While a near-death experience (NDE) can never be scientifically proven, the commonalities that emerge from survivors indicate that NDEs are far more than a trick of the mind. One common feature reported? Receiving a message while in heaven.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to research from Dr. Jeffrey Long, author of God and the Afterlife: The Groundbreaking New Evidence for God and Near-Death Experience<\/em>, 68.5% of near-death experiencers received a message regarding the existence of life after death and 57.9% received a message about love. <\/p>\n

That message is often communicated via God or a spiritual being, and without words. \u201cCommunication in near-death experiences\u2014including the conveying of important messages\u2014is almost always non-physical,\u201d Dr. Long says. \u201cThe closest phrase in the English language is \u2018telepathic communication,\u2019 but it generally goes beyond that.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are some of those communications? Here are five messages that NDE survivors brought back from their time in the hereafter. <\/p>\n

1. \u201cYou have to go back.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1999, Dr. Mary C. Neal, an orthopedic spine surgeon from Jackson Hole, Wyo., was vacationing in the Chilean Andes when she drowned in a kayaking accident and glimpsed heaven. Dr. Neal felt the embrace of Jesus, was taken through a life review and greeted by a group of spiritual beings in \u201crobes of love,\u201d who then led her towards a domed structure. Dr. Neal wanted to go further, but the person in charge said, \u201cYou have more to do. You have to go back.\u201d Dr. Neal was also told that her oldest son, Willie, then 9, would die young. \u201cI was really given expectations of how I was going to respond to his death,\u201d Dr. Neal told Guideposts.org<\/a><\/u>. \u201cAnd how I was going to not only continue to reflect God’s love during that time but use that as a way to help bring people to an understanding of the beauty that comes, not only out of life, but out of death. I was also given this mandate to share my experiences with other people.\u201d Watch Dr. Neal recount her inspiring NDE here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cYou are special because you are my child.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

On a quiet Sunday evening in November 2009, landscaper Jim \u201cBubba\u201d Bay went for a walk along a rural road near his home in Pine Plains, N.Y. After stepping away from an oncoming car, he slipped off the edge of a culvert and fell unconscious. His chance of survival was slim. Until Jim experienced something incredible. He saw a robed man with a weathered face and long beard walking toward him, accompanied by two children\u2014Jim\u2019s deceased sons. Jim was ready to leave this world and go with them. But the man\u2019s voice spoke inside of Jim. \u201cThere are things left for you to do for me,\u201d the man said, quieting Jim\u2019s protests that he was no one special. \u201cYou are special because you are my child.\u201d You can read more about Jim\u2019s amazing near-death experience and survival here.<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

3. \u201cNow is your time to heal…\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Rajiv Parti was a successful doctor, the chief of anesthesiology at Bakersfield Heart Hospital in California and living what he called a life \u201cvery focused on the material.\u201d Then, in 2008, everything came crashing down when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. This led to a pain medication addiction and depression. After emergency surgery on Christmas Eve in 2010, Dr. Parti had a near-death experience where he encountered his deceased father, angels and a Light Being, according to his website<\/a>. He was also given a message: \u201cNow it is your time to heal the diseases of the soul\u2014addiction, depression, chronic pain and cancer.\u201d Those words filled Dr. Parti with a renewed sense of purpose and led him to write the book, Dying to Wake Up<\/em>. <\/p>\n

4. \u201cYou can come with us, or you can stay.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Before she was a Paralympic medalist in snowboarding, and a Dancing with the Stars <\/em>runner-up, Amy Purdy was a 19-year-old massage therapist living in Las Vegas. In 1999, she contracted bacterial meningitis with a less than two percent chance of surviving. During emergency surgery, Purdy had a NDE. She felt her last heartbeat, then saw a hazy, green light and the outline of three figures in front of her, Purdy recounted on Super Soul Sunday<\/a><\/u><\/em>. The beings told her, \u201cYou can come with us, or you can stay.\u201d It was then that Purdy recalled the many things she loved about life\u2014from the smell of rain to the sound of ocean waves\u2014and made the choice to stay. \u201cI didn\u2019t think about money or cars or any of that,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cI thought about these sensory things I loved about life.\u201d <\/p>\n

5. \u201cMy love will always be with you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1952, at the age of seven, Nadia McCaffrey lost consciousness after a snake bit her in Auvergne, France. She saw a woman in a white, gauzy gown, who told her, \u201cI am your Little Mother of the Sky.\u201d The woman gave Nadia a prophetic message full of metaphors and symbols, including the following: \u201cIn the middle of a garden, you will see a rose, more colorful and beautiful than all others. When the time comes, you will open yourself to others and share this message of love. To speak to me is prayer, and to pray is to love.\u201d The Little Mother then told Nadia that it was not her time yet and left her with these final words: \u201cMy love will always be with you. I will always be with you.\u201d Oddly enough, that wouldn\u2019t be the last time Nadia glimpsed the afterlife.
