I was talking to an undertaker in Norfolk, VA. maybe 25 years ago. During the conversation, I asked if he had ever had someone come back to life.

He answered sort of matter of factly, that they had one come back to life just the week before. He said they called an ambulance and he lived for a few more days before dying for good.

That really surprised me.

It happened to me in 1988 when I had meningitis. I denied the reality of the experience for several years until I could no longer deny the changes to me. Was a life changing experience as the ego gets diminished instantly and you become aware that there is a much better place than being here in a physical body.

I got depressed after the experience as I missed that complete feeling of being with God that I had to give up to return. I lost all fear of death. Actually welcomed death for a while till I realized that you can have that same relationship with God while you are here in a physical body.

Life is the stage for the experiences necessary for the soul to grow.

I can't go into the particulars but there is a phenomenon where the brain cell energy supply switches from an O₂ to an 'alcohol/sugar' based generation, sustaining the human brain for sometimes remarkably longer periods, like this man's thirty minutes. When the sugar based energy runs out though, unless there is a switch back tot he oxy based system, then death is final.
