  Watching all those people walking around staring at their smart phones all day make me wonder: is there life before death?

  A day after my father died I was awoken by his hand caressing my head. That’s what he used to do when I was a child.

  I am a retired, male, U.S.A. citizen living in Guatemala.  I just watched YouTube presentation given by the Davision of Perpetual Studies, University of Virginia.  I remembered my own experience when watching the panel.  I will be 75 years old soon.  I can't remember the year exactly at the moment but I had a surgery at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles (probably mid-80's).  I went in early in the morning to have a lump removed on my left tricep.  It was not to be a very serious operation but I had to wait (on a gurney and in a gown, non-premedicated) until around noon when they wheeled me in.  I was very nerous and I way laying on my stomach with my left arm up cluting a guide rail connected to the gurney.  I believe the surgeon used a local and it did NOT deaden the area.  He proceeded to cut away and instructed the nurse to "get the blood here"...I had a terrible pain that felt searing and I was hot...the surgeon impatient.  I passed out (later I found out it was code blue and I went into convultions and died)...what I felt, knew and saw was the following:  Immediately I was released into a cool atmosphere with no pain and I was glad and free...it was odd, I felt very good, almost refreshed as I was going doward, free floating, into what looked like a gray freight elevator shaft (without the elevator) at some point a looming black male shadow appeared slightly above me and repeated said, strongly, not friendly, very male and I had never hear that voice before..."Leonard go back" .. repeatedly (maybe three or four times the same.  I awoke and there was a special team working on me..several doctors and medical professionals and I was still in the operating room and they took me into the same room I was in before and curtained me off...they kept checking my pulse every few minutes for a couple of hours and then sent me home and to a cardiologist later and my own Doctor right away.  That's my "experience" and it was not frightening, it was relief from pain and the cool feeling was something I remember liking very much.  If you would like more information I will be happy to contact you directly or email...I now live in a small village at the foot of the Volcan de Fuego (it recently erupted and didn't frighten me, few things do).  Leonard R.

  For what it is worth.My Wife was absolutely fine,And was ready to go and meet her friends to go to a WI Carol concert.Four minutes later she died in my arms.I said to her I’m calling 999, (This is the UK.)The last words she said was “NO” and tried to snatch the phone from my hand.The paramedics arrived and could do nothing.I honestly believe that she did not want to come back.It was her time.And she was in that place where she wanted to be.Despite the love that we had for each other.This is the first time I have shared this on the internet.but this site is absolutely right.

  People from the third world DO talk about a tunnel of light. I&apos;m a Mexican &nbsp;cardiologist, &nbsp;and many of my patients who were reanimated (we don&apos;t say resuscitate because we&apos;re not gods who can resuscitate anything) told me about those experiences . I didn&apos;t find any cultural differences. &nbsp;Some of them were Catholic, &nbsp;some Protestant, &nbsp;some athieists. Some were postgraduates, some had difficulty to read and write; All of them had very similar experiences.<br>I want to congratulate the scientists who gave the lecture because of their open mind. Real scientists are open to study anything without dogmatism

  I&apos;m a medical doctor and find the subject of consciousness and death extremely relevant for life and the fundamental health of our civilisation.

  I was in a head on car crash 18 years ago. Hit by a car on the wrong side of the road. Scull crushed in, one eye destroyed, front of my brain left as scar tissue after a serious traumatic brain injury, collapsed lungs leading to a cardiac arrest, both lower legs crushed with left ankle cut through to free me from the car I was trapped for 40 minutes in. &nbsp;I was resuscitated in the car by a paramedic &amp; then in the ambulance by a doctor at the scene. &nbsp;I was given just 2 hours to live as told by my police inspector that night, &nbsp;my team manager as I was a police officer then in London, but hit in my own car on a day off from work. &nbsp;In a coma for 2 weeks, 4 weeks in intensive care, 3 months in hospital. &nbsp;I have quite a run of memories of the moments after collision and before waking from the coma. &nbsp;With the help of a skilled regression hypnotherapist, I also remember looking down at where the cars came to rest after impact. &nbsp;Today, I&apos;m almost reduced to tears when I relive that moment and more so the incredible experiences of a place I was in before I woke up after being brain dead, physically almost dead and with almost no hint today that ever happened, my scull has been rebuilt, my remaining brain has adapted and I am left pondering the reality of what I touched when I watch well presented cases of such research.
