Life after Death?

A Disturbance in the Force
Just wanted to know your thoughts on those that "come back" after a clinical death, and the changes they undergo. I was dead for 7 minutes with a major health concern in '09. I have not been "myself" since. At least, I have not been anything like the version that died.
I find myself with an almost totally different personality, and set of ideals and priorities, tastes and preferences. Almost everything that could be different, is. Meanwhile I have to act like nothing has changed. My family insists nothing is different/I am the same. It's because so many of my changes are not the kind I would share with them. I don't want them to know I doubt my religious beliefs now. Or that I think the idea of marriage is an antiquated one that I no longer subscribe to in my heart.
To confuse me further, I went to a card reader a year or so ago. She pulled me into a different room and told me she saw spirits all around me, and she wanted to know why. I told her about my experience, then she said I had brought those spirits back with me from the other side. And they were influencing me, even though I didn't realize it. She explained it as almost like having multiple personalities. I want to say she was a nutcase, but she told me some other things she couldn 't have possibly known or otherwise deduced.
So I don't really know what I think. About any of it.

That's a difficult question for me. Personally, I'd like more certainty regarding the difference between the ideas of "life after death" in the sense of no returning to the same body, and coming back after a clinical death pronouncement.

Your story reads like many others with the addition of a medium's perception of spirits around you. I'm not knowledgeable enough to address that part, but it seems to me that in most all cases like yours, people seem to obtain a deep, profound sense of calmness; that they are somehow eternally existing and with an understanding that it's the simple things that add or take away genuine meaning to a persons experience of their own life.

It might be helpful to know if you've read Laura's Wave or Adventure series and how you found this forum.
 
Hi confusedone,

That is a perplexing situation, and I can understand your confusion. Besides what the card reader told you, after being dead for seven minutes, I might wonder about possible physiological and/or neurological side-effects as well?

Yes, it would be great if you could post that in an intro on the Newbies forum.

One thing that came to mind from what you wrote is that if you were in a hospital you might have acquired some spirit attachments from the near death experience. That could be part of what is influencing you in terms of changes.
 
I have had a near death experience myself, when I was 16. I was "dead" for 5 minutes. I can relate to you in that aspect. One of my close friends had a NDE as well (although before I had met them, and not at the same time as I). Our experiences were both very different in what we saw, but the overall feeling was remarkably similiar. We both experienced a sort of disintegration of the self into a oneness, a going back into everything/environment that surrounds us. Before that feeling was an experience of peace, or that "everything was okay". What was your experience of your state like when you were clinically dead for those 7 minutes?

Have you read any books about the NDE or OOBE? There may be some information there to help you realize how you feel about the situation that happened to you. There could be shared experiences that are also similiar to yours that you could relate to, or find resolution in. I believe there is another thread on the forum about NDE's also. I too agree that looking at the Wave series may be helpful to you, and maybe Carlos Castaneda's "The Active Side of Infinity". Journaling or writing about the experience could also be helpful, maybe a comparision of the person you felt you were before the experience and the person you feel you are after the experience. That may help you identify what you feel is different.

I was also curious about why you feel you are a different person? Is that feeling going in a negative direction besides what the reader told you? Do you sense the "presences" around you? I hope you can find the information you're looking for. I can relate but I do not know too much about mutiple spirit attachments, or multiple/fragmented personality disorders.

I find this interesting somehow.. Could be that "temporal death" something that may affect the emotional center in some way?

Like I wrote in my book "Amazing Grace", I can't prove that spirit attachments are real "dead dudes" hanging around a person, I can only say that the therapeutic model was quite efficient and productive for the most part (very few exceptions). So you might want to look into Spirit Releasement therapy; at the very least read up on it.
 
What book would be recommended to read for a good view on Spirit Releasement therapy? I've seen that William Baldwin's book is highy recommended. Would this be a good start for a layman?

I read his book, probably not a bad idea. :)
