280. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES
I went to a `health professional’ for a normal treatment, and instead, was hypnotized and put through a near-death experience plus other awful ordeals. I was made to `forget’ for a while, but then my memory did return, though all out of order and jumbled up over a period of several months. I did feel that it was a nightmare – the recall of what had occurred. There were aspects of what may have been occult experimenting as part of what I was subjected to.
Someone I confided in, even suggested that it may have been some covert government thing, but I have no idea to this day (since it happened in the late 1970’s.) For many years I was unable to talk about it without becoming distressed, and the event left me permanently more fearful, totally untrusting of `health professionals’ and also seemingly far too `open’ to various psi and occult and after-life influences of all kinds. Since that experience, however, I did continue my education and earned both a B.A. and M.A.

102. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES
I have had several near death experiences in my life. This particular one was a fatal auto immune disease of which I was only given half an hour to live. I had a near death experience at the time, but did not realise what this experience was called until I read about it in a Readers Digest book 2 yrs later. I was the first in the Medical History books to have survived … in 1978 at … Hospital. I am called a miracle. I have done immense research into near death experience, and find all paranormal is interrelated. This particular experience was a little bit unusual because I felt I was in a ‘tree trunk’ environment – dark brown. Felt beautiful, and soooo alive. I would humourously say that it definitely was the greatest, most wonderful, spiritual ‘orgasm’ I have experienced. Upon research, not everyone experiences a happy one. White light and pure joy.

079. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES
My experiences are too numerous to mention briefly. They began at birth when I was fully aware and thought at first I was an adult. Strangely, I understood & still remember what was being said around me. I began talking in sentences at a few months & walked early too. At age 9 I had a near-death experience. I began Transcendental Meditation at age 15, and then became clairvoyant til I dampened this ability by ‘experimenting’ with substances in the 70s. These paranormal experiences have been a contant, running thru my life. I’m now 52.

331. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES, SCIENCE AND RELIGION
I had attempted suicide, and had a near death experience. Of which for the first time in my life i felt an overwhelming sence of peace and love. I KNEW i was on the lap sitting on Christ, i was told to go back, that i had work yet to do, I wanted to stay, but, felt i needed to obey.
I asked what did i need to do, so to come back, and everything after that was blank… I awoke in a hospital bed. My daughter said that the ER nurses were unnerved, and KNEW that i had had a near death experience which affected them. I apparently at first blocked it out. i believe i wasn’t to remember them. and the meds i was put on.
It has made an abundantly different outlook on death, i was before terrified of death, i know, and i was trying to kill myself it seemed… Not the truth.. i was severely abused mentally and emotionally by my husband / then ex. An incident triggered by him.. .. I couldn’t handle lifes pain anymore..

696. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, DEATH AND DYING
It was … my 19 year old son near death – deep laboured breaths – asleep – in my bed. Sitting at his side I saw and felt a presence. I kept looking – sure I was seeing something – yet whatever it was my eyes were not able to register what I knew was there. I ran to get sketch pad and pencils and sketched – first looking at “nothing’ and then drawing what I still wasn’t seeing with my physical eyes. Completed – I was shocked to see the figure I had sketched – holding my son’s body lovingly and gently cradling his meager 54 pounds – the feeling was of love, and yet the vision was of what I would not believe – it seemed extra-terrestial to me.
In a state of shock – I quickly and lightly coloured over the image to hide it from others yet still preserve it for myself. In research I have since seen the image portrayed. Even now my graditude for the vision and physical energy which seemed a physical expression of love and peace, leaves me perplexed – believing – yet sill surprised, almost shocked.
