Well, unfortunately the 'you' in this life is bound to be disappointed, because there are lots of experiences by people like Dr. Alexander and even more just like you and I, who've had these experiences and they seem to all report basically the same things over the past forty years. Forty years ago, Dr. Raymond L. Moody was the first doctor to begin collecting statements from people who'd died in hospital and then come back.
All of the reports seem to show that we are the same person or that we display many of the same personality traits. The quiet being is a quiet person, the chatty, happy friendly being is likewise the same here, patient one remains patient. That's not to say that in the lives we chose we don't have options there too. It's dependant on what our goal might be you know. But the thing to remember is that in almost every statement, those people report being so filled with love and happiness, that most of them would have stayed rather than come back.
I read one account where a woman was dying of cancer, had it everywhere in her body, tumours the size of oranges or something along those lines, she died then came back, and four days later when the doctors deemed her strong enough to withstand further testing to see if her cancer ridden body could take more treatment, they discovered that there wasn't a single cancer cell anywhere in her. Her name is Anita Moorjani in case you'd like to look her up.
And the thing to remember too is that while Dr. Moody started his 'research' in the '70's, there have been a few instances of reports of the same things occurring throughout the ages.
In the Bible, Paul reports a 'vision' in 2 Corinthians 12 and he describes being caught up to the third heaven and not knowing if he is in the body or out. Then there's the example that has caused a religion, Jesus walking out of the tomb after three days. And in the US, a young woman named Ellen White had recurring 'experiences' that were of such a nature that a church was founded around her, the SDA church.
So while the you that lives here on earth, in the UK might not want to meet the rest of your friends who are there waiting for you, by the time you get there, my guess is that you'll be pretty pumped when it actually occurs.
Because of how I got introduced to these topics I'm more than willing to look at all of this with an open mind. From where I'm sitting, this stuff is all like 99% credible and the only thing that would be needed for me to just sign on for my '100% badge' is to either have an NDE or and OBE myself.
