Podcast link for Debra Diamond 9/17/16 - Wendy's Coffeehouse - I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced NDE and or STE.
Debra Diamond has done her homework investigating aspects of NDE that beg to be explored further, the aftereffects. So, even if you have already heard some amazing Near Death stories, what you might not have heard is the story behind the story; how dramatically life changes for those who must then reconcile (or try to) a completely different world view resulting from the NDE.
Debra Diamond had a similar shift, rather than NDE, she experienced a Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) and an awakening to her abilities as a Medium.
Some of this process is very familiar to me, given the life-redirect I experienced in 1997 with the beginning of the nightlight encounter - still ongoing, 24/7.
Her book: Life after Near Death, Miraculous Stories of Healing and Transformation in the Extraordinary Lives of People with Newfound Powers, examines after-effects of NDE (permanent) and among other things, whether there is a personality or religious predisposition or certain pre-existing criteria significant to NDE. Apparently not.
Age, Sex, Belief, Income, Locale, etc., NDE can happen to anyone at anytime. What she does effectively address is the issue/s that surface afterward. Reconciling and integrating the experience. That's the part of the equation that (much like STE) is the greatest challenge. Life is NOT the same.
What happens when you suddenly discover a savant like ability for physics? When you discover you are psychic, when you desire a completely different lifestyle? No longer interested in mainstream news programs or job pursuits, no longer interested in eating meat, now vegan. Big changes. And no logical reason for the change.
