O
SON OF BEING!
Bring thyself to account each day
Bring thyself to account each day
ere thou art
summoned to a reckoning;
for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee
for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee
and thou shalt be called
to give account for thy deeds.
to give account for thy deeds.
- Baha'u'llah -
Dear Ones,
With a radiant smile and an open heart, you are invited to discover how the Baha'i teachings transform death into a joyful spiritual celebration.
There is today a vast repertoire of testimonies of near-death experiences (NDEs). Improved cardiac resuscitation techniques and renewed scientific interest have greatly increased their number. Associations such as IANDS document these accounts according to rigorous criteria.
One of the most studied cases is that of Reinee Pasarow, an American woman who “died” three times while still a teenager. Despite living with multiple sclerosis since childhood, she described with great emotion and sincerity the extraordinary length and depth of her journey into the life of the soul. Like many others, she experienced a profound life review — seeing with clarity the joy and sorrow she had brought to herself and to others — as well as the tunnel leading to an incredibly intense white light filled with unconditional love.
Some time before her DEPARTURE, she delivered again the content of that mysterious and glorious JOURNEY with remarkable clarity.
While such descriptions often enchant us with visions of bright tunnels and infinite love, not all near-death experiences are luminous. Some people report darker states: encounters with demonic figures and hellish torments. These torments they describe with a flood of images and convincing words. They may not have had access to or followed the higher truths that guarantee eternal happiness, but whatever form this supreme experience takes, at that moment of pure consciousness, the observer and the observed merge in such a way that Reality itself becomes manifest. The popular belief that heaven is an automatic result of death is therefore increasingly challenged.
In closing... If Pasarow's testimony ever raised the "Christ is the only way" objection in you, please refer to this PAGE for clarification.

These testimonies, whether radiant or difficult, raise profound questions that touch every thoughtful person:
- What is this inner reality that seems to coexist with our visible being?
- Is it independent of the brain and the body?
- What is its true nature and purpose?
- What happens at the moment of separation?
- Does it survive physical death, and in what form?
- Is there truly a life review?
- Are there states of light and love, as well as moments of distance or difficulty?
- Who or what guides the soul toward the highest path?
- Do our choices in this life truly affect our journey afterward?
- Will every soul return to the Creator, and by what means?
While a country like Canada legalizes euthanasia on demand and within the same day, under the deceptive veil of compassion, rather than offering genuine accompaniment to suffering souls — even as patients sometimes wait months or years for urgent medical care —, it is time that we become resolute messengers of life.
Let us therefore spread these luminous teachings with strength — teachings on the immortal dignity of the soul and the splendor of its journey — for every choice we make today carries profound, sometimes fateful, consequences on our eternal destiny.
