Living An Alternate Reality During A Coma - Paul Evans | Modern Wisdom Podcast 258 

i was in a medically induced coma for about 2 months as well, and on ECMO. I had th most intense "dreams" while i was in a coma. i travelled into the future, weird stuff was happening. Some of the stuff i dreamt about ended up being true when i woke up. Which makes it weird. Anyway... how are your lungs....do you have any lung damage from the covid?

@Wind Glitch I get winded a little bit easier than I used to but that's really about it

Sounds exciting. Why didn't you continue to "seek"? I've recently watched videos by Suzanne griesmann about talking to our spirit guides. It's all very interesting

@@puzzletherapy4u hello Diane yes experiencing the phenomena was exciting and interesting subject matter which by contrast to the freedom we all seek conscious or not, is the point I was trying to make. that the very pursuit of these activities can be just another distraction from the 'seeking' perspective which the mind loves. and there is nothing wrong in it either. once I had my awakening the phenomena fell away naturally and so did, over time my interest in it. the seeking that I speak of is the universal impulse a calling if you will to be free of trying to become and belong. once you have an awakening the seeking impulse leaves you...you have 'come home' so to speak job done if you will.:)

@@ollieandoreo6881 from someone just getting into spirituality and meditating, and id like to preface that i know its different for everybody, but if you dont mind i would love to know how you achieved such a state of realization, I love hearing peoples stories! Thanks

@@PsiPepe Hi! the paradox is that you don't achieve realisation, the 'seeing' of ones true nature comes by grace you already are that which you are seeking, which is the divine joke. the impulse for realisation is the deep desire to be free of trying to become someone and holding life together and the relief at recognising that you are not what you believed yourself to be. in the recognition of truth this is simply consciousness seeing itself. and the idea of you starts to fall by the way side. for a long time I thought that I would become enlightened, if I listened enough or watched enough or read enough of course none of this is wrong its just a part of the impulse to find your true nature. in my initial phase of seeking I just wanted to not suffer which was essentially about the avoidance of truth and wanting a better version of life via spirituality. then I moved into a deeper genuine phase of self enquiry where I no longer wanted to avoid the suffering. then I became genuinely exhausted with seeking I called a lady who was very much awake and she said, at the end of chat.."and it doesnt matter if it (realisation ) never happens' I got off the phone absolutely devastated (my ego) at the thought that it would not happen. then I immediately felt enormous relief and burst out laughing as what had been exposed was the subtle ego still needing to achieve enlightenment. then there were many moments of recognition of truth one such moment was falling down the stairs as I mentioned. the me I thought I was chasing and trying to improve just 'left me' over time filling up with a natural joy and contentment that continues to grow. you are right it is different for everyone. I tried things like self enquiry, neti neti, also try to find that which is not a thing you too have this impulse to find the heart you were born with.....:)

How to figure that out?

@@trumurray8033 what the time span was the same as reality life span to me, birthdays special occasions ect.. and when you die that moment you realise there is nothing more is both scary and kind of comforting knowing I live on in my children. The actual dying part was horrific I was locked in my body hearing them charge the defib because they just got a pulse and then felt like I'd been hit in the chest my Mike Tyson tied to the front of a train in my chest a big flash and pain, I wouldn't recommend it for a pastime,your body does everything it can to make it as painless as possible but I fought what I could and they packed me in ice, the 3rd time I've died and I know between a pixie vision and me departing my body, as much as I wanted to see people who I've lost I'm afraid it's just not reality, like I said wanting something isn't truth it's wanting only and you will make things fit how you want them and convince yourself that your right,

@@theatheisthammer wow I've gotta alot to think about. I've been watching videos about people who can force their soul to leave their body and go somewhere in the spirit world and then come back to their body. They also talk to their spirit guides. They say our soul lives on for eternity. It's just here on earth for a short time having an experience as a human to learn about love. If you aren't learning about love then your experience when you die will be much more negative. Why on earth have you died 3 times?

@@puzzletherapy4u it's all apart of how your brain deals with things just like a dream, you don't leave your body, it's a chemical reaction, and I've had most of my cardiovascular system replaced with metal and Dacron my heart my aortic arch, aortic route entire lower aorta, ect.. and other parts, I have a genetic condition, I'd like there to be something after death see loved ones gone, but all we have is this brief time to experience things, some people start with WANTING there to be something more, and that clouds their judgement, some people want humans to be special which clouds aswell, I did some hard research and for all the out of body experiences saying they looked down on their body, when asked to describe things that they could not see like the roof of the building they failed, it's the same as when you take strong LSD your brain gets crosstalk, at the end of the day if it makes you feel good to believe in a soul then that's your choice, all I can offer is what happened to me 3 times, in total,

​@@puzzletherapy4u true. our body is nothing more than a vessel for this experience here on earth. I knew I wasn't alone in my thoughts on this subject

@John Forte Yeah you learn to deal with it eventually. A father leaving the family is a whole different beast to deal with too.

@John Forte also, as the man goes on to say all adversity reinforces you. All the bullshit you beat your way through helps you in the end.

I would imagine so

Never go back to the Singaporean Carpet Store

Never get a social security number

I haven’t had in this exact experience but seeing this made me very emotional because I have had similar experiences. I had severe trauma a few years ago and I started having really bad PTSD derealization and depersonalization. I tried a bunch of things to heal and nothing really helped me. I felt like my old life was a dream and somehow I knew that she was taking a pill like an antidepressant wasn’t the answer I thought so completely off I couldn’t put my finger on it. I eventually decided to try I will ask her and during the trip I was able to go back to the time when I was happy and when I say I really went back like I really want it back. I don’t know how to explain it it’s like I was back in my physical body walking around in my old apartment it was crazy. I’ve never been one to like psychedelics because I always valued the feeling of being in reality and anything beyond that scares me. The only reason I took the Ayahuasca was because every other healing modality had failed me and I was absolutely miserable so I figured I didn’t have anything to lose. The experience of going back in time not just in my mind but like physically traveling back I know some people don’t believe in things like that but I’m telling you I went back in time and then coming back to my new reality where I felt like a completely different person it was hard. That wasn’t even the worst part. About two years after taking the Ayahuasca I was watching TV one night not on any drugs or anything very depressed as always and one moment I was here and one moment I was somewhere else. I couldn’t tell you how long I was gone but I can tell you that it was more real than any day that I’ve lived on this earth in the last five years. I had the same physical body that I have in this reality and I was running through a field and forest. For the first time since the trauma happened I felt fully alive fully and my body completely like myself happy at peace content and not confused. Because I had the same body I assume it was an alternate reality and to be honest having that experience made me think that the reason I have felt so off lately is because I left the original reality that I was in when the trauma happened like my soul shifted to a different body and a parallel timeline. I’ve heard people talk about out of body experiences and things of that nature and in a spiritual as I am I still didn’t believe it until I experienced it myself There is no doubt in my mind that I was in some other reality and it was more real than here. It’s really hard when you have that kind of experience and feel very positive come back to your body in a reality that does not feel real or feels fake compared to the other one. So I can fully relate to you on that Front. I can’t even imagine having more of a detailed experience and how difficult that must be to grieve something and not know if you can ever get back to it. I think that’s my biggest fear in life is that I’ll never get back to that place so I won’t know how to get back there. And when you’ve been to hellish dimensions that can also bring PTSD and then the fear becomes less about never getting to where you want to be and more about never going back to that space. I told myself I would never mess with psychedelics but desperate times call for desperate measures and I want again figured what do I have to lose and took Ketamine in a clinical setting for PTSD recently. As soon as the drug started going into me my perception of time was altered so that I felt that I had always been there sitting in that chair taking the ketamine and that was all the existence I’ve ever known. I was convinced I was in hell even though I knew logically it was just the drugs it’s still a very scary experience and not many people can relate to these kinds of things so I wanted to comment because your comment made me feel less alone.❤

Sorry I have a hard time typing so I used voice to text and it left out a huge part of my story about taking ayahuasca and half of it doesn’t make sense. I would retype it but I don’t have the energy but I think the important parts are there lol

A coma is much different than your drug trips...smh
