On THREE (3) separate occasions I was involved in what the medical profession described as near-death experiences, in that the said medical profession had every expectation that I was about to die and had no available explanation for why I did not die.
At NO time during any of those events did I see any lights, either approaching or leading from me towards some distant point.
This may be related to the fact that during each of those events I had no personal feeling/belief that I was about to die. In fact, in each event I was aware of a very strong conviction that I was NOT going to die - in spite of the extremely serious and concerted efforts to secure my demise by multiple actors during two of those events.
On one occasion I did see a bright white light approaching me at a rapid speed. That happened when I was sheltering from a severe rainstorm in a railroad tunnel. The light was from what I learned was an oncoming train, which missed me by a a significant margin - if you consider less than 20 feet a significant margin after running 20 yards.
I am no longer willing to voluntarily place myself in any position where others actively seek to effect my rapid demise, nor do I engage in self-directed activities that carry a high probability of resulting in my rapid demise. Call me reluctant, if you wish. My feelings will not be hurt if you do.
One other factor that may be influencing my lack of seeing the light is that I have what is commonly referred to as the non-existence of any sense of spirituality or religiosity. It does hamper my ability to curse, but otherwise does not seem to effect me. Perhaps it does relate to being unable to see the light. YMMV.
Does spirituality or religiosity play a part in werewoolf's wife's lifestyle? Does it play any part in Dr. Strassman's study?
In the mean time, werewolf needs a really good alibi after discussing the O2 hose.
stay safe.
