Spirituality of Near Death Experience
Many researchers believe that the people gone through near death experience have the true spiritual information. This information accounts that spirituality offers a different perspective that religious beliefs. Probably you can differentiate between religion and spirituality in the sense that religion is a tool that induces an outward procedure for conducting individuals inward towards the spiritual force of compassion and love for other individuals. In practice, spirituality and religion are really different, you may get to know people who are religious but not spiritual, and vice versa.
When we introspect near death experience accounts, we can see that it somehow relates to the spiritual growth and spiritual attainment. An individual is a spiritual being at the first place before he is a physical being. Our bodies act like a container where our desire for spiritual development is materialized. We are destined for the attainment of the complete mission of God in order to succeed for the higher spiritual domains, to analyze our spiritual conceptions we had experienced even before we came to this materialistic world in order to experience if we basically have power over these principles, to attain a level of self-actualization, to revive higher wisdom in physical variations, to be united with God, to discover the higher domain of heaven within oneself, to attain our life goal of exploring in the higher reality, but with the individual self, to make the Godly being stronger by evolving with God, to become enlightened from the darkness of ignorance, but it is very important to know the procedure of sole purpose of holistic destination.
Love is a practical representation of God and when someone loves others unconditionally or deals others with altruism, he is on his way to attaining spiritual route. Although almost every one of us is running after gaining materialistic wealth, but this does not has any implication in the spiritual realm. Loving others is the most important aspect in the domain of spirituality. No matter what people perceive in practice, love is the ultimate phenomena that every one of us is actually seeking throughout our entire life. Although we think that the materialistic gaining is a difficult task, but unfortunately finding true love is the most difficult task in an individual's life. This is why for most of us finding love is left beyond our own accessibility. However, those who can find out true love, they can understand its profound and immense, without experiencing love in a lifetime means a life without any proper meaning. When one loves others as much as he loves himself, it is called unconditional love. It is only when we put our love and attention to others, and we become able to grow from a spiritualistic domain. So as a human being, we need to choose between selfish love and selfless love. When we go for selfish love, we actually become too engrossed with ourselves only and simply become ignorant to care about anyone else on earth. This is how our soul has been limited to a shell, where we can only have a superficial self.
On the other hand, when we go for selfless love, we basically turn our soul to the Higher Power and Higher Knowledge. While depending predominantly on selfless love, we gradually develop ourselves in the domain of spiritualism. With the help of selfless love, we can actually grow up truly and effortlessly. With the basis of altruism, we not only get to know ourselves, but also we get to know others from the true core of our heart, which is the primary framework of spirituality. When every individual selects the pathway of selfless love and altruism, the final answer of interconnectedness and Higher Self or Higher Spirituality is established. When we adapt the pathway of selfless love and altruism, all our pathways actually lead to our ultimate destination – our True Belief and True God.
During the experience of NDE, an individual leaves behind the materialistic world and step into the spiritual world by virtue of one's own acquired culture and spiritual or religious belief. This individual then perceives the reality from an inner perspective rather than outer ones. According to spiritualistic concept, hells and heavens are nowhere, but they lie inside the domain of spiritual being. Basically, by the virtue of all our actions, we grow aligned with heaven instead of going to the heaven or carried by any heavenly bodies after our death.
When someone is onto his spiritual journey and attains his spiritual growth, it is done on step-by-step basis, so that he can achieve spiritual wisdom in different degrees. The main focus given on the degree of spiritual growth that we obtain during our course is entirely dependent on how we spend our life and how we develop our perspectives throughout your life. We need to develop ourselves to accept the Higher Truth and how our lives are systematized in the envelope of Spiritual Reality. When we accept the Higher Truth and Higher Reality, we can move on to the direction of knowing our Higher Self.
