Hi Dr. Hogan,

I like life to be simple. Therefore, I try to stay with the words in the Bible because most people in my life can't see it any other way, and I can't explain things the way you do, although I agree with, and have experienced, what you talk about. I am quick to point out passages in the Bible that serve as a catalyst for broader thinking. I speak of what I experienced, but then I get the usual line, "I haven't experienced what you have. I've got to think my own thoughts". As you know, I have seen things and many more have continued to be revealed in my mind, and even manifested, since the NDE I experienced in 1983. Is it strange to know what I know but still rely on the Bible to make points to people. I wish I could relate the way you do, but I am not emotionally equiped to face the persecution the follows when I talk about what reality really is. Personally, I think there are many good things the Bible has to say, but people let their ego's overide their good sense. Love, Kim
