Seniors Citizens , are you prepared?

To see your maker?
I put myself on death row a couple of times since I retired.
I have decided I'm too ornery and have too many questions for God, so he is keeping me down here.

I have been reading a lot and have found Edgar Cayce's books facinating, so much so that I am ready to go whenever HE calls me.

How are you guys handling this getting old business?

Survivor of Breast Cancer,Double Pneumonia and Ovarian Mass.

I have read a lot about people and their OOB experiences, my brother had one a few months before he died of cancer.
Most said they went towards the light.

My thinking is, what if I decide not to go towards the light?
I really do not wish to come back, not the way the world is now.
I was thinking perhaps I could sit on the sidelines so to speak and watch the world right itself, then perhaps go towards the light.

It is thought provoking tho, wondering what the next step is.
As one of you has said "I can hardly wait"

Handling the aging process better as it goes along. Learning better to roll with the punches and adapt to change, still. This is VERY important. Have been very ill and weak with kidney stones and other serious conditions. Right now I don't feel afraid of death or of my "maker." Have pretty much made peace with my demons/my own past errors, and I believe that death will be a great adventure--or nothing. Time will tell. I love and am very fortunate to be loved, and this is really all I want out of life. That's the best it gets!

I too enjoy Edgar Cayce books, I am not a senior citizen though(I am 26) I am however always ready to meet my maker. I have "died" and come back twice and had too many close calls to count. I never saw any lights or any people but it felt really good to be out of my body both times once as a child I was just being pulled up really high above the trees and I had my back to the force that was pulling me and it felt like I was getting ready to go to sleep on long flight, the second time I just starred up at the stars for a second(they were breathtakingly beautiful) then I was jerked back into my body.

I've been through this dying business twice in the past 41 months. First time was a surprise, I had excruciating chest pain and passed out. I came to in the ER, they said they had to shock me back. Five months later my heart was stopped on purpose in order to perform open heart quintuple bypass surgery. They had trouble bringing me out of that. Five months after that they diagnosed me as having late stage prostate cancer. I've taken the hint and brought my will up to date and made my funeral request to be cremated. Ain't no coming back after that, I'm prepared to go.

I have died on the table after a heart attack, it changed my way of thinking, it doesn't hurt.

I have always been good Catholic, went to mass all the time and, believe in what my God tells me "If you believe in me, you will live forever"

I have also read these books but, I believe in Sylvia Brown, she has better opinion about death and "the other side" I have experienced her revalations.

Congrat's on being a survivor. As my father always said, heaven don't want him and the devil is afraid he'll take over.
Thankfully I don't have that out look, I think I am at peace with my maker. I have led a varied life, lots of up and downs, I have though tried to be good to people, help when I can and share what knowledge I have. I believe I'm on the right track.

Congratulations on being a survivor. Evidently God has more for you to do.

I have studied Edgar Cayce for many years. Including his readings regarding reincarnation.

I agree -- if you study Cayce, you have a whole new perspective on life and the after life. He has definately made me look at God/Jesus in a different light. It is good to know that God is gracious and forgiving and always give us another chance.

Best wishes to you and the best of health.

Yes I believe so I am a christian and believe.I'm not really ready to get on the train as of yet though. We are having a new grandson on 9-11.That will be 7 grandchildren. Still loving life.I would really like to hear roxy and Bob H's stories about oob experiences. If you want to share let us know and how to do it. That is fascinating.I have had experiences too but not oob.

I am ready and have been so for many years. All I am waiting on is for God to call me home. Only He knows when that will be and I do not sit around a dwell on it. I think He would want me make everyday count and enjoy my time here on earth. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and He is ready for me. Now the timing is up to Him and I will enjoy my life to the fullest in the meantime.

Good for you I am a Edgar Cayce fan, I have loaned out a lot of his books never got them back. Who cares I have a good memory I also believe in the Law of Karma,
nice to hear from a kindred spirit.
Good question have a star.

It's not the getting old, it's the slowing down.
Just can't get as much accomplished in a day as I used to.
Drives me crazy sometimes. other times, shrug, say "Oh, well", and go take a nap.

is one ever realy prepared ?
edgar cayce's books are fascinatinhg ,and i have had out of body experiences ,so i KNOW there is more to us than meets the eye .
this getting old business sux ,i refuse to do it !!!!

Am I ready... my funeral has been arranged in detail for two years now. and its all ready paid for. I only hope the silver prize band who march me to the crem play Colonel Bogey with plenty of swank..........................I'll be listening from wherever I happen to be...

I hope I am prepared. Not sure I would follow the writings of Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, but to each his own. I believe the biblical approach to meeting God.

I am prepared. I'm also a breast cancer survivor and for me it was just one of those bumps in the road. You go through it and move on... nothing heroic about it. Hell can't take me..... I have a restraining order. :)

Yes, I am ready, but, I don't want to go yet. Its summer and lots of swimming at the beach. I am a Christian so Jesus is the way for me.

Not that I have a death wish or anything, but I'm actually looking forward to meeting Him.

I am afraid to suffer.

Ready!

I sure am! I'm a Born Again Christian.

I have had many health problems since middle age. I have a very good attitude. Good doctors and alot of prayer have kept me alive.

In my 66 yrs I've had two OOBs, and both times I was very annoyed to find myself back alive. So that sorta knocks the edge off the drama.

I never think about it. When it happens, it happens.

I will live until biological functions stop, then I will be worm food.

I'm gonna live till I die and I believe the soul lives on forever.

I am ready!

i've been prepared for a long time. getting tired of waiting.
