AFTER DRIVING 4 HRS BACK HOME FROM HER FUNERAL, I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION FROM A DRIVER WHO WAS DRIVING IN THE WRONG LANE. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I VEERED OUT OF HIS WAY. WE HAD BOTH STOPPED AND I FELT I KNEW THIS PERSON. HE FELT THE SAME. WE EXCHANGED #S AND WENT ON OUR WAY. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME, ALSO STOPPED AND TOLD ME HE SAW THE WHOLE THING AND HAD NO IDEA HOW I PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT. (MAYBE IT WAS FROM ABOVE? )

  WITH IN AN HR. OF ARRIVING HOME, AND STILL SHAKEN FROM THE PREVENTED ACCIDENT, THE PHONE RANG. AS I PICKED IT UP THERE WAS STATIC ON THE LINE. IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER TALKING IN A LANGUAGE I HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, YET I UNDERSTOOD WHAT SHE WAS TELLING ME. SHE WAS LETTING ME KNOW THAT SHE WAS WITH GOD ( SHE WAS VERY SPIRITUAL IN HER LIFETIME) THAT SHE WAS HAPPY AND FOR ME NOT TO GRIEVE FOR HER BUT BE THANKFUL SHE IS HAPPY. SHE TALKED FOR ABOUT  30 SECONDS TELLING THAT SHE LOVED ME SO MUCH AND ALSO SAVED ME FROM THIS ACCIDENT. I WAS SO FRIGHTENED THAT I HAD TO HANG UP. AFTER CALMING DOWN, MY GRIEF LEFT, NEVER TO APPEAR AGAIN . I KNEW SHE WAS IN A HAPPY PLACE. I FELT IT.

Was this experience difficult to express in words?

Yes

AS A 22 YR OLD IT WAS DIFFICULT TO EXPRESS. I WAS VERY FRIGHTENED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, YET, EXHILARATED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN, AND TO ME. I FELT VERY BLESSED. AS A YOUNG PERSON I COULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT AS I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE ME. I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED THERE WAS NO DOUBT EVEN AT THAT AGE.. NOW AS I AM OLDER, I UNDERSTAND MORE AND SEE THIS WAS AN EXPERIENCE ONE CAN NOT EXPLAIN. BUT BELIEVE? YES, I BELIEVE.

Yes    THERE

ARE A LOT OF THINGS WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND IN LIFE. WE DO NOT USE BUT A SMALL PART OF OUR BRAIN.

MORE ABOUT THAT IN MY NEXT QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT WHEN MY FATHER DIED.

Death Compacts are when two or more living people promise among themselves that whoever dies first will try to contact the other(s).  Have you ever made such a compact?

Yes

I WOULD TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST TO PROVE IT.

IN TIME MY "ALL KNOWING" GREW. I FELT I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I DEVELOPED LATER AN AWARENESS OF OTHER PEOPLE AND WHAT THEY FELT INSIDE. I FELT THEIR PAIN, THEIR PAST, THEIR HURTS.

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?         

Yes

YES I DID. ALL THREE TIMES. NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE BUT  IT WAS SORT OF A TRANCE WHEN IT HAPPENED. AND SO QUICK. IT WAS OVER BEFORE ONE KNEW IT HAPPENED. THEN ONE NEEDED TO THINK FOR A MINUTE AS TO WHAT EXACTLY JUST HAD HAPPENED. IT WAS A "STUNNED" FEELING.
