Did anyone here ever have a near death experise?

I never had a near death experience, but someone close to me did. They saw a white light.

Which is the effect created when the brain stops receiving oxygen. The edges of your vision are the first things to go, also usually before the loss of consciousness, so it creates a lighted-tunnel effect in the eye-sight that people remember seeing when they come back to full awareness.

Add this to the proven hallucinatory potential during NDE's, as well as the loss of sense that creates a weightless or tingly feeling, and it's easy to see why people frame it in a religious light.

The video I posted earlier might deal with it. If it doesn't, Shermer's writings on the subject ("Why People Believe Weird Things"😉 do.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry, but I just had to come and laugh at the title of this thread.

Didn't even try.......just gave up and said the heck with it.......EXPERISE it is!

haermm

But no..........no I haven't. 😐

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Yes, I have, but it was when I was really little. I rarely think about it, actually have thought about it in probably years.

I was just a little kid, probably not even in school yet, or maybe in my first couple years of school. For some reason my dad and brother were off in the deep area of the water park we were at, not sure why I was left alone, but I wanted to be with them so badly, so I wanted to swim over there from another deep end. Needless to say, I never made it over there. I don't know who saved me, but someone did. I just remember trying to breath, and seeing water and air.......and the rest, I can't remember.

I did something like that. There was this floating platform (I can't remember what they're called, so screw it) that my brother, my now brother-in-law and I were going to swim to. However, before starting, I failed to mention my inability to float. I even took swimming lessons as a kid, and was only passed because it was determined that it was physically impossible for me to float. The only way for me to stay afloat is to paddle as fast as I can. Anyway, I was about halfway there when my arms started to give out. I knew I could only keep my head above water for another minute at most, less if I tried to go anywhere. I was too panicked to decide whether to go back to shore or keep going toward the platform. My brother and brother-in-law thought I could float, and they were totally exhausted from the swim there, so they were hesistant about coming out to get me. Anyway, I started toward them, since I knew I wouldn't make it one way or the other, and there was only my sister back at shore, who's not a strong swimmer. After I went a couple meters, the guys came out to get me, but we were all completely exhausted by the end. I was so tired I felt nauseous. Then my uncle passed by on a canoe and gave me a lifejacket to get back.

Wow. Could I have made this story any longer? Oh, well. There it is.

Funny. Reading some of these posts makes me wonder if I've ever had a near LIFE experience.
