The Near-Death Experience: An Initiation and Transformation
May 7, 1993 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interest upon futilities.” C.G. Jung
This is a personal narrative of a near-death experience. It is an attempt to describe the indescribable and with this paradox in mind, it is a psychological and embodied experience of death and rebirth, of initiation and transformation. At a time when medical technology is saving more lives and prolonging life, when terminal illness is striking more young adults, the issue of death and dying is being forced into our consciousness.
