The big part of it was doing tiny things to help individual people and being kind to others. And it was that type of thing, that one-to-one interaction with people, not the things we usually value in this life. As to how they experience it, that varies a lot according to the person's metaphors. Some say it was like turning pages of a book. Some say it was like watching a movie of my life.

But most say it was reliving it. I was there. I saw, felt, heard, smelled, tasted everything that was there. I could smell the fresh grass. I could count the mosquitoes in the air around me. I was there living it in slow motion. The other thing about this that's really intriguing to me and unexplainable is that the sense of time seems to stop or become non-existent in a near-death experience.

And I've heard this again and again, that there was no time. And yet when people relate their near-death experience to me, It sounds like a sequence of events. I did this, and then this happened, and then this happened, and then I had the life review play out. And I don't know how you can have a sequence of events without the linear passage of time.

And when I say that to near-death experiencers, they say, well, when I tell you about it here in our physical bodies, it's a paradox. It doesn't make any sense. But over there, it made perfect sense. It was everything happening in sequence at the same time That makes no sense to me, but that's the way they experienced it.

Let me say that the sense of time stopping is not unique to near-death experiences. People often have this when they're in a crisis situation. For example, when you're facing a car accident and time seems to slow down for you and your thoughts speed up so you can figure out how you need to maneuver to get out of the accident.

And it's fairly common among people in crisis situations to have their sense of time altered so they seem to be able to think quickly and avoid the problem. You know, one fellow I knew was on a ladder doing something on his roof, and the ladder slipped and he fell.

And he had time, and the time it took to fall about 15 feet, to figure out how we needed to maneuver to land in the bushes, not on the pavement. There's another story from the 1700s about an Italian count who was in a stagecoach and fell out and realized she was going to get run over by the rear wheel.

And he managed to figure out in the second it took to get to the bottom, to the road, how to maneuver out to get out away from under the wheel. And times just seems to stop and you have all the time in the world.
