A state of a higher power of consciousness that occurs when one is so close to death that the awareness of impending death is like that of surfing the fringe of death itself, and in that of the most peaceful and assuring manner.
My pre near death experience of the car careening toward mine had me realize that my body could or may not survive the collision, and hence my consciousness felt as if given over to a higher power; a peaceful and sublime place of surrender in getting ready to cross over to the other side.

Here's a sentence using "near" in the archaic sense of stingy:
Uncle Harold wouldn't even spring for a round of drinks, so cheap he bordered on near.
Note: This usage of "near" is not very common today. You might consider a more common synonym like "stingy," "cheap," or "miserly" depending on the desired emphasis.

Old Icelandic proverb, uttered two times in Njal's saga and meaning that duties often come together with family ties.
Thorgerd spoke to Ketil:"Oskuld is dead, as we know. Now keep in mind what you promised when you took him as yours foster-son".
"It may well be", he said, "that I made many promises then, because I never expected days like these would come. In fact, I'm in a difficult position, since I'm married to Njal's daughter - the nose is near to the eyes".
~Njal's saga, translated by Robert Cook
