I'm a very skeptical guy because I'm a rational scientist. Nevertheless I know the limit of Science: sometimes there are facts one can't deny though it isn't yet explained by Science.
For example, steam engines were fabricated and did work though the theory of heat was not yet explained until Sadi Carnot discovered it. Still nobody did say the steam engine didn't work at that time.
So if there are paranormal facts, one would be unscientific to discard them. Now there are facts and facts. For example Astrology predictions are difficult to consider as facts since they could be due to so called Barnum Effect.
I read Book on Near Death Experiences when I was young, but I had some difficult to believe in them because how can you trust someone who sells such a book: maybe he just invented the stories ? Though I couldn't discard totally these experiences as facts, I was still in a non-believer state.
It is until a few years only that I have met a few friends - so whom I knew well - who the kind of persons who would fear ridicule to tell such things:) - and who trust my intellectual honesty enough to dare telling me their personal story.
One was a friend who had been an Officer in the French Army. When he was a student in that Army he did have an accident when he plunged in the pool from several meters. He sank under the water and lost his consciousness. People of course arrived to save him. Meanwhile he saw himself as a "spirit" at a few meters above his inert body with all the people around it, hearing all their conversations.
I have since met some others, that's why today I think that there is something to consider seriously about so called Near Death Experiences.
In an next article, I will write about a scientific experience concerning that NDE phenomena.

I am pleased that more studies are being done on NDE's. There is so much that science is yet to discover in regard to states of consciousness. In particular the realisation that consciousness can be separated from the physical body. I too am a sceptic though not a scientist. I respect science for all it has to offer. I for one am into experiences and experiencing the non-physical is a passion of mine.
I look forward to your future writings.
Hi Hal,
Thanks for your testimonial. It confirms many many cases written in book but as I said what is interesting is to get our very own testimonies from People we really know and who are so more trustable. So you have your own testimonies too like me.
Jewels,
I'm happy you are among the people who like rationality but not false rigor of denying everything. For one of the greatest scientists of 20th century Henri Poincare ( http://hubpages.com/hub/Henri_Poincare ) said:
"To doubt everything, or, to believe everything, are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection."
For the next article, maybe you have to wait for next week end ... because my father just died - that's the very reason I had made this article - and I have to rest my mind.
Sorry for your loss. My father is my best friend. There are no words.
Interesting item. I had a similar thing happen to me and its really quite scary.
Love your hubs- they are so interesting. I have always been interested in paranormal experiences, and also read many books on the phenomenom when I was a kid. Keep them coming!
Sorry for your loss. If you want an indepth piece of writing on the subject of death, try Death the Great Journey by Dr Samuel Sagan.

It's a Knowledge Track, so it's more comprehensive than a book and contains CD's as well as written material. It will answer many questions.
Thanks you all for your support. I will come back soon and write again.
these are the facts: we exist. other life forms exist. all of this life exists in a certain place. yet, the origins of this existence and this place (the universe) is totally mysterious, from an empiracle point of view. therefore, to deny the metaphysical, or supernatural, is a denial based on personal bias, not an open-minded desire to know whats actually true. the atheist rejects the supernatural because he cant perceive it with his finite senses. and i think thats very narrowminded. i reject evolution because it is a so-called natural hypothesis, but it is a hypothesis which contains supernatural elements, such as spontaneous generation. this is a contradiction. perfectly formed organisms have never been observed randomly morphing into totally different perfectly formed organisms.

I met a man who had clinically died on the operating table and stated he floated above himself and looked down. He was able to describe the exact position of the screws on the top end of the light fixtures, which was later confirmed.
