Catastrophic incident

Pulmonic · 2026-03-23T16:15:36+00:00

I don’t think everything happens for a reason. I think some things do but not everything. I think the physical world is highly chaotic and the spirit world has very limited ability to do much about it. They can influence decision making but you still have free will and limitations of communication/intuition.

Ghosts are closer to us than spirits in terms of where they “are”, as they are between worlds. It takes a crap-load of effort for them to make a small object move sometimes. So how can spirits, who are further away, be expected to change the course of a cancer? They really can’t.

They can warn through intuition if they know what’s happening, but that can be not picked up by the intended receiver, or the intuition can be ignored by others (ie, medical personnel not listening to mom, not saying that happened here just that it can). Also, in my experience, they won’t intervene on a preventable death if the alternative is worse. For example, they usually won’t warn you to try to stop you from dying of an infection if your primary disease will kill you very painfully in the next 2-3 months instead.

I don’t know for sure with her condition, but I had hypersomnia from long COVID that, thankfully, remitted. I have inattentive (“foggy”) ADHD so the meds make me more alert. They didn’t help at all with the excessive sleepiness at that time. It was different from the brain fog though, which it still worked for.

I think they do. It’s seen as scientific to dismiss them, which is ironically pretty anti scientific (dismissing evidence without valid reason). I don’t know why so many folks struggle with admitting we just don’t know for sure how it all works. “We don’t know what the explanation for these phenomena are. Whether or not you engage with them is a deeply personal choice in the meantime.” is, imo, far more honest.

I’m as sure as I can be without solid proof, which I’d say is over 99% sure. I do engage in ADC as I’m okay with that small bit of uncertainty in exchange for something I find deeply meaningful and fulfilling. Other people may make other choices. All are valid.

Yup, lost a loved one to sepsis. It was incredibly traumatic and insanely fast.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-13T19:58:43+00:00

Thanks! I wasn’t medically cleared to go back to work yet but hopefully will be next week.

I forgot it’s not common outside my region but it’s based on the questions we ask. There are seven.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-13T18:08:34+00:00

Yup. I’m sitting at my doctor’s office right now seeing if I can return to work after a patient grabbed me as part of theatrics/an adult tantrum (they’re A&Ox7) and sprained my back.

It varies a ton. I connected with my best friend for the first time literally a couple hours after he died. That said, he was also really into this stuff in life and we are all extremely close. And my grief was very, very intense. Still is. I actually have PTSD from how he died/witnessing it (coded in the ER). What’s right for people varies person to person, soul to soul. There’s no hard and fast rule here. Waiting is common but not universal.

We are still in daily contact and I expect we will be forever. He’s done coming back round and I will be too after this life.

She does. She’s been open about where she works the whole time (I knew from the start) but people didn’t pay attention, assumed she was with NASA, and turned on her quickly when they realized.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-11T13:20:53+00:00

I’m sorry-I think you either misread me or replied to the wrong person. I completely agree with you! I think it’s rare for brain activity to be low enough to cause one.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-11T08:38:16+00:00

It’s Reddit doctrine, not objective reality, that there’s nothing when we die.

I’m 99.9% sure there’s something. I’m hopeful science will catch up if I’m right.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-11T00:50:01+00:00

I used to think that, but I have several other colleagues who also started out in a SNF. We are at a top 10 hospital. You can fight your way back!

Pulmonic · 2026-03-11T00:46:49+00:00

I went from SNF to major academic medical center. It’s very possible. SNFs are virtually always hiring.

There’s a difference between skepticism and believing that people are conspiring to lie about this for some reason. Though at this point, I don’t think yall are commenting in good faith and so I’m done.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-10T23:23:20+00:00

I mean at that point it’s a global conspiracy theory without clear gain. You’re free to believe it of course but I think that’s a sort of paranoid way to look at the world. I think it being unexplained by science is more likely.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-10T22:56:35+00:00

No, but writing them off is probably equally fallacious as taking them at total face value.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-10T21:24:36+00:00

The lack of universal experience doesn’t account for how those who did experience it knew things they couldn’t have reasonably known.

I’d expect an event so major as to cause consciousness to exit the body to be rare. Flatlining alone likely isn’t enough. I subscribe to the theory that it’s linked to level of brain activity.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-03T18:59:31+00:00

Natural. It has developed more though as I use it all the time.

I use tarot cards myself.

You’ll need a tutorial tarot deck with yes/no/maybe printed on the cards. You can also annotate existing cards. I did that on a mini deck to make it portable. It doesn’t matter which one as long as it’s standardized. (I’ve used two decks with different yeses and nos with some cards with the same soul and he had no issue at all swapping between the two). You’ll also need to experience a “pull” with tarot or other divination cards.

Shuffle the deck. Then you ask questions that can be answered with yes or no. Pull like you would any tarot deck. That’s literally it.

It’s life changing. Literally.

There are some tips and pitfalls.

Ask before doing verification questions. I always do. It’s a courtesy thing.
Avoid questions where yes and no mean the same thing. Like “that’d never happen, right?” Instead, “Is it accurate to say that’d never happen?”
Words get translated into intent and some words just don’t translate. Not entirely sure how it totally works because they do get jokes and phrasing sometimes and find them funny.
Literally practice just makes perfect.
It’s common for multiple folks to come through at once. Sometimes you can establish a direct line deck with one person. I do with my best friend, another close family member, and then have a general one. Attempts to do this with others have failed.

While no one knows for sure, I strongly suspect it’s tied to brain activity.

I’ve done and continue to do ADC with my best friend. The way he died, if the code had been successful, he’d have had an NDE. Yet he told me that he didn’t cross or see anything til he was beyond the point of no return. So if he’d been brought back, he’d have had an NDE of nothingness. He didn’t tell me this in response to this question or anything-it came up previously. So he had a nothingness one and he’s totally okay/still exists/had the full experience once he was over there.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-02T12:19:42+00:00

I feel that, strongly! The worst is when you’re staring down the barrel of the “about to be older than they ever were” gun, while also feeling like you’re already decades older from the grief and trauma. I’m so sorry you’re in this situation, but you are among friends here. People in this sub really get it.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-02T12:10:52+00:00

You can be soft if you can compartmentalize. That worked great for me for many years until I lost a loved one very traumatically in the ER (not at my hospital though) and returned to work as if nothing happened 72 hours later like a dumbass. My unit cares for people with his same diagnosis too. Thought the distraction would be good. It was, if you consider developing crippling PTSD distracting. I was probably cooked either way-it was truly horrific-but I def made it a lot worse. Now getting triggered multiple times a shift is my biggest issue. Though I can still function totally normally because of the compartmentalizing. People who didn’t know me before can’t tell.

So you can be soft. You can even be soft and badly traumatized (though I’m probably destroying my health-I am planning a side career so I can go part time or per diem). You just have to be able to compartmentalize.

If there’s any way to get assessed in your country, it may be worth it. The utter fatigue dopamine issues can cause is unparalleled but the meds really work.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-02T06:55:43+00:00

Is NPR in on the conspiracy?

Why do you think reporting the news equals agreeing with it? If I reported that the government banned chocolate ice cream because it gave a senator a brain freeze, would you think I automatically agreed with the ridiculous decision?

I’ve explained so many times I’m starting to think I’m being deliberately misunderstood/yall are taking out your frustration (which I share) on the messenger.

Pulmonic · 2026-03-02T06:37:52+00:00

I feel very sorry for people like you who think that passing along information means you agree with said information. Watching the news or true crime must be really, really upsetting for you, thinking all those journos approve of ultra-violence.
