Gifts from the Dying

[Cara]

I came across this presentation today. Perhaps it was the right time. It seems to have come just when I was ready for it.

~~~

Becki Hawkins is a retired nurse who spent time with the dying. She wrote a weekly column for a community newspaper sharing stories from the dying including their experiences of NDEs and wisdom as they contemplated their lives. She’s also written a book.

She has some wonderful stories to share.

Starts after a brief introduction and questions begin at around 53:00

Becki appreciates all the wonderful comments that her Sedona talk has generated. She writes:

"Thank you for your precious comments! I'd love to respond to you. It is a joy to share my patients stories."

If you would like to contact Becki about her video, her book, and/or speaking engagements, you can reach her here:

Becki also writes:

"Many are asking me about my comment that I don't believe in hell. Let me clarify that. I don't believe in the hell that I heard about as a child; the terrible place that an angry God sends bad people. I think our experiences (in this world and the next) are based on how we live our lives, whether we've lived lives of love or non-loving. I choose to focus on loving God/Spirit/Jesus/All That Is and loving others. Those who have had hellish NDEs do come back 'changed' and seek to be more loving people. So it really is all about the Love. To learn more about this important topic, I encourage you to visit a resource page on NHNE Pulse called 'NDEs & Hell' "

-- In Love and Light, Becki

I watched the vid that Rich posted. Its quite amazing as this is what the course in miracles, maintains, that we are dreaming. we fell asleep and never woke and this is all a dream. this is the hardest thing to rap ones head around.

[Constance]

This is well worth the watch.

Randy Pausch gets a standing ovation at the beginning of his speech.

This was a comment from a youtuber:

"Ugh..makes me cry. Why couldn't he have stayed longer on this planet. Such a beautiful amazing teacher, husband, father and friend. Such as the journey. There is no way to explain this life. We can be plucked out in a moments notice. Make it count, everyday, make it count."

Pleasantly reminiscent of the Seth material... (Rich is this you in the video? Or namesake a coincidence?)

Universally respected and well-loved Everest mountaineer and team leader Rob Hall found himself stranded and benighted just below the summit of Everest when a severe storm struck everyone on the mountain on 10 May, 1996.

He was with a client, who'd been in trouble and whom he refused to leave to save himself. His client died, but by then Rob Hall was unable to descend further. Without emergency equipment of any kind, he had no option but to stay where he was.

Cold and weak, with rescue impossible, and with everyone in his team, including himself, knowing he would soon die, the support crew at base camp patched him through by satellite phone to his wife Jan. What transpired was one of the many extraordinary human dramas that mountaineering regularly produces.

Jan, at home in New Zealand, was a mountaineer too. She understood there was absolutely no hope. She knew this would be their last conversation.

Transcribed in Jon Krakauer's book 'Into Thin Air':

Rob: “Hi, my sweetheart. I hope you’re tucked up in a nice warm bed. How are you doing?”
Jan: “I can’t tell you how much I’m thinking about you. You sound so much better than I expected.... Are you warm, my darling?”
“In the context of the altitude, the setting, I’m reasonably comfortable.”
“How are your feet?”
“I haven’t taken my boots off to check, but I think I may have a bit of frostbite.”
“I’m looking forward to making you completely better when you come home. I just know you’re going to be rescued. Don’t feel that you’re alone. I’m sending all my positive energy your way.”
"I love you. Sleep well, my sweetheart. Please don’t worry too much.”

Those were his last words.

Jan gave birth to their first child two months later.

Constance/ there are no coincidences, are there ? I saw the video you posted. I didn't yet watch. But I left the site to look for some writing by Seneca who I love, and this was atop the page//

“We don’t beat the Reaper by living longer. We beat the Reaper by living well.”

A different Rich. I had the experience of the spirit world as well, like he said
no bodies exist there, all of us are "there" thinking that we are "here",
this world here, is like an imaginary overlay.
