Out of Body Experiences
ASTRAL TRAVEL RESEARCH

The studies made by researchers such as doctor's Sabom, Kubber-Ross and Moody of testimonials from hospital patients who have been snatched from the brink of death demonstrate that most people report similar experiences- they step outside of their body into their astral form. From a vantage point, usually on the ceiling, they see their 'dead' body. Sometimes they recall, when resuscitated, of having seen their operation in progress. They narrate details about the procedures that, without an extensive medical knowledge, they could have never known.

ASTRAL TRAVEL EXAMPLE

Here's a fascinating example that was sent to me at one of my columns in the newspapers:In 1967 I had a severe asthma attack and was rushed to the old Royal Hospital in Portsmouth. I vaguely recall waking in an oxygen tent and a lot of fuss going on around me. I don't know at what point I drifted out of my body but I do know now that my heart stopped and I was rushed to the Resuscitation Ward. I could see myself attached to a ventilator with lots of wires connected to me. I could see a doctor, two nurses and the bizarre sight of a man dressed in a bow-tie and full evening suit!

I then went into cardiac arrest and I saw them all trying to restart my heart. I was in no pain and felt no difficulty with my breathing. I was an onlooker, so to speak, watching myself in the hospital bed.

We had no telephone at home and I saw the police bring my husband to the hospital. 'Is there any hope?' I heard him say. 'Very little' replied the man in the evening suit. That was the only moment I felt unhappy.

I felt myself falling down a tunnel and saw my life flash before me like a rapid series of camera pictures. Suddenly I was standing and feeling wonderful with a sense of lightness, happiness and knew that I was surrounded by a great love. Added to this was a feeling of tranquillity. I felt so well it was wonderful!

I then found myself stood to one side of a small arched bridge. There were people singing, not hymns but a lovely song of joy. There were colours such as I have never seen. I wanted to join them but thoughts of my husband stopped me. There were also things that I still wanted to do in life such as have a baby- but it was so very, very tempting to cross.

ASTRAL TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

Stood on the bridge was a Jewish man holding a cross. He 'spoke' to me telepathically and asked 'Are you ready to cross?' I recall saying 'No. No No!' then immediately returned to my body. I could now 'hear' conversations going on around me in the hospital. 'She's slipping away' they said. But I knew that I would live and started fighting the ventilator to prove that I could breathe by myself. 'Why can't these people see I'm not going to die?'.

After four days I was detached from the ventilator and gradually got well. The man who previously wore the evening suit when I was in a coma was now in a doctor's white coat as he walked into the ward. I asked the nurse about him. 'He's the surgeon who performed a tracheotomy operation on you to try to save your life' said the nurse. 'I know' I replied 'But why was he wearing a bow-tie and evening suit?' The nurse was dumb struck and then explained that they had to call him from a very important dinner engagement!

I did have a child- a son who is now 27. The pervious year I lost a baby but I know he lives on and one day I will see him. I know I am lucky to have had such a wonderful experience.
