John G's Probable NDE

I have experienced many things I later found out no one else could see, from nearly infancy. My "feelings, or premonitions" saved my life at least 3 times , 2 of them in Boston, where I was held up at gunpoint, but I knew ahead what was coming, and what to do. Both times, the police were shocked I wasn't dead, or at least shot. I am 54, never had even a beer, and had a 182 IQ back in Jr.High ( Ridgefield, Ct). I have an uncanny memory, along with mild dyslexia.

 During the summer of 1983, after listening to subliminal tapes at night, to open up "psychic abilities"...I was walking across the pastures of my new farm, and got a vision I can still go back to in my mind, and examine things. I saw my dear late mother Louise to the left, from above, in stirrups, and knocked out, bleeding profusely. To the right of her , was the doctor, he was bald on the top, with curly ringlets going grey. I knew he didn't want to be there, and was disgusted to have to be there, as he pulled off the gloves, to get ready to go scrub up again to sew my mother up. I also was aware that he was a golfer, and a social climber. I didn't like him on any level. He mildly disgusted me.

  All the way over, to the right , were two nurses, on the right of the two, was one of Scandinavian American heritage. I didn't really relate to her, but she was a kind , rather passive , and uninteresting person to me.  Next to her, was a very large Irish/American nurse. In her arms was the most handsome baby you could imagine....other than he was red and purple, with a dangling umbilical cord. The cord was maybe 10''. As I looked, I realized it was me.

The fat Irish nurse would not give up on me, as I think she knew about the C's being special ( the veil).

  The following Christmas, I flew my mother Louise to Dallas, and when we got to my home, I asked : "mom...was I born dead??"

For the first time in my life she yelled at me saying 'OH MY GOD......WHO TOLD YOU??? NO ONE COULD HAVE TOLD YOU...I NEVER EVEN TOLD YOUR FATHER"

I accurately described everything to Louise, who lived her life only in truth.

I'm only bothering with this, as I would hope women might be aware that prior to my first breath, I understood everything going on in the delivery room, and knew what everyone was "about", as people.  I agree that life begins at conception, obviously, and have unique insight to share. 

 I did suffer mild, and at the time , undiagnosed , dyslexia. I actually stayed back the year they had given IQ tests, and the office at Ridgefield High School, in CT, called my mother and said " Mrs G, Jay CHEATED on his IQ test" ...my mother apologized humbly..... three hours later, got another  call  " Well, Mrs G, no one else's IQ is even close to Jay's....obviously, there must have been some mistake". From the beginning of 7th grade, take two...a new guidance councilor from NYNY, Mrs G, was fascinated by my IQ, and tested me before school, during lunch and break, and after school, for the entire school year.  The results surfaced that following summer......exactly 182 again. They surmised that I " didn't apply myself" .

 We were the liberals , in Ridgefield CT, and the school system pandered to the wealthy, not us.  After my vision, and conformation with my mother , I realized where the learning disability started, and over the decades, grew to forgive myself.  Paradoxically, a very kind couple used to shop at the aquarium I worked at, and he was a dean of admission , at Dartmouth. I was accepted to school at age 15.....and if the drunk drive hadn't hit us on Easter Sunday, 1970, I would have gone, as I was wanting to work with endangered species in Africa, or Australia.  Having had the offer though, was always very comforting to me.  I have always been on a different path than my contemporaries. I didn't want to be, but I was.  I'm not hung up on money, though it seems to always come to me, and I think I'm not passive per se, but very loving and caring. I have always had dreams about events and people , in premonitions. I can not seem to turn it on, but have much pre-cognition. 

When two, at Barnum and Baileys Circus, in Stamford Ct, I escaped under the bleachers, and ended up in the Elephant Tent.  I wasn't talking yet, took long long time to, but I knew what the elephants were thinking, and the female kept me against her front left leg, and in a definite order, she permitted each of the other 14 of them, to shuffle around their noisy chains, reach me, and check me out. They were very gentle, and always started at my head...down my face  ( they had humid breath ...with hairs in trunk!!!) and the slowed down on my face...then half way down....then would go to my sandaled feet...back up to the  middle...pause  then continue to head, at which time the lead female would just tense up a little, and tell them it was the next ones turn. It didn't scare me at all, I knew I was safe...finally, with half the state police searching for me, the elephant trainer came in, and in a crude loud voice said "get OUT of here"....mildly insulted and offended, I ran out......guess who got a harness after that??

  My mother always said  i was born 1231.....birth certificate states 3:43, but my mom was out by the time I was talked back in. Well, here I am, and every day has been a gift from God !!!   I live my life that way !!
