I clicked on this thread by accident,except I suspect it probably was anything but.
There is an immense amount of information to read and process. I now need to go away and mull it over.
I was baptised a Catholic, and though have never had a conscious near death experience,both myself and eldest son were very close to death,when he was born,by emergency section.An event which was precipitated by another non coincidence.So I do feel we were both saved.
Yet I also know beyond any shadow of doubt,that I have been in the presence of evil.This event preceeded the "saved" experience.
I had to drive as if my wheels were on fire,until I reached a church,which I knew inctively would be the only place I would be safe.(odd as I had not set foot in a church in years)
As soon as I hurled myself into the grounds,literally,I relaxed and the terror left me.
I certainly never,ever want to have that terror again,and it was, complete undiluted terror.I was sober and to this day,I can hardly bear to recall it.
I discussed the incident with a priest, who shed some light on the matter.I was concerned that it was something within me,but the explanation he gave was more plausible.
I have to really think now,how I am going to process all this information, and how it fits into my life.
