I have read and listened to, both in video and in person, hundreds and hundreds of peoples near death experiences (NDE). Most have what is known as a life review. We review our entire life up to the point we die, both from our own but also and especially the other person’s perspective. We feel what they felt when we were kind and not so kind.

I have read and listened to, both in video and in person, hundreds and hundreds of peoples near death experiences (NDE). Most have what is known as a life review. We review our entire life up to the point we die, both from our own but also and especially the other person’s perspective. We feel what they felt when we were kind and not so kind.

It’s true, we are judged when we pass to the other side, not by anyone else, but by ourselves. We review how we did here and determine if we accomplished what we set out to do. It’s certainly not an easy experience simply because we are the ones judging. I’ve heard of people’s very simple acts that turned out to be profound when they were reviewed. One example is when a man decided to water a tree with a bucket he needed but that was filled with water. He could have dumped it out on the pavement where he was, but he made the decision to water that tree, and that’s was significant. No, we don’t have to solve world peace or cure cancer. We just have to be kind, compassionate, and thoughtful.

All of that said, don’t you wish all the people we work with and work for would know all of this? There really is nowhere else in my life where I experience the level of cruelty and hell I have in the workplace. You have to wonder about that. Is it unnatural for us to be in such an environment? I read through everyone’s posts and there is so much horror taking place in the workplace that is unacceptable. Just awful.

I have no answers. I only wonder why the knowledge about the wisdom acquired from NDEs that has exploded like wildfire has not made its way into the minds and hearts of those who work in corporate America, especially. Are they not real people? How is it they completely miss all of this?

I thought I’d post this because I feel so bad for everyone on this site, the hell we’ve all been through. It’s unconscionable.

So, take comfort in knowing that they’ll all know one day what they put you through and it will not be a pleasant experience. I do wish I could save them the trouble, though.

    That’s sounds interesting. Thank you. Perhaps I’ll consider it.

    “Work” no longer works for most people. They systems in place will take a long time to change, but the humans involved see it and are at the breaking point. As a society, this is what we have chosen and allowed. The rich get richer. The rest are cogs in a machine. No single person or company can change it. All of the “great places to work” lists are developed by the PR team. I know, I have worked on the applications for companies. There is zero incentive for true change so companies will continue with the window dressings of being great while they burn people out in the pursuit of maximum productivity. The strange thing is that in many other wealthy countries, none of these issues exist. We have spent the last 300 being all-in on capitalism and the cost is rest, kindness, and respect. I am grateful for my paycheck but it comes at a price. I sit with executives and hear the conversations about employees. They just want butts in the office, working at max capacity with no complaining. They only offer what their competitors offer because it makes them money.
