Anyone else have a crystalized moments in time, that had it gone a second different, you'd be dead? One in particular I recall is my senior year at University. It was just months after 9/11 and I was running late to get to one of my classes. I was a following a vehicle that was going just a bit too slow and we nearly almost, ALMOST..made the intersection light when they started to slow in front of me on yellow..I yelled out.. Keep going! it's yellow!A split second later..a semi truck going faster than I had even seen in that spot, blew through the intersection. I was driving a 1986 Honda CRX. Had I been 3 or 4 seconds ahead, I would have run the yellow light and been T-boned by a semi truck. Smooshed. As I sat there at the red light, behind the car that had saved my life..I realized in that moment something that brings me around to it decades later. And here we are. [ link to youtu.be (secure)] I've had so many NDE I've actually lost count and couldn't tell you one specific event. Because after a while they all blend into one and it's a mess. I have the PTSD to prove it.  Does that count as an NDE? I wasn't injured..just knew had I been 3 seconds forward in time..I would have died. I knew it immediately and absolutely and humbled in moment completely. I recall it perfectly. Light a photographic memory but with depth. A couple years earlier..a group of young adults had been killed less than 100 yards away, driving in a truck and hit head on. I remembered the day it happened and noticed the plastic bouquet of flowers left(tied) on the fence, to mark their death..for many, many years after. I only a few years back noticed someone removed it. PTSD is a result of living through trauma and then becoming hypervigilant in the wake to avoid that potential in the future. Being 'triggered' is a behavior of feeling out of control of that potential..such that 'nothing left to lose' clicks into place..where it might be no longer(and most likely isn't) viable become problematic.
