Anybody Had A Nde Near Death Or Out Of Body Experience?

[tobytronic]

As the title says. Also, how did it affect you life post NDE or OBE?
'OBE' :-)
Thank you.

About 4 years ago I had a completely unexpected medical incident from which I nearly died. Fortunately, once I was over the incident, there were no ill effects, so need need for a change of lifestyle. What we did learn from the incident was how awkward it would be for my wife or myself if the other one were to die suddenly. We had been warned a few years ago the some companies will only deal with the account holder eg, power companies, telephones etc so we had arranged for these to be in joint names. What we hadn't thought about were trivial tasks that the other person could do but might not know EXACTLY how to do ; an example was the home banking where we both knew all the passwords etc but my wife was unfamiliar with the exact mechanism for actually doing it. Similarly she had never taxed the car, which happened to be due just as I was unable to do it. Such tasks are not difficult and certainly were not beyond her capabilities but she had never done them so was unsure of the fine detail.

I know someone who claims to be able to induce OBEs at will. I suspect he's dreaming though.

bhg, we have 'When I'm Dead' files containing all the information needed.

Very wise naomi. We had similar files even before the incident but that made us revise and update them. It's surprising what little tricks you need to know to get into bank accounts - they all want the same information but use different names for it. You think the instructions you have written down are clear but you need to get someone to try them out.

We try to keep ours updated. Only the other day I realised I didn't know the password for my husband's phone - so that's on the list too now.

My near-deaths weren't the interesting type which affected my whole attitude to life and death, or led me along a tunnel to a holy light.
Aged about 6 or 7 I decided to cross the main road. I looked carefully up and down; all clear, so I darted across. I heard a squeal of brakes and turned to see a double-decker bus whose 4 foot diameter front wheel was just grinding to a halt close to my left (trailing) heel.

Yes I have had. I still find it difficult to talk about.
I had originally gone to France after a near-breakdown - and I went with the wrong man (my marriage had broken down at the same time). he turned out to be psychopathic and twice tried to strangle me in our isolated farmhouse. Nearly succeeded once.
How did I get out of it?
I got clever, I woke up, I got strong and determined. France has no systems like 'Refuge'(not in rural France anyway) so I only had me.
I survived, then I met Mr. J2. Long story - a long time until I trusted him,.
So, yes, it changed my life. Here I am.

When I was six, me and my sister had chickenpox. I can remember waking up during the night with a fever and feeling thirsty. I continually 'walked' to the bathroom, touched the cold tap and started to drink from the tap and straight away was flung back to being back in bed feeling more thirsty. This happened at least five times.

When I was in my mid-twenties, my partner came home from work saying there was a baby seal stranded on the beach. I drove to the beach in NE Scotland and the *seal was still there. I ever so carefully touched it's tail to see if it was responsive and it bit me on my middle finger. I washed the tiny pin prick 'wound' and bathed it all night in neat disinfectant.
Seven days later I started to be ill. Really very ill. I spent four months in hospital. I remember a consultant sitting on the end of my bed most of the night, talking of how she thought she'd somehow failed. I came so close to death, my elderly parents drove the 360 miles to visit. At my worst, I remember leaving my body and floating to the far left corner of the single room I was now in. Then I remember feeling angry that this isn't really happening. I then felt as though I was sitting on the floor looking at myself.
Thirty years later, I have had quite a lot of operations. When I am feeling very ill, I quite frequently find myself at the top of the stairs and will 'snap' back into my body.
I believe that this is just the effects of being ill and nothing supernatural. However when my mum passed away with Covid in 2021, she was also in a single hospital room. A few moment before she died, she pointed to my sister and me about the light in the top right hand corner of her room.
It would be nice to believe in an afterlife, as it does make life so much easier. Unfortunately, I believe that the above is simply our brain misfiring?
*Baby seal was fine btw. I managed to get a phone number for the NE Scotland Seal Rescue - they really exist - and they did the same test that I did and he said the seal was simply tired and it would swim out when the tide came in. He was correct.
