Answer 1

I had a brief flash back of my life and i saw a beautiful white light that made me feel relaxed and peaceful.

Answer 2

My first death out of body experience was when I in the army, I was knocked out by a bullet,by this I mean a bullet hit my helment and my head hit the tree I was under. I saw only that the vc were closing to our territory, I went back into my body and told my captain, he was alittle hard to convience, I told the caplin and then the captain believed me. My second one was when I had surgery open heart, and this one was really cool, I so a light bright very bright,I lefted my body and saw figures I did not know, trees and fields and very peaceful, it was short, the one figure said to me, it isn't your time to go , your not done helping people, within minutes I saw my body on the operating table and I then I entered it. My life hasn't changed much, except I know things that happien before they happien,and my 6th sense is greater now.

It so happened some 80 years back my grandmothers mother died and all the family customs were done and at the time of taking the body out of the house, she got up and the next moment a old person next house passed away and I don`t know how far its true since our brain will not work if the blood is not passed for more then 2 min.

Answer 4

Out of body experience, while at work. My co-workers thought I had died and called the ambulance. They said I was ice cold and they couldn't find a heart beat. I saw myself being hunted as a witch. There's more to this story, of course. Too long to type in here. But that experience is the major factor why I am Wiccan today....and loving it :)

What have we learned from life after death experiences?

We have all heard stories of people who have seemed to be dead - without vital signs for several minutes - only to be revived. Many of these people tell of traveling at high speeds through tunnels or of seeing brilliant white lights or even of coming face to face with God.

These life after death experiences raise many questions that directly reflect on Christianity - questions like, "What happens when we die?" and "Is it possible to communicate with the dead?"

Even Christian believers disagree on what the Bible says on these matters. Some say those who die fall into a kind of dreamless sleep until Judgment Day. Others say the souls of the dead are immediately subjected either to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether they believe in Jesus. Still others say our souls remain conscious, but exist in a kind of limbo until the Day of Judgment arrives.

Life after death experiences presuppose the soul remains conscious and aware after death. Those who have these experiences often report they retain the ability to see, to hear, to think, to feel - but they are unable to communicate with anyone. While the experience may be confusing, people report they are suffused with joy - partly as the result of being removed from the suffering of the body.

It is interesting that many life after death experiences are accompanied by a distinct sense of being two people - one physical and one spiritual. And the spiritual being is completely indifferent to the suffering self.

Perhaps this is one reason the Apostle Paul tells us to die to ourselves, putting God ahead of our selfish desires:

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).

Researchers report that about one in seven of those who are revived in such circumstances report seeing a brilliant light or even beings they interpret as angels, Jesus, or God. Some people report a sense of having their lives "reviewed."

The effect of the review is often beneficial and may lead some to accept God, others to rededicate themselves to what they perceive as God's purpose for them.

Some Christians have claimed that after-death experiences are beyond the purview of God and are therefore demonic in nature. But it seems unlikely that being subjected to demonic influences would lead so many people to a closer walk with God.

In Luke 9:50, Jesus is asked by His followers what to do about a man who is casting out demons even though he is not a disciple. Jesus replies, "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you."

In fact, for God to be truly omnipotent, He must be in control of these sojourns into death. Perhaps He uses themto direct His people.
