My turning point was due to people who have been clinically dead and were resuscitated, as well are recovery of terminally ill that should not have survived but did and most with very few side effects from their injury or illness.
I'm not here to sway opinions but to hear different beliefs and ask questions.
I'm always interested in talking to people that have had near death experiences, and especially if they were considered clinically dead.
In 1987, I was caught in an explosion. I was told later than I had 'clinically died' for several seconds during surgery - no heartbeat, no breathing (it was emergency surgery, so I can't make claims about brain function).
No tunnel with a light at the end, no white robed figures - nothing. I remember being in the street where the explosion took place, and then I woke up in hospital a week later. Nothing in between.
I think that fits in rather neatly with the vast majority of perithanatic experiences.

This.
Had a rather bad motorcycle accident.
My heart stopped for somewhere close to two minutes. Until that point I didn't even know I had a weak heart.
No tunnels, no heaven or hell. No Valhalla (disappointed!), not even a visit to Olympus.
Only thing I got out of it was a rather obvious scar on my hip and a terrified paramedic that I yelled at.
A lot!
