The hellish near-death experience of Maire is very brief, but well worth considering. It helps us all to realize that not everything is angels and harp music when one dies, even for the religious. I wish Maire would have gone into more detail. Still, her willingness to take classes and integrate what happened to her in a healthy, positive manner shows that no matter what happens to us, we can learn from it - we can use it to make our lives better. --Dr. P.M.H.Atwater
I had a near death experience in 1995. I was in a complete and total hell for 5 days.
I was in the worse places and not just one ....more like many experiences all
of them equally as terrifying. From deformed, disfigured naked people in vat-like
containers, to hospitals, to parties where kids were dying from drug overdose's
and dark, evil places that seemed to never end.
I didn't have a choice to go back, I didn't have a light to go to, nor did
Jesus or any dead relatives come to me. I was a Catholic religion teacher at
the time too.
I really didn't believe in the storybook near-death experiences because my
own was so horrendous. It wasn't until I got your book that I realized I was
not alone in the hell like experience I had. I finally was looking into a candle
flame and knew if I didn't keep my eyes open to look at it that it would go
out and I wouldn't exist anymore. I remember struggling to keep my eyes on
the little flame. Also my brother had just died 6 months before and I heard
his voice say "Get your ass back in there." I think that's when I
woke up. I also saw a girl about 12 with vivid red hair and crystal green eyes
with a baby next to her. Were those angels?
I also think I astro-planed to the middle east and France. I never realized
what that was until reading about it and realizing I knew what the morning
prayers in the middle east were cause I was there. Is that possible?
I was thinking I should be hypnotized to remember more of it to learn about
where exactly I was and what it all meant. I am also taking a 2 year class
with Carolyn Myss and Sonia Choquette's Psychic University so I am deepening
my spiritual learning and developing my intuitive skills.
I never felt sorry for myself for going through it, nor did I come out and
feel my life transformed by it. It was a difficult road back to feeling
somewhat normal again, but I had two young children to bring up who needed
me.
I do think I am more intuitive and also feel I have broken from my tribal
(family) values. I am not caught up the drama of life, I see it in black
and white almost
without any emotion anymore. I wonder if I am just more detached from
life.
I don't want to give you the wrong impression here ...I laugh a lot!
I am pretty funny and authentic. Not at all depressed. I just don't see
the
need
to be
sad, although I do cry at sad movies.
I think about it a lot lately whereas before I mostly tried to push it out
of my conscious mind. Now that I am in my classes I feel there is more
for me to learn from that experience and want to know how I would go about
doing
that.
