Thread: Have you had a near death experience?

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.

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 ) 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.

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

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.
