br. patrick and his near-death experiences...

--- Quote from: moremojo on February 20, 2008, 12:13:33 pm ---I've had one vivid experience that could be described as out of the ordinary: CAT~!
My mother has had one near-death/out-of-body experience, as well as seeing apparitions and sensing unseen presences. My late maternal grandfather told family members that he had had a near-death experience while in the hospital before he returned home to die, and said that Heaven was a beautiful place.

I am learning more and more each day how what we perceive as 'reality' is incredibly limited. I think your cat is somewhere, waiting for you!
Since 1976 I was given the 'ability' to perceive some of that which coexists along with us but we are unaware of. In 1976 I was incredibly frightened and learned to be careful what I pray for~! Now, I still see 'ministering spirits' mostly good but an unfriendly pops in my sight once in a while. In the bible, these are called Thrones and Dominations, Principalities and Powers. That means to me (from my experience) that they are on differing levels of development.. Kind of like comparing the rest of us with Daniel. ;)
But the important thing is that they all have free will and do what they want. And they co-exist in a way that is probably best expressed as 'right along with us..' maybe a few degrees of phase shift or something. I do think they are more aware of us then most of us are of them. And once in a while, a ministering spirit (they look like STARS * ) blinks in and uplifts my spirit. I think that they are the lowest (next to us) on the Totem Pole. A few weeks ago I was talking to my cousin in Oregon and saw dozens~! She was in a bad way and I believe she needed the comfort (she got it through me) I got it through them. Now, why didn't they just show up around her instead of going through me? I think it is because my 'essence' is now so much more open to new Spiritual experiences.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away (well 1975) I had a born again experience. The next year I was baptized in the Spirit and was up near the ceiling. Even though I am EONS away theologically from where I was then, I know I experienced an out of body experience along with a little Ecstasy thrown in for good measure.
I know your mother was right! And I think anyone can develop these abilities through prayer, meditation or (a new one) 'just remaining in the moment, silently' and all will be able to perceive more than our eyes or ears can by themselves.
And your grandfather was sure right on with the experience of Heaven being a beautiful place. Been there, done that, printed the Tee Shirt.
We're gonna have the time of our lives. Can you imagine living without the ability to become bored? That doesn't even come close but I'm opening up in ways that I never thought I would be able to.
{{{Cyberhugs}}} and what a great family. Your genetics tell me you'll experience the same things.. sooner than you think, I would guess~! (I'm NOT saying your dying.. the other stuff and MORE)

I never heard anyone enter the room but I felt someone sit down on the bed. I was scared and didn't open my eyes. Then I felt the bed go back up and I listed by heard no ffot step. I finally got courage top open my eyes but it was too dark to make out anything.

I had a similar experience when I was a teenager. I had taken enough LSD for 4 people and had a really bad trip! When I finally came down and was just resting, face down, the door opened downstairs and someone walked up and touched me. I knew the person but just laid there and experienced it. The person was my mother who had left that house 12 years before and wouldn't EVER go back in. It was just what I needed at the time.
From where I'm at now, I don't think it was my mother, it was a ministering spirit in human form.. (angels unaware..)

Truman and I have been discussing Genealogies in Private Messages. I want to post here what I told him after he asked about my 'other' half. (On my Dad's side I'm mostly Irish)
...
My mom was 100% Croatian (She was born here, her parents are from Zagreb, Yugoslavia). My grandmother (who died when my mom was 7) had two husbands. They had 5 children; 2 who died when very young. Then she married my grandfather. After my mom died and I did a genealogy, I took my aunt up to Escanaba, Mich. to find out stuff. My grandmother was buried along with everyone else with a large tombstone that showed only the family name - Sabor. Now the cemetery records had burned so there was no way I could be sure that this was the right spot. I took Polaroids of the tombstone, then dropped the camera. While I was on the ground I noticed that under a bush, next to the big headstone were two with the children's names on them. SO they kind of reached out and let me know....
But the best is about my grandfather Tom Trcak, who died when my mom was two. I was told that he was buried in the pauper section of the cemetery and that he had a wooden cross. I found the spot, noticed a cross, so I parked and walked over to the section. The cross was metal and was not my grandfather. This section of the cemetery was really dark. A really big evergreen tree shaded the area almost into darkness. As I started back to the car, I realized that my grandfather was there somewhere, so I said a little prayer. All of a sudden I just stopped and behold! A beam of sunlight illuminated a ground type tombstone. On it was "Tom Trcak, 1864-1925." It was my grandfather! I took a picture and even though it is dark but you can still tell that it is illuminated by a beam of sunlight. SO he kind of reached 'up' and grabbed me to say "HI~!"
I have had many mystical experiences in cemeteries over the years. But how my grandparents let me know they were there is the best story I have.

Here's proof... (You can see the letters and numbers two ways. They can be seen as indented or, (what's the word..) sticking OUT.)

Somewhere over the rainbow..
Oops, I meant somewhere on BetterMost I posted a reply to Lynne, I think, about "Cloud Mountains." They can look a whole lot better than this and they look more real when you are 20 miles away. Anyway, here is 'something' to the effect of "Cloud Mountains"

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Brother Patrick! :)
