Thanks for the interesting question, and the answer is no, have never been dead. But my communication was with someone who died, and I was fortunate enough to talk with them, and see them :). It's a mind blowing experience, somthing the human brain can barely take. Extremly taxing and powerful on the brain...expecially the shinning light. I have never seen anything like it. Like I said the pictures that you see, it's exactly like that but way more bright when you see the real thing. Its one of the things you can never prove scientifically, but I'm the last person on earth who would make up a story. I wouldn't beleive it if I didn't see it for myself.
