Hello and welcome to the site. I hope that you enjoy your stay here. The "other side", hm? I have had quite a few experiences with it. Both of my grandparents' houses were haunted.
I have had paranormal incounters most of my life from seeing dead people to haunted houses.in fact I saw a spirit just a few days ago in a clients basement. I have had a oobe when I died for 6 minutes a few years back.
Sorry ambreg but do you mind if I ask what conditions you died in and if you experienced any lasting after effects? I only ask because the maximum resuscitation period for the human bodies is considered 4 minutes and being 50% longer I wouldnt normally expect resuscitation possible unless there is some particular circumstance. You may also find that you were probably not completely dead, although defined as clinically dead there are many tests that can confirm life during this stage (theyre not used because there isnt time quite frankly) however to all intents and purposes the body is completely shut down and incapable of restoring its normal functions without aid (sorry I had a bit of a science moment then that I had to put in)
As for my personal experiences I havent had many and certainly none that couldnt be explained by any other means so relatively Im fairly inexperienced in that field.
I was wondering the same thing. When I was in Basic Training, my heart stopped due to a illness I contracted from one of the immunization shots they gave me, and I was dead for 1 minute and 47 seconds. While to most people that is not much time, what happened during that time was what changed my entire belief structure. I don't talk about what happened because I consider it something very personal, and that the secrets of death should only been learned when you cross the threshold to the other side.
I had a heart attack at work (a nursing home) I had CPR performed for 41/2 minutes after they found me face down in a patients room. I was with out a pulse and not breathing before the used an automatic defib. Machine on me to restart my heart. Then once again in the ambulance. Lasting effects? Mostly night terrors about the episode. And have a lot of "visions and dreams of people I have never stood face to face with including my mentor on this site. But mostly nightmares.
I can see hear talk and channel spirits! I can also see aura of people I've known for awhile. I can also tell what someone's life has been like just by touching them or seeing a current pic of them. (I don't touch people if I'm not wearing some type of clothing over my skin and if they do touch me I smack them!(I don't like to be touched and can't be touched!))!!!
