I died on the operating table... I saw what happens after death
Daily Mail ^ | March 26 | By ELLEN COUGHLAN FOR MAILONLINE

A woman claimed that she died on the operating table during brain surgery and watched surgeons as they drilled through her skull from above her body.

Pam Reynolds Lowery, from Atlanta, Georgia, who passed away in 2010, previously revealed that she had a near-death experience during a brain operation performed by Robert F. Spetzler at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona in 1991.

Pam, who was 35 at the time, reported a series of incredible experiences while she was technically 'dead', including meeting relatives who had passed away and not wanting to return to her own body.

You could live with pancreatitis.

.

Yes you can. I did. Didn’t really want to at the peak of it.
Most pain I’ve ever experienced. Doubled over in pain on the examination room floor.
The yellow vomit was a stunning color, though.
Don’t wanna do that again. No way.

I remember many years ago seeing a story on The 700 Club about a NDE, but from a different angle. A lady said she’d died and found herself falling down into a deep, dark chasm. She became terrified because she knew it was Hell. As her terror grew she heard a voice telling her to call on Him. She did and was pulled back up. She knew Jesus had saved her, it wasn’t her time, but she was allowed to see where she was heading. It was very powerful.

As a kid back in 1970 I had my tonsils removed. They put me under with ether and got to work. I heard the medical team talking about the Hinsdale High School’s football season and other topics the entire time. When I was in the recovery room I told the doc that I was aware during the surgery and he said it was impossible. Until I told him what they were talking about.

This podcast on near death experiences is worth your time:

D.L. Moody’s account of dying twice and seeing loved ones is recorded in his biography “Moody”.

I don’t know how you got anything like that out of what I wrote. I explained my position pretty clearly on the issue

Maybe Lazarus thought that what happened in his experience, was something that it wasn’t his place to share with others. Some things are beyond our human ability to describe. If he spent that much time in “the great beyond” after he passed, it could be that he knows what he saw but he wasn’t ready to share what he saw. Just something I’ve pondered over the years.

Christian history has more than a few who were “vouchsafed a vision of hell” without necessarily implying that the person experiencing it was headed that direction.

I would have gone and haunted a couple people real quick before returning just to say I did it!

Correct. You don't think any NDEs are spiritual in nature. They sure look that way to most other people.

Very cool story—I would have taunted the surgeon first, something like this.

“The mind can not survive except inside the brain, correct?”

He would probably say yes.

“That means I could not possibly know what classical music you were playing during the operation, correct?”

He would probably say yes.

“If I told you what classical music you were playing would that change your mind?”

He would probably say no.

“OK. Then I won’t waste both of our times talking about (name of classical music) since it will obviously serve no purpose.”

Lol.

I’ve had several NDE’S, the first in 1988.

The pain causes a person to step out of their body.

I’ve studied this topic in detail for over 25 years, personally interviewing most of the researchers and attending/presenting conferences on the subject.

The most popular group is IANDS, The International Association of Near Death Studies.

Some of those who claim to have had an NDE actually had an ego rescue event. They have convinced themselves it was an NDE.

The unique thing about my NDE was that I never fully returned to my body, straddling the fence between perceived realities.

Any person can achieve the same results (expanding consciousness beyond their physical body) with extensive meditation.

🙏

Lazarus never speaks in the Bible—not before, during, or after his resurrection. There’s no record of him saying anything to anyone. He’s completely silent. Mute.

When it happened to me I was deep inside the hospital ICU in an induced coma.

I “left” the hospital to visit my friends in their dreams to tell them either I would survive but if not I was saying goodbye. (It was nighttime).

What bothered me was it was raining, not hard, kind of a drizzle, no thunderstorms, but I was getting wet.

Months later I looked at what the weather was like that evening. Light showers.

Your theory makes a lot of sense. The brain is constantly active which is why we dream when we are sleeping. I know when I am going through a lot of stress in my life, I can dream very vividly.

So the out of body experiences described could be related to dreaming.

Now when I was very young, probably 4 or 5 years old, I remember having a "dream" where I was floating in my bedroom near the ceiling and could see myself in the bed down below. I slowly floated down towards my body on the bed and then I "woke up". I still remember that dream clearly all these years later - or was it even a dream!
