Well, I'm not sure if this counts, as it doesn't seem to necessarily go along with Christian beliefs, but it's still something spiritual I've experienced: I remember dying from a previous life. That is, I remember what it feels like to die, to have my physical body dying around me while my spirit leaves it.
please tell us. I'd really like to hear about it
Okay...well, first off, I have no real recollection of anything to do with that previous life--simply the death. I remember seeing a blur of autumn trees and a clear blue sky above me, which makes me think I was lying down outside as I died. But it's the feeling of death I remember the most. It's kind of hard to describe. My five senses started to wane, first smell and taste, then hearing, then sight and finally touch...all rather in quick succession, too. Once everything went dark, it was almost as if my soul expanded out of me...like I had been trapped in cramped quarters for far too long and had forgotten what it felt like to be fully and properly stretched out. It sort of felt like a cubic matrix of points that are all equidistant from eachother, but all expand their distance from one another...if that makes any sense to anyone. I wish I had a graphic to show what it feels like, because I think that'd be much easier. In any case, it's remarkable to feel such a thing...to remember such a thing. I don't really remember much of anything after that, either--only a feeling of knowing that I was dead and that I was headed for some new place that would be as great and grand and spectacular an adventure as that life ever was...perhaps even moreso.
