I come close to dying several times. Once I drowned and was effectively rescusitated immediately after (which is why Im here today). Its strange every time Ive lost consciousness (not including sleep) I see and hear a tropical jungle.
In any case my experiences led me to this belief reguarding this area:
One of the basic laws of the universe is something is either in growth or decay. There is no stablilty. A steel table may seem stable; but if left outside over hundreds of years it will rust and crumble. Humans are the same. A 15 year who is on crack, robs, hurts everyone around them, hates life; may have physical years ahead but is in decay. If they got hit by a truck their life was in decay. An 80 year man who has looked after his health, takes online course to learn new things, and decides he want to take flight lessons; is in growth. One day his plane gets hit by lightening and he crashes and dies. Up to the moment of his death he was living life to the fullest in a state of growth. Not letting the past run him; taking the future as it comes without worry, and living the fullest in the moment hes in. One never knows when they will approach the "ATM of Life" and find out they have insufficient funds. Unless they take their own life.
