Have you had a near death experience?

This forum seemed a bit empty and thought it was unfair all the other forums were socialising lol

Anyway, have you had a near death experience or know some one who has?

For me, I've had one experience, it seemed very surreal and floaty (if that makes sense). Let me tell you my story;

Back in 2003, I was in a car accident, riding in the back of a cab after a night out with some friends. I remember sitting in the middle of the taxi's back seats, leaning down behind the front passenger seat whilst trying to find my bag (I was a little drunk at this point). I can remb the conversation to the exact point during this; I had this obsession with finding my bad and the driver was leaning back and telling me we'll find it when we arrive, next thing I heard was the driver saying sh*t and a big bang and at that point I remb a force, then waking up in the front of the car trapped.

During my time in A&E, my heart stopped 3 times, the 3rd time was the longest, when I was apparently out for 3 mins and 52 seconds, this is when my experience took place. I remb being at the curtain entrance to this cubicle and watching 5 people around me working hard to get me going, looking round I saw my 2 friends, one comforting the other who was in tears. There was this pulling sensation I had to go somewhere and then a voice from nowhere spoke, telling me it's OK to go and not to worry that everything was going to be OK. I then remb saying I was tired and wanted to sleep, that I would go later, this voice reassured me I should come and that I can rest as long as I wished too but I had an urge to fight. I walked closer to my body, trying to fight off something that felt like a magnetic pull in the opposite direction to the way I was walking.............that's when everything disappeared, the next thing I remb was taking a deep breathe to everyone's amazement.

Safe to say I didn't break any bones but was black and blue for a good 7 - 8 weeks after :rolleyes:

I have had two once when I tried to walk in to a fire pit of flames. and the other time when I was under water while my brother and is friend was standing on my shoulders and would not get off.

Me too but somehow I think I get more bad than good lol

youd think once confronted with the possibility of death and walking away from it ie surviving it, one would obtain a grander apreciation for life, after I was hit by 4 weel drive, driven by a randome whom I intentionally told to killl me ( wont go into what motivated me to do so ) that is exactly the end result, Ive developed a much grander apreciation for life, 4give me if it seems like Im grand standing

Just as it was seconds from hitting me (I was on foot by the by when it happened) I could hear a voice saying, this is it,......

anyway long story short no more self destructive behaviour for me anymore, I tend to satay away from physical confrontations as a general rule now.

As some one once said "Ive been given another chance to live **** dying"

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I've had one, and it had to do with the type of work that a lot of us deal with here.

The group that I'm involved with deals with a lot of paranormal beings because we have to. We don't go out looking, but we happen to find anyway. Stuff happens around and to us, and we have to deal, so we do.

Let me first say that astral poisoning kind of sucks on the physical body as well. As you know, an astral wound if strong enough can reflect itself in phantom or even physical wounds of the body. It's the same with injuries that we can feel even though they happened in our past lives. I had to fight someone in the astral that I had known for a very long time, and to say the least, he was much stronger than I was. But me being me, I was stupid, and wanted to fight him before he tried his next move. So I did, and by some fluke or maybe the sole bit of good karma I had left, I won. But not without my fair share of hits. The poison he had on his blade was called taint.

Taint is essentially malice in its most pure form. But on the blade it worked as a poison slowly shutting my body down. I was lucky to have my friends with me because without them, I'm not sure how I would have made it out of that night. I can't say I remember more than a few words after the poison started. I do remember hearing crying from an important faerie friend of mine, so I assumed it was pretty bad. But again thanks to my friends, I'm here today. I did get a big slap on the back of the head for the stupidity, but in the end the problem of that night was solved.

Shallow water blackout.

I was freediving alone...(bad move to start with right there), down a buoy line onto a wreck. After a good couple of dives I was on the bow of the wreck and all of a sudden not feeling so groovy.

I remember looking up and thinking..."jesus the surface looks far away...time to mission", (I was at 17-18 meters). I think I ascended to quickly, dropped my Oxygen partial pressure to fast...at around 10 meters my vision started closing in, (called browning out)...Last thing I remember doing was dropping my weight belt at 5 meters and thinking..."**** it, not making this one"

Next thing I know I'm floating facedown on the surface, (luckily I'm positively buoyant) drifting with the current about 50 meters away from the wreck. I have exactly no idea what happened in between...I also have no idea how I cleared my snorkel to breath. My suspicion is that as I blacked, I exhaled and that cleared my snorkel. Good thing, else I might have drowned on the surface in clean and glassy conditions...and that would have just been embarrassing. :o

I came close

One time while i was buzzing on mdma at a woodparty, i had taken about 2 grams and a half at once, i dident feel any effects for up to an hour, so i took another half g. Then it hit me badlly.

I remember all my top-half torso became locked and my hands twisted in a odd posture. I remember feeling really ill asif 'something' was 'just about to happen' but it never did. The feeling builtup and i was sure i was going to die or have a heart attack. I remember laying on the floor with people walking past me looking at me asif to say 'hes not coming out of this one'. I remember everything went quite asif all sound had stopped, or that i had lost my hearing capability's in my brain. Thinking that maybe my braincells were popping, or that my brain was flooding with water because i had drunk too much water. I went blind for a bit, allmost asif i can only remember pictures of what happened. But i was ok in the morning

Glad i dont do that anymore, it's a waste of time and money.

I have come very close to death, but there was no white light or angels, only despair. It was an awful experience, and I hope the ones responsible are punished.

I dont know if this would be called a near death experience or not, but, I have been brought to a particular 'place' through a mirror while scrying.

What kind of place?

When I finished my last chemo round, I wasn't feeling to good, but at the time I was getting a divorce, sold the farm, and had to live in a trailer at the lake. Sounds nice living at the lake for the summer, but let me fill in the peices. At the lake with my soon to be ex, 3 kids, 1 dog, 2 cats, and the ex was an alcoholic.
OK, enough of the rambling, after a few days I wasn't feeling good so my ex drove me to the hospital that was about 45 min. to and hour away. Saw the doc, he sent me back to the lake. He told me that I can't catch the flu from a bear, and that dead people had better stuff in their veins that I did. I was like a walking dead person. I couldn't go out in the day time, cause the sun would fry me in minutes, could walk very far, so one of our nieghbours put out a chair so that I could rest on the way back from the bathroom. Other campers were starting to wonder, the only time many would see me would be at night. Can we say skinny, bald, very pale skinned lady wondering around in the forest at night scary.
But I am thankful that things turned out great, got crap for the farm, but at least I got rid of that dead beat husband. Oh ya, and the cancer, been clean for 10 years.

Im glad things turned out better for you in the end. Sounds like you have been through it.

I've been close to death (Many a time but this is something that I didn't engineer). When I was 15, I was on vacation with my family, in Florida. Generally a good time. Well, I was running on the beach, to get out of a sudden, massive downpour when everything went the oddest hue of violet.

I was struck by lightning.

Nope. No light at the end of the tunnel (Which I'm told is a train :rolleyes:) No 800' stay-puff marshmallow Jesus, just a moment of violet violence and another of just "being" and then I was in the hospital.

Best thing for me, really. I kind of underwent a personality overhaul. Let's just say I'm no longer the cheerleader, Britney wannabe that I was. Side effects? Sure. I get these intense headaches from time to time and sometimes my whole body feels like it's on fire. A friend of mine has worked with me on that (Plenty of tai chi and chi kung as well as a healing ceremony or three) and it's done wonders.

Well, that's about as interesting a story as I can relate. Other close calls involved poisonous herbs and questing for such states.

Well, I was inebriated, BEYOND MY NORMAL COMPREHENSION, yet, still had a grasp on things. I decided to do some mirror work, due to that type of mentality had the best results, at the time. You have to remember, I was an adept when it came to higher magick, so ofcourse, things were BOUND to go downhill.

Either way, here it is...

I went to the mirror and drew in the energy from it, to manifest in my body. Doing this before, I've seen MANY (many many many many many) things, that have reflected back my spiritual side, aka, my astral body.

Well, generally speaking, as I was manifesting this energy, things apparently went WAY WRONG. The energy, or, an entity, within my body, at the time, due to a possession in 04, drew my energy back into the mirror.

I wont go into the details of THAT entity here or anything, but I will say, by the time I realized I was out of the mirror, wherever I was when I went there, which I called Hell, yeeeaaahhhh, the left side of my face was burnt, scarred, really, charred to the tissue, and my left eye was white.

To this day, I have NOT seen out of the eye 100% clearly, and also, have seen other people with similar faces, even while being sober from any type of illegal or even legal substances, for a little over 6 months...

What I would call a moment in Hell, others would call an experience of a lifetime. What you would call an experience of a lifetime, I would call a moment in Hell, ya know?

Since then, I have changed. I even posted my Biography here on the site @ one point, which is why I said I was an old member in my introduction.

I havent made any mistakes like that in a VERY VERY LONG time, so my practice has adapted for the better. I just now, KNOW, what to and not do, anymore.

So maybe you could have been attacked in a dream or anotherworld, and that attack left psyical effects? I've heard of that before. There is a crippled girl i know who just 'woke up' like it, there's no explaination of what happened. She claims to have had a dream where somthing was trying to break her back on the night in question. Very worrying

Thats my just of it. But the thing is, I was awake during the 'experiment'.

I was told by my doctor i had cancer, and it turned out to be a cerebri tumor. They told me i had 3 months to live. kaiser was wrong they drained my spinal fluid and ive been on medication for epilepsy my whole live.

NDE's ... yes had a few what I would call "real" ones and also what I would call "self induced" ones...

Very first was when I was about 4 - 5 year old, walking back from the local shop down the street with my mother, I was trailing behind, and had a bag of sweets :) and had what we called a "gob stopper" it was a large ball that had different flavours as you sucked on it on went through the different layers coated on it... Well I bit the thing and it shot down the back of my throut blocking my wind pipe... I recall not knowing what to do and very quickly the lack of oxygen had my legs week and I was desperatly trying to reach my mother before I collapsed onto the pavement.

At about that point I found my soul (?) was at one with the whole of nature, I was some 30 foot or so above my body and had no form at all, I could see the wind and could could see for miles and miles and also could hear other bodyless voices talking, I could hear the birds singing also... then a voice called to me and welcomed me and urged me to move on... But I was intreeged to stay and watch what was goign to happen with these "things" below me, I had no comprehension as to what my physical body was and what my mother was to me they were just simply "things" that existed and I could see that the little "thing" was in some sort of distress and wondered if the other big "thing" would be able to help it or not... Sounds bizzare I know...

Anyway after a short while the big "thing" (my mother) turned around and ran to the little "thing" (my physical body) and picked it up off teh ground and gave it a shake, then realised that there was something stuck in its windpipe, and the second she touched that object and managed to dislodge it, I got sucked back into my physical body and straight away I looked up at teh point in the sky I had just been and felt a feeling of not wanting to be stuck in this small physical body at all !

That day changed my life, I began to ask to be read Bible storys as it was the only thing that I could even possibly relate to at that age as for what happened, and of course nobody belived me at the time... That is what began my search for answers even at that very young age....

My second death experience is but of nothing, in fact it was a Samadhi experience, but death none the less. funny thing is it was in a place of many, an yet I was in a place of none, absolute nothingness; no self, no thing, no one. I had awoke to a female walking by me with a smile directed at me, as well as my self smiling(think it was in retribution, smiles are contagious).

the first death I should not speak of at this time...I will only say that shells or skins have shed to oblivion, the ice has melted.

I choked on a piece of steak and lost consciousness and was saved by my boyfriend. The disturbing part is I was aware of not being able to breathe and it was surreal and frightening at the same time. When I was twelve I was having surgery and the doctors lost me twice on the table. I do remember a golden room and dead relatives and other people calling my name.

Living in the city, traffic tends to get pretty heavy.

Back in my young and "uncaring" years, a combination of jay-walking and a speeding car caused a broken leg (three places, bone sticking out of the skin, foot turned backwards. Still have the x-rays). It felt as if I was unconscious for only 20 seconds, though it was for at least a few hours. Apparently I lost a LOT of blood.

I just remember a voice telling me to "turn around and wake up."

When my eyes opened, I was in the hospital, with a speed cast around my leg (which was throbbing in pain. Not sure how I was able to bear it).

Lesson: Don't jay-walk.
