Years ago I had the honor of interviewing Bernie Siegel, MD when he was in Seattle for an event. The topic was How to Have a Near-Life Experience. Here’s a inspirational excerpt from my interview:
“When I was four years old, I had a near-death experience. I was out of my body and almost died choking. And the comment I make is that if [it’s] just chemistry, then why don’t we all become drug addicts after that experience? You’d think that if it was just chemistry, you’d try to repeat that experience with something. But instead, we become very spiritual human beings, not addicted to anything except maybe life.
If you have an alcohol or drug addict, you know when they begin to really enjoy life? When they join AA or find something more meaningful than the addiction. And to me, the term for that became a near-life experience.”
- Excerpted from an interview with Bernie Siegel, MD
No matter what is going on in your life, you always have the choice to focus on something less troublesome and more meaningful. What’s more meaningful to you today?
