6102	John R NDE	https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1john_r_nde_6102.html	Experience was definitely real	My reality is sprinkled with something I can only call 'magic' for lack of a better term. First the near drowning as a lad, then the accident on the cliff's edge. Then in 1982, about seven years later, my wife, her son, and I hopped out of a house that would be completely swept away a few minutes after we left. We left because my wife had a very clear message imprinted on her brain, to ‘LEAVE NOW!’ This was another affirmation of a link to another dimension of some sort. These experiences, as well as others, form a mosaic in my life, that makes all it very very interesting. Not a bad role to be playing, though I have always been puzzled as to why I have had so many unusual occurrences.	NDE due to truck accident and several other experiences described.

Now, I no longer have that fear, as I have had the chance to meet others who also had NDE type experiences.

NDE due to motorcycle accident. Among the most transcendent NDEs ever reported to NDERF. Very long account, but a must read!

				However, as mentioned above, at the time of having the experience I had no context into which to put it. That context came around a year later (1975) when I went into a bookshop to browse around for a book to buy. As it so happened there was a special little display set up for a book that was proclaimed as a new international best-seller. The book was Raymond Moody's 'Life After Life'. "Oh," I thought, "wonder what that is about."

				I picked up a copy and started to dip into it. I couldn't begin to explain the range of emotions I was feeling as I read this bit, then that bit, then this bit. It quickly became very, very clear that what I was reading was accounts of an experience by people who had been through the same kind of experience that I had been through. It had to be that because they couldn't be saying what they were saying if they hadn't had that experience. I was standing there with my jaw dropped in a state of sheer human joy and nearly crying in the shop because of it. I thought I was the only one! But here were accounts by others. The book did not provide proof of the reality of my experience for me, I didn't need that I never had any doubts of the reality of the experience. What the book did was vindicate my already existing knowing that the experience was real û others had had the same experience too û and it instantly put it into a context that I could see was absolutely right.

				I bought the book and spent the rest of that day and night reading it in a state of overwhelming gratitude and joy, often with tears rolling down my face, for what it contained. It also greatly helped me in slotting parts of my experience into a structure that allowed clearer understand of the experience.

I am not saying it because I lived it, or because I am 100% sure that what I remember is what I actually lived. In fact, I know that memories can change during life.

A Nurse came over to me and asked how I was feeling, I looked at her and then looked at the room, and with a big sigh, I said to the nurse and myself. 'Oh Shit, I’m back!!!' The nurse laughed and said, 'Yes, you are back! How do you feel?' I think I just moaned and asked for some water. After a few hours of myself coming conscience again, an Army Major came in my room with some of my personal gear. He proceeded to ask me where he should have my personal items delivered. He had my Attaché Case, sunglasses, and watch. I looked at my Attaché Case, and I asked, 'How did you find it in the bushes?'…The Major was shocked! 'How did you know it was in the bushes?' I told the Major to have a seat and proceeded to tell him a story that he will never forget. Then I told him that I saw the whole Ambush from above and I know everything that happened. I told him that they caught one of the South Vietnamese Deserters that shot at us, and he had my watch that he took off my body. I told him that all of my six friends were killed and when the MP’s came over to the Ambush site, they killed two of the Deserters. In addition, I told him that a red headed MP and a tall skinny Army Medic came over to my body and declared that I was Killed In Action (KIA), then you came over to confirm that I was indeed KIA, and then the Medic threw a blanket over my body before they put me in the meat wagon that was going to the Morgue. And, that he was the Officer that came on the scene and he was wearing a combat helmet and flak jacket. He drove a Jeep with an M-60 machine gun that was Mounted in the back seat. I told him that he was also the one that found my motorcycle in the ditch and ordered the MP’s to bring it to the pickup that they had there, and put the bike in the pickup!

				You should have seen the Major’s face!!! His jaw dropped and he was white with shock! 'How did you know all of that?'

				I just told him the truth and that I saw everything from above looking at a large TV screen. He just shook his head, as he was walking out of the room, he looked back at me about four times, and before he exited the room, he said, 'Well, I guess then there is life after death!' I said to him that, 'You have No Idea Major!!!' And then he said, 'You know, you were under that blanket for a good twenty minutes at least.' As the Major left the room, the Doctor came in at the same time and the Major asked the Doctor if anyone else has come in to see me. The Doctor said 'No, no one except you so far; he just woke up a few hours ago!' Then the Major scratched his head, looked at me again and gave me a thumbs up and left the room.

The fact that I wasn't clinically dead does not invalidate my experience, it only suggests that consciousness can detach from the body prior or post physical death.

9155	Val C NDE	https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1val_c_nde.html	Experience was definitely real	There was a point in my life where I started to wonder if it was in fact caused by chemicals in a dying brain based upon something I had read about how they can cause you to have an NDE experience if they stimulate a particular part of the brain. Then I thought, but why would we have a 'God' area of the brain if there wasn't a reason for it? Also, the experience was just so damn real and profound. It's hard to just dismiss that. It completely changed my life. I do think, after studying these more, that when we die our expectations create some of what we experience. So some people may experience hell and others a particular religious figure or whatever. I don't think that means that the whole experience is based on our expectations, just that it makes sense that we are creative beings and also there may be a calming function to seeing Jesus or a meadow of flowers that matches your idea of heaven or whatever. I think this is why I saw geometric shapes in the void after thinking I should be seeing SOMETHING!	NDE at age 16 with severe headache and apparent loss of consciousness.
