Thresholds: Near-Life Experiences (Social Ecology)

People returning to life from serious accidents sometimes describe their near-death experiences. Such experiences may include brief glimpses of sustaining light, of healing, of helping and often the painful realization that it is not yet time to cross the threshold of death. Such breakthroughs into a different reality are also being experienced by people in everyday life situations. Such experiences are often brief, but their meaning and intensity is such that they are almost too personal to share. This book is a gathering of a variety of people's accounts of their "near-life" experiences, moments of openness, transformation or total clarity which became inner turning points. It is a book of common revelation which aims to help readers respect the authority of their own profound experiences and seeking. It contains 46 contributors, including Jay Ramsay, Alan Ramsay, Charles Lawrie, Diane Lodge, Ronald Higgins, Stanley Messenger, Judy de la Hoyde and Leslie Kenton.
