Tell us about where you found yourself. I have talked with lots of people who have fainted and they did not experience anything. In fact you won't even know you fainted. It is just like an eye blink as if nothing happened. [/quote


I saw people trying to resuscitate me but I was experiencing something else (very briefly) at peace somewhere else (bluish bright place) then I came around again. It was a long time ago tho.

HardMirror:
I doubt you were unconscious o.
A Neighbour of ours suggested to my mum that raw pepper should be grounded and put in my mouth, I felt nothing. I did not even know I fainted all I know was I was watching tv then as if I blinked and woke up to see myself laying on the bed with my mum fast asleep beside me. The whole story of their attempts to revive me sounded made up because I felt nothing

It's not your fault

HardMirror:
I must have been about 12 years old when it happened.
I was terribly ill, terribly, so my mum took me to the hospital where I got some medications.

All I remember was that I was watching TV in the morning..... Next I woke up only to see myself in the hospital. My mum was asleep beside me.

It was the morning of the next day.

I was unconscious for almost 24 hours.

Honestly where was my spirit when I lost consciousness.


I strongly believe we have no spirit or soul, but are alive based on the function of our brains. Once the brain lacks oxygen for a prolonged time, then that is the end.

Interestingly your organs could still be alive. So it is enough proof for me that our brains are responsible for who we are and not any phantom ghost.


When my mum was narrating how she and others where frantically trying to revive me, I was shocked. To the extent that raw pepper was poured into my mouth.
It was an amazing experience anyway, glad I experienced it so no one lies to me how being unconscious feels.
It is all blank and you have no consciousness of time unlike when you sleep

KingEbukaNaija:
Gatiano said that ? Then how will the soul function without the spirit

gatiano:
You also do not have consciousness of time when you sleep. It is merely an habit you've gotten used to, to sleep in the night and wake up in the morning. In reality though, we don't sleep at night too, the physical body goes to sleep, the soul gets out and goes on a trip. We call this dream. How many of your dreams can you remember? We suddenly wake up from dreams then forget it instantly, why?

Like I said, when the physical body is at sleep and the soul goes for a trip, who holds down the body so that it may stay alive? The Spirit hold down the body everytime we all sleep, so that we may go study other things beyond, to reconnect with various parts of ourselves, reconnect with past lives/Ancestral Ancestors(very difficult), with biological Ancestors.
It is simply the same with when you were unconscious for one rhythm of the sun cycle, Your Soul went on a pretty long trip and Your Spirit held You down observing all the pepper water in your month. Now you have forgotten your trip, that you had when you was 12 (You had it late ooo). Everybody or almost everybody has had this experience before. That you remembered that you fainted at all is commendable.

Just as your lungs need air to help your body function, so your brains need mind to help your body function in relationship with its environment.

You are not aware of 99.9% of everything that goes around you. Your Spirit knows everything from the times before you was conceived. Thus, Your Spirit is that Who will judge you. The Spirit is You. Emphasis* only if you are Black/Original person.

Not true. I remember fainting some years back, I found myself conscious in another realm where I felt complete peace. My soul was alife but somewhere else. Do not be deceived, your soul is real

I don't call it attack, ONLY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE SEE PEOPLE QUESTIONING THEIR BELIEFS AS ATTACKS. I don't attack, I only speak what I believe due to what I have experienced.

Muafrika2:
There is a time, long ago in boarding school, I fainted and I heard alot of noise. Like many People talking all at the same time without order. I was shocked to wake up on the floor, very quite surrounding with no one around(it was around 3.00 am. Everybody in the school compound and out was asleep.)

HardMirror:
Don't mind people and their exaggerations and lies. The 6 years I spent in secondary school at least we had 3 incidences of people fainting and they saw nothing extraordinary they simply blank out and wake up confused why people are gathered round them.

Immorttal:
your explanation solidifies the notion that we came from the light. had it been you stepped closer to that light,you would have been dead physically.

Immorttal:
have you experienced OBE before although is dangerous (because one might not return to his/her body and that results to physical death)the experience is wonderful.

It was 1969. I was 32 years old, married and the mother of five children, the youngest being 5 and the oldest 14. All the children had had the flu several weeks prior, and while I always caught everything from them, this time I thought I was going to be lucky. I seemed to be beyond the incubation period. I had worked very hard that day cleaning the house, and when I went to pick up my husband from work, I suddenly noticed an unusually extreme tiredness. He dropped me off at home and went to get a hair cut. I had planned to take the children swimming that evening at an indoor pool and was going to show them how to dive, however, with the way I suddenly felt, I decided I better lay down or I would never have the stamina for our swimming excursion.

I lay down on the sofa in the living room thinking a little rest would take care of me just fine. Four hours later I had the most incredible experience in my life. Shortly after laying down, I began to not feel good. It started with waves of nausea, and I figured I had not escaped the flu bug after all. The nausea was terrible but was followed in a short time by hard piercing knife-like pains in my stomach. Next came a migraine-like headache which I never had before or since in my lifetime. Then teeth chattering, spine wrenching, body shaking chills such as I had never experienced before or since. All of this occurred in continuous waves and got progressively stronger and more ferocious as time passed. Swimming, of course, was now out of the question. So was dinner!

My husband fixed dinner for the children when he came home from his hair cut, and instructed the children to be quiet and go to their rooms or outside to play for awhile. He sat down and watched TV and kept me company in the living room listening to my moans and groans. I wanted desperately to get in a hot bath to stop the chills but somehow I sensed or knew that I could not walk. I was too embarrassed to crawl or to ask to be carried. I had never felt so helpless. I now knew that I was sicker than I had ever been in my life; but still it was just the flu.

At some point I got into really serious trouble. It felt like the blood was stopping coursing through my veins. I could actually feel my veins. It started at the outer extremities, tips of fingers and toes, and began to move up my arms and legs in towards the trunk of my body. My brain was very alert. I realized that when it got to my lungs and heart, I would be dead. I also felt paralyzed. About this time, my husband looked over at me and said, "Oh my God, I'm calling the paramedics." My mind screamed NO but I could not utter a sound. I wanted him to stay with me and hold me as I passed away. I wanted this so desperately but I could not communicate. I heard him in the kitchen calling the Rescue Squad. Back on the sofa my mind was screaming and blaspheming heaven and God for taking me as I had to stay and raise my children. The strength of this fight to stay was equivalent to me of the power it took for someone to raise a truck if their child was underneath. It was superhuman strength, but I could not endure. Finally, I had to concede. After begging for my life, I made a pact that if I could just raise my children I would gladly go anytime after they were raised and trade places with someone else who was still so desperately needed here. Alas, there was no relenting. The Rescue Squad was still several blocks away from my vantage point above, rounding the corner of Hawley and Bluemound 5 blocks away; neighbors had heard and were rushing over to take the children. One neighbor came in and said, "Oh my God, she's blue."

At this point, I moved through the dark void of the black tunnel which I found very frightening because I didn't know where I was going, but then saw a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel. I "knew" it was heaven. When I arrived in the light, which was of a beauty that words cannot describe, I was enveloped in love. The love too was beyond what one could ever experience while on earth. I was not aware of any beings per se but "knew" I was in the presence of God. That is just what it was; being in the presence of; a "knowing" sense; not a visual being. I had a very quick life review and "curiously" realized that the children I fought so ferociously to be with to raise now seemed as insignificant as childhood toys. Everything took on a different perspective in that other realm. I was given the knowledge of the universe which filled me with wonder and amazement. (This knowledge is not kept when you return to the earthly realm.) Suddenly I was back on earth struggling to get air from the third oxygen tank that they had tried on me. The first two did not work. I was then put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. At the hospital they kept asking me what happened. I was so confused, and I certainly could not tell them what really happened for fear I would end up in the psychiatric ward if they had one. I was still in shock from the whole experience and could not place it in perspective. I also felt they, the staff, were trained professionals and they should be able to figure out what was wrong as I certainly could not.

I stayed in the hospital for two weeks. Severe flu with loss of fluids followed my admission, and I was on intravenous for days. They said my potassium level was as low as they had ever seen which was the very slow dripping yellow bag of intravenous that I received and also went home from the hospital with but in tablet form.

1969 was before research and publication of "near death experiences." Obviously I could not tell anyone what had really happened or even discuss it for many years. When the first books came out, I still did not feel comfortable enough to even want to read them. It was in 1973 that I first told a dear, close friend what had happened. My children and family did not even know.

KingEbukaNaija:
Lmao ... bro ... Looks like we have new atheist proponents and even exponents of afterlife and spirits . Some atheists (P1) believe those people that see ghosts and believe in the afterlife are delusional and there are some atheists (P2) who believe in spirits and the afterlife like religious people .

How will P1 and P2 reconcile their different views ? This is so interesting . Looks like both sides see the other side as delusional , illogical , close-minded .
