I am surprised that (from what I have seen) no one has posted a topic of this sort…
Anyway, I’ve had two near-death experiences. I will describe one of them below, but the reason I am posting this on this website is I want to hear about your experiences. Have any of you had any near-death experiences and what were they like? Also, I’d love to hear your analysis of what happened and what you make of it. You can also ask me questions about the one that I post below if you wish.
Hopefully this is obvious but death death can be violent so trigger warning: The following will briefly describe violence.
When I was 19 I took a drink from a stranger and was kidnapped… So anyway, I was trying to get away and fight back and they were strangling me and that’s when I had the out of body experience. It was like one moment I was being strangled and the next moment I was sitting next to me watching it happen.
Has anyone else had an out of body experience like that? What was it like for you?
For me, I had a rather underwhelming life review & for the 1st time in my entire life, I didn’t want to die. It was like suddenly everything made so much sense…like many people on their death bed, I realized I spent my entire life focused on the wrong things. Anyways, since this community is magical and engages with spirits and astral travel and all sorts of things… I was just wondering if any of you had near-death experiences and what it was like for you.
This happened to me long before my magical journey started & now that I have studied magic a bit, sometimes I try to think about it in that context and I wonder how it would have been different if I’d had a better understanding of the spirit world and everything at the time… A lot of crazy things happened. For example, when I was trying to escape and I was so close to getting away but not close enough. I swear I felt like I saw my ancestors. Like just out of side of my perception I could see them. Even though I doubt the kidnappers could see them… They appear to suddenly become anxious and it made me wonder if they could feel them. At the time, I thought I was absolutely crazy or perhaps it was wishful thinking… But now that I have learned about magic and psychic work. I start to wonder if maybe I wasn’t crazy and my ancestors really did show up to nearly physical form. It’s very difficult to explain, but it’s like they showed up almost in the form of thunder clouds that came from the sky but were very low to the ground.
We have a few on here, I’m sure I’ve posted my experiences more than a couple of times. Try different keywords in your search like “NDE” instead of spelling it out. Also related things like reincarnation traps, archons, afterlife, river styx, psychopomp etc.

I was in a car roll over and, while I didn’t get the generic life flashing before my eyes bit, I did get yanked out of time, and became a passive observer to what was happening. Even though the event happened over thirty years ago, I can still vividly remember how everything slowed down, like I was watching a movie in slow motion. I snapped back into reality after the car had stopped rolling, only to find blood dripping down my fingers from a wound in the back of my hand that I didn’t remember receiving. I learned later that the car had rolled three times after it had left the road.

Wow. Other than the wound on your hand, were you generally ok? Did this experience change the way you think about time or how you feel about the connection with your body? Did this incident change the way you view life in any way?
Thanks for the new word! I’ve never heard Psychopomp before. When I just looked it up, Google said it’s a guide. In the first near-death experience I had, I literally did have a guide taking me somewhere. I was on the other side for a much longer time…But then I was called back.
Unfortunately once I was on this side of the veil again (after about 30 min) it’s like my memory was just wiped. Like a crazy dream you know you’ll remember but then it just vanishes. I remember the bright light & the psychopomp but that’s pretty much it.
I am fine to never have another near-death experience since they’re pretty scary sometimes… But sometimes I wonder what it would be like now that I have a deeper understanding of spirituality. Is Astro traveling basically like the same thing? That’s why I asked the question of people who have had near-death experiences. I was just wondering if it was also like their astral traveling experiences. Or if their near death experience changed their understanding of the spirit world.

In astral traveling you are awake and usually conscious on your body. The more you go into site contact, the more you lose the sense of your physical body.
It’s ideal to keep hold of the physical so can can report back my making notes as you go, or speak to a monitor who makes notes, or as you’ve noticed, a lot is forgotten otherwise. That’s totally normal.
As far as I can tell, in order for the conscious mind to access info, it must be recorded in the brain. The subconsuous can access anything, and it can tell you abusing if you learn to communicate with it, and then your conscious mind records the conversation. So if you move your consciousness into your astral body, which can’t write to the brain records, and you don’t transfer those data while you have the connection happening, the consious mind loses the data. Writing it down during the session achieves this data transfer.
