A friend called me today. He was my second boyfriend. We were both almost 16 years old when my family boarded the General Daniel L. Sulton leaving Hawaii and bound for San Francisco. It was heart wrenching, watching him on shore as the ship pulled away from the dock. Like everyone else, I threw my leis overboard. Tradition was if they floated to shore you would return to the islands; if they floated to sea, you would not. Of course those of us on the ship could not see what happened with our leis. I always wished I could ask Wyland but I never expected to see him again - or to talk with him again.

I had not talked to him since that day at the dock until about 6 months ago when I located him through the Army Brats website. I just wanted to know whether he was still alive. He was - is, and we had a long talk.

He called today and we had another great and long talk. His wife has some health issues and I learned a few things about diabetes that I did not know before. The AIC is an average of your blood sugar over a 6-month period. The VA considers anything below 7.00 to be a condition that can be treated with diet, etc. The most interesting thing he told me was that when we have more sugar in our bodies than our output of insulin can handle, the excess sugar attaches to red blood corpulses and they are very abrasive. As they circulate throughout one’s body they do a lot of damage. This was an abbreviated course, he told me, so if I left something out, it was not intentional on his part or mine.

Because my father, like his, was in the Army, we moved constantly. We became used to saying goodbye and to never expecting to see friends ever again. What was hard for me as an adult was learning how to live life as a long-termer in a place rather than a short-termer. To live planning for a future in one place, with the same people.

We talked about that, too, Wyland and I, and he told me he had very few friends throughout his life and that he was really a loner - as am I, essentially. We had to. learn not to depend on others We always came into a school in the middle of a semester and got used to feeling like outsiders, which we were. When we left we often knew no one better than we did on that first day. The other kids sensed something about us, that we were not investing in them, maybe, because we weren't, and they just tuned us out as we did them. We could not come to care for them because then we would find it painful to leave them.

Strange that his career was in the military, two tours in Vietnam, two purple hearts, and now he is working as a civilian doing something with bombs, this gentle and loving man.

While talking to him was wonderful, it also has left me feeling, well, I don’t have a name for it. And it isn’t just that he spent his life in the military. I understand where he is coming from in that respect. That is all he knew. He is a colonel and he has a big heart so I know he did not intentionally hurt anyone - whatever he did, he was just going by the regs, "following orders." He is a believer. He trusts our government. I do not know what in the hell it is, other than that walk down memory lane and all the feelings it stirred up. But, I beat the odds - by finding Wyland. Keeping a friend. Isn’t that great?

“You have to understand that the soul leaves the body. In 'soul weight' studies, there is shown a weight loss at the time of death. If there is a weight loss ( mass ) , and it leaves then it must have speed, or velocity. speed times velocity is energy. It is an energy that leaves the body at death. E=MC2 energy equals mass times velocity,” Brian K. - as posted on NDERF

Compliments of Eyton’s Earth: http://www.eytonsearth.org/general-uses-clay.php

Bentonite Used Orally

Using an uncontamined green healing clay interally can be advantageous for general health. Traditionally, only small amounts of hydrated clay are required to achieve the following benefits:

Detoxification of the digestive system (the sorptive action of clay pulls contaminants from the body)

Bacterial, organic and non-organic toxicity

Elimination of internal parasites ( digestive tracts )

Immune System Support ( clay used internally stimulates the body's elimination system and supports organ function )

Fixes free oxygen in the blood stream ( occurs once the liver has been restored to full function )

Increases T-cell count

Fights free radicals

Mercury poisoning!

Trace mineral supplement

Liver Detoxification

Stomach Aches and bacterial food poisoning

Alkalizing agent in the body

Brian K's NDE

Events surrounding NDE: I was employed at the University of Michigan, I was married and had a son, 4 months old. I was hitching a ride home.

If yes, describe: it was an orb of love knowledge, understanding and wisdom

Did you meet or see any other beings: Yes

If yes, describe. Where were they? Did you know them? What was communicated: Immediately upon leaving my body there was darkness, then I saw several humans that were floating, they told me not to go to the light. At the end of the tunnel was a man who asked about the life review. I saw spirits, like shining lights of love, and I saw 12 beings that were not human, they had large heads and large eyes, they had no mouths that I saw, or ears. They were not scary, they were not demanding, or judgmental, they were there to help. Above them was a spirit that did communicate what things meant

Did you experience a review of past events in your life: Yes

Describe in detail. Did you learn anything you did not have previously know? Please provide details. Did you learn anything that helps you live your life now: I remember a man standing next to me, and he asked me if I was ready to review my life, then I saw like an H.O. scale train board below me, and it was a city, and I dropped into it, and reviewed my life. I don't remember specifics

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events occurring while you were unconscious that could be verified later: Yes

If yes, describe. How did you verify this: I saw what was going to happen with black people that has happened, and I saw my son Mike as an adult, and he would not be born until 1978, seven years after my NDE

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions: Yes

If yes, describe: well, there was the level of being out of the body, and looking down at it, then the level where there was darkness, then the tunnel, then life review, then standing in front of the Creator, then standing in front of the 'greater beings of knowledge' then the trip back

If yes, describe: well, I had a total life review, and saw the past, the future, and stood in front of the creator, and the earth time was probably five to ten minutes

Did you have a sense of knowing universal order and/or purpose: Yes

If yes, discuss and share what you came to know: that love is the answer. That there is a Creator, and the description of god in the bible does in no way relate to the Creator

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure: No

Did you become aware of future events in your life: Yes

If yes, describe. Based on your life following the NDE, how accurate was this awareness: well, I saw my son , I remember saying 'oh aaron' as I only had one son at that time, and the spirit said, no...and I realized it was my other son ( not born yet)

Were you involved in or aware of a decision regarding your return to the body: Yes

If yes, describe, including your emotions at that time: that is the thing that I first tried to explain to my family and friends, that i had a choice to live or die. They could not relate to this. It shut me up. I felt like I was being thought of as crazy. At the time I stood in front of the 12 beings the spirit told me what would happen if I returned that I could have control of, and I saw the image of my son Mike with his head back, as if he had broken or injured it. I felt like that was a good reason to be in my body, to return to life, and I did. I felt only love there, no pain, or fear.

Did you have any psychic or paranormal gifts following the NDE you did not have prior to the NDE: Yes

If yes, describe: I have visions that come true. I can not ask to have a vision, they just come. I have verified these to my wife and others. I think the greatest gift was to be able to see the love in everyone. I can see love in everyone. That's a gift eh?

Did you have any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the NDE: Yes

If yes, describe: I was agnostic, as I had an NDE as a child, that I had no thoughts of until later in life, way after the second one that I describe here. From the first one on, I could and can't stand churches. I now know there is a Creator. I don't like religion.

How has the NDE affected your relationships? Daily Life? Religious practices etc.? Career choices: I don't know. I think for a long time I was bitter because no one believed me, and I still am bitter when someone says I won't go to heaven because I don't believe in their god or religion. That bitterness envelopes me sometimes. I have volunteered for hospice, and I try to help people with kindness.

Have you shared this experience with others: Yes

If yes, what were their reactions? Were they influenced in any way by your NDE? How: at first my attempts to explain were hesitant, and had no courage behind them. After I went to a Dannion Brinkley seminar, I got determined. Now I teach classes in community education here in Boise Idaho, and I have given a seminar. I have always gotten great reviews.

I think the greatest reaction was at the side of a dying man who could not speak, or move at all ( brain tumor). I told about my NDE to his family, and the man moved, he took my hand to his mouth and kissed it several times. Can you beat that??? I felt my knees weaken, and I cried. Happy tears...

What emotions did you experience following your NDE: I felt love. I felt rejection by everyone I told about the NDE to. Of course I didn't know anything about NDE's or that anyone else had ever had one. I still felt anger and fear, and pain. still do

What was the best and worst part of your NDE: when in the darkness the people approached me, I was flooded with fear, but not of the light, just them. Then the worst part? although it was free will to come back into my body, the realization I was going back into my body, back to earth. That sucked real bad!!!

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the NDE: in my class when I try to explain what the Creator looked like, I say this: imagine an ardvark running accross the stage, and everyone having to write a description of it. We would have as many different descriptions as there are people describing it, but, we all would understand the descriptions by the others. And, that someone trying to figure out what we saw by reading the descriptions would not be able to make sense of it.

Following the NDE, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the NDE experience: No

Did the questions asked and information you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your NDE: No

Explain: you gotta do it to understand

Please offer any suggestions you may have for these questions to help us understand NDE: you have to understand that the soul leaves the body. In 'soul weight' studies, there is shown a weight loss at the time of death. If there is a weight loss ( mass ) , and it leaves then it must have speed, or velocity. speed times velocity is energy. It is an energy that leaves the body at death. E=MC2 energy equals mass times velocity

May we contact you? If no, we will never contact you. If we my contact you only under certain circumstances or in a certain way, please select yes, and enter the circumstances and/or way we may contact you. This NDE and contact information will not be given to anyone else, unless you agree in advance: Yes

Eloheim

My daughter send me a video, "The Now leads to Bliss." She is so new age I call her a child of the unbirthed age. No, she corrects me, a child of the "now birthing age."

Anyway, watched it and it was elucidating, pointing out our tendency to call a thing either good or bad, to box our experiences in, thereby setting ourselves up to 1) experience stress as we anticipate which it will be; 2) experience disappointed about half the time with outcomes, so we experience the bad or failure and the emotional upheaval of the bad half of our lives.

Rather, the Eloheim points out, we can put ourselves in a state of bliss whereby we do not give outcomes the power to control our experiences. If the Patriots lose, then, it is not bad but just a happening. If your daughter fails algebra, again, it is just a happening and you are presented with an opportunity to explore with her why's of the event itself rather than engendering in both you and she a sense of failure.

There is, in other words, an opportunity for growth in every experience of any import if we do not box the experience in and thereby cut off all exploration. Spill a pot of soup on the floor? Bad experience? Or an opportunity to clean the floor, to try a new quick recipe for dinner, to look at why we were so anxious and hurried that we spilled the soup, and on and on. So, we can call it good or call it bad or call our state a state of bliss, a state wherein we accept events in our lives and the lives of those we love and explore them rather than boxing them in, labeling them either good or bad. Happiness is not lasting. Pain is not lasting (although at its origin it certainly seems to be). Bliss, however, the willingness to accept what life deals us and to learn from the experiences rather than boxing them into the good or bad category, is lasting, Eloheim points out.

I am not sure I conveyed accurately what the video conveyed. You might google it and I think you will gain from it - I certainly did.
