paranormal Out of control Psychic #1


I would like to communicate with people who have had experiences as I very much feel that talking other people (who will not look at me like I'm from Mars) would help.

My first experience was after my father passed away in 1983. I was in my office and just felt him and Jesus (I wasn't thinking of him at the time) in my office and had an incredible feeling of bliss. It only lasted about 20 seconds. I learned about a month later that one of my sisters (once I decided to tell her my story) had a similar experience while driving her car. We surmised it could have been the same day.

Nothing more happened until 1998 when I feel I had an Out-of Body experience following surgery. I was standing at the window of my hospital room and was telepathically talking to someone. I do not remember what was said except at the end of the experience when I began folding into like a small box and asked "What is happening, am I dying." Then a thought came to me that I needed to stay for my mother (who had a serious stroke and I was the one who cared for her). Then I seemed to fall backward back into myself on the bed. I know I did not climb into that bed, but was suddenly sitting up in my bed saying "Thank you God for letting me live." Another thing I did (when I was in my body of course) was to pull out my IV, get dressed except for my coat, pack my little suitcase and go down to the lobby. I remember bits and pieces once I was downstairs and in the lobby. I told the people in the lobby that my lung needed to go back into place or I could die. Actually I was in much pain at the time and my asthma was very very bad. Felt like I had a pinhole to breathe through. Actually I should not have physically been able to do what I was doing. They called my husband to come in. He said I was all gray, shaking uncontrollably, my breathing was very bad, and that I looked about 80 years old (I was 47 at the time). 

The next day I felt I must have been hallucinating due to the vicodin that they had given me for pain. My roommate overheard and told my husband and me that earlier in the day I was scaring her as I looked like a "dead person" and seemed to be gliding a few inches off the floor when I went to the bathroom instead of walking. I had felt like I was doing that at some point but not sure when (maybe sometime prior to my going downstairs). Perhaps angels were assisting me in walking; I do not know. Anyway she dismissed it at the time as thinking she did not see what she saw. Later when I pulled out my IV, etc. she was down in the visitor's lounge and did not witness that. Also the morning after my "incident", my doctor came in and told me I had a partially collasped lung. How I knew about my lung when I was in the lobby, I do not know. I then took those two things to let me know I had not been hallucinating. 

My mother passed away in September 1998 (six months after my surgery). I had many visitations from her after that. Some I simply could not dismiss. In the past year (twice) I have been getting medium-like experiences while meditating. It was like a picture show going quite fast in my head somewhat like watching a viewmaster. This past Christmas, in the evening, I saw "shadows" of two people (I perceived to be two males) but did not have a feeling of who) and a dog. This is the first time I saw anything. I had a vistation from my husband's uncle in 2005 (smelled his cigarette smoke) and was "told" my mother-in-law who was ill would pass that Friday which she did. I have had other smells of people who passed (they would happen twice in the same day when I was not thinking about them). All of my experiences have been while I was awake.

Anyway I would like to communicate with someone who has experienced similar things. Thank you for reading my e-mail and any suggestions for communicating with people.

Dear Marsha,
It sounds like you are a psychic medium who needs some training to develop and control her skills. A good book to get is June Bletzer's Psychic Dictionary, which has a course in psychic development, to get you started. You'll find a link to it at

And you should start looking for a good psychic medium to test it out. Some of the well-known ones (John Edward, James van Praagh, Sylvia Browne) have web sites but I don't know how easy they are to contact personally. They all have books you might find helpful (check my bookstore and links pages). You can try your local psychic for a reading to see if its picked up. You can try things like Tarot card reading to test your skills. Here's an ESP site where you can test your skills.


Peace & Joy!
Diane

 

Thanks for taking time to e-mail me. I have read many books but need someone to correspond with. In other words I need friends who can understand from their own experiences. I live in a small town and it is difficult to find people like myself. Most people look at me like I have two heads when I try to talk about my experiences. I haven't found the right person. jemar@atlanticbb.net

 

 

 

spirituality Out of control Psychic #2

 

One is that, when I was around 13yrs. old, my sis and I were out in the garage with my mom; she had a deer hanging and we were going to help her "de-hide" it and all. Well, I stepped out of the car garage door for some fresh air because it was a nice summer day; all of a sudden, I got this nausea deep in the pit of my stomach, and as if being guided by some unknown force, I turned around and said, "Mom, my stomach doesn't feel right, something's about to happen.", no sooner had I spoke those words and here came these three neighborhood dogs, tearing toward our garage; we had just enough time to run into the house and grab baseball bats, to chase them off, so we could shut both garage doors and save the meat of the deer for family....

Another time is when I was spending the night with an old boyfriend, my first year of living out on my own; he had gone fast asleep and I had shut my eyes and was about to do the same, when I got this strong feeling that someone was watching us...I looked toward the foot of the bed, and there was this ghostly aura, a spirit, of a man who was dressed in war clothing complete with hat and all; I had tried to reach over and wake my then boyfriend, but couldn't move a muscle in my body, could not speak a word, and couldn't take my eyes off of him/it...this went on for what seemed like a few moments and then it just like kept going into itself until it was like a tiny glowing ball of light, that just disappeared....

Another time is when I was with someone else and we were preparing to go to sleep; we had been facing each other in the bed, were kissing and cooing at each other, when all of a sudden, he had the most horrifying look on his face and I could tell he was looking pastme, to my side of the bed, I wanted to turn around and look, because I had also started feeling something....he wouldn't let me look; he said that he saw a pair of red glowing eyes form on the wall and look down at us, and he said that those eyes looked mean; I then confronted a friend who knows about such things and she said it sounds more like an evil presence, than of God....also, while living with this same man, I had another experience; we were in bed, he had already gone to sleep and I was getting ready to, when I felt like I was being touched, by something I couldn't see, starting at my feet and moving up my body....

And just a few years ago, though there is so much more to tell also; I was in my old apt., getting into the hallway closet, when out of the corner of my eye, a human shadow (black, but human form), ran by me, back into the hallway and vanished into one of the bedrooms...I went to see which one, but it was gone....

And I have a 5yr. old son whom I know has seen something in our apt. as of recent, because of the way he sometimes acts (and I believe that children are more apt to see more because of their souls being so pure, still); and there are days, mostly nights, that I feel some type of a presence, here with us; I don't feel fear with this presence, but sometimes safe, sometimes annoyed by it, but my son seems very much afraid....

I do thank you for your web site and I was hoping if you could help me to find more places to also search to help me understand the things that are happening to me....

Also, for several months now, I've been having this feeling that something BIG is coming, future wise, and it has become much more stronger, since it started; does that mean, whatever it is, is getting closer, that's what I'm thinking?

Sincerely,

MJ from IN

 

 

Dear MJ,
Some people are more sensitive to the spiritual world than others, especially children until about age 7... adults tend to squelch childhood visions as over active imaginations and define reality for us. Get a copy of The Psychic Dictionary and read up on the various aspects of mediumship (clairsentience, clairaudience, clairseeing, etc.), how to develop them, how to control them. Maybe learn lucid dreaming, keep a journal (of sleeping dreams also)... by writing things down right away, you retain more information and can maybe make better sense of what your guidance is trying to tell you (including this sense you have of something big coming). You'll also find sites listed in my resource center to follow up on... trust your guidance to lead you to what you need to know.

What you've described isn't so unusual, you just need more information to help you deal with your psychic (sixth sense) abilities. By the way, you should see that movie... The Sixth Sense. A mind blowing experience!
Peace & Joy!

spirituality I know they are going to die

Dear Ms.Goble,

My name is Anna and I wanted to share my experience with you hoping that perhaps you may be familiar with this kind of phenomenon.

When I see some person I " know " that she/or he is going to die.
During 17 years it happened 8 times. All the persons die in the car accidents or they made a suicide.

When we take a picture with a camera, we stop a moment, a time. Is the same what I feel during this "predict ".

Often, when I walk through a forest, I feel a good or a bad vibration. It seems the treesÊtalks with me about what will happened in the near future.

It is strange, but the safest place for me is a forest.There I can relax.

Sincerely,
Anna

 

 

Dear Anna,
I'd say you have psychic (6th sense) abilities but you haven't developed them... which has been your choice up to now. You can always chose to do so whenever you want. A good book to give you enough information to help you decide whether you want to make a different choice is The Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary by June Bletzer. It offers a dictionary of terms and a course in psychic development. You'll find it listed in my Seekers Bookstore in the Bibliography of my book, Through the Tunnel. If you don't know how to meditate, go to my Spiritual Lesson on meditation... it would help you sort things out in your consciousness on a higher level.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 

 

 

paranormal Spirit Message

 

After a recent vacation with my siblings, I went to bed one evening and was reminiscing about talks and said a prayer and was reaching out mentally to my siblings in a comfort way. I opened my eyes and the ceiling above my head appeared to look as a ripple in the water. Thinking this was my imagination I looked away and focused again. It was the same reoccurring ripple that was now dropping from the ceiling in 3-D towards me. I was not frightened, but rather emotional where it brought tears to my eyes (neither tears of joy or fright). As the ripple became larger, a figure appeared from the center in a small stature and bowed ever so slightly toward me and then slowly vanished. Any thoughts?
Thank you for your ear,
Gene

 

Dear Gene,
In a state of prayer or meditation, we may experience subtle shifts of consciousness, see visions, hear a voice, step outside of our body. When it happens spontaneously like yours, it may be thought of as a message from your soul to get over your self and get on with your spiritual journey. Your choice is to dismiss your experience as a meaningless anomaly or take it as a hint and begin a practice that will lead to an expansion of consciousness (e.g., meditation, yoga, tai chi). Please read the Meditation Lesson in my Spiritual Lessons.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 


 

 

 

Two angels were sent to help me out

 

Hola, and thanks for the nice site.

It is not only nice to read, but it is pretty to look at too!

I read your NDE account and every time I read such an account, so well and sensitively described, I just close my eyes and I nearly cry and all I can say is …

“Hello - Oh Jesus are you really there? All I want to say to you is Hello! Please hear me. Pleasse really be there. All I want you to know is that I just want you to know how much I want you to be there for me. Just, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello Hello!!!!”

I have had an experience that I was wondering what you might make of it. As always, most people aren’t interested in it and I more or less keep it to myself. I have told some people, but nobody really knows what one has been through unless they have been there themselves.

My wife left me and it was so very, very painful when she left. Of course I got severely depressed and just wanted to die. I did not want to kill myself. But I did just want to die so I could get away from the depression that was really scary. I truly believe that I was on the edge of insanity for a while.

I would lie in bed at night and ask Jesus to take my life. I would not do it myself, but I knew that it was okay for him to take it for me.

One night, I had a dream. I was crawling across a playing field that I “sensed” was my old elementary school field when I was a child.

It was grey and over cast and I was crawling on my hands and knees, scraping my knees on the pebbles on the ground. It was not grass. Just coarse gravel.

I was just so depressed, even in my dream I could not get up.

Just then, two male angels came down and with one on either side of me, they picked my up under my arms and one of them said three words …

“Come on Craig”

And with that, they picked my up and lifted me up into the air.

At about 35 feet into the grey mist, I left my body through the top of my head into some kind of golden light.

That is all I remember.

I was not dead, but my spirit certainly was. My heart was broken and I was as good as a walking dead man.

I like to try to believe in these things, but the world is a pretty coarse place and these kinds of experiences don’t happen often.

That was 7 years ago, and I guess I am ok now. I still have to pay the bills and am trying to raise two kids who are teenagers now. I guess I am more or less over the pain, and I have tried to meet a nice woman to fall in love with, but it is pretty hard to let go and trust again. I tried that with a woman 2 years after my wife left, but I was still such a mess, she left me too. She still haunts me. The way we met was too strange for an everyday normal life experience. And when we were together, it was like I was with my other half. I still sigh for her every hour of every day. But she will not speak to me now. It was painful for her too. I guess karma has been met, nothing further required, time to move on, have a nice day. Or something like that.

One of the things that has come to me over the past few years is an expression that I have adopted as my own. It is …

Make the mistake, feel the pain, learn from the experience, then move on.

I don’t mean that by indicating that it is a mistake, doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lesson to be learned from it. But it sounds better than …

Make the lesson, feel the pain etc …

I am trying to move on, but I guess I am just a little lonely and still to afraid to just let go and let God.

So I thought I would write you this little letter because I am feeling that need in my life again. The need to reach out and try to connect again. It comes and goes. Tonight, I felt moved to look up NDE’s on the i/n. And that is how I found your web site.

I like the Catholic Church although I am not a Catholic. I like Latina women and I feel safe around them if they are Catholic. I sometimes feel like I was once a priest in old Mexico but I do not look at all Latino in this life and it may just be coming out from a bit of my fascination with Mexico and the books I have read. But interestingly enough, I have no desire to visit England or France or Africa. I would be quite happy to just live and die somewhere in Mexico and intend to spend some of my retirement there in the next 10 years. I just love the sun and the climate and the area and thinking about it makes me feel so at peace.

Well, I hope you are having a wonderful life and it sounds as though you have found your calling. I am sorry that you and your husband are not together. That is so sad that people don’t stay together anymore. And by the way, I saw that movie, Deliverance. What a horribly depressing movie. Yeauuchhh! Give me a nice happy ending love story any day. I can be such a dweeb sometimes I supposeJ

Anyhow, I shall go to bed now. I am tired and have been reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Very good book. Have you ever read Messages from Michael by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro? It is very good too. I think of it often.

It would be to know what you think of my dream. It probably wasn’t a near death experience, but I sincerely believe that those two angels were sent to help me out. The pain didn’t disappear over night. It still took me years to get over a broken marriage. But we survive. And I still want to go on living for a long time to come.

Thanks for listening.

Gracias y buenas noches señora.

Dulce sueños y Dios bendiga.

Dios bendiga México!!!

Soon …

Dear Craig,
I'd call what you had a spiritual experience (even intervention) and it seems to be quite common among people who are severely depressed or distressed. It happens often, people just don't often talk about it. It's a pretty strong message from the beings who help us from the other side... sometimes they have to knock us upside the head to get our attention. Our soul is there to guide us at all times. Of course if the person doesn't believe, they dismiss any intuitional information. So the soul sends stronger messages... it might be a minor accident or illness or loss of some kind. If the person stays in denial that help is right there, the messages get stronger... a divorce, a financial set back, a major illness, the death of a loved one. All to get us to wake up to the fact that we're not who we think we are. Craig, two angels came down, picked you up out of the gravel (physical world), lifted you up and showed you the Light (spiritual world), and told you to get on with your human life. What part of that don't you get? We are spiritual beings having human being experiences, not the other way around. We are not our bodies or our brains or our emotions, they are part of us (while we are in human form) but they are not who we really are (great and powerful spiritual beings). The dramas of our daily lives are not our whole lives. They are just learning experiences we have along the way. The relationships we have with other people are to teach us about love and compassion on a practical level. When we get caught up in our emotions, we perceive it as pain, misery, suffering, but when we become the observer of our life, we gain some detachment and can see people and circumstances for what they really are... tools for our spiritual growth. When you learn to get out of your own way and listen to your soul (intuition, gut feelings), you'll make better choices and live more harmoniously and peacefully.

You had a couple of women who came into your life to teach you something about love, which you apparently didn't get. If you're still in pain, you didn't learn what you needed to learn (dissolve the karma). Until you get to know who you are and fix yourself (we can't change what we don't acknowledge), you won't attract the right woman into your life anyway (See my Spiritual Lesson "Know ThySelf."). The thing is, wherever you go there you are... if you don't change you, you'll create the same lessons over and over again because you're just not getting it. Spend some time becoming the best you you can be and the rest will fall into place. Check out the self-help programs I recommend on my Counseling page to gain some insight into yourself.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 


Kundalini vs Psychosis

 

Hello
I stumbled onto this website when i decided to search for anyone
with a similar experience to the nde? i had .
Most nde's i read were about a tunnel and were pleasant mine wasn't
so i searched for nde violent vision because the things i experienced
was very violent to myself .some of the things i encountered were
similar to what was written about Bardo .
in this i experience someone doing something to me and i was angry and
i threw a rock at the window of there car and it was like everything
piled on top of me with chains and i was underneath all this with a
voice constantly telling me bad things and i believed it but then
something happened where something they said wasn't true and i started
forgiving and more things would happen to me and i forgave over and
over .
there are lots that happened to me in this not all tests like that
i do remember being in a very dark place it felt like a cliff and
darkness was all around me and this thing this ugly demon looking
thing flies down and tells me that i will live for ever if i mate with
it otherwise i will not exist anymore i think about it and the idea
of not existing bothered me so i agreed and while we are kind of
trying to have sex i couldn't get aroused and i stand up and said this
doesn't feel right and it said something to me like your going do
die or not exist (i don't remember)
i told a few people some of the things that happened but not everything
i saw allot of future events in my life in this but was not able to
avoid anything
that i felt it was warning to be careful .the whole thing really
scared me and it caused allot of problems to me.

THERE is allot more things that happened i can describe everything in
full detail
if you want .please ask any questions.

Dear Z,
Not all NDEs are pleasant but all NDEs leave the person with strong, positive spiritual beliefs. Many NDEs, even positive ones, leave the person scared and cause a lot of problems in their lives. But what you're describing sounds more like a bad drug trip or a negative meditation/kundalini experience. So you'll have to tell me more about it if you want me to comment further.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

the thing about this is i was able to peer into the future of my life but i didn't understand it i didn't realize they were warnings(i new they were warnings but at the time i didn't know what for) and after i had my first psychotic breakdown i gave up on life i pretty much just masterbated , ate and breathed most of my own friends left or betrayed me I'm on the last leg of my journey and I'm scared because i saw what happens these people want me to kill myself but I'm not supposed to because my death must be by there will by there hands or the hands they command . i was going to kill myself but i had a vision (or something) where every inanimate object came alive and was evil ,this
happened the day i was going to kill myself after seeing that i cant. its a struggle right now because of the constant harassment and judgement from people who don't know me .

(The next 4 emails follow over an 8 hour period)

I need help to become spiritually prepared if you know of anyone in my area please only somone who wont mess with me or play games .thank you

Im starting to think i should not have meantioned the part about seeing into the future please dont print my name on the first letter but if you do know of somone to talk to that wont charge money please let me know thanks.

LOOKING BACK ON my letters they sound crazy.i would like to apologise
im seeing a doctor and taking medication , im just going through a
difficult time in my life. sorry for waisting your time.

Well, you sound a bit scattered, maybe not quite psychotic but certainly wrestling with the demons in your mind. I hope the meds will calm the storm long enough for your to make some progress in therapy toward more rational thinking. You always have the choice as to which voices in your head you pay attention to, which side of the line between the dark and the light to lean toward. No one makes you do anything. Focus on the light to lead you out of the darkness.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

There is a debate about whether what psychiatry calls "psychosis" is the same as active uncontrolled kundalini. It makes one wonder if the person were trained to gain control over his kundalini could he lead a normal life without needing to take medications. This person didn't get back to me so I don't know how he's doing.

 

A ball of light above my head

Last night my husband and I awoke to what appeared to be a ball of light that was above my head. My husband put his hand right through it and touched my head. It felt like pressure on the left side of my head, as if I suddenly became "full" "stretched" from the inside out and extremely cold. It left as quickly as it came. I felt it go into my whole body and then leave, leaving me a cramping cold. I have no idea what this was or why this happened. If you have any idea whatsoever please tell me. I suddenly feel afraid because of this. We have had a few strange things going on here including writing on our bathroom mirrors after a shower. But this by far is the most unusual and frightening thing. Please let me know a.s.a.p.
Thank you,
Susan

Dear Susan,
Sounds like you have a poltergeist running amuck in your house. You might try contacting Sylvia Browne, she's knows more about these entities than I. She'll probably tell you to do some clearing, smudging work. Keep in mind this is energy, it can't physically hurt you. Scare you, yes, but you can choose to stand up to it and tell it to go away and leave you alone rather than allow it to frighten you. She'll also be able to tell you if it is a lost spirit inhabiting your house. Sometimes people don't realize or refuse to accept they are dead... you may need to assure them they are dead and need to go to the light to find what they are looking for.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 

 

The motion detector comes on

Hi Diane,
I really appreciate your Website. Reading the various NDEs and Paranormal Experiences posted on your web have helped to renew my belief in life after death. Whenever I am doubtful or I'm feeling down I go there and immediately I am lifted.

Several years ago I lost my only child to a tragic accident. Shortly after the acciddent I had several paranormal experiences that got me questionning and reading anything and everything I could on NDEs and Paranormal Experiences.

I will tell you about one experience that happened shortly after the accident. I was lying in bed (not sleeping) but just resting in an inclined position. The house I was living in at the time had an alarm system and one of the motion detectors faced my side of the bed. Of course the system was not armed while we were in the house, but anytime someone crossed the detector's path it would light up. Anyways, as I mentioned I was lying in bed, not asleep but resting with my eyesclosed, when suddenly I felt something (like an energy) touch the top of my head, then slowly move down to about the shoulder area (it felt very peaceful) , that is when I heard the motion detector come on. I opened my eyes to see that the light was on but there was no one there, so I just shrudded it off as a coincidence. Again I closed my eyes, and once again I felt the same sensation from the top of my head going slowly through my body, but this time the feeling continued past my heart and I felt like the hole in my heart was being healed. Again I heard the motion detector come on and I opened my eyes to see the detector light was on. I cannot explain how this happened but I like to think it was my daughter letting me know she was with me.

I later had a dream where I found myself sitting beside my daughter on a park bench. She looked younger then what she was when she passed on and she had a beautiful light all around her. I was surprised to see her and had been concerned about the injuries she received in the accident, but I could see that her body was now healed. She explained that was her earthly self but that now "this is who I really am" (her spirit body). I also felt that she knew things that I didn't know, I kind of felt like a child beside her, she seemed so much more advanced then me (and much wiser).

All of this got me very excited and interested in knowing all I could about NDEs etc. So I read a lot, and eventually I began praying. However, praying wasn't doing it for me, so I started meditating by imagining a light coming from the top of my head and reaching out to the heavens. Eventually with time I could actually see the light very clearly. One night while doing this, out of no where a light appeared and reached down from above to touch my light. Suddently I felt a presence (an energy) in the room. This frightened me, because in the presence of this energy my soul felt like it would leave my body. I wondered if this energy was God and this was my time to leave the earth to go to the other side. I braced myself for what was going to happen and the energy (presence) faded away very very slowly. During this experience I did not see anyone, but I definitely felt the energy very very strongly. After this experience I was afraid to meditate so I stopped. Do you think that with guidance I could renew meditating but be better able to control my reaction to whatever may happen.

Lise

Dear Lise,
Thank you for writing and sharing your interesting paranormal experiences with your daughter. She is a guide on the other side for you and when you meditate ask her to be with you and keep you safe. I just finished an interesting book you might want to read by a woman whose deceased bother used to come to her at night when she was a child and take her to the other side to learn about it so she could come back and tell others, which she has now done with her book, The Birth Called Death by Kathie Jordan.

Please do get back into meditation. As with any journey, and learning meditation is a journey, there are ups and downs, twists and turns, obstacles, delays, distractions and experiences along the way. If you quit early on, you never get near the goal. When I first learned 30 years ago what was then called self-hypnosis (simply a technique to achieve an altered state), I rode my bicycle up to the mountains and sat by a creek and did the exercise I had learned. Within a few minutes, I suddenly had an out-of-body experience that scared the crap out of me... because no one told me this could happen nor what to do if it did. It shocked me so that I just as suddenly snapped back into my body and was quite shaken up about it. Luckily I was taking a class at the time and next class asked the teacher what had happened to me. He explained about out-of-body experiences and the silver cord, and that we could always get back to our body because we were connected by the cord. It was still many years before I wanted to try that again! It's really better for people to have a teacher to guide them because there are many things that happen during the learning process that may be frightening and they need to be talked about with someone who has been there. It's important to surround oneself with light during meditation for protection against negative energies and to increase one's own personal power. There are also different kinds of meditation... you need to know your goal to decide which is best for you. Do read the Meditation Lessons on my site and you'll find other resources in the bookstore and links page to prepare you. Bless you on your spiritual journey.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 

Still not sure what it was, what it means

hello!

my name is beatriz and I just happen to come across your web site, while looking for e.kluber ross information. the reason why I am writing is becose, more than 7 years ago, I had an experience which I still not sure if it was a dream or a possible nde. I was lying in bed, reading the tibetan book of the living and dying by songial rynponche, when suddenly I was looking at a beautiful blue sky, and far away I could see the figures of people flying, like angels, wearing clothes like tunics of pastel colours. As I was looking at them, on the right hand side of my vision, suddenly I saw what I can only compare with the sun. the most wonderful huge, brittest sun ever since by my eyes was right in front of me. I remember that as I was looking at it, I was supprise by the fact that my eyes were not hurt, and also the amount of love, compasion and power amananting from it, was overpowering. next thing I woke up with tears rolling down my eyes, and a still overwhelming feeling of love in my chest. I wish I could have communicated with it, I did not have any telephatic communication with it, but after all these years, I still not sure if it was an angel, the universal power or god, and I still wonder what was the meaning behind this experiece. I am glad I came across your website. If you have any comments or any ideas which you wish to say about my experience, please feel free to contact me.

thank you

Dear Beatriz,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience with me. Maybe it is for each of us to have an unexplainable experience that we spend the rest of our lives trying to understand. Hopefully it ends up teaching us about our spiritual nature and we learn how to be spiritual beings who have human being experiences so we can pass that awareness on to others.

Since you were reading the Tibetan Book at the time, it suggests to me that you were given a glimpse into the transition we all go through when we die... reason being that your spiritual path likely involves helping others cross over... could be in health care, nursing or ministry... could be as an educator, a writer, a speaker, a lawyer, an advocate... could be within your own family or community or could be on a broader scale. From my home page, go to Spiritual Lessons for some information about the field.

7 years later is a pivotal point for an experiencer. It seems to be the time it takes in most cases for an experiencer to awaken to the meaning of their experience to their lives. Learning meditation would be helpful to clearing your mind and focusing, perhaps allowing the communication you didn't get at the time to come through so you can understand it and begin to work with your guides, your soul, to get on your spiritual path and discover your purpose. Also in Spiritual Lessons, go to Meditation.
Peace & Joy!

my dear friend:
thank you very much for getting back to me. I am sorry if I have not replayed earlier to your email, but since I am a student nurse (ending my first year) I have been very busy. I have to say that one of the reasons i decided to be a nurse if because, I used to work in a palliative care ward at the local hospital, as an auxilliary nurse, and I have to said that I have had the worderfull prevelege of witnessing a few people passing over, and I have to say, that it is the most powerful experience that I have ever experience. since then, I decided to be a nurse and hopefully speciallised in palliative care. may I ask you if there is any books or literature which you may recommend regarding tring to get in touch with that beautiful being of light or my spiritual guides. I have tried to contact them through my dreams, since every night I ask to be able to seen or contact them, if it for my hightes good, but so far nothing has happened. Meditation has been a chanel that i have not try to often, because when i do, it is like trying to control a wild horse. I would appreciate your advice and guidance. once againg thank you very much for your time and help...

love and light

Beatriz

 

Dear Beatriz,
Bless you for becoming a nurse... we really need caring, compassionate people helping those in need. I suggest you take reiki training to learn to work with the subtle energies and spirit guides. You can try your phone book or local holistic health centers or whole foods market for referrals to practitioners. But you should continue with meditation. Did you learn to ride a bike? Did you fall many times before you suddenly got it? It's the same thing with meditation. The idea is to practice stilling the mind until the mind is still. You may not stop the constant chatter, but you can train yourself to not pay attention to it. It takes time... patience, perseverance, and practice, practice, practice. You suddenly get it and once you pay attention to the silence, a whole new world opens up in your mind. Do not expect instant results, but the more you practice, the faster it will come to you.
Peace & Joy!

An incredible force entered my body

i was very moved by your story and web site. i would like to tell you my story and i am very interested in hearing what you think.most people don't know what to say. 11 years ago i lay in the hospital with my 13 year old son who had struggled for 3 years with cancer. we were trying a new dr and treatment and i was hopeful. my only child... i couldn't believe he would die. as it approached 11 pm all was quiet adn he lay peacefully. i laid on the bed next to him holding his hand as he drifted off to sleep. all of a sudden an incredible force entered the right side of my body. it moved slowly across my body in a straight line (from head to toe) from my right side through to my left side. as the line moved it filled me with a feeling so incredible it was like nothing i ever felt before or since. it was a feeling of perfection. as it moved through me it moved towards Nathan...the second it left me (and had moved to him) he died. and he had a smile on his face...a look of peace that the dr said she rarely saw.

i don't know if my description gives you the picture. i try to remember the feeling and let it fill me with hope that my precious son is ok. i am looking forward to hearing from you

kim

Dear Kim,
Bless you for sharing your story with me. I'd say that was your son's way of saying goodbye to you (his energy traveling through you) and infusing you with the joy and love he experienced as he left his body to give you strength and courage to live your life fully. Honor his spirit and know he will always be there to guide you along your spiritual path.
Peace & Joy!

Traveling Dreams paranormal

I find such comfort in reading about near death experiences and I must admit that I look at NDE sites more than any other, however unhealthy that may seem to others. I have'nt had one myself but I would like to tell you about my dreams. When I was fifteen my dreams changed and I tried to explain this to people but never could really find the right words to do so. All I can say is that I experience a feeling of great love and familiarity in them often feeling that I have been with the most loving friends, yet far more loving than could ever be manifested here on earth. The landscapes are similar to here but again with that unique feeling of being filled with love and a very different atmosphere. Lastly, I would like to mention that, strange as it may seem, every dream over the years finishes with me travelling back on a bus or train and I have a real feeling of returning to something from somewhere but never for long. I have wished for years that I might be able to find someone who shares these experiences but the nearest I get is reading metaphysical books. I am now 28.

I hope you find this interesting, I found your nde fascinating.

Heather

 

Dear Heather,
You're the typical person who comes to my site looking for more information, seeking confirmation of your own experiences... it's part of my spiritual path to make the information that comes to me available to others. But it took me years to know that's what my experiences were leading me to... it's a journey, a process.... ongoing, eternal, You've only been this personality for 28 years, you are just beginning to reach the place on your journey where you start to question everything and seek the meaning of life... and of your life in particular. Keep a journal of your dreams, experiences, coincidences, synchronicities, tangents, parallels... also your interests as they change and evolve over time. These are all pieces in the jigsaw puzzle you're putting together but it is also your process of evolving and expanding your consciousness. When you have 3 decades to look back, a bigger picture begins to emerge. As you open you mind more and more, you also get to see a bigger picture of the Universe and you become enlightened through knowledge and experience.

In our dreams, we travel on the astral plane. Our bodies become paralyzed as we drift into REM sleep and we are free to leave our bodies briefly to return to the other side for a particular reason. In my case, I take what I've learned about human behavior here on Earth with me and engage in further study at the spiritual level. It has led to my bringing deeper information back here with me which I disseminate through my web site. I can look back over 6 decades of my life and clearly see the bigger picture from a spiritual perspective but I certainly didn't know when I was 28 where my dreams and experiences were taking me. So be patient, be aware, pay attention to anything or anyone who sparks an interest (positive or negative) because it or they may be a clue or an answer to a question or a teacher. We come here with lessons to learn and lessons to teach, none of which are readily apparent. Seek and ye shall find, etc.

Keep a journal of your dreams... you will see patterns and sequences emerge over time... connections you didn't notice before. Only you can interpret your dreams... think in terms of symbols and abstractions. What trains and buses have to do with you is a starting place. Write down everything you can think of that has to do with trains and buses and see if you come up with any connections. Remember it's just one piece of a billion piece puzzle so keep it in perspective. You might want to read some of Carl Jung's work on dream analysis. He was a NDEr and an eminent psychologist. Most modern day dream analysis books are based on his theories. Actually it might be easier to read modern day writers' versions of Jung (he's a bit scientific and intellectual) and I'm sure more information has been added since his books.

And there's a lot of information on my site including many links to what I think are informative sites and books. My book Sitting in the Lotus Blossom may open your mind a bit. I wish you well on your spiritual path and may you live your life to its highest potential.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 

Just wanted to share

I've often wanted to tell someone about my spiritual experience, but it's not a NDE, rather what many would class a religious experience. I lay awake one night praying, with my husband asleep at my side. I was in a crises period of my life, a time of personal despair. Like many I was questioning why I was on earth. I sincerely wanted to get closer to God, I needed his help, and feeling alone & unloved I desperately needed his divine unconditional love. I felt like my spirit was dying, & if God didn't come to my rescue, well I would die inside. God must have opened my spiritual eyes and allow me to see into the spiritual real because a divine being did visit me that night by my bedside. It came cloaked in a grey mist or cloud, talked to me; or rather to my inner spirit. The communication was a telepathic clear voice between the heavenly being & my inner spirit. Wow! I was and still am totally amazed, that my spirit has its own voice, it was clear yet not verbal. We were talking but I never opened my mouth. I want to call this spiritual being an Angel and just like in the Bible in Isaiah 6: 6 the Angel touched my mouth with what I believe to be a piece of coal -it actually clicked on my teeth. I was awake during this experience , laying flat on my bed, on my back, face up yet unable to move anything but my eyes,kinda frozen in time. I saw only the bottom of his long light grayish robe, with blue circular stripes around its bottom. I saw feet & sandels just like men wore in biblical times. I remember my face had a mild burning sensation for the following three days. This happened when I was 43, I'm now 52. My personal life took a major turn for the best. I came to realize Iíll never be alone, unloved, or unprotected. That everything happens for a much greater divine purpose. I have been a cheer leader for the Lord Jesus Christ, to the best of my ability, & always will be. I feel my purpose on earth is to simply spread unconditional love in everyway possible to as many as God puts in my path. The Spiritual message to me was a simple one: that I was already forgiven of all sin, as soon as I repented and to give to everyone & everything unconditional love like God gives to all His creation.

Please place this event in its proper catagory. My e-mail is gloria.joyce@aliant.ca , if anyone wants to talk or reach me. It is time I shared my experience to edify or strengthen others faith. Note the Book of Revelations is quickly coming to pass.

God Bless us all - JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON.

 

Can we be in two bodies at the same time?

Love your work. Someone else who thinks like me!

I have a question (one of many actually) for you. A week after my father passed away, I decided to meditate to see if "he made it okay". He was a very good person but I just wanted to check up on him. Much to my surprise (I have my own meditation technique), as soon as I finished saying the Our Father, simultaneously, I felt/heard a "pop/clock" right in the middle of my head, had a sudden swoon to my right, and found myself in two bodies at the same time! I think I was in my spiritual body AND my physical body both. I felt 1,000 times lighter, 10,000 times more aware and very straight. Much to my surprise, my grandparents who died 38 years prior, were both behind me and I had the feeling that time did not exist. Felt like a very "strong current/river" overcame me then, running through me, from up to down.

Is it possible to be in two bodies at the same time and be aware of same? What transpired here? I know my dad's parents were there and so was he. Was I in "eternity"? There is much more I have to say but do not have the time right now. Any input? Would love to write to you about these things. Thank you.

Dorothy

Dear Dorothy,
So you were beside yourself? :-) It's also happened to me during meditation and I've heard it from others, apparently it is possible but I'm not sure how to explain it... something like bilocation or lucid dreaming or astral travel or remote viewing... all similar. It seems to me that it's a potential humans have, that it could be useful as well as destructive, and maybe we're pioneering efforts to bring it into awareness and keep it in the spiritual realm as much as possible until we figure out what it's all about. Seems like one of those hidden mysteries from ancient times that is beginning to be revealed to human kind... to know that we exist in more than just the physical dimension. It's in all the literature, people just don't get it... until it happens to them... then the lightbulb goes on.
Bless you on your spiritual path.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

Thanks very much for your response Diane .. I usually don't get responses from people. I know it is a lifelong "quest" I am on. I know one place NOT to look for answers - the Church. Priests don't have a clue what I am talking about! Which is sad, since that's their line of work! Will try to write to you when I have more time. Thanks again.

She's not there!

my mother died of cancer in july of 1974. i visited her gravesite, several months later, on a beautiful, crisp october day. i stood at the foot of her grave and began crying uncontrolably the biggest, fattest, hottest tears i had ever cried! at some point, i realized that a warm breeze was encircling me! it wasn't blowing north, south, east or west...it was moving around my body! i stood there in amazement, looking straight ahead, and let the feeling happen to me! it was at that point that i realized two things: i had stopped crying and that i was standing alone in this cemetary. there was no one in sight. that's when i heard the voice! kind of like the way you related it in your experience...like telepathy!  i didn't "hear" it with my ears but rather with all of my being. i heard it and i felt the voice in me and all around me!!! i instantly knew that this was the Master Planner and He said, "WHY ARE YOU CRYING? SHE'S NOT THERE! SHE'S HERE!" And, very gently, but not of my own doing, i was coaxed to look up, as though an invisible finger was gently lifting my chin up to look heavenward! that's why i remember so well the glorious day that it was...in more ways than one! i have been forever changed by this. thanks for listening/ reading.
sincerely.......

Bless you for telling your story, it will help others realize that there is no death, only a temporary separation until we ourselves return home and are reunited with our loved ones, and that until then, they, and God, are watching over us.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

I didn't know such a thing could happen... to me!

Dear Ms. Goble,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience of over 30 years ago! I have never had an NDE of my own but have met several people who have. I am somewhat of a "student", though, ever since seeing an (initial) appearance of Dr.Raymond Moody on a Phil Donahue show circa 1976. Somehow the TRUTH of what Dr. Moody was just beginning to research back then, absoulutely hit me like a bolt of lightning! From that point on, I began reading everything I could get my hands on!

Interestingly, about a dozen years ago, I experienced something "related", totally unexplainable. Something that had never happened to me before. I didn't even know such a thing "could" happen ... surely not to ME, anyway.

While at the funeral of my dear mother with whom I was very close, I "felt a presence" so overwhelming it forever changed my life! Special circumstances were: being a trained, semi-professional classical singer, I was in the midst of singing her favorite quasi-classical-religious piece, "How Beautiful Upon The Mountains", & slowly began to feel a "presence" (to my left) giving me amazing strength! Mind you, it was difficult for me to "perform" at all at such an occasion, since this was my mother's funeral & I was, at times, extremely emmotional. Yet this "force" enabled me to not only to sing quite "well", there was a "superior spiritual quality" I didn't quite understand, as it was not coming from me. I felt like some kind of conduit. This presence (only a couple of feet away from where I stood )was not physical, but a kind of "energy field" which I somehow sensed was "swirling", like a small tornado (maybe 8 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide?)

I had talked to my mother many times, during her year-long illness prior to her death, about my growing knowledge of NDEs and the hope they provided anyone leaving this earth. She was an intelligent, sensitive, well-educated woman but her perception of the afterlife was a bit "scary" (i.e.unknown) due in large part to her rather fundamental Christian background. We would frequently talk about things like: how I believed, with all my heart, Heavenly scenarios such as "Hey, guess what? Our friends who are, say, Jewish will be there TOO!" She'd kind of chuckle and express how much she "hoped" I was right about that. She was a very sweet person but the "overly fundamental Christian element" was so ingrained, it got in her way! I specifically remember joking with her one time: "Oh, mom, you're going to be SO surprised to find out "the eye in that needle" is not tiny at ALL, but rather, GIGANTIC! :)

Anyway, after I sang my muscial pieces, of which there were three, I did not mention anything of my strange experience to anyone. After all, I had NO IDEA what the experience had been! What it WAS! I just knew it had been powerful! -- giving me greater strength and joy while "performing", than I had EVER previously known! Actually there was an element of weirdness that made me WANT to put it out of my mind, at least for that day...

Later that afternoon, as is customary, many gathered at the home of a relative for the "party" to follow. It was there that a woman stranger came up to me and very sincerely expressed how much she had enjoyed the music I had contributed -- but in particular, she was so happy about the middle piece entitled "How Beautiful Upon The Mountains" because during THAT piece, my mother was standing right NEXT to me, to my left! This woman had been a friend of my mother's many years prior but had moved away having flown in for the funeral earlier that day -- and knew nothing of my mother's favorite music. She was a native of the Phillipines, had married an American, & lived in another far-away state. After explaining her background & how she had known/loved my mother, she then added that she was a psychic!

Now, on any other occasion, I would have been taken aback by this psychic proclaimation, but when she said those words, "It was your mother next to you!" I instantly KNEW she was so right, that THAT had been the incredible loving "force" I had felt so strongly -- "to my left" -- as I sang my mother's favorite piece in all the world! I then realized the energy that had fed my own spirit, during that experience, was indeed the spirit of my mother -- conmfirming to me that she still "was!" Not only that, I FELT her "bliss", & I knew the particular message of that particular piece I sang expressed her newfound philosophy of life; a very simple, yet ALL-encompassing philosophy of life!

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of them that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace."

My husband is a well-educated & disciplined scientist with very little "faith" in anything that cannot be proven in a laboratory. But he, too, saw/felt what had happened to me that day -- and having heard what this woman had said to me, he, too KNEW "something" very usuasual had occured. He had loved my mother like his own...

Finally, I have had very subtle "re-vistations" ever since. To the point where now, when I have to do anything about which I am uncomforatble or a little frightened, I "ask" for my mother's help -- and it ALWAYS comes! And the help is always immediate; instantaneously I become peaceful & relaxed.

I did not intend to write such a "dissertation" here today, but felt compelled somehow to share this with you. I have never written it out before but have "told" a handful of people. Actually, I had been feeling a bit "down" lately and went to my p.c. hoping to find something inspiring by simply punching in "'Near Death Experience" + perspective'" The resiults? Your site came up first and it did not disappoint! I cried I was so moved! And thank you for adding Dr. Ring's 12 principles compiled from the experiences of his NDE subjects;I have written them out "longhand" and will daily focus upon them anew!

A final thought: Even though my event of many years ago was not very "dramatic", especially when compared to those shared by actual NDE experiencers, it was a special related event, "dramatic enough" to have changed my life forever. For I now know we DO "go on!" I also understand how deeply purposeful it can be -- to do our best at emulating a pair of those "beautiful feet...that bringeth good tidings and peace" to others. Plus, I have a strong suspicion my mom, indeed, sees ALL her departed Jewish friends in Heaven! :)

Thank you, again, for your site; it brought me great joy and reassurance today, as I'm sure it does countless others who are foutunate enough to visit!

Sincerely,

Patricia

Dear Patricia,
Your story brought me to tears... how wonderful that you were able to share this experience with your mother to let you know that life goes on and she will always be with you. It doesn't matter how we get the message, just that we get it and it opens us to a whole new perspective about life and death. Let me know when you cut an album of you singing duets with your mother of her favorite songs!! :-)
Peace & Joy!
Diane

 

I met my father on the other side

While I did not personally have a near death experience, I did have an experience much as you described about tunnels, white lights, etc., and was brought to a peaceful, beautiful place of just lights, love and warmth. I saw my Father who had died days before, not in the physical sense but as an energy light source of some sort. He was with my Mother's Father and I got the sense that my Father was quite confused about his surroundings (he had died suddenly from a heart attack), and that my whole purposes of being there was for him -- not for me, but to show him that everything was ok. I too had a guide or angel, someone I wasn't sure of, but suspect it might have been a male figure who had not come to full term and was miscarried. Wonderful, loving experience, no fear -- I did feel a bit used because I felt like I was the one who needed the love that I was feeling in whatever this place was.

It was a unique experience. Is it possible that I could have been used (and I don't mean that in a negative sense), to help someone to continue crossing over?

Thank you.

Samantha

Dear Samantha,
Thank you for sharing your interesting experience. As you said it was a unique experience and only you will be able to figure out its meaning. But I can offer some insights to ponder.

Something I learned while on the other side is that people who were in denial about death in this life, are very confused when they get to the other side because it is so similar to what was before they just don't believe they are dead, and it can take some convincing to get these souls to realize they didn't die, they just stepped out of their bodies and continued on with their lives. In your case, it sounds like the experience you shared with your father was for both of you to be assured the other was okay and so both of you could get on with your lives.

There is however another level to this experience which comes as a soul lesson for you. Consider that if you felt used and a lack of love, it may be an indication of a deeper problem that you may be in denial about, and your father and grandfather are trying to bring it into your awareness so you can deal with and get over it. You pushed aside the love that was there and focused on feelings of low self-worth... what does that tell you about yourself? Somewhere in there is the issue you need to work on (meditation, hypnosis, counseling, classes). The experience may really have been more about you than you think... more about your own spiritual growth, maybe a nudge to get you on a spiritual path you've been neglecting because you aren't being your authentic self.
Peace & Joy!
Diane

Many thanks for your reply Diane, I agree with your comments around the "soul lesson" potentially being one of reviewing my own self worth.

This is another reason why having you in our physical world to help us move forward in an attempt to gain some understanding to all lessons whether it be NDE related or otherwise, is in part, another reason why you were sent back -- to help millions of souls like mine check back in with themselves to make sure that they being authentic with themselves. I am yet another one of the millions of souls in this world that you came back to help, and you did.

Many Thanks,

Samantha

 

What does it mean?

Diane,

I have a question about premonitions. I have had dreams on several occasions that someone is going to die. Two of them in particular have bothered me. About 6 years ago I dreamt that a young man, that I really didn't even know, (my husband went to school with his sister) died. Two days later we heard that he had committed suicide after struggling with testicular cancer. The other dream was about my mother-in-law. I dreamt I couldn't find her, she was just there and all of a sudden she wasn't there any more. After frantically looking for her everywhere I knew she had died. I woke up crying and told my husband that his mother was dying. He assured me that everything was okay. She was taken to the doctor a week later and was told she only had a couple months to live and made it another 3 weeks. I always feel guilty after wards that I didn't do something to prevent their deaths especially in these two instances. Is it possible for me to change what I see or am I merely seeing the future? I have dreamt that I died in a car wreck. Both of my children were with me. God told me that my children would be fine but He wouldn't be able to save me. This dream was 2 years ago. Is it still a possibility? I've even started seeing ghosts in my dreams. I can be having a perfectly wonderful dream and someone goes past that I know is a "ghost". When I try to catch/talk to them they always get away/disappear. What does this mean? I know this isn't your "area" but any help would be appreciated.

Angie

 

Dear Angie,

Lately, I seem to be getting more and more email from people who report having "psychic" experiences, including precognitive, out of body, near death, visits from deceased relatives, spiritual visions, past life memories, and clairsentience. They are confused and frightened, usually because they never expected that this could happen to them or may not have heard of it happening to anyone else. And when they try to tell others, if they can even find the words, they get negative reactions. They shut it out and get on with their lives, but this "experience" keeps coming back into their minds, asking to be recognized. It may be the same dream over and over or repeated unexplainable coincidences or an occasional strange tap on the shoulder. It's something the person needs to pay attention to and investigate to find out what's going on... it's not going to let go. In many cases, they may have a gift to bring into the world but they have been so busy with their physical lives that they have forgotten they also have a spiritual path. The soul nudges us with psychic interruptions meant to remind us we all have a higher purpose for being here.

There is either an acceleration of this process among human beings currently on the planet or the speed of transfer of information is allowing more people to tell their stories and maybe there have always been a lot of people having these experiences but we just didn't know about it. We know people have been having "paranormal" type experiences since recorded history so it certainly isn't a new phenomena. Some people have been involved in studying this for quite some time and now that we know more about it, we have ways to help people who are going through the depression, sadness, confusion, and angst which leads to the transformational process to higher consciousness. It's a stage in the evolutionary process of Humanity that human beings will rejoin with their spiritual nature becoming both Human and Divine bringing peace and harmony to the planet. That may be a thousand or two years away, but this is where we are now: Many people are experiencing spiritual emergence spontaneously, through no effort of their own.

Many people have been purposely working on raising the consciousness of Humanity in their own ways since the 1960's and with even greater intensity since 1987. Now, in 2003, we may be closer to the point where the Hundredth Monkey washes her potato and all the other monkeys figure it out at the same moment! Those who have been through the transformational process are here to help those who are awakening spontaneously and are frightened by what's happening to them, as well as those who have already awakened but don't know where to go next in their seeking. There are many teachers and many paths to investigate until you discover the path that feels right to you. Do not stay stuck with one teacher or one belief system that temporarily meets your needs. Know when to move on for your greater understanding. If you've come into life or back from death with special gifts, the right teacher can help you find ways to express your creativity and find out who you really are, instead of who you've been conditioned to believe you are. There are counselors and healers and psychics and holistic health practitioners available to help you find your way through the maze and explain what's happening to you. Along the way are lessons to learn and one important one is discernment. Don't believe something because the words sound good or the speaker is attractive, weigh everything carefully, test it more than once, proceed cautiously but with an open heart. A spiritual path is not an easy path, there are a lot of physical temptations surrounding us and the ego thinks it's in a battle for control. An awakened teacher can help you find your way through the mine field.

So, Angie, you need to be looking for a spiritual teacher who can help you develop your gift of precognition so you can help others as this is the direction your spiritual path is leading you. As part of that process, you will need to learn to meditate for your own inner peace but also so you can learn to turn your precognition on and off to fit with your lifestyle. A good basic book to get you started is The Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary by June Bletzer.

Peace & Joy!

Diane

Psychic Dreams

I have never had a near death experience. but i believe what you have told us. i am 17 years old. I have always had a fear about dying. i believe in god but it just seems so perfect. But a few years ago i lost my grandmother. we really werent close but she was still family. well about a week after she past away i had a dream.

We were at her house after the funeral and i was sitting next to her on the couch. We were having a normal conversation. she asked me how school was going and everything. my cousin was sitting across from me and asked me who i was talking to i told him that it ws grandma. he said i think that your in shock because grandma is gone. and she told me to ask him about his bycycle when he was little. So i did and he gave me a weird look and i woke up. So That night when I got home from school i called him. and told him about my dream and asked him about his bycycle. and he told me that him, my granma and grandpa had went out shopping that day and he wanted this bike but my grandpa wouldnt buy it for him. So that night when they got home she went out and bought him that bycycle. He couldnt believe that i had known that because she nor him ever told my grandpa or anyone else that she had bought it for him. He told everyone that it was his friends and that he borrowed it.

I have had another one about my cousin cause he died at the age of 15 of lukemia and he came to my house (in my dream) and we talked and i asked him if he was in heaven and he told me that he hasnt been there yet but he said that the outside looked beautiful.

I dont know if these communications with my relatives are real or its just my brain doing its little thing but i do believe that i was talking to them because it seemed so real. I thought that your NDE was amazing and i hope that everyone can have an experience like you and I.

Sara

Dear Sara,

Thank you for sharing your story with me and my visitors. Keep a journal of your dreams and make a note of those that can be confirmed, like the bike. When we are alseep and dreaming (REM sleep) our body is pretty much paralyzed and we (our consciousness) are able to travel on the Astral plane where we are able to meet with other souls including those of the deceased. Most people dismiss this or are conditioned not to believe what they remember (which makes people very confused), but trust your own inner experiences, be discerning (good vs. evil), and be careful who you share your experiences with (some people aren't ready to hear it).

Peace & Joy!

Visions

Hi,

I just read about your NDE. I have studied NDE's for over 15 years and still can't ever absorb enough. I have had numerous OBE's through my life. Mainly I am in a state of half awake half asleep and then I leave my body, but get no further than the room I'm in.

I had an operation once and coming out of the anaesthetic I remember knowing and feeling, that I was GOD, part of GOD, I remember a sort a ticking sound and a box of colours (not unlike leggo) which was the answer to every question on earth, I know I knew all the answers regarding the Universe and life and death, but I was not allowed to bring any back.

Last year I had a very nasty gastric attack which left me feeling like I wanted to die. It was painful and I felt very sick. Three times, for a brief second, I left my body and went into a 'box' of complete peace and tranquillity.

I have Crohn's disease and going through some terrible life changes at the moment and stress. My spirit guides are bombarding me with lessons at the moment. Lessons of Love. I can't even begin to tell you that everything I read is about Love and it's the most amazing thing.

Four years ago my brother suicided. I loved him dearly and still can't accept his death. His death, I think, was the start of my separation from my husband. 2 days after he died I was alone in bed, crying my eyes out. All of a sudden, I heard his voice but it was inside my head not from the outside. He said "Deb, I'm ok". I was worried that he may be in a dark place because of the suicide. As soon as I heard him speak I had a video play in my head. So vivid I can remember every detail 4 years later. I was in the video, sitting and my head buried in my hands, crying. He walked up to me, put his arm around me, winked and smiled at me and telepathically told me that everything I believe in life after death is true.........everything! He was wearing a jumper with diamonds, black and white and jeans. He was shimmering and happy. I have never seen him happy before.

Last month I had a very vivid dream. The only dream I have had of him so vivid. I woke up crying and I knew I had been with him. It was a strange dream. I was a pallbearer at a funeral of 5 caskets. (I was a pallbearer at his funeral). I was crying in the dream of the deaths of these people, two were children but I don't know who they were. As I started up the church aisle with the coffins I saw him sitting up on the alter with other people. He was wearing a white t shirt and black denims. He was so happy and joyful that these people had died and were coming to heaven. He was jumping up and down (and the people with him were too) saying, bring them up, come on, they are so happy to be coming home. I got to the alter then he went and I sat next to my dad and brother. I was crying with joy trying to explain to dad that he must not think back to his funeral because I saw him at the alter and he was deliriously happy. I awoke then and knew I had been with my brother. I had tears down my face.

Anyway, they are my stories. I believe in life after death and it keeps me going through these hard times. I know I will get happy again soon. I have a lovely man in my life, he is a totally different race and creed, and will not be accepted by my family of racists but I now know what it is like to be truly and unconditionally loved. The only problem is, he lives in one country and me in another and he is not allowed to live here. We are working hard to get him here, I only hope he can be with me soon and I can at last live a peaceful and loving life.

Sincerely,

Debbie

Dear Debbie,

Thank you for sharing your stories with me. Now that you know there is no death... relax, be happy. Whether your relationship works out or not, have peace of mind that everything will be for your highest good. Bless you on your path.

Peace & Joy!

Strange Experiences

I was quite intrigued reading your story on the web. It was wonderful to read what you had to share. I would like to tell you a little about my NDE, because it is different from yours but similar in other aspects. You see Diane, I have been a seeker ever since I can remember. Since childhood I've wondered about what happens when we die; is there something out there, always believing in my heart that we are immortal. When I pondered that this could not be so, it filled me with despair and terror; but somehow I knew there was more to our limited and corporeal existence. Reading various ancient texts, the Bible, the Koran, the Bagvad Gita, the Upanishads, the Vetas, from all cultures western and eastern never seemed to answer my questions. Not until I picked up Tibetan Book of the Dead, did things start falling into place. The book had such a strange effect on me, it is hard to describe the way my mind was reeling and my hands would sweat, but nonetheless; I continued. I was in such a state of mind, that I needed to meditate, do various yoga techniques that I had read about, just to stabalize my thoughts and emotions. During the nights ahead for the next few weeks, my sleep would become interrupted in a most unsettling way. I would wake up paralyzed and surrounded by a darkness that was terrifying. Heartbeats and any physical sensations were completely absent. Terror filled my mind. This is death? No! I fought to break free, to move my arms, to get up. Slowly I would regain my sensations and was able to move again. What was that? That was so unsettling, but everything was normal again.

Several nights after that, this would occur again. Then a few more times I endured this horrifying experience. One night, I finally gave in. I thought to myself: I must know what this is, I must not fear it, even if it kills me. I MUST KNOW. I waited. The blackness engulfed me, no heartbeat, no sensation, no anything. I waited. I listened. I hear a noise from the blackness. Carefully I listened. The sounds I could distinguish were fire burning, water as a huge waterfall, earth shaking as in an earthquake, and wind as in a hurricane; all happening simultaneously. More intense would it get. I focused my attention between my forehead. I see a shimmering blue light coming down as the shape of a pyramid, engulfing me. I reached my thoughts to the source of this blue light. Brighter and brighter the light would become. There light entered my forehead. I focused on the white light. It became a part of me. I became a part of it. Entering the light I traveled what seemed like a great distance, moving through a tunnel of light, from the center of my forehead, only to exit the tunnel from the base of my skull above my neck. I flew out into my bedroom, surrounded by joyful laughter and great love and music that could be described as a choir of angels. I was ecstatic, I was at peace, I WAS HOME. Not in my body, but hovering above it, looking down at it as if it was an empty shell. This seemed all so familiar to me when I wanted to move in this new body. I didn't seem to have any substance or matter but I wanted to move. As that thought of movement occurred, a shimmering green glow appeared in front of my consciousness as it formed into what I remember as my hand. All I had to do was stretch my hand in the direction I wanted to move and I would go there. Passing through walls, closed doors and even floors and ceilings was easy as a thought.

All the while I enjoyed the freedom of no physical body, just the body of thought and consciousness; I sensed access to other places, beings of light around me. Gateways to other dimensions, for lack of a better term. For a split second I knew the storehouse of all knowledge, my life, my previous lives, and the multi-dimensions of the universe and God.

Diane, I have never felt more alive. As astounding as this sounds, I never had the chance to reach through one of the gateways, or merge with one of the light beings.

I had a thought.I thought, how easy would it be to re-enter my physical body? Then exist again at will whenever I wanted. As soon as I had that thought, I was pulled by an incredible force, (as an elastic band being released), back into my physical body. Damn. My power of will is too strong. The slightest thought of returning sent me back.

Diane, this event happened to me 16 years ago. Every day I remember this. I want to go back. I want to return. I'll never stop thinking about this wonderful happening in my live.

Joy and happiness:

Ronald

 

Hi Diane!

I have been reading about Kundalini rising, as you suggested, and understand now what has happened to me. (Finally, after all these years!) I did nothing to deliberately cause this, it was simply my time, and I was ready for it. I can understand what you mean what you said about Kundalini rising driving many people insane who didn't know what was going on. However, for me, it was the most incredible and pleasurable experience of my life. So, since then, it has been dormant again, (for the most part).

Until last night, an unusual event occurred. After learning that Kundalini is about energy, I learned about the chakras. (These are the energy zones in the body.) Last night, when I went to sleep, I simply meditated. I didn't try to force anything to happen, just simply to rest and enjoy some serenity.

I felt a tingling sensation in my groin. Nothing that unusual, just thinking that sleep is eminent. The tingling got stronger, it felt like something more -- a charged energy (for lack of a better term). Shortly after that, I realized it was a ball of energy. (A perfectly formed sphere!) It was the size of a honeydew. I remained still, and sensed another one in the area of my throat. It was not nearly as strong as the other, but it was the size of a golf ball. In my mind's eye a tiny white light was present. That one was small but contained much energy. I remained still, enjoying the sensation of electricity flowing through my body. That's as far as this went this time. But I'm sure of one thing--It's is no longer dormant, it has stirred. It might awaken again.

I have done nothing to force any of this. This occurrence felt quite natural and caused no alarm for concern. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Please stay in touch because I value your opinion, and am very grateful for your input.

Godspeed,

Ronald
