Near Death Experience

What does that mean?

I NEED to believe that this hellworld is NOT all there is.

I need to believe I'm a billionaire, but that doesn't make it true.

to each his own.

Personally, I've never had a near-death experience, yet, I've probably have had a few of those "out of the ordinary experiences" e.g., deja-vu

Taking into account reports of experiences (that is reports anecdotal in scope, yet free of new-agey nonsense) on how near death experiences, and possible past-life memories may be connected, this link may be of interest:

I've had too many paranormal experiences to just sweep it under the rug.

Same here, auntblabby.

i'd be glad to hear more about them

How do you know they are paranormal?

what can cause, in the middle of the night, a basement to erupt into a cacophony of wails, drones, grinding metallic scraping, thumping, booming, banging, moaning etc. a few nights after my mom died in the house, then when I shouted "ALRIGHT ALREADY I HEAR YOU!! !" for the noises to stop dead cold [no pun intended]?

why, when I was sitting in my army barracks quarters listening to music, when all of a sudden the music was interrupted for a few seconds, long enough for me to "hear" in my head, the voice of one of my barracks-mates saying "damn it, I forgot my keys!" - then as I pondered why I had that thought, I heard tromping coming up the hallway from the parking lot, and a rap at the door with my room mate yelling "lemme in, I forgot my keys!"?

why, when I was at work in hospital, rolling an instrument cart rolling down the hallway when I spotted a coworker chatting with another coworker, I suddenly blurted out to him, "(hospitalized co-worker's name) came out of the surgery alright, she said hi."? the coworker asked me, "how the hell did you know I was gonna ask you that?" to which I replied with a shrug. he looked at me askance.

why, at work in the same hospital, did I, in the breakroom with a few other people, watching ross perot [1990s] on the tv set, suddenly blurt out "he's finished, he's gonna drop out!"? and within a week he dropped out of the race.

the above examples are just a few.

I've had this feeling of perfect love once, in a religious meditation... it changed me. Yet, I'm not a believer kind of person, I'm a doubter by my nature, so I still don't know if it was really God or just my brain producing something it desperately needed at that moment. I could accept both options, I guess.

A broken furnace+coincidence?


You hear things that don't register with your conscious mind.


A good guess? Knowing your coworker's predictabiliy?


Because no one really liked him?

Paranormal is something you want to believe, so you dismissed perfectly rational explanations, that may be unlikely, but nothing is more unlikely than the existence of the paranormal.
