Watching Bill Maher tonight and they have Tina Brown on talking about Heaven as being real... [View all]

From what I gather, there is this scientist who claims he went to heaven when he was dead on the table. What he experienced before he was revived, he claims, was heaven.

Now I was in the same situation, Near death, pumped full of Ativan and Morphine, on the machine and I had a full range of out of body experiences. I was convinced that I had died and was haggling with Beelzebub himself. I could feel myself being pull out of my body and I was having a range of out of this world experiences that could only be possible if I had an out of body happening.

It sure did seem real, as a matter of fact, the memories of that time when I was in the isolation ward pumped full of drugs with a respirator clamped on my face and a trac tube jammed through my throat are still as vivid today, nearly 9 years later. They were real to me.

I went back to check out the tv schedule on line when I got home and sure enough, there were a whole bunch of shows that were responsible for my visions.

That's all I have to say about near death experiences.
