Not to be so inviting and trusting, or forgiving.

Not really, one time I was fucking around in my car that I just got and I was going pretty fast down a gravel road next thing I know I'm spinning around in circles, I look over and see that my drivers door is heading right towards a tree, and I'm literally about to die, luckily right before I'm about to smack the tree I get stuck in the ditch(I alsost rolled, but I came back down right before I went completely over.) I nearly pissed myself.
I didn't have much time to think about anything other than "Oh shit, I'm about to die.”
The main thing I learned from it was to really respect motor vehicles, because you can very easily end up dead if you don't.
I think I was glad that this happened when I first started driving because if not I might have pushed it even more at some point later on and I could of ended up dead, but now I always use caution when driving.

hospitalized twice for OD, on one of the occasions my heart stopped in the ambulance.
I have been in other situations, (threats of violence, full body paralysis, etc) where I believed my death was imminent.
As far as what I learned, I just no longer fear death. once you've accepted it so many times it becomes less scary

Only ego death, though I've had fully immersive hallucinations that were so real it was impossible to tell it was a result of any drug. I guess I did almost get hit by a car when I was younger, but there's no way for sure to say that it would have killed me

I lost faith in all religion a few months before this, so if there is a Jesus I doubt he's watching out too much for me, lol.

Came close to drowning few times while body boarding big swells. Breathed in water and felt the black closing around me. Popped up just in time only to have another wave push me right down to the bottom (managed one tiny breath, that felt like I didn't even get any air) and pin me there.
Ended up on the beach after getting drilled for about 70 meters underwater. Friends dragged me up on the sand while I was throwing up white froth from my lungs and stomach. Got all the water off my lungs luckily or that could've been trouble also.

I learned that life isn't as special as everyone makes it out to be, and that black people with guns don't always make decisions based on logic. Almost drowning when I was 3 really changed my perspective though through my entire life. I always thought I was going to die when I was young, and never really had serious long term goals.

My friend had an above ground pool with a latter that went into it and a coiled over into the water part. Well we were swimming and shit and I tried to worm through one latter hole to the other and got wedged in between and couldn't fucking move, I instantly panickked and the latter kinda came loose and allowed for me to free myself...really scary..
..also fell from a moving truck going 25mph holding on to the window trying to get my batttery for my phone from then girlfriend in the passenger seat. Friend driving was drunk as fuck and didn't know and kept driving. he was going like 30, i fell, feet got the pavement and I tried to run with it but just straight hit the ground and almost got ran over..
mad road rash! fuck!

facing death can mean 2 different things. Because if you believe youre facing death even if you aren't...you're still experiencing what it'd be like to believe you're about to die...facing death. which yeah...I'm not sure if they were panic attacks or what but there's been more than one occasion I've thought my body was just shutting down and failing on me and I was almost sure I was gonna die...getting thoughts you only get when you realize your life is about to be over...like just kind of your finally looking around and realizing that you were in this thing called life kind of thoughts...then that leading to who you're leaving behind...what kind of impact it'll make...being scared of fuck of whats coming after you're dead...the feeling that you're about to lose everything you think you own...which I think ego death is like the same...abandoning your ego is abandoning every possession and everything you thought was "yours" in life...like even the fact we call it "my life"

Dmt being released before you die has not been proven. The only thing we have proof of is its found in trace amounts in our blood, and its found in the penal gland in rats. Other than that its all speculation.

A lot of people say that, like when you're about to die time slows down and your whole life replays in your head, so how do you know if this is real life or is this just you remembering your life? Furthermore what if none of this is real and were just a computer simulation, its very possible.
