re: Near Death Experiences

As a young teenager, I had a Plane ticket on Eastern Airlines Flight 66 to fly from New Orleans to New York City in order to play the Easter Bowl Tennis Tournament in March 1975. At relatively the last minute I decided to stay home with family for Easter and cancelled the flight which was in 2 days. The Eastern Airlines flight 66 crashed and 113 people on board the plane died. There were a few survivors. That was a different type of near death experience.

My dad had one during a major cardiac event when he was 30. I regret not talking to him about it later in life after we had both been more spiritually enlightened, but I know he felt pure comfort, but felt a need to return to us.

I’ve spoken about mine on here more than once. I went through the long bright tunnel to a realm surrounded by white clouds, met St. Peter, etc. He was kinda dickish, but maybe I deserved it. The reality of being dead hadn’t really set in yet and I was being a bit of a smartass.

Anyways, there is a heaven, the gates really are Pearly AF, and there is 100% a hell you do NOT want to visit. Even the suburbs contain terrors beyond your comprehension, makes Jackson look like 30A. Anyways, Heaven wasn’t ready for me (or more accurately, I for it), and Hell couldn’t hold me, so once I completed a series of trials, I was sent back.

This might sound really crazy, but when I was young like 11 or so, I went through a month long stretch of electrocuting myself by putting my finger on metal part of plug and putting it in halfway into socket. I did it first on accident plugging in a lamp. The plastic part of its prong you hold onto was split/broken/small on it, and it felt so bizarre. Almost like the first time you bust, was so strange. I did it like 8 more times and stopped.

Anyways a wall socket definitely won't kill you unless you're just really unhealthy to begin with. I just searched it's 120 volts and anywhere from 0.1 to 1 amperes.

There are two stories that intrigue me. One is about an NDE, and the other is a ghost story of sorts.

1. Dr. Eben Alexander was a brain surgeon in the Raleigh NC area. He contracted a rare disease and was pronounced brain dead. When he came out of his coma, he had vivid recollections of what he had experienced. The problem is that the part of the brain that controls memories was deader than Elvis. He should have had no memories whatsoever, but he was able to recall in great detail what he saw/felt/etc. He wrote a book about it.

2. A family had to give their dog away, because they were moving to someplace where they wouldn't be able to keep it. A local farmer took him in. A couple of years later, the dog showed up at their new home. They immediately recognized him, though he was dirty as all hell and looked pretty rough.
They bathed him, took pictures with him, fed him and played with him. After a while, the mom let the dog outside and calls the farmer to say that the dog was at their place. The farmer said that can't be. The dog had been hit and killed by a car the week before. She went outside and the dog was gone, but they still have the pictures.

There are just things we don't understand about our world and the universe around us.
