Non-existence

I was having a particularly bad asthma attack and was rushed to the hospital. While there I stopped breathing and had to be revived.

When I was a child I was in a hospital for dying children (both my lungs had collapsed and they didn't think I would make it. While there I often saw what I called "Takers". Opaque people who took the hand of children who were about to die and lead them away.

I was determined NEVER to take their hands so I was conscious of where my hands were and held them closed tightly.

I heard a lot of rapid discussion and felt a pulling sensation all over. The next thing I was sitting cross-legged (supported mid air) in the middle of a great void. It wasn't dark. It wasn't light. It was NOTHING. I was in the middle of absolutely nothing. I can't express how empty it was. I felt no emotion. Not even calm.

I seemed to be there an eternity, as if there was no such thing as time. I had been there for the whole of existence, in both directions. I knew there was something important I was supposed to be thinking about, but it was hard to care.

I remembered briefly, how hard it was to breathe and whether the attached feelings meant anything. I spent some time thinking about the life that went with those feelings. Not exactly judging but measuring, foul ups against successes. It was NOT judging but just taking stock. I was slowly becoming painfully aware that whatever the measure came to there was not one damn thing I could do to fix it. (That is now my idea of heaven and hell. My own personal measure of how I went.)

Then there was pain. And the loud voices, and I knew I was back. There was no relief at being back. I didn't want to stay in the void, and I didn't want to be back either.

As a result I have no fear of death. I know I'm doing the very best I can with my life and so there's nothing more I can do to fix that measuring. I just don't like the idea of being in either place and I would be much happier if I could choose complete non-existence.

Child leaves body when suffocated and returned "knowing" religions are false

My mother was abusive and had been suffocating me with a pillow sporadically, beginning when I was 5. I was a screamer and she would hold the pillow over my face until I quit struggling and went quiet. I learned to quit struggling very quickly.

Man going into surgery talks to God and sees beautiful scenery

In November 2016, I went in for spinal cord surgery. My surgery was successful, but two days later, before I was to be discharged, the nurse noticed I was bleeding from my surgical site. They notified the doctor of my bleeding, the doctor controlled the hemorrhage, and I had to go back to surgery.

When I went into pre-op to get ready for my second surgery, I felt like something was going to happen, like I was doing to die. I remember lying on the gurney in a dark room. I remember hearing a beautiful waterfall. Then I looked to my left, and seeing the waterfall, I said to myself, “I'm dead.”

After saying that, I saw the most beautiful blue sky and then trees I had never seen before, and then I saw a beautiful mountain. It was the most peaceful and calm place, and then I felt God's presence. I started talking to him, then I felt his arms start to hold me, then we talked.

I remember saying that I was going to see my body on the gurney because I felt my body on the gurney. I was still talking to God and I did not want to return to my body or go back, but I had to come back. But I said, “I'm going to count to three, then I'm going to see my body lying on the gurney.” When I started to count, I said, “One.” I was still looking around in amazement and still talking to God. Then I said, “Two,” getting ready to see my body, and before I could say, “Three,” it felt like a vacuum sucked me back in my body. I woke up paralyzed on my right side.

I asked the doctors what happened and they said that they "lost me for a while."
