Whoa. Thank you for sharing! It was no accident that this post came up on my feed. I LOVE that you shared your experiences and perspectives.
I also study different metaphysical philosophies, but I don't have an NDE to draw on - I have had spiritual visions, but I don't recall them in a knowing way, just in a thinking way, which doesn't help me.
My biggest problems are fear and worry (about an alcoholic, who would have thought?) - if you have any insights or practices to share with me, I would love to hear them.
What is your group called in SF?
I am also on the coast in CA.
Thanks
