Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

Proof of life after death - a true story.

This is a true story.

A friend and I were talking a couple weeks ago. She has a close friend who's a surfer in Hawaii. "The surfer" went out with a group of buddies one day to ride the waves but he was hesitant from the get-go. Something about these particular waves didn't look right. But he went anyway. "The surfer" doesn't come off a wave the way one should, falls and gets smacked with his board. He's going down and is running out of air. He's drowning.

Suddenly he sees his body rise out of the water into the sky, but he's looking at his body submerged in the water. How can that be? He sees his friends searching for him frantically. He then watches his friends pull his lifeless body to the shore and begin to administer first aid. An ambulance arrives.

In the meantime, "the surfer's" 'body' is floating higher into the sky...the heavens....Heaven. He sees his grandparents and they see him. They say 'it's wonderful to see you, but it's not your time yet'. He's sad because he's NEVER experienced anything so blissful in his life. He's very happy and he doesn't want to leave them...

Click on READ MORE! to hear what happened to "the surfer".

Back to the ambulance. It's speeding to the hospital. He follows it - his "body" entering in and out of telephone wires and poles and buildings as he and the abmulance race to the hospital. He can hear the ambulance attendants talking. They are desperately trying to revive him.


Cut to the emergency room. He sees doctors and nurses working hooking up a life support unit to his body. He hears what they're saying - and what they're thinking. It doesn't look good for "the surfer". The surfer can see everyone's name tags. He sees everything as if he were awake in the emergency room with them.

One month later. The surfer has been in a coma...for a month. He wakes up. He's sore. And he's depressed. He's sad and scared. He recalls his out-of-body experience and he doesn't want to be back among the living. He was the happiest he had been when he was "dead" - it was unmeasurable how happy he was. The doctor comes in and "the surfer" says, 'don't tell ANYONE that I'm outta my coma yet, OK, doc?' He explains why. He says he needs time to sort out what happened - the accident and the out-of-body experience he had. He asks the doctor if there's a support group that can help him.

Oh - and he tells the doctor all about the things he remembered...floating above the Pacific Ocean, what transpired in the ambulance ride over and what was going on in the emergency room, the names of the doctors and nurses that were attending to him, what they said and what they were thinking. The doctor leaves.

The doctor returns a while later with the contact information of a group the surfer can get in touch with. The doctor also checks out the surfer's story - confirming what the surfer told him about the names of the doctors and what was going on in the ambulance and the emergency room. The doctor confirms EVERYTHING that the surfer told him - all experienced when the surfer was unconscious.

Now - explain to me what just happened?

UPDATE: The person I got this story from tells me I made a number of factual errors. The gist of the story is, however, correct. I swear I wrote it down exactly as she told it to me.

Strange. Strange also is the fact that this "friend" isn't talking to me anymore.
