A Near Death Experience
Near Death Experience Story
My cousin had a near-death experience about 7 years ago, after a bad car accident. She was a passenger in a friend’s car and a truck lost control and hit their car. It actually threw her from the car because she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt (wear your damn seatbelts people). She ended up among the wreckage barely alive. This accident was very serious and she clinically died at the scene and was revived. She then fell into a coma for the next few months.
The months passed and obvious there was much worry about her condition and then unexpectedly she came out of the coma. Her doctor asked her if she remembered what happened and why she was in the hospital. She remembered the accident and the truck coming towards them and afterwards she claimed to be floating above and looking down on the scene. She could see herself on the ground as there were bystanders all around. She watched the paramedics put her body into the ambulance. She remembered being a little scared and actually thought her life was over. This experience was short lived and there is not much more she could remember.
She recognized one of the paramedics at the hospital and asked him if he was at the scene of her accident. He was there and the doctors asked how she knew him because she was unconscious at the scene. She told the doctors about her near death, out-of-body experience and the doctors were amazed about the details she could recall. Most doctors are natural skeptics to anything spiritual such as the out-of-body experience so there were more questions on a scientific level. However, the doctor told her that other patients have had similar experiences. That they too were unconscious, medically speaking, at the scene and there was no way they could have known the details that they described.
The problem with modern man is that there is an inability to believe in things that are bigger then themselves such as the astral plane. Everyday there are phenomena’s that can’t be explained. There are ideas that we just can’t understand with pure logic and reason. Like the idea that the human consciousness might be separate from the physical body. To be able to travel the astral plane in the form of pure consciousness is an idea that can’t be proved on a scientific level. It is the thousands of personal experiences that make believers out of people. People with open minds do entertain the idea of astral projection and the idea of being able to exist on the astral plane and see things in a different light. (Read my post on Astral Projection)
So I leave you with these questions: Is Astral Projection real? Could the human conscious exist without the human body? Skeptics and believers, please comment below, I would love to engage in healthy conversation.

Here is some info about near death experience that contains some skeptic point of view:
A near-death experience (NDE), refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations including detachment from the body; feelings of levitation; extreme fear; total serenity, security, or warmth; the experience of absolute dissolution; and the presence of a light, which some people interpret as a deity.
These phenomena are usually reported after an individual has been pronounced clinically dead or otherwise very close to death, hence the term near-death experience. Many NDE reports, however, originate from events that are not life-threatening. With recent developments in cardiac resuscitation techniques, the number of reported NDEs has increased. Many in the scientific community regard such experiences as hallucinatory, while paranormal specialists and some mainstream scientists claim them to be evidence of an afterlife.
Popular interest in near-death experiences was initially sparked by Raymond Moody’s 1975 book Life After Life[9] and the founding of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) in 1981. According to a Gallup poll, approximately eight million Americans claim to have had a near-death experience. Some commentators, such as Simpson claim that the number of near-death experiencers may be underestimated, mainly because some such individuals are presumably afraid or otherwise reluctant to talk about their experiences.
NDEs are among the phenomena studied in the fields of parapsychology, psychology, psychiatry, and hospital medicine.
