“Don't even talk to me about "near death experiences". You want to be "near Death"? Stand before the assassin's blade, then tell me what you see. It won't be any ethereal tunnel full of warm, fuzzy light. You'll be dead, not in some funky hypnogogic state. What you see will be real, not the result of autonomic nor chemically induced psychosis, and infinitely more wondrous than any half-baked ego-conceptual delusion.” DeathSpiritualityNde Book:Our Name Is Melancholy : The Complete Books of Azrael Source: Our Name Is Melancholy : The Complete Books of Azrael
