Do you believe there will be someone there, when you pass on from this life? Someone to welcome you....to leave the light on for you?

@HijabaDabbaDoo Very interesting. Thanks.

@Justmeraeagain I'm sorry you had that scary experience, but glad you were comforted. Nurses often see things like that happen for our patients. It gives us hope too.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That's a great thing to be sure of.

@LadyBronte For the longest time I had I suppose a more agnostic animist view of things. Everything in the universe that is made of matter is basically densely packed energy. And we know from physics energy cannot be destroyed so on some level something of us persists. Beyond that I was never sure.

I have been a practicing pagan since the 90s and mostly Wicca but some aspects never quite felt right.

That led to alot of searching and well my first experience with the divine that I could attach to a specific deity and tradition.

Took awhile to figure out what exactly what happening and what was calling me. But when the lady who leads the souls of the dead to the underworld in the times of my ancestors I took notice.

That has led down a rabbit whole I still have not found the bottom of but more things about myself make more sense to me know.

I no longer fear what is coming. And I still battle depression but I know now more than ever I still have reasons to stick around longer.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I hope you continue to find reasons to stay and to hope.

@SomeMichGuy I feel like there is a Maker as well. Maybe your NDE gives you more clarity than most.

@scorpiolovedeep I hope to see my loved ones again too - including my grandpa.

@robbie2499 Yeah - would be easier if we knew. At least I think it would.

@SwampFlower I feel the same. The older I get, the more I wish it.

@LadyBronte me too. I’ve had a few close calls where I would have been aware and I just want to be blissfully unaware having happy hallucinations lol

@SwampFlower Yes, I get that.

@FoxyGoddess Yep.

@LadyBronte Maybe I'll be lucky enough to float or coast.. but I doubt it. Everything's always difficult 🤣🤣🤣

@Magicianzini Lol. Well, the floating or coasting would be better!

@LadyBronte Maybe, but let me guess.. there's a boatload of low hanging branches wherever I'd have to pass through LMAO.. I'm just ready for it all.

@Nimbus Nobody gets out of this life for free. I was hoping for better in the next one. Lol.

@Hireath So it's gotta be true, then. 😊

@LadyBronte Robin Williams wouldn't lie

@Musicman Yes. Same here. But I'd be lying if I said doubts never creep in.

@LadyBronte Non of us are perfect. We all have doubts from time to time.

@Musicman Yes. I think it is in our nature to be curious and often have doubts.

@ItsMeMorgue Interesting.

@BlueSkyKing So, do you believe your loved ones are waiting?

@LadyBronte Zero evidence.

@Ferise1 Do you really? I don't think everyone gets to heaven, but I don't believe everyone goes to hell.
