325. OF DEATH AND DYING, CLAIRAUDIENCE, LIFE AFTER DEATH
When my dad was in a coma and his passing was iminent, I heard my grandmother come and call his name to come home. I “saw” her at the foot of his bed holding on to his feet and call to him. No one else in the room either saw or heard anything.

600. OF DEATH AND DYING, NEAR DEATH, TELEPATHY
As a trauma nurse in surgery, a patient had a ruptured anneurysm, and wisked off to the OR for emergency surgery. I was in the adjacent hallway watching through the window alone, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, so I telepathically connected with the source of the tapping on my shoulder. It was the soul of the man who was receiving emergency surgery. The surgical team was resusitating him, I spoke with the patient and reassured him that all was well and that if he chose to go back to his body, for the team was doing everything they can to assist in his survival. He did go back to his body and the surgery continued.

357. OF DEATH AND DYING, NEAR DEATH
As a paramedic I deal with on scene death every so often. Ever since I was a teenager and there was a death of a loved one or someone I came in contact with on the ambulance. I usually have a dream of them crossing over with the help of someone. Only one of my patients I had no dream of.

19. OF DEATH AND DYING, PREMONITION
I received word that my maternal grandmother was hospitalized. Of course, I went immediately to see her. When I asked what was wrong with her, my mother said she didn’t know. Grandmother would accept food from no one but me. I developed feelings about her ill health. “Lung Cancer, this is what’s wrong with her”, I explained.

Of course, everyone told me I was insane. Didn’t matter because I knew. My mother was so tired, so I convinced her to go home with me for a few hours to rest. But, within 1.5 hours, I was struck by the appearance of a clock, and told my mother – we had to go back NOW. She wouldn’t budge. Finally I told her that her mother would pass at 2:36 p.m., and tried everything to convince her. Finally I left without her.

I didn’t want grandmother is die alone. When I entered the room, I felt that “others were near”, held her hand, and told her that my mother wasn’t coming, and it was o.k. to her to go into the light. She grabbed my hand tightly and I felt her spirit left. The time? 2:36 p.m.

Later that same night, my boyfriend started looking at my strangely. He explained that a warm beautiful white glow surrounded my shoulders and head. I was comforted by this, but perplexed also because he didn’t believe in the things I did. My mother ordered an autopsy – cause of death. Multiple Organ failure due to Lung Cancer.

On that day I was sitting in her hospital room with her son and her sister (…), her son … was on a chair next to her bed, … was in a chair in the corner of the room and I was sitting on another chair behind …, He was watching the T V in the room, … had fallen asleep and mum was in a coma and had been for about a week.

I realised that I could no longer hear the noise in the room from the TV nor could I hear the noise from outside the room, usual hospital activity noise, then I heard a slight buzzing sound and looked at mum, she had opened her eyes and was staring at the corner of the room at the ceiling, she smiled, raised her hand towards that area, then closed her eyes and stopped breathing, then a yellowish soft glow/light appeared around her body, slowly the light started to lift and I could see mum in the light raising up with it but her body was still on the bed, I saw her float to the top corner of the room reach out her hand then another hand grasped hers and she left. the buzzing stopped, the noise came back and I grabbed nurse to tell her that mum had gone, which she had. About 5 months after that I saw her standing in our hallway surrounded by the same yellow glow. Hope that describes it enough, tried to keep it short for you.

1073. OF DEATH AND DYING, PREMONITION
I was driving to the hospital late (12:15am or so) to visit a dying aunt (Favorite aunt). When I got within a block of the hospital I was overcome by a feeling that she didn’t need me anymore. She was in a better place and that me going there would simply hurt.

I turned around and returned home and went to bed. The next morning my uncle and cousins were sitting at the kitchen table and announced that my aunt had passed away at about 12:15am that morning. I suddenly had the feeling she was the one who told me not to go to the hospital.

I heard this man speak a couple of weeks ago. I reprint this outstanding description of essentially what I heard….

Eben Alexander III, MD, has been an academic neurosurgeon for the last 25 years, including 15 years at Harvard Medical School. He dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from alterations in their level of consciousness, none of whom was able to provide much insight concerning their experience.

In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he became a comatose patient. For reasons still obscure, he was overcome by bacterial meningitis, rendered comatose on a ventilator in the ICU within hours.

His physicians were stunned to find that the culprit was E. coli, which never causes memingitis in patients over 3 months of age unless they were infected in a neurosurgical procedure (which he had not been).

After 6 days on triple antibiotics, showing no response, with little neurological function remaining, his physicians had few words of encouragement for his family.

On day seven, he opened his eyes, to the surprise of all! However, his earliest recollections were strange and involved no recall of his life before coma. Like a newborn, he had no functioning language, nor knowledge of this world, our culture or loved ones surrounding him.

Memories from the time in coma were inexplicable. The purest and most extraordinary part of his journey happened deep in coma. His entire neocortex, that outer surface of the brain that makes us human, was totally disengaged by the meningitis.

How was it possible for that rich experience to originate in his brain?

His story offers a critical key to the understanding of consciousness, spirituality and human existence. The human part of his brain, the neocortex, died for a week.In the midst of that, he had an extraordinary experience that could not have occurred in his brain, given our current understanding of neuroscience.

The implications are mind-boggling!

In analyzing the scientific possibilities and grand implications, he sees a more complete reconciliation of modern science and spirituality as a natural product. He has been blessed with a complete recover, and is now writing a book about his most powerful, life-changing story.

This seems a fascinating story. Please tell us more about what he said of his experience.

In the meantime, with the information you have given me Ive Googled this:

Advance Praise for Love After Death:
A Neuroscientist’s Odyssey Through the Afterlife
By Eben Alexander III, MD

“Dr Eben Alexander’s near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. In my opinion, Dr Alexander is living proof of an afterlife. The extraordinary circumstances of his illness and his impeccable credentials make it very hard to formulate a mundane explanation for his case. For me, it is difficult to shake the feeling that his experience was somehow divinely ordained. Dr. Alexander’s book deserves to be a major international bestseller, and I believe it will be.
Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, author of Life Beyond Life

“Love After Death is more than just an awe-inspiring account of a profound encounter with spiritual reality.Dr. Alexander’s neuro-science career taught him that near-death experiences are brain-based illusions, and yet his personal experience left him dumbstruck. His honest struggle to make sense of this unforgettable journey is a gripping story, unique in the literature of spiritual experiences, that may well change how we understand our role in the universe.”
Bruce Greyson, MD, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences, University of Virginia School of Medicine; co-editor, The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation

“If ‘Central Casting’ was given an assignment to locate the most highly qualified person, who has had a near-death experience (NDE), to have him write one or more books about it, lecture about it, and appear in the media to promote it around the world, no one could find a more perfect candidate than neurosurgeon Eben Alexander III, M.D. He has all the necessary academic credentials for this assignment, is warm emotionally, very articulate, has undergone a profound spiritual transformation, and is highly motivated to unify science with spirituality…

I firmly believe Love After Death will be one of the three top selling books of all time on the subject of near-death experiences – and that it will authenticate and validate NDEs more than any other book that has been written on this topic, with the exception of Dr. Moody’s first book. In my opinion, Love After Death will sell millions of copies that will create much wider acceptance of near-death experiences and the many spiritual lessons they contain.”
Bill Guggenheim, Coauthor of Hello From Heaven!

Dr. Alexander is an academic neurosurgeon who spent 54 years honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain and mind worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection changed all of that – completely!

He was shocked to find the hyper-reality of that spiritual realm which many had reported in NDEs. He has spent the last three years reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. His spiritual experience is totally consistent with the leading edges of scientific understanding today.

Together science and spirituality will thrive in a symbiosis offering the most profound insight into fundamental Truth yielding unimaginable power. The keystone is in global progression of individual conscious awakening.

Many in both the scientific and religious (or spiritual) realms must denounce their addiction to prejudiced, closed-minded, dogmatic beliefs in order to open our awareness to this novel synthesis of understanding Truth.

By probing deeply into our own consciousness we transcend the limitations of the human brain and of the physical-material realm.

The spiritual realm is real. Seamless blending of science and spirituality will occur. His book should be finished soon, and available in 2012.

“Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that behind all the discernible concatenations there remains something subtle intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am in point of fact religious.” – Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

Fascinating Bill….

Cheers

Rosemary
