Has anybody here had a near death experience

[AnGeLoFlIfE]

i was just wondering beacuse i have never heard of near death experiences except for them doctor shows and stuff like that.

[Aquila ka Hecate]

Yes, AoL,I have.

Technically 'dead' in hospital about 4and a half years ago.

The experience itself changed my life-I became a metaphysical naturalist and an atheist, where I'd been Wiccan previously.

I must point out that nothing in NDE s can be considered unequivically supernatural-even though the experience is weird in the extreme, it's all down to that interesting little phenomenum known as the dying brain.

The more outrageous stories you here are just that-stories.

Best Wishes,

No, though I was "turned off" for about a day for brain surgery. Maybe I just don't have a soul!! :smoke: :lol:

I'd ask Heathen Dawn, he has done some looking into this. He and I may interperate them different (my best guess is closer to Aquila's view), but Heathen Dawn should be able to point you towards more information.
