NDEs of the rich and famous |
The near-death experiences of rich and famous people are particularly
interesting. They are rolling in the money. They are known all over the
world. They are often beautiful, articulate and very talented in what they
do. With this in mind, why would such a person reveal to everyone that they
were dead and came back to life? Money? They already got that. Fame? They
are already famous. In fact, by telling everyone they came back from the
dead, they may be risking their own reputation. People who reveal such
things to others often become the butt of jokes or thought to be crazy. Why
would anyone rich and famous subject themselves to this when it might result
in lost fame and fortune? The only rational reason that such people who have
nothing to gain is that it really happened to them and they want to share it
with the world. The following are rich and famous people who risked it all
to tell the world about their near-death experience. Some of these accounts
are documented in Jean Ritchie's excellent book, Death's Door.
People having near-death experiences are greeted by someone - usually
someone they deeply love or the so-called Being of Light. When Elvis Presley
died, it seemed like the whole world mourned. He was truly loved by many
people the world over. Since then, many people have reported having Elvis
sightings where the spirit of Elvis appears as an apparition to people much
in the same way that Jesus appeared to people after his death. Not only
this, many near-death experiencers find themselves greeted, not by a Being
of Light, but by Elvis Presley. According to Dr. Melvin Morse in his book on
near-death experiences entitled Transformed by the Light, a 45-year old
Mid-western teacher saw Elvis Presley in an intense light during her
near-death experience. The woman had met Elvis when she was a child. The
following is her near-death account:
"I entered into a dark tunnel and suddenly I was in a place filled up with
love and a beautiful, bright light. The place seemed holy. My father, who
had died two years earlier, was there, as were my grandparents. Everyone was
happy to see me, but my father told me it was not my time and I would be
going back. Just as I turned to go, I caught sight of Elvis! He was standing
in this place of intense bright light. He just came over to me, took my hand
and said, "Hi, Bev, do you remember me?" (Mauro,1992)
Dr. Raymond Moody wrote an entire book on Elvis sightings, including
near-death experiences, entitled Elvis After Life. Because of the large
number of devoted Elvis fans, it should not be a surprise that people having
NDEs should be greeted by the King.
