In his book, Felos described an incident that occurred while he was engaged in a “right-to-die” case, very involved in the hospice movement and traveling by plane.Felos wrote that he "wonder[ed] what it would be like to die right now” and “indulged the thought by imagining the plane starting to lose it trajectory and descend.”
So what happened?
The plane lost its trajectory and descended!
Creating chaos in the cabin as people began to realize the plane was going to crash, Felos wrote.
“Needless to say, the juxtaposition of my imagined death and the possibility of a real demise heightened for me my different reactions. I assure you, my hubris in assuming that I would meet a life-ending crash with equanimity was not lost on me," Felos added.
As Felos told it, the pilot of the plane later told the passengers that an unexplained problem with the auto pilot caused the momentary descent.
And:
“At that instant a clear, distinctly independent and slightly stern voice said to [him], ‘Be careful what you think. You are more powerful than you realize.’ In quick succession [Felos] was startled, humbled and blessed by God’s admonishment.”
