Still not willing to spill any of that knowledge the forest folk dropped on you, eh OP?

How rude.

I'm sorry Athene. It was rude of me.
It's something kept personal and difficult to talk about.
I will continue.

　

The memory from when young was sitting down playing in the grass when a younger little girl walked up to me and stared at me. When I looked at her she said something to me. I did not understand the words she said (it was not English) but I knew it was a question.

I was quite shocked and didn't say anything back. I just didn't understand. Then she held out her hand offering me a bun (was the shape of a hotdog bun). I took it and had a bite.

When I swallowed I felt it go through my whole body like every particle of me became excited. As I lifted my mouth for another bite the piece I had eaten was returning to the bun so I couldn't finish it. I had more bites with massive rushes each time and gave it back. We shared it having turns eating it.

The rushes I felt could be felt again while growing up by thinking of that event. A feeling attached to that memory. I can still feel it.

　

I said things got strange after talking to people. That started when sitting under a tree in this forest place and hearing crashing in the bushes coming towards me. I jumped up and looked to see what it was. I then saw the only familiar face I've seen there. A good friend of mine smiling making his way towards me. He had died couple of years earlier.

We talked for a long time and I eventually asked him "Do you know?" meaning if he knew he is dead. He said "Yeah I know. But I am happy".

Before I left back to reality I asked how can I know if this is real. He thought for a moment and said one word "Adele" (that's how I feel its spelt). Hasn't made much sense to me.

　

After that was when I saw an old woman sitting in the trees so I went up to her and said hello.

She looked surprised and said something to me in a couple of words I didn't understand. Not English. Got the first word "Arash" (that's how I feel its spelt) and didn't catch the second part. I had the feeling it was asking about me. And I said what? then a thought came to me and I said "Shaman?". She then smiled and I said "I don't think so" not in a doubting way but as a way of saying no I'm not. Then I quickly turned away and left.

　

What happened next was I got attacked.
Do you want to hear about it?

Did you miss this?

It is real in the sense that she's actually experiencing it. The brain scans show that she's going through what she's claiming. But that doesn't mean that her "soul" is getting out of her body. This is not an astral trip, like those described by mystics. There's no paranormal activity of any kind.

From the same study.

No. I didn't miss that.

You understand that this notion is ridiculous, right...that's why you're distancing yourself from it now, yes?

Yes.
Because of my belief.
These experiences did change me from having absolutely no opinion, to skeptic, to believer in God.
