This evening i was given a second chance

[jack]

I made the foolish decision of going out too sea today with my father, without a life-jacket. We were at the very head of the estuary fishing for sea trout. We were both remarking about how torrential the current was, my only words to describe it were utterly ferocious. I decided to make the clever move of standing up at the front of the boat to take a leak. The boat was rocking back and forth as my mind was telling me how bad of an idea this was. Then an image flashed in my mind, it was me in the water battling against the current. But i just shrugged it off.

Seconds later a series of events unfolded that was way beyond anything id ever expected. I noticed that the anchor had come loose and the boat was being dragged away with the current, i looked back at my father and told him, he said something about me acting as a sail making the boat pull it away. That was the last memory I had of being in the boat. The next thing I was in the water, wearing 2 layers of tracksuit bottoms and one pair of jeans, 2 t-shirts and a heavy hoodie, along with my shoes, my first thought was "I really didnt think it would end like this, im a goner". I battled as much as i could to keep my head above water but the current was so terribly ferocious at that very moment that i knew there was no possible way of living through this. Not with all of them clothes, not with that current, not without a lifejacket, and not with the amount of time it was taking my father to start the boat let alone catch up with me. By the time my father started the engine, which he was right beside, id been swept 200 metres away from the boat, just like that, as quick as you'd click your fingers.

It was over, there was no way i could keep my head above water any longer, all of my energy was gone, my clothes and shoes were dragging me under, i was disorientated, and in shock, and about to go under 50 ft of water. But then, I shouted in my head, (along with "shhit shhit shhit") "I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!" And envisioned myself sitting in the boat soaking wet, but relieved. (it worked to get me in there, so i figured why not, its that or die lol..)
At that very moment my arms got lighter, the current started to loose its grip on me as if something was holding me steady at the top of the water, as if something was keeping me from going under. After what seemed like forever my father managed to get the boat close enough to me that i could grab his arm. I hugged that boat like a baby hugs its mother.

Im not sure how i feel right now. My dad brought me on to the beach so i could get dried off. I wanted to cry but i couldnt. But the urge was so intense, such a powerfull energy in my chest just bursting to get out. But still, ive not been able to cry, maybe later.

As i was feeling a bit crappy on the way down to the sea this afternoon, I had made a conscious decision to just surrender myself to the universe. Knowing that i was in fact surrendering to my own visualisations. And boy, did my own visions come bite me in the ass.. but then came to save my life. This comes at a point in my life where im just rediscovering the power of our own imagination when properly utilised. And this was God kicking the point. I killed myself with my own mind, and then saved myself.

Its that or.. i dunno. *scratches head*


Thoughts?


By the way, its good to see you guys again :peace:

[Elandiel BernElve]

Intruiging and good to have you with us, may new insights prove you well

[jack]

Believe me , its good to be here :)

Thanks for making a stranger feel good and dropping by to say hi. It was too close a call. Way to close. But very intriguing as you say.

[Eligos]

Never give up, never surrender...glad you made it mate!
Little things like this connect us with our inner strengths. You come out of this more in tune with life. ;-)

[Caren]

Hi Jack, what an amazing story! Thanks for sharing. How about your dad? It must have given him a terrible
scare.
caren

[jack]

Thanks eligos :) One things for certain, this is symbolic of the death of the old self, and rebirth of the new. And with the way it happened, wow.

This might be a double post because i clicked on it already but it didnt show up.

Yep caren, he was terrified. He told me afterwords that he thought for sure that was it, theres no way of staying up with all of them clothes and the speed of the current. Its a damned good thing that anchor had come loose otherwise by the time it would have taken for him to pull it, i'd have run out of steam.

[Bill Ryan]

Hi, Jack - many thanks to you for sharing that story with us.

Where are you? You sounded like you were in Ireland or Scotland...

I used to do a lot of mountaineering, sailing, skiing, kayaking, etc, and I've had several experiences a little like that. The following story I've never told publicly before.

Once, 27 years ago, I came out of my kayak on a pretty wild Norwegian river - having broken the cardinal rule of kayaking, which is never go on the river alone. Usually this would not be a big problem, but the water was so heavy, cold and fast (glacial meltwater) that I was powerless. I'd never been in water like that before. I kept being sucked under, and pretty soon I was becoming very tired indeed. A couple of miles downstream there was a killer waterfall about 100 feet high, so I knew I had a few minutes only to get out of there. But there was nothing I could do.

But like you, I made the decision to live. As the river rounded a bend, I swam as hard as I could towards the bank. Like the proverbial drowning man, I JUST grabbed hold of a bunch of grass... which held my weight. I dragged myself onto the bank like a great fish... and decided that was the end of my vacation.

Lesson learned... :)

[Anchor]

"I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!"" And envisioned myself sitting in the boat soaking wet, but relieved.

Jack,

That was the key.

Question: do you think you had a choice?

I had an experience like this - not quite so dramatic, but mine stretched over a few weeks, but it was potentially life ending all the same. I was a blubbery cry baby for a couple of months afterwards, so if that happens to you dont worry about it - it passes.

Best thing is to forget your "male" programming and have a few really good bawling sessions :)

Whatever - its pretty good to see you posting.

Hey Anchor!

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. I got myself in there, and i got myself out again. Of course.. I had a choice, there is always a choice. And thats one of the most powerful lessons i think im ever going to learn. Its why i decided to share this with you guys tonight. Because it wasnt just a simple case of almost drowning. There was a massive spiritual presence, a massive spiritual lesson that will be ingrained into my psyche until the day that the water actually does take me under. This is the second time ive almost drowned in the space of two weeks. Two weeks ago, to the day actually, i was out bodyboarding and went to far. The current started pulling me out to sea, and there was no way in hell i could swim back. But then like what happened today I made that decision to live, pushed my body under the water and dug my toes into the sand and went on the most excruciating march of my life back to dry land. The universe obviously felt as though the point had not been delivered at that point, but by the salt water in my stomach, and the sand still in my hair, that point has well and truly been drivin home today. The power of intent, the power of will, is miraculously powerful.

Thats what my pillow is in for as soon as i head off to bed ;)

[jack]

Hi Bill, Thanks for sharing your experience also.

Its probably one of the most frightening and helpless experiences anyone can encounter. When the force of nature makes us realise just how small and powerless we really are on a "physical level". But thats not true on a mental/spiritual level. Thats what i believe this was all about. "Great Spirit", as I like to call it, put me in a situation where i was utterly and completely helpless on a physical level, in essence doomed, in order to show me just how powerful us humans are on a mental/spiritual level. More powerful then we could ever be with just our physical bodies.

Talking about this is really bringing it all to the surface, and it feels pretty good to be finally making some sense of it. So thanks to everyone for your views and opinions, its helped lots.

[Baelsfire]

wow, you told that story well... reading that... i was there with you!! Glad to see you're still alive... OR ARE YOU!?!

I would say you are one lucky mofo...and you too Bill! But i don't know if i believe in luck! Near death experiences really can unlock latent strengths and abilities.. How do you feel now? :)

[jack]

Hey Baelsfire, thanks for droppin by.

How do i feel? Sandy. Need a shower but i left all of my energy in the water lol.

Apart from that, hmmm, a bit sore, like ive just spent a week in the gym. But much better after talking with you guys. Emotionally... Theres a child waiting to burst out and roll around on the floor crying his little eyes out.

[Beth]

Glad you're still with us Jack :grouphug:

I had an experience that defied all logic (and physics, lol). About 14 years ago I was driving in the mountains of Washington and I had a semi truck to my right and one was speeding up to the left of me and merging into me. I saw a women in a car ahead of me looking at me in her rear view mirror that could see I was in quite a pickle. I was trying to speed up, but it was a small car and I was accelerating up the mountain. I just thought to myself "oh boy, this is it for me." Next thing you know, in the blink of an eye, I'm ahead of both semi trucks and that women in the car ahead of me gave me the thumbs up and next thing you know she and her car vanished. I got off at the next exit and stopped at a gas station just shaking. Crazy stuff!

[Caren]

Hi again Jack,

Interesting about that anchor you mentioned earlier. Glad to hear you're okay. What an amazing father/son bonding to story to share with family and friends for years to come.

I have a daughter who was in competitive kayaking for a number of years (it's big here in Nova Scotia). When she was 13 her coach took her and other team members to Florida for their annual training camp. I don't remember the exact location, but one evening four of them were on the water practicing with their coach following behind in a small motor boat.

As they were traveling the wind suddenly picked up and the girls got separated from their coach. Being totally unfamiliar with the area they became afraid and were trying not to panic. It began to get dark and my daughter saw some lights in the distance. They paddled toward the lights against a strong wind and against their fear of possible alligators in the area. They managed to reach shore and knocked on the door of a nearby house without any idea of how to get in touch with their coach. Eventually their coach found them and all was well, but when the incident occurred the thing that was foremost in my mind was not only the danger they were in, but the determination they had to move beyond their fear when in a difficult situation.

All the best,

Caren

Jack,

I'm so happy for you! What a terrifying-ly awesome adventure!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, friend.:hug: I will forever remember to scream inside my head...I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!

[Anchor]

@pilotsimone: It was the bit after the "I WANT TO LIVE" that did it though - the taking responsibility and manifesting the solution.

Jack referred to a spiritual presence. Jack was rescued by none other than himself, the spiritual forces merely responded to a correctly formulated order from a creator being.

Thank you. I appreciate the response, but I think you're reading too much into my statement. :)

Glad you made it Jack


thoughts make things happen that's for sure


perhaps you have been graced with a spiritual lesson in right thinking


I didn't have the time to think when I fell asleep behind the wheels

so I can't credence my mind

for driving the car several miles

and putting me in my bed


I never underestimate the power of will and intent

but some times miracles happen which defy logic

Beautiful! The spirit is strong! Long life to you jack and may this experience teach you how powerful your spirit is. The energy you gathered in this intention "I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!" was tremendous. If we could manage to do it for our Earth and humanity. "I WANT YOU TO LIVE!!!!!"

Namaste, Steven

Jack the times when we come face to face with death is a life changing experience we never forget. I had a few of those in my life. Here in Puerto Rico I love to go out for a swim in the ocean , normally I try not to go out too far specially if there's no one around. One day I took one of my daughters who was about 4 years old at the time , while she play with the kids of a family I knew, I asked the lady if she could watch my daughter while I went for a quick swim, as she said yes I quickly dove into the ocean and proceed it to go for my normal swim. I was so inspire that I swan a couple of miles away from the shore, all of the sudden the sunny weather change and some strong winds began to stir the waves in the ocean , before I knew it I got hit by a strong wave and I got drag down to the bottom as I got back up to the surface I got hit again by a strong ocean wave this went on for about 5 minutes which seem like an eternity to me because I spend most of the time fighting underneath the ocean water, as I was about to give up the picture of my daughter eagerly waiting for her dad on the shore engulf me with an incredible feeling that I was going to live no matter how much water I swallow. I was going to get to see my little daughter again and I ask for help, "please give me the strength to swim back to the shore, I don't want my daughter to suffer because her father drown in the ocean". The next thing I knew I felt someone lifting me up to the surface I muster all the determination and will power to swim my way back to see my little daughter as I made it to shore I ran to her and embraced her, exhausted but relief and ever so grateful to be alive .

Thanks Jack and everyone for sharing your experience of life and death.:grouphug:

Many many blessings to all.:wub:

[Micjer]

Thanks for sharing your story Jack. So glad your higher self helped you out. You are obviously needed here at this time.

A friend of mine is diver for the police. He is called into boating accidents on the lakes here in Ontario. He said that the majority of people that get into trouble are either really drunk or did what you did. Having a leak over the front of the boat. As they fall in the water pulls the jeans down so it makes it difficult to swim. That with the intial shock people panic and are in big trouble.

So glad you made out ok!

[greybeard]

Thanks for the sharing Jack et all.
I had a near drowning in the Indian Ocean out of a calm sea a wave rose up and crashed me to the bottom, I surface and before I could draw breath same again this happened three times. I relaxed and surrendered to God I floated up to the surface which was a swirling mass of water but no waves. Two life guards swam out and got me.
My hobby was sailing so I m used to the water and had swum out a fair distance but this was really weird, calm no wind.
I have faced death on quite a few occasions and each time I relaxed and surrendered to God and it came right.
Fear is related to the body, when one knows that hey survive the death of the body fear goes.
It takes humility, strength and courage to relax and surrender to the Creator, leaving the end result totally to That which is Source of all.

John..


You got it in one anchor! There was no spiritual presence when i fell in. Never in my life had i felt so alone. Ive been far out at the beach before, where the waves are crashing in, but this was a completely different kind of situation. This was a narrow inlet, no more then a mile accross, where the force of the water was so tremendous that in mere seconds it had swept me 200 metres from the boat. As well as that the incredible force of the waves crashing down on my head left me with a feeling of nothing other then sheer hopelessness. That spiritual presence was not felt until i made that decision, that i was gonna be sitting in that boat again. Thats when the current lost its grip, my arms got lighter, and i just seemed to be suspended at the top of the water.

You put it perfectly, the spiritual force of the universe responded to a correctly formulated request from a creator being.

Still kinda shook up. Got some sleep last night but had a lot of nightmares. Probably a normal physiological/psyhcological response to the trauma. It should pass as soon as i put on my suit and take a look in the mirror at that devine creator being that has as much powerful creative ability as every other human on this planet. And that is now my goal, to teach each person the inherint power within each one of us to create miracles. Life is not down to chance, it is a choice every step of the way.

Yet again, thanks for all of the fantastic responses.

[Peace of Mind]

Good for you Jack,
way to look fear in the face and conquer it. I’m sure your pops was moving at lightening speed to help you. But since we are not accustomed to understanding our powers, it probably seemed like eternity than the few moments it actually took to fish you out of the water. We can slow down time when very important decision making is in need. When all rationale / trained logic is tossed a side in the heat of the moment we can do some pretty amazing things simply because we choose to. For example, there has been numerous reports of how a person lifted a car off of a child when all that was focused in their mind was the task at hand. These cases (and yours) are great examples of how the power of the mind works….many people die in certain situations because they produce fear and focus their minds on death instead of what they really wanted...bless you, Jack.

What we envision inside manifests it self on the outside. This is how TPTB uses our power against us. They make you believe you need them, their food choices, their medication, their form of education. They don’t want you to realize that you have the true power to make anything and everything happen in your life. Society is cultured to believe that they are helpless beings who can’t survive without the governance of TPTB and their slave driven laws.

Be very careful and mindful of your thoughts, all of reality is based on them...

Thanks for the comment peace of mind. Yep, my dad said that the moment it happened, by the time he grabbed the rope to throw it, id gone some 30 or 40 yards from the boat. So he kept his eye on me and started the engine. All he was focused on was me in the water so not to loose sight, because its a big rough place, it would have been very easy to loose sight of someone. But he had only one thing focused on his mind, and that was to get me back in that boat ASAP! Which he done very well. There are those who would have been tempted to jump in after me out of instinct, which would not doubt have been fatal for us both. Im proud of him :) He did tell me afterwords, that before i took that fateful stumble, he was picturing in his mind what would happen if someone ever fell into that god awful current. The power of two minds?

Be very careful and mindful of your thoughts you couldnt have said it better. The extreme power when thoughts are utilised correctly (or incorrectly) is nothing to be messed with.

Oh my, doesnt that just raise the stakes for the learning that we derive from this.

Something I am working on myself is understanding how if we are individually all powerful, how is it that we can be in a world with billions of other creators and not mess everything up for eachother all the time.

How do you resolve two conflicting "creation" intents.

Instinct tells me the answer is that we are all one at the end of the day and that is how the paradox resolves itself. In the mean time, we will get lots of lessons that will ensure we learn to be careful with these tools we have.

Thoughts are things, and for us, at this time and in the changing fabric of our environment, we are going to have to get used to the fact that manifestation by intent is not a myth - it is a fact and mistakes can be made (and forgiven).

I must say, I am very happy with this thread. It illustrates some supremely important things about the way things are in a very real way. I like it very much that a lot of people are ready to demonstrate that they "know" how this works and speak about it in powerful ways. Also that those of us who groked it a bit earlier are not total freaks.

who was it ?

[conk]

I can relate for sure. I drowned when I was 13 years old. I remember sitting on the bottom of the pond, after having inhaled lungs full of water. I thought, "this isn't so bad", and resigned myself to death. It was very peaceful. The often talked about 'movie reel' of my life streamed by. At that point someone jerked me up and to the bank of the pond. I never told my mom, because my father drowned when I was 3 years old. She would have had a stroke.

Glad you're ok and here to share with us.

Were pretty much doing that every single day of the week (messing stuff up for one another). In my own experience it comes down to whoever is getting the most emotionally involved, that person will determine the outcome for everyone else (or will they.. parallel universes anyone?)
To give an example, during one of the more disastrous phases of my life, when in a place of severe unrelenting depression, anytime me and my friends got together, who normally used to have a fantastic time, everything would go wrong for everyone. A series of events would unfold that would leave everyone with a bitter taste in their mouth and the day would be lost in some form or another. But then I'd hear back stories of the fantastic times they were having when I was not around. After that phase of life was over, and my emotional self was back to its old healthy self, things improved drastically for the group whenever I was around. Now the part that is still unclear to me at this point in time is, Are we creating different "parralell universes" every time we make a shift in our own consciousness. Was i just experiencing one segmant of reality? This is still unclear, but its not really knowledge thats neccesary to take advantage of the phenomena.

Well we have been tooting this horn for quite some time now. Its become my life's work bringing it into the conscious awareness of the people on this planet. "Little" events such as these play the perfect host to illustrating that point in a manner that reaches outside the realms of speculation and into the realm of factual events that can be analysed on a scientific level. Its been going on long enough that people still have not experienced a massive conscious awakening of the power made manifest when they utilise their mental, emotional and physical faculties in the correct manner. Bout time we started using websites like this one to do that now. Every time we focus on a problem, we amplify it with whatever emotions we are experiencing at the time. So if you don't have a solution for the gulf oil spill then you have no business dwelling on it. If you don't have a solution for the poverty so many are experiencing, you have no business researching/dwelling on it. Instead start researching the solution and pushing that forward instead. That we, Human Beings, Have earth moving potential locked away in our minds. Spread this message. Eat it, Sleep it, Be it, Talk it, and nothing else. THAT will set in motion a chain of events that given enough momentum and enough people with this in their conscious awareness, could very well stop such major catastrophes as the gulf oil leak.

If you want to be part of the problem, Continue giving your energy away to things you can do nothing about. If you want to be part of the solution give your focus to those things that will get us out of this mess. Teach people the power in each one of us, and talk about nothing else. Turn away from the problems, ignore them, until we are strong enough to be the solution.
