I had an out of body experience while having something very traumatic happen to me. I did not go anywhere, I just hovered in the room. Has this happened to any one else before? Personally, my belief is that God let me (my soul) out of my body so I could get away from what was happening? Any thoughts? (This happened many years ago.) Jen
Without knowing what they were, I had several while I was a kid. My father was a batterer, and would go into rages and start hitting my sister, my brother and me and these rages could last an hour. I remember very vividly "leaving" my body so I didn't have to feel being hit with fists, drinking glasses, dishes, etc.
When my mother got involved in AA, one of her male AA friends came over. Well, he may have been sober -- but he was also a perp who liked children, and this went on for two years with the concomitant threats of "if you tell, I'll kill your parents" which kept me quiet. During the times when we were together, I left my body so I didn't have to experience what was going on.
I had a VIVID out of body experience in 1989 when the "stomach flu" I thought I had turned out to be an abscessed appendix which finally had ruptured. Instead of going to the hospital when said rupturing appendix was diagnosed, I went to the store and bought two weeks' worth of groceries and cleaned out the cat box (first things first!) and THEN went to the hospital.
During surgery, my heart stopped (at 6:32 pm) and I remember being suddenly jerked out of my body and watching the surgeons, who were going into panic mode. I tried getting their attention, but couldn't; and then it occurred to me that I might be
dead!
I floated out to the waiting room, where the person who had taken me to the hospital was waiting -- and then saw "the tunnel" which seemed far off, but got bigger and brighter as I walked towards it.
I started walking up through the tunnel (which looked like black marble with gold streak filling in the marble) and saw people gathering on the other end -- my mother, my grandfather, my Aunt Beulah, etc. -- and then suddenly, as I was walking, I felt a tremendous "jerk" and the next thing I knew I was waking up in intensive care.
The surgeon came in later that day and told me I had given them quite a scare, and I asked him what he meant by, "Holy [profanity], we're going to lose him!" He dropped his board, jumped back and started exclaiming, "You couldn't have heard that! You couldn't have heard that!" I told him I
did heart that, and it was at 6:32 pm and I even tried getting their attention but couldn't!
The last one I had was back in January, 1998 when I developed double pneumonia. The evening the disease hit, I was lying in bed watching "smoke" rising up on the walls (probably delirium) and then I remember lurching out of my body and floating down the hall into the living room. At the time, there was nobody at home so I put in a CD (the Berlioz
Requiem) and listened to it before floating back upstairs.
When someone finally came home, my temperature had topped out at just a little over 105 and, of course, I ended up in the hospital. I know I couldn't have left the bed because I didn't have the strength (or the breath) to get up, and the Berlioz
Requiem is very much an acquired taste (and I'm the only one in my household with that taste) so I really can't account for how the CD got in the player.
the ....Energy?...the light energy...?(the infra-red, the gamma ray energy, the delta ray energy, the alpha and the omega energy power,what positive electro-magnetic radiation is...etc) as a positive element of the power bridge in our lives ... THE POWER OF THE POSITIVE....(???)...is it energy?
I'm sorry to hear of your pain and childhood abuse...
