    Welcome Mari,

    i touched the subject of near death experience briefly, it was in a
    discussion in january called the <Metaphysics of quality time>, I do not
    recall it was a subject that set of any fire, here's the date and the thread
    from my personal archive i am too lazy to look it up, you can check it in
    the archives if you want to; ''Metaphysics of quality time''Thu Jan 17 2002

    Ps: I just heard Sam had a mystical experience, think he is the only one
    here.
