DAVID: If you liked Dr. Alexander gorge on this site:

http://www.near-death.com/experiences/research11.html

It's too much to take in at a single sitting, but here we have an astonishing collection of near-death experiences. I hope Matt will let us know whether he is now prepared at least to consider the possibility that there might be a form of psychic energy beyond the material world as we know it.

Thank you, David.

I read these accounts with interest, but this one by Pam Reynolds especially caught my attention:

It was communicated to me that it [returning to her body] was like jumping into a swimming pool. No problem, just jump right into the swimming pool. I didn't want to, but I guess I was late or something because he [the uncle] pushed me. I felt a definite repelling and at the same time a pulling from the body. The body was pulling and the tunnel was pushing ... It was like diving into a pool of ice water ... It hurt! When I came back, they were playing Hotel California and the line was "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." I mentioned [later] to Dr. Brown that that was incredibly insensitive and he told me that I needed to sleep more. (Pam Reynolds)

Pam's experience of reentry into her body as, "diving into a pool of ice water" and it hurting, so reminded me of what happens to me when I am startled awake while in a deep sleep. My body always feels as if it has suddenly been plunged into ice water and it's always very painful, altho only momentarily.

I mentioned this experience before to a few folks at different times in my life, both believers of the consciousness or soul having a life apart from the body. They both gave the same explanation: Our soul/consciousness "astral travels" while we are in REM sleep, and if the consciousness is hurried back into the body for whatever reason, the feeling can sometimes be recognized as painful. Being suddenly awakened brings both realities into play; being free outside the body and suddenly within the body. The split second contrast can be received by the emotional body as pain. I was surprised to hear Pam describe her experience so like my own.

Very interesting accounts! Thanks!
