MKR:

I was just blacked out. It all took place in a matter of minutes -- one or
two. I am not even sure if it had anything to do with near death experience.

Having read and listened to a lot of Theosophical material, I wonder even if
I were to have a real near death experience, I would be expecting to meet
not God -- in what ever form -- but the following in order of priority (just
don't consider this seriously)

1. The present Presidents of TS and TSA, if they are capable of functioning
on the other side. (If this were to happen, I will have a chance to
communicate in an open and uninhibited manner -- which will help everybody).

2. All the past Presidents of TS, TSA (if they are still around and
functional on the other side). (Have paid my dues and supported them in
however small manner).
3. Krishnaji.
4. All the Enlightened Beings. Have tried to do what I can to help my fellow
beings. These Enlightened Ones are surely are the ones who have said
"Ingratitude is not One of their Vices".
5. All other Higher Beings including Solar Logos, if they deem it
appropriate to see this lowly novice human.

I am sure there are others on this list who may have very interesting first
hand NDE and I would be very interested to see/hear about them.
