This is the list of changes that have been observed in people that have had a near death experience. This comes from Kenneth Ring's book "Lessons from the Light" which is availble at the Vancouver library and well worth the read…

• Appreciation for Life – not taking life for granted
• Self-Acceptance – increased feeling of self worth
• Concern for Others – strong desire to help others
• Reverence for Life – concern for all life on the planet and environmentalism
• Anti-Materialism – less concerned with material gain
• Anti-Competitiveness – less driven to achieve and more to help
• Spirituality – embrace a universal and  inclusive spiritual belief system, less dogmatic

• No Fear of Death – loss of fear of death
