INTRODUCTION

SF IANDS Mission:


Our IANDS group is focused on a Peer Support Group for Bay Area IANDS Light Beings. We are inviting IANDS Speakers to address Issues about Light/Life Purpose which can be applied to other individuals and groups in and around California. We aim to address the matters which are not for the beginners but for the advanced members of the community who, through their spiritual awakenings and awareness, have been taking their Life Mission Public. Nevertheless, the meetings are open to general public and everybody who had a Near Death Experience or wants to learn more about it.

General Info:

There are numerous researchers studying the phenomenon of dying and coming back to life. You will find some of them at link pages. Their work is amazing and we certainly invite you to explore their findings.

The term Near Death Experience was coined by Dr. Raymond A. Moody who researched the ND phenomenon for decades starting with his famous book "Life After Life" (1975). After working with over 150 people who went to the Light, he was able to give a clear description of Near Death Experience. according to him, it consists of:

A strange sound: A buzzing, or ringing noise, while having a sense of being dead.

Peace and painlessness: While people are dying, they may be in intense pain, but as soon as they leave the body the pain vanishes and they experience peace.

Out-of-body experience: The dying often have the sensation of rising up and floating above their own body while it is surrounded by a medical team, and watching it down below, while feeling comfortable. They experience the feeling of being in a spiritual body that appears to be a sort of living energy field.

The tunnel experience: The next experience is that of being drawn into darkness through a tunnel, at an extremely high speed, until reaching a realm of radiant golden-white light. Also, although they sometimes report feeling scared, they do not sense that they were on the way to hell or that they fell into it.

Rising rapidly into the heavens: Instead of a tunnel, some people report rising suddenly into the heavens and seeing the earth and the celestial sphere as they would be seen by astronauts in space.

People of light: Once on the other side of the tunnel, or after they have risen into the heavens, the dying meet people who glow with an inner light. Often they find that friends and relatives who have already died are there to greet them.

The Being of Light: After meeting the people of light, the dying often meet a powerful spiritual being whom some have identified as God, Jesus, or some religious figure.

The life review: The Being of Light presents the dying with a panoramic review of everything they have ever done. That is, they relive every act they have ever done to other people and come away feeling that love is the most important thing in life.

Reluctance to return: The Being of Light sometimes tells the dying that they must return to life. Other times, they are given a choice of staying or returning. In either case, they are reluctant to return. The people who choose to return do so only because of loved ones they do not wish to leave behind.

Here goes a short description of what Near Death Experience is. It means to die and come back, alive again..., but different!
