A List of Unusual Deaths

I am constantly amazed at how easy it is to be killed in this world. I have seen so many people in my life die in car accidents, from old age, personal accidents and such.

Yet in my own case, I seem to have a really hard time dying or staying dead. When I was four, a neighborhood bully who thought I had hurt his younger brother jumped off a garage roof onto my back and stomped me, and then picked me up by the neck with both hands and held me until I passed out. He threw me to the ground when he thought I was dead, and left. I was in blackness for a bit, and then woke up, and dusted myself off and went in my house.

At age 26, I developed a bad case of rheaumatic fever when visiting my grandparents, and had a fever for three days at 105. At one point, I saw a grey wall of mist appear in the corner of my room, and sweep down to my body, starting with my feet. I lost feeling as the grey mist swept over me, and it felt like I was getting shorter and shorter.

When it approached my heart, I heard a voice in my head that said I would die if it reached my heart.

I could not speak but prayed in my mind to Jesus as I lost consciousness, and felt myself come apart, with memories tearing away from me like shattering glass shards. I continued to pray, and offered my life to God if he would let me live. I did, and the fever broke, and I came back.

After that time, I survived a lightning strike so close I could not see, two electric shocks when doing carpentry, and a suffocation from a mistake from a dentist when he was using laughing gas.

I cannot explain it, but I seem to hae really ticked death off.

Fools, there is no such thing as death. Our body merely a capsule or vessel through which our infinite energy manifests and expresses itself in this limiting three-dimensional universe.

Death as we know it is simply a model which we created using our minds to explain the phenomenon of this capsule(our bodies) no longer functioning. Remember, our perception is primarily based on objects that reflect light. Imagine a very clean window or transparent object that does not reflect nor bend light...your eyes can not perceive it as it does not reflect anything for you sight to quantify. Therefore you now need to invoke your sense of touch to perceive it, but what if the atomic matter of that window or object was not dense enough to trigger a change in your sensory system....would that object not exist?

There is no death, only infinity.

A young girl (25-ish) in our running group was an accomplished cyclist, runner & triathlete who frequently finished in the winning circle at races. She had also recently been awarded her PhD in psychology. Standing on a street corner with her bicycle after a ride one day, she was killed instantly when a crane working on a building project nearby toppled & the extension landed on top of her. Sometimes your number is up no matter what.

When speaking of unusual deaths, I think that the late Baltimore Oriole's pitcher, Steve Bechler should be mentioned. The Chinese herb, Ma Huang (Ephedra), is extremely effective in relieving asthma, inducing diaphoresis (sweating), and releasing cold and flu symptoms. However, the above only applies with patients whose constitutions are strong (discernable by a qualified Oriental medical doctor), who feels cold with chills, and who don't sweat easily. Its use is completely contraindicated in all other cases! Now what's intereresting is that it also speeds up metabolism, improves performance, and can induce weight loss as well. But, as I said above, the caveat is that it must be used only as indicated. WHEN USED INAPPROPRIATELY, IT CAN BE FATAL, as Steve Bechler discovered. That is the reason why this wonderful effective herb is now illegal, except for practitioners of Oriental medicine. Please never consider using it, except as part of a prescription written by a licensed Chinese medical doctor. And don't expect him to include it in a formula to lose weight!

My sister just died at age 64 when she went out to pick berries on her farm. Apperently she felt dizzy and lay down on the grass and never got up again, Her father's anurism burst when he tried to real in a large salmon. so they both died doing what they enjoied. I told her not to eat so much bread. "But it is free at the food bank." right but now who is going to eat all that produce frome the second garden plot you planted this year? I should not say that on Mecola.com I will be fludded with volenteers.

Interesting you should post this now. I just got back from burying my parents. Both my parents died within 45 minutes of each other, 300 miles apart. Divorced for 35 years. Each with completely seperate lives. Each died of different things. Both in their 70's. I was at my mum's bedside when I got the call about my Dad. She died within minutes of my receiving that call. The local news per thought it was so unusual, they put their obit's on the city page. Did I mention they were also born on the same day? There is no question there was a little divine intervention here.

I sometimes ask people 'What is the opposite of Life?' and of course, most people say death, but really, birth is the opposite of death, and Life has no opposite, ever expanding into the realms of the Limitless Light, (unless of course you willingly want nothing to do with it) beyond the beliefs, doubts, conjecture and scientific instruments of 'modern' man. The medicine woman and the shaman knew this 800,000 years ago.

Especially Herod and his grandson. Right Uncle Russ, I wonder if that was the cause of the insanity in the family.

So, would these weird actuarial deaths listed have been less the case with EFT, metabolic typing, regular low impact exercise, or good wholesome unprocessed food?
