Near-Death Experiences

December 2023

Sent to the programme Sunday on BBC Radio 4

I was interested to listen to the item on near death experiences. I have been a part of The Erasmus Foundation since the late 1970s; it is a spiritual teaching and healing centre based in Laxfield, Suffolk with a belief that everyone has a spirit within their body that is living a life for a certain length of time in order to learn. At death, the spirit returns Home, a spiritual plain not visible to the human eye but where life continues for every spirit, before perhaps another life is taken. The experiences that some people talk about, especially when they say they 'leave the body' is simply the spirit leaving the body and if it is not a time to die of the Earth, the spirit will then return to the body but perhaps taking some form of experience when 'out of body' which they then express.

If you are interested, the Foundation has recently made a series of podcasts under 'The Erasmus Foundation Podcast', on a variety of subjects, some of which relate to religion, God, the Natural Law, the meaning of life, and spirit.

We would always be pleased to talk about the work of the Foundation should you think this might be of interest to your listeners. I have made a note to contact the group that have set up the near-death experiences website in case we can share some knowledge and experience to help all concerned.
