Near Death Experiences Shared

[Anonymous]

Regardless of religion or belief, many people have had NDEs. Each person may interpret their experience differently. Did you have an NDE and, if so, can you describe it? How did you interpret it? Has it strengthened your faith? If you haven't had a NDE but a loved one has, how did they describe it and how did they interpret it?

Please, this is not an invitation for atheists to re-interpret or challenge religious people's personal interpretation of their NDE. If this is your intent, stay off.

I've had many near death experiences. To me they all seemed like a normal dream. They did not impact my faith one way or the other.

are non-religious people invited to share their NDE here?

Yes I said regardless of religion. I just ask that no one try to challenge or mock a religious persons interpretation of their NDE.

But I have a feeling religious folks expect this thread to be sabotaged and derailed like the others were, or relugious folks will be mocked.

NDEs like floating above the hospital bed, walking into the light type of thing? What's happened to you that you've had "many" of these?

[Anonymous]

Just to be clear... You and your spouse making love is not considered NDEs. Just saying...

Did these happen when you were sleeping, or were you on the operating table? I think (but an no expert on this) that NDE's are when your body is in actual distress and usually take place in hospitals.

I was told by a friend who had an NDE after a motorcycle accident that death is peaceful, life is eternal. He felt absolutely certain about it. I am not sure why he came back, as he is still suffering from the accident and now addicted to pain killers, but this was his account.

I have a prebirth memory. As a child I asked my parents if I had ever been ill or had a crisis, and they said no. But it is my baseline experience and was very influential to me a very early age.

Basically it was an experience of the Light. No tunnel or travel. I was there. It was a realm of formlessness but full of living Light and the Light is basically how I understand God. The Light was so incredibly full of wisdom and love and life. It was like the love of the Light for me was what gave me life itself. It was also like the Light was beauty and wisdom itself.

I was very confused as a young child about the difference between that experience of beingness and consciousness in a nonphysical realm, and this experience here.

I've been looking for it ever since. Didn't learn about near death experiences until I was about 20 though. Naturally I am interested.

You commonly hear people speculate that light experiences are babies memories of overhead lights at birth and I am saying - no way.

Well if you must know ... I have a neuromuscular disease which effects my ability to breath. There have been a dozen times or so, sometimes at home sometimes in a hospital, where I had to be revived.

PP, did your soul travel outside the room and hear conversations? Were you clinically dead?

This is going down a weird path but bare w me here...when I was younger I did mushrooms and was tripping for about twelve hours. I left w a profound take away that life was 100% grounded in calm and that I had reached a deeper understanding that we are all universally ok. Like we're all fundamentally safe bc there is beauty and peace beyond us. I don't want to be like, once I got high and it changed my life, but whenever I hear about peoples take aways from NDEs I always, always feel like I got a moment to see what they meant with out the trauma or scare.

I would never tell anyone this in real life bc it actually had a big impact on me and I sound like such a drugged loon.

I haven't myself, but a close friend has. She didn't see light or anything like that. More like everything was in one really brilliant color. She could see herself in the bed and hear everything that was going on. She could hear the doctors telling her to stay with them.

She found out later that she had reacted to a medication and had almost died.
