MOSCOW, RUSSIA -- (Pravda) |
|
"Lumber-men
incidentally uncovered the frozen body and
took it to the morgue. A local pathologist
refused to do the autopsy - the body was too
hard. The next day the pathologist said that
the man's eye pupils did not look like dead.
Furthermore, the man's nails turned pink
after the doctor pressed them in his
fingers. The man spent 22 days lying under a
thick layer of snow, but it appeared that he
was still alive. The pathologist diagnosed a
deep lethargic sleep, which had been caused
with a blow on the head." |

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- (The Hook) |
|
"This director
of UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies
began a new project earlier this year
designed to verify reports of out-of-body
NDEs. Greyson, in collaboration with UVA
cardiologists, is conducting an
investigation that focuses on patients
receiving automatic heart defibrillators who
must endure a brief cardiac arrest to ensure
that the units are functioning. Wearing a
conservative yellow tie as he leans back in
his chair, Greyson says there's nothing to
report yet, but he smiles and mentions he's
considering extending the two-year study." |

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (The Mercury News) |
|
"A procedure was
performed in which doctors removed part of
Horn's skull to allow the brain to swell.
The section of skull was sewn into his
abdomen until it was replaced weeks later.
On the operating table, Horn told Shriver he
had a near-death experience. "I saw a bank
of white light, and then I saw all my
beloved animals," Horn said. "For a moment I
stepped out of my body." |

NAIROBI, AFRICA -- (The Nation) |
|
"A very
near-sighted woman was lying on an operating
table with the anesthesia medicine behind
her head. When she experienced the OBE, she
felt detached from her body and could read
the equipment identification numbers which
were out of her vision. She then floated up
to the top of the room and noted that the
top of the light fixtures were dirty. After
she recovered from her illness, she returned
to the hospital and ascertained that the
numbers she had seen were correct and that
the light fixtures were actually dirty." |

BOULDER, CO -- (The Daily Camera) |
|
"In his
allegory, "The Divine Comedy," Dante
described the soul's ascent from hell's
darkness to heaven's light. For the poet it
was a personal pilgrimage. "Midway this way
of life we're bound upon," he wrote, "I
awoke to find myself in a dark wood, where
the right road was wholly lost and gone." |

NEW HAVEN, CT -- (USAToday.com) |
|
"I took in some
water, choked and just panicked," Carr
recalls. "I never experienced anything like
it. I just kept taking in more water, and
then I remember trying to grab onto one of
Don's friends. He tried to hold me up, but I
was fighting him because I was panicking and
scared. He started going down with me, but
he had to let me go or he would have been
down there with me. After he let me go, I
was limp and feeling like this was the end.
This was it. It was a calming feeling that I
really can't even explain. I just quit
fighting, and all I remember is sinking to
the bottom." |

DUBLIN, IRELAND -- (Ireland On-Line) |
|
"The
Oscar-winning star had an encounter with the
celestial being when he was a little boy.
�When I was a young child I saw an angel,�
he said. �It looked like my sister but then
I saw wings. It was as real as you are in
front of me now." |

How to
Share Your NDE With the World |
|
|
|
Two
new sections have been added to this web page and
they are (1) How to create a website and (2) How to
advertise it. I am continuing to share my secrets on
how my website ranks # 1 on the internet on the
subject of near-death experiences and # 9 on the
subject of death. I have added links to tutorials,
articles, software, and online services to help you
design, build, maintain, and promote your website. I
have also added my choices for the best webmaster
resources, tools, and guides on the internet.
Nowadays, you don't need any money to have a website
or a business on your website. You just have to know
how to do it. [Read

Peace and Light,

Neil
Primrose's NDE |
|
|
"I saw a kind of
slide show and there were hundreds of faces
flashing past me of people I knew at school
who I hadn't thought about for years. I saw
images of family and friends and I realized
I was coming face-to-face with my death." |

Barbara
Marie's NDE |
|
|
"At that point I
just started heading toward that light with
my being -- I don't know how -- and I was
surrounded by what I would describe as a
tunnel. There were like rings of wind, like
the funnel of a tornado, and it was moving
forward. Besides the light, which was very
bright, there was a prism within it and
music unlike any that there is on Earth. I
don't know how to explain it. The music was
so welcoming and it becomes a part of you." |

Heather
Sloan's NDE |
|
|
"I found myself
lifted out of my body standing beside the
bed, looking down on what I eventually
realized was myself. My spirit was attached
to my body by a thin wisp of cord which
looked like it could break apart at any
time. I was encouraged not to keep looking
back but to move on towards the light." |

Carrie
Sandberg's NDE |
|
|
"The very
instant I came to the conclusion I wanted to
be home with them, I was there in the room
with them. I saw everything they did and
heard everything they said. Then I tried to
make myself known to them so as to assure
them that I was not really "dead" but they
didn't know I was even there. They were
talking about me coming home for lunch, etc.
They had no knowledge about me being drowned
at all." |
