Pauline’s Near Death Experience

October 30, 2008 on 5:33 am | In Spiritual Experiences | No Comments

Well I had a great time in Belgium. I’ve learned a lot, and I especially know after reading again my last entry. I was worried and had a lot of anxiety. Now, I’m thinking about how we learn to look at adversity with humor. I am feeling so great these days. I’m not really high on life or anything like that, I’ve been there too, but I’m just enjoying a very positive outlook on life. I’m more conscious of what I eat (European food is so much healthier than American food), and I guess more conscious in general.

By the way, there’s a pattern in our experiences when we take these trips. Melvin has his talks, and usually it goes great and he meets new great people, and learns things from them. In the meantime, I have experiences that seem to have a spiritual nature, that have a big impact on my life. So then together we grow in leaps and bounds.

Here is what I experienced and learned from our trip to Belgium.

Getting there was an adventure. A friend of ours had sent us a map of some interesting places to see in Brussels when we arrived there. So we decided to do that and meet our hosts at the end of the little tour. What we didn’t think about was we would be bringing our luggage with us on this walk. At least there was one less bag to carry, it was my clothes, and it missed the plane, and was due to arrive at our hotel the next day. When we got to the end of our walk, we were a block away from where our hosts were waiting for us, and missed them. We forgot the information back at home, and thought it was the square by the big radio tower, but it was the street. Anyway, then our friend who told us of the places to see, came and saved the day, and took us to our hotel in Liege. So at the end of the day, we remembered all the great things we saw, the people who helped us along the way, like gifts from God, and the adventure of it all.

This is because in the last year or two, Melvin and I have discovered God’s sense of humor. No, He’s not laughing at us, He’s teaching us to laugh. It’s important to laugh, and in this we learn to recognize it, and in turn recognize when it’s not God, or the Universe. By the way, this is more evidence that the Universe is conscious. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about, it’s my favorite story to tell. Coming home from our last trip to Florida, we were planning to visit the Savannah Lighthouse in Georgia. We got there on a Tuesday. When we get there we find, very prominently posted, more than even the name of the lighthouse, were signs that said “Closed on Tuesdays”! What’s so special about Tuesday? Must be “The Morses Visit Savannah” day. This kind of thing happens to us all the time, especially when it comes to visiting lighthouses, or another favorite thing for us to visit is old Forts. This happened to us in Belgium too. And even this time I predicted it. We went to visit this Fortress, I think it was in Wallonia. It was a long climb up the hill, pushing a stroller with Melody too. When we were almost to the top, I said, “Wouldn’t it be funny, after we came all this way, for it to be closed?” And it was. But we had a great time too, we collected a bunch of pretty fall leaves, and had a great talk with our new friends. So anyway, I’ve learned a lot about the personality of the Universe. I call it humor but it’s like a lovable irony, if that makes any sense?

So anyway, I feel I have to mention this, I also met someone, I felt was a spiritual twin, or something like that. You know who you are, and I think your mom might have told you also. It was the strangest thing. The moment our eyes met I recognized her. And it seemed like she recognized me. By the way, we’ve never spoke. Here’s another funny coincidence too. I didn’t know at the time she was the daughter of a couple Melvin and I met and went out on a trip with. I told her mom all about this strange encounter, I don’t even know how the subject was brought up. Then I we went to meet her daughter, and there she was!! Anyway she’s 18 I think, and I’ve never been to Belgium before, and never to Europe until a couple years ago. And I recognized her, exactly how she looked right then, but at the same time I had a vision of her being born. I think I met her just before she was born, during a near death experience I had. I think I would have been about 17 when she was born. I may have nearly died then, I’d rather not explain how, as that was a very low time in my life. But I never knew or remembered until I met this girl.

Now that reminds me, someone has asked about the spiritual experience I was talking about in the previous post. By the way I’ve had many spiritual experiences. But when I was 7 I know I had a near death experience. I nearly drowned in a lake. My best friend and I were playing at the point where our feet could barely touch and we couldn’t really swim that well, but we were daring eachother to go further. So somehow we got too deep and started to drown. I haven’t talked to her since I remembered this, but I’m thinking about contacting her again. Anyway, someone came and carried us out. It was a big tall woman, I thought she was a lifeguard, but now that I think about it, if it was, there would have been a big emergency and everything. I know I was unconscious at some point, so I would think there would be CPR and everything, but there wasn’t. I just woke up hanging over the shoulder of this woman, and my friend on the other shoulder. She took me over to a blanket on the hill, I can’t remember if it was mine or not, but she told me to lie down hill and let the water come out, and it did, it just ran out of my mouth. So that’s it, that’s all that I remember. I know that the relationship changed with my friend. We were still friends, but we played differently.

What happened while I was unconscious I can’t remember. I only remember the light. The wonderful, beautiful, warm peaceful light. I remember it when I see the sun glistening on the surface of the water. I know I’m not just remembering the sun shining on the water, because that would be a negative memory. I did have a fear of swimming for a long time, but I still loved to sit in the bath, or kiddie pool. I have a picture, I’m going to see if I can find it, I think it looks like the light I saw, it looks like heaven opening up above me.

Anyway, I think this post is getting really long now and I should finish. Thanks for reading!
