resuscitated, gave up his life of crime, and became an ordained minister.
Read Parting Visions, by Dr. Melvin Morse. You will find it easy to read, very interesting, very enlightening, and very comforting. And perhaps some lives will be changed for the better before the final event takes place in their lives.
