EXACTLY a year ago, I had an NDE. I have experienced several times that feeling of dying, of letting go and "becoming one", on mushrooms and acid. This time it wasn't that. I was very close to dying and it felt like death. I could actually feel death being near me and I felt it so alive I could almost smell it. After getting over that initial feeling of fear, I had a realization: that if I wanted to remain alive (which I did), I had to preserve every drop of energy that I had and panicking was taking me a lot from that. It's amazing to experience that instinct of self preservation like that. It was like I was entering in this auto-pilot mode where all I could feel was an overwhelming peace. Not bliss, not any other jumpy feeling, no feeling of oneness, nothing else but pure peace. And something that I defined as being death that was near me. I think I have never been so lucid in my life, because, besides feeling like dying I also felt SO much alive. I went ok out of that situation. Do I associate the idea of death with that experience? I surely do. But I also associate it with those moments of "ego death" that I feel with psychedelics, and which like I already stated, feels TOTALLY different. This only leaves me thinking that maybe none of those experiences are death. And that perhaps it is not even what's important. That experience that I had has surely changed something big inside of me, including my death anxiety which is not that intense anymore. Along with it, came the realization that I LOVE to live and to feel this life, I love being curious about it and I would love to stay here for quite a good while.  Why limit ourselves to an idea regarding death (no matter how convincing it might sound and feel), when there are endless possibilities and what it's obvious that we know so little? Why write books about life after death and lost relatives which are trying to contact us through the realm of death? Why create false hope? Is it so hard to see that, by doing that, we're actually working against ourselves?

On a High dose of mushrooms while deppressed i FREAKED the fuck out. I deserved everything that happened to me and it was a great reminder to treat every drug with respect.
ANYWAY. While i freaked out and running outside, I jumped on a police car.......that had a cop INSIDE IT!
I guess I should call this a Near Life Experiance because in my mind i "was" Dead and it was the way for me to live again.
While in "Survival" mode.....humans have 2 options. You can either fight or Flight. I dont need to say which one i choose to do.
All i wanna say is this. When humans are Truley facing "Death" It is no joke what the human body and mind can withstand. I took 3 Tasers....batton hits to the face, and punches from what had to be the biggest cop in southern california. Each time i got right back to my feet to continue "What i was doing".
I felt every ounce of pain there was. But when humans need lots of determination, nothing activates your inner beast like a "Threat to you life".
No idea if thats off topic or not but hope it helps

It helps me realize that some people need a sitter when they trip.

I once had a Near Life Experience!
Does that count?
