i had a strange experience, in which I almost died, and since then I've been convinced we actually do determine the time of our death. the reason for the lack of knowledge by the majority is the poor understanding most have about what is going on in their unconscious mind.
but we can fish it out, and when I did, I found many reason that I would have 'died' because of my thoughts. but before you realize they have a real impact, you don't think of them that way.
but once you see the power of your thoughts, you never allow such thoughts to linger as I would before when I was unaware of the consequences.
I'm overwhelmed.
