I do KNOW that there is a hereafter but I don't think that my belief system is the question but I am seriously being troubled by these instantanious images that come at any moment!! i have a stable happy life other than that
Quoting: Guitarguy52 I'm curious. Why do you call these past 5 experiences "near death experiences"? Did you truly nearly literally and physically die and was it witnessed or confirmed by anyone else in any way, as for example a doctor or nurse? Couldn't some other term or terms be used to describe what you went through? Just trying to get clarification.
Dead as dead can be!!!! I can go into the gory details but one of the last ones was witnessed by my wife and nurse when I stopped breathing and coded!!! Is that close enough///
Ok. Thank you for that answer.
In 1978 I overdosed by taking 30 sleeping pills in an isolated motel room. I never vomited. I never received a visitor. For several days I was unattended. I then arose from my bed in perfect health.
Question? Did I die? Biochemistry says I did. In fact my doctor didn't believe I took the pills as he said "You should have at least had respiratory failure and died from that!". I think the experience qualifies as a NDE.
In 1985 I went through an experience where images and sounds in the real world triggered negative imaginations, thoughts and dreams that I experienced about going to hell, being in hell, being lost, etc. More specifically, I was unwillingly reliving my deathbed experience and being told by voices that "I didn't die because I was Judas Iscariot; or I was a devil; or I was resurrected to do evil, etc".
The terror these things caused me was so severe that I wouldn't eat or wash, and wouldn't work. When I went to sleep, I only had nightmarish lucid dreams. This went on for a solid year.
I also am very familiar with the occult, paranormal, witchcraft and Satanism. I even was a PR man for an exorcist for a time. I have experienced nightmarish clairvoyance, visions, precognition, out of body experiences, and attacks by unseen forces.
I had dreams where I was threatened by entities that wanted to control me, etc.
I knew terror and fear, and even fright inside out.
Nowadays, however, I no longer fear. In fact I am at total peace precisely because of my belief system.
So your belief system is relevant.
