I have read reports of mediums knowing when people are dying soon (weeks to months.) and I believe the sitters also have an inkling about this as well.

What do you guys think?

(When I think of my death, I get a feeling of a car accident and me dying horribly but fast because of no seat belt. I feel this happening but not for some years yet. I also get a feeling the accident isn't necessarily my fault.)

I spent a great deal of my life last year on the subject of death. At times I desired death but didn't have the courage to make it happen. I would instead wish to not wake up after sleeping. At this point in time I was very depressed and confused about life. I had come to a belief in my mind that I would die young regardless of it being my fault or not. However, I do not remember fearing death at all during this time. I was so unhappy with my life that I saw death as only a release. But even as I continued to live I had this feeling that I would not survive past my 20s, and I associated it with a car crash or a disease. (Very common causes of death)

At the beginning of this year many new thoughts, realizations, and questions entered my mind. I eventually found my way to a belief in spirituality and a curiosity for the Afterlife. As I thought more and researched, I found I could no longer accept that death was the end of everything. I now for the first time in my life had obtained a fear of death and so too returned my insomnia.

But this new fear of death is not a fear of death itself, but that I had now discovered I truly want to live and that my fear was dying too soon. My thoughts and feelings of dying young were back. Over the past few weeks my thoughts have been very focused on my new found spirituality and with each week my fear of death has decreased.

I would describe that fear now as only a raised awareness of death. This is all new and fresh to me so my mind has new fears as well. By paying attention to the amount of death to young people which occurs daily, it's easy to wonder "why not me?" These questions only further negative thinking and therefore create fear and unless you can conquer that fear you will consider that you will die soon and by considering this your conscious and your daily living becomes negative, possibly indeed leading to the demise which keeps plaguing the mind.

As I have continued to further my thoughts and accept knowledge of the Afterlife I have also discovered a strong desire to live. Very often do I tell myself that I wish to grow old and experience great love and leave a family and a legacy on this earth. I have found new purposes and goals for this life and the only thing which could stop them is death, which sort of makes it my enemy. But the true enemy is the fear and consideration of death. If you allow it to haunt you, it will defeat you.

I now believe that I will live to fulfill my goals. I believe this because I have plans of love and compassion. I have ideas to influence people positively and help the people closest to me understand the life I am discovering and how it can help them too. I have such a desire to live that I believe death will only arrive at a time I consider convenient.

Understand that we are the masters of our destiny and everything which occurs is decided directly from the choices you make and the choices every one else makes. We are connected. Find a will and a desire to live and purposes which involve the most powerful energy in existence (love) and you will live for as long as you need to fulfill your time here. Unless they have great regrets, I've never met or known an old person who wasn't prepared for death.

To put it simply, love and you will live.

125/200 for a 62% accuracy for me. Not bad imo considering I've never even tried anything with psychic stuff.

I'd say our souls never die, but our bodies do.

I believe there is more than one exit available. How a particular one is 'reached' or 'achieved' I don't know. There have been more than a few 'close calls' for me, but I'm still here, and I don't think anyone can predict my death. Not unless I've got some horrible disease, which I don't believe I do.

I tried the test and was pretty much dead even. It kinda gave me the creeps to do it, though, wondering how my thoughts might be affecting the living persons. Therefore, I tried not to think, just react to the photos. When I seemed to be most successful with it was looking in the eyes. The 'live' ones had a certain look in their faces, very engaged and hopeful. At least, I thought so.

Quote:

I remember when my Grandmother passed. She was quite the woman. Used to smack people on the ankle with her cane as they walked by, just to piss them off. She was a flapper in the 30s. She had some stories. Just before she died I went to see her in the hospital. She just hated being there. Wanted so bad to die in her own home. She told me she would be dead by the weeks end. I asked her about her soon to be ending life. She told me she saw herself going down this pink tunnel into a blazing bright light. I though it was the same tunnel with the light that so many have spoken about in their explorations or NDE's. She died a few days later and her funeral was shortly afterwards. We all went to the funeral and the family went to the parking area under the funeral home. As they drove Grandmas body off to be burnt up, I watched the car go. Here it drove down a pink tiled tunnel off into the Alberta sunset. Just how she described it. She knew when she was going to die and placement, location of the movement of her body after her death. I think many people know when their going to die and see it beforehand.

On my thread, "The Healing of a Cripple," I will post a detailed account of some of my death premonitions.  They are always accurate!  For now, I'll just describe it like this: I'm talking to someone and I unexpectedly seem to see their skeleton.  This perception is accompanied by a sense of dread and then by an uncanny awareness that they will imminently be dead.

My Dad has a friend named Helmut.   Helmut's Dad always foreknew that he would die on his 90th birthday.  When that day came, his family members were apprehensive but were afraid to say anything.  Helmut's Dad acted very chipper as if nothing was unusual.  Then he complained that he felt tired and would take an afternoon nap.  He never revived from that nap!  His prediction made many decades earlier came true.

Emanuel Swedenborg learned during his astral explorations that John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was eager to meet him.  So ES sent JW a letter revealing this awareness and inviting JW to set up a time for a visit.   JW was astuonded because he had told no one he was eager to meet ES.  JW explained that the meeting must be postponed 3 months until he finished his ministry tour to America--a tour, by the way, which spared what historians call "the Great Awakening."  ES sent his regrets, adding sadly that by then ho would be dead.  In fact, ES knew the exact date of his anticipated death!  When the day came, he quietly said good-bye to his housekeeper.  Then he lay down for a nap and passed away in his sleep.

Your will and desire to live and spread love in this world will have a very large impact on how your life will be. It's like how my constant premonitions of my death at an early age were haunting me last year. It's strange because I can almost describe what I was going through as an experience similar to what people call a "midlife crisis." It's not so much when that happens, it's just that it does. I think this is just your conscious making you aware that you need to change your life.

So I think my prediction of dying young was right at that time. Because if I did continue to feel as I did and not find a solution and a strength, this was to be my fate. But now I feel as though I am going to live a long life. Long enough anyway that death will not give me fear. And I know I feel this because I have found so many answers to life and am continuing to do so. We must keep our energy flowing and "alive."
