But what is beyond that white light? We have lot's of near death accounts that share many of the characteristics you mention but it could be that actual death is quite different. I'm glad you came back from "the light."
It's one of those things you just have to experience to know what it's like, but I guess what I'm saying is that you might not even be aware of what's happening at that point. You'd make the transition without knowing, just like you don't remember being born. Even if there's an afterlife, or past life, or heaven, would you be aware of where you came from? I don't think so. I feel like you'd lose that footprint of being a human. It just makes me lose concern for it.
I experience it someday.... hopefully a long, long time from now.
