What I Learned from Dying: My Journey through the Near-Death Experience
??
What happens when we face our deepest fear and return from the experience? An unchecked auto-immune system disorder brought writer and teacher Robert Cole to that answer years ago. It was a trial by fire that would radically alter his understanding of both death and what it means to be alive. Cole, a public speaker with a focus on holistic education, shares his near-death experience at the Weaver Library on Monday, June 6, 2016 at 7pm.
In recent years, the phenomenon of the near-death experience has become a widely-discussed topic.??By some estimates, over eight million individuals in the U.S. alone report having had a near-death experience. Best-selling books, feature film releases, and scientific study abound on the subject.
Distinct from many of these narratives, Robert’s journey is not a tale of a glimpsed afterlife but of a radically deepened experience of human existence–one stripped of fear. The near-death experience in this context is a portal to the brilliance of the here and now and the heart of his story.
