Killed for wearing a headscarf

[Cliffy]

Yeah, once the heart stops pumping oxygen carrying blood to the brain, I am sure that a person can experience all kinds of neat things. Must be something like a tour on flight # 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine.

I have read a lot of medical and psychological explanations of what might have happened during that "time out" but none of it satisfies my experience of it. The feeling of absolute calm, the warmth and sense of absolute well being while by body lay on ice all busted up.

Or the sensation of hovering over it, looking at it from what seemed like ten feet above it, watching people trying to revive me, some standing around agitated by panic, concern and fear. I was aware that my body was in pain but I could not feel it. I knew that there were many broken bones and internal damage and bleeding but I was detached emotionally to whether or not I lived through it.

Nobody who has not experienced it can relate, but many I have met who have been through it know exactly what I am talking about.

Wow! That's pretty wild Cliffy! I wondered what that key question was all about. Weird huh? Thanks for sharing! Love the new avatar btw.

The avatar serves as a logo for my business, which is in limbo right now. The coyote is actually a drawing I did and I added it over the moon to create the logo. It is a tribute to my insanity.

I can understand that. It's pretty tough to describe euphoria.

That's a pretty high ceiling they have there then. Most ceilings are maybe 8 feet. But, perhaps in your euphoria you were like superman with x-ray vision and could see through ceilings and walls.

Shock does that. Shock is a body's defense against that sort of trauma.

I can imagine you're right.
