There's been a lot of talk over the past few years about near-death experiences (NDE) and out-of-body experiences (OBE). Occaisionally someone in here mentions them. I thought it could be very interesting if some of the people here who have had either an NDE or an OBE would like to share their experiences and what they did or didn't get from it. The mother of a friend of mine died while she was in labor for one of her sons. (They both came through it well.) One of the results of her NDE was that she no longer feared death. She knew that she would survive the death of her physical body and that the 'other side' was a wonderful place to be. Most of the effects on her life from the NDE were so subtle that she couldn't really describe them. Yet she felt that her NDE had allowed her to grow in ways that would have been unavailable to her without it. For people who have had either NDE or OBE experiences; what happened and how has this affected/not affected your life? Meredith

I once rolled a car on the AL-CAN highway in the Yukon. As we were
rolling over the embankment, I felt myself telescope out of my body
and watch the events as though I was looking down the wrong end
of a telescope. Everything was crystal clear, only seen from a "safe"
distance. I remember asking "Am I dead? Am I dead?" As soon as
I "realized" that I was *not* dead, I zoomed back into my body and
"life" went on. It was that experience that led me to believe that
people who die in horrible accidents probably don't feel anything
at all. During the moments I was out of my body, I knew that being
"dead" was a very desirable state of being, and the question "Am
I dead?" was a hopeful question rather than one of fear or trepedition.
Being dead is easy. Being alive is not.
