Find stories of life after death. Life after death: facts, stories, real cases. Amazing medical testimonies

Eighteen people in Russia gave their consent to cryopreservation (freezing at ultra-low temperatures) immediately after death, and three people have already been cryopreserved. They all expressed a desire to be defrosted in the future, when scientists can finally bring a person back to life after he has died. There is an assumption that if, after cryopreservation, a person is warmed and revived, it will be the same person that he was. And his soul will return to him in the same way as it happens during resuscitation.

Since ancient times, there is this mystery - Death. And next to it is another one - does life exist after Death has occurred? Humanity is trying to penetrate the mystery of death, to understand what it is, why is this happening? And what is there, beyond death?

After the latest research, it becomes clear: death is not the end, there is another life behind it. We emphasize - another, but life. This conclusion was made by scientists, combining the achievements of science and religion.

The very first mention of possible reincarnations was found in the most ancient scriptures of the Hindus - in the Vedas. Every living being has two bodies - gross and subtle. When the gross body wears out and becomes unfit for life, the soul will leave it in subtle body. The Vedas say that this is what death looks like. When the soul finds itself a new body that suits it and completely suits it, a new person will be born. On the modern language This transmigration of the soul is called reincarnation.

Back in the last century, the psychiatrist Ian Stevenson initiated the study of the experience of reincarnation. During the experiment, more than 2 thousand cases were analyzed, each of which is unique, in different parts of the world, he came to the amazing conclusion that survivors of reincarnation will have in their future life those defects that they had in past life. About a third of the children Stevenson worked with were born with pre-existing defects. So, all of them, under hypnosis, remembered what happened to them in a past life. Here are some examples.

A boy with a growth on his head remembered that in a past life he was killed with an ax. The shape of the growth perfectly matched the shape of the hacked scar.

A boy who was born with seemingly cut off fingers said that he had cut off his fingers in the field. Stevenson managed to find people who confirmed that someone there, at some point, cut off his fingers with a threshing machine.

These are just two examples. Ian Stevenson did a great job, studied a lot of materials to come to this conclusion: after death, everyone will have to be born again. Moreover, he claimed that some people are able to see their past or future life in a dream. It should be noted the state in which, probably, everyone was: it already happened to me.

Death is great mystery, and not everyone can get into it. But every day science is slowly moving in that direction in order to understand: what is it like, life after death?

Life after death: real facts and cases in history One of the main questions for everyone is the question of what awaits us after death. For millennia, unsuccessful attempts have been made to unravel this mystery. In addition to guesswork, there are real facts confirming that death is not the end of the human journey. There are a large number of videos about paranormal phenomena that have conquered the Internet. But even in this case, there are a lot of skeptics who say that the videos can be faked. It is difficult to disagree with them, because a person is not inclined to believe in what he cannot see with his own eyes. There are many stories of people coming back from the dead when they were about to die. How to perceive such cases is a matter of faith. However, often even the most hardened skeptics have changed themselves and their lives, faced with situations that cannot be explained with the help of logic. Religion about deathIn the vast majority of religions of the world there are teachings about what awaits us after death. The most common is the doctrine of Heaven and Hell. Sometimes it is supplemented with an intermediate link: "walking" through the world of the living after death. Some peoples believe that such a fate awaits suicides and those who have not completed something important on this Earth. A similar concept is observed in many religions. For all the difference, they are united by one thing: everything is tied to good and bad, and the posthumous state of a person depends on how he behaved during his lifetime. It is impossible to write off the religious description of the afterlife. Life after death exists - inexplicable facts confirm this. Interesting cases in history One day something amazing happened to a priest who was the pastor of the Baptist Church in the United States of America. A man was driving his car home from a meeting about the construction of a new church, but a truck flew out to meet him. The accident could not be avoided. The collision was so strong that the man fell into a coma for a while. An ambulance arrived soon, but it was too late. The man's heart was not beating. The doctors confirmed the cardiac arrest by rechecking. They had no doubt that the man was dead. Around the same time, the police arrived at the scene of the accident. Among the officers there was a Christian who saw a cross in the priest's pocket. Immediately he noticed his clothes and realized who was in front of him. He could not send God's servant on his last journey without prayer. He spoke the words of prayer as he climbed into the dilapidated car and took the hand of the man who did not have a beating heart. While reading the lines, he heard a barely perceptible groan, which plunged him into shock. He checked his pulse again and realized that he could clearly feel the pulse of blood. Later, when the man miraculously recovered and began to live his former life, this story became popular. Perhaps the man really returned from the other world to finish important things at the behest of God. Anyway, but scientific explanation they could not give it, because the heart cannot start on its own. The priest himself said more than once in his interviews that he saw only white light and nothing more. He could take advantage of the situation and say that the Lord himself spoke to him or that he saw angels, but he did not. A couple of reporters claimed that when asked about what the person saw in this afterlife dream, he smiled discreetly, and his eyes filled with tears. Perhaps he really saw something secret, but did not want to make it public. When people are in a short coma, their brain does not have time to die during this time. That is why it is worth paying attention to the numerous stories that people, being between life and death, saw a light so bright that even through closed eyes it oozes as if the eyelids were transparent. One hundred percent of people came back to life and told that the light began to move away from them. Religion interprets this very simply - their time has not yet come. A similar light was seen by the Magi approaching the cave where Jesus Christ was born. It is the radiance of paradise, the afterlife. No one saw angels, God, but felt the touch of higher powers. Another thing is dreams. Scientists have proven that we can dream anything that our brain can imagine. In a word, dreams are not limited by anything. It happens that people see their dead relatives in dreams. If 40 days have not passed after death, then this means that the person really talked to you from the afterlife. Unfortunately, dreams cannot be analyzed objectively from two points of view - from scientific and religious-esoteric, because it's all about sensations. You may dream of the Lord, angels, heaven, hell, ghosts and whatever, but you do not always feel that the meeting was real. It happens that in dreams we remember the deceased grandparents or parents, but only occasionally does a real spirit come to someone in a dream. We all understand that it will not be realistic to prove our feelings, so no one spreads their impressions further than beyond the family circle. Those who believe in the afterlife, and even those who doubt, wake up after such dreams with a completely different view of the world. Spirits can predict the future, which has happened more than once in history. They can show discontent, joy, sympathy. There are quite famous story, which occurred in Scotland in the early 70s of the 20th century with an ordinary builder. A residential building was being built in Edinburgh. The construction worker was Norman MacTagert, who was 32 years old. He fell from a rather great height, lost consciousness and fell into a coma for a day. Shortly before that, he dreamed of a fall. After he woke up, he told what he saw in a coma. According to the man, it was a long journey, because he wanted to wake up, but he could not. First he saw that same blinding bright light, and then he met his mother, who said that she always wanted to become a grandmother. The most interesting thing is that as soon as he regained consciousness, his wife told him about the most pleasant news that is possible - Norman was supposed to become a dad. The woman found out about the pregnancy on the day of the tragedy. The man had serious problems in good health, but he not only survived, but continued to work and feed his family. At the end of the 90s, something very unusual happened in Canada. The doctor on duty at a Vancouver hospital was taking calls and filling out paperwork, but then she saw a little boy in white pajamas for the night. He yelled from the other end of the emergency room, "Tell my mom not to worry about me." The girl was frightened that one of the patients had left the ward, but then she saw the boy go through the closed doors of the hospital. His house was a couple of minutes from the hospital. That's where he ran. The doctor was alarmed by the fact that it was three in the morning on the clock. She decided that she must by all means catch up with the boy, because even if he is not a patient, he must be reported to the police. She ran after him for just a couple of minutes, until the child ran into the house. The girl began to ring the doorbell, after which the mother of that same boy opened the door for her. She said that it was impossible for her son to leave the house, because he was very sick. She burst into tears and went to the room where the baby lay in his crib. It turned out that the boy had died. The story received a great response in society. In the cruel Second World War, one ordinary Frenchman fired back from the enemy for almost two hours during the battle in the city. Next to him was a man about 40 years old, who covered him from the other side. It is impossible to imagine how great was the surprise of an ordinary soldier of the French army, who turned in that direction to say something to his partner, but realized that he had disappeared. A few minutes later, the cries of the approaching allies were heard, hurrying to the rescue. He and several other soldiers ran out to meet the help, but the mysterious partner was not among them. He searched for him by name and rank, but never found that same fighter. Perhaps it was his guardian angel. Doctors say that in such stressful situations slight hallucinations are possible, but a conversation with a man for an hour and a half cannot be called an ordinary mirage. There are quite a lot of similar stories about life after death. Some of them are confirmed by eyewitnesses, but doubters still call it a fake and try to find scientific justification for the actions of people and their visions. Real facts about the afterlifeSince ancient times, there have been cases when people saw ghosts. They were first photographed and then filmed. Some people think that this is a montage, but later they are personally convinced of the veracity of the pictures. Numerous stories cannot be considered proof of the existence of life after death, so people need scientific evidence and facts. First fact: many have heard that after death a person becomes lighter by exactly 22 grams. Scientists cannot explain this phenomenon in any way. Many believers tend to believe that 22 grams is the weight human soul. Many experiments were carried out, which ended with the same result - the body became lighter by a certain amount. Why is the main question. People's skepticism cannot be destroyed, so many hope that an explanation will be found, but this is unlikely to happen. Ghosts can be seen by the human eye, hence their "body" has mass. Obviously, everything that has some kind of shape must be at least partly physical. Ghosts exist in larger dimensions than we do. There are 4 of them: height, width, length and time. Time is not subject to ghosts from the point of view from which we see it. Fact two: the temperature of the air near the ghosts decreases. This is typical, by the way, not only for the souls of dead people, but also for the so-called brownies. All this is the result of the action of the afterlife in reality. When a person dies, the temperature around him immediately decreases sharply, literally for a moment. This indicates that the soul leaves the body. The temperature of the soul is about 5-7 degrees Celsius, as measurements show. During paranormal phenomena, the temperature also changes, so scientists have proven that this happens not only during immediate death, but also afterwards. The soul has a certain radius of influence around itself. Many horror films use this fact to bring the shooting closer to reality. Many people confirm that when they felt the movement of a ghost or some kind of entity near them, they were very cold. Here is an example of a paranormal video that shows real ghosts. The authors claim that this is not a joke, but experts who watched this compilation, they say that about half of all such videos are the real truth. Particularly noteworthy is the part of this video where the girl is pushed by the ghost in the bathroom. Experts report that physical contact possible and absolutely real, and the video is not a fake. Almost all pictures of moving pieces of furniture can be true. The problem is that it is very easy to fake such a video, but there was no acting in the moment where the chair next to the sitting girl began to move by itself. There are very, very many such cases around the world, but no less of those who just want to promote their video and become famous. Distinguishing fake from the truth is difficult, but real. Basically, genuine videos have a special energy. It overwhelms and makes you tremble with fear. If this does not happen, then either the video is not real, or the viewer has nerves of steel and is firmly convinced that the other world does not exist.

We choose natural Karelian granite for monuments

The stone-working factory "Danila-Master" offers you grave monuments made of natural Karelian gabbro granite - diabase, the best stone in terms of price-quality ratio, service life and reliability.
Let us specify only the main of its many advantages.

Strength and durability:

Granite - translated from Latin "grain", is so named because it is a granular volcanic rock that was formed as a result of cooling and solidification of magma. It is a very dense stone that is impervious to moisture, resistant to deformation, temperature fluctuations, UV radiation and is great for outdoor use. The service life of granite products is 500-600 years, which is many times greater than all other types of stone.

Convenience in processing and design:

A portrait, drawing and even a picture of any complexity can be easily applied to a granite monument. The mirror-polished black surface of the stone will retain for many centuries the amazing clarity of the engraving, the contrast of shades and halftones. And the experienced craftsmen of the Danila-Master company create models from granite various shapes with skillfully executed lines, bas-reliefs and decorative elements.

Care requirements:

Unlike some other materials that require special annual treatment, care for a granite monument consists only in periodically wiping it from dust. Occasionally, granite is polished, which is optional. Contaminants can be removed with normal soapy water and a soft cloth. The stone does not require other measures.

Production technology of the monument from the company "Danila-Master"

The production of monuments for the grave includes a number of complex production processes. Let's briefly review each stage.

Stone mining. There are three ways to get granite:

directed explosion method (the most "barbaric" and destructive for the stone);

air cushion method (granite is mined by breaking the rock under air pressure);

the use of a stone cutter requires expensive equipment and trained employees. But this is our choice for the reason that it is the most modern and gentle for stone. The output of the monument is of excellent quality without any defects.

Delivery to the place of production.

The advantage of our company in this process is that before it starts, specialists exclude the possibility of low-quality stone getting into production. Those blocks that were injured during mining are immediately rejected. Transportation of granite is carried out by special transport and is carefully controlled in order to eliminate the risk of damage to the stone.

Granite processing - includes a few additional steps:

a cut is a cut of a block into individual slabs of a certain size. Only professional equipment allows you to do it right, preserving all the beauty and integrity of the stone;

grinding - used to remove roughness, scuffs and irregularities from the surface of the future monument. This stage is realized by special diamond discs, which have a very high price;

stone polishing - this procedure achieves a unique gloss, which is famous for a granite monument. In our company, granite polishing is carried out in 11 stages, which gives the stone a noble appearance and luxurious mirror shine;

shaping- the masters of the figurative workshop embody the most daring ideas, decorate the monument with various bas-reliefs and tops.

Engraving, drawing portraits and inscriptions. Danila-Master can offer this service in various ways:

sandblasting method- suitable for symbols, inscriptions and simple drawings;

clients who prefer hand drawing portraits can use this service at any office of the company.

Incredible Facts

Scientists have evidence for the existence of life after death.

They found that consciousness can continue after death.

Although this topic is treated with great skepticism, there are testimonies from people who have experienced this experience that will make you think about it.

And although these conclusions are not definitive, you may begin to doubt that death is, in fact, the end of everything.


Is there life after death?

Dr. Sam Parnia, a professor of near-death experience and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, believes that a person's consciousness can survive brain death when there is no blood flow to the brain and there is no electrical activity.

Beginning in 2008, he collected a wealth of testimonies about near-death experiences that occurred when a person's brain was no more active than a loaf of bread.

According to the visions conscious awareness lasted up to three minutes after the heart stopped, although the brain usually shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds after the heart has stopped.

You may have heard from people about the feeling of separation from your own body, and they seemed to you a fabrication. American singer Pam Reynolds spoke about her out-of-body experience during brain surgery, which she experienced at the age of 35.

She was placed in an artificial coma, her body was cooled to 15 degrees Celsius, and her brain was practically deprived of blood supply. In addition, her eyes were closed, and headphones were inserted into her ears, which drowned out sounds.

Floating over your body she was able to oversee her own operation. The description was very clear. She heard someone say: Her arteries are too small"and the song played in the background" Hotel California by The Eagles.

The doctors themselves were shocked by all the details that Pam told about her experience.

One of the classic examples of a near-death experience is the encounter with deceased relatives on the other side.

Researcher Bruce Grayson(Bruce Greyson) believes that what we see when we are in a state of clinical death is not just vivid hallucinations. In 2013, he published a study in which he indicated that the number of patients who met deceased relatives far exceeded the number of those who met living people.

Moreover, there were several cases when people met a dead relative on the other side, not knowing that this person had died.

Internationally Recognized Belgian Neurologist Stephen Loreys(Steven Laureys) doesn't believe in life after death. He believes that all near-death experiences can be explained through physical phenomena.

Loreys and his team expected NDEs to be like dreams or hallucinations and fade over time.

However, he found that near-death memories remain fresh and vivid regardless of the elapsed time and sometimes even overshadow the memories of real events.

In one study, researchers asked 344 patients who had experienced cardiac arrest to describe their experiences within a week of resuscitation.

Of all the people surveyed, 18% could hardly remember their experience, and 8-12 % gave a classic example of a near-death experience. This means that between 28 and 41 people, unrelated to each other, from different hospitals recalled almost the same experience.

Dutch explorer Pim van Lommel(Pim van Lommel) studied the memories of people who survived clinical death.

According to the results, many people have lost the fear of death, become happier, more positive and more sociable. Virtually everyone spoke of near-death experiences as a positive experience that further influenced their lives over time.

American neurosurgeon Eben Alexander spent 7 days in a coma in 2008, which changed his mind about NDEs. He claimed to have seen things that were hard to believe.

He said that he saw a light and a melody emanating from there, he saw something like a portal to a magnificent reality filled with waterfalls of indescribable colors and millions of butterflies flying across this stage. However, his brain was disabled during these visions. to the point where he shouldn't have had any glimpses of consciousness.

Many have questioned Dr. Eben's words, but if he is telling the truth, perhaps his experiences and those of others should not be ignored.

They interviewed 31 blind people who had experienced clinical death or out-of-body experiences. At the same time, 14 of them were blind from birth.

However, they all describe visual image you during your experiences, whether it be a tunnel of light, deceased relatives, or watching your body from above.

According to professor Robert Lanza(Robert Lanza) All possibilities in the universe happen at the same time. But when the "observer" decides to look, all these possibilities come down to one, which happens in our world.

Survivors of clinical death say that they saw the light at the end of the tunnel, said goodbye to relatives, looked at their body from the side and experienced the feeling of flying. Scientists cannot understand this, because the brain almost completely stops its work in this state shortly after the heart stops. It follows that in a state of clinical death, a person, in principle, cannot feel or experience anything. But people feel. Collected stories of people who survived clinical death. Names have been changed.

Novel

A few years ago I was diagnosed with hypertension and admitted to the hospital. The treatment was murky and consisted of injections, systems and various tests, but there was not much to do in the afternoon. There were two of us in a four-bed ward, doctors say that in summer there are usually fewer patients. I met a colleague in misfortune, and it turned out that we have a lot in common: we are almost the same age, we both love to pick electronics, I am a manager, and he is a supplier - in general, there was something to talk about.

The trouble came suddenly. As he later told me: “You spoke, then fell silent, your eyes were glassy, ​​took 3-4 steps and fell.” I woke up three days later in intensive care. What do I remember? Never mind! Nothing at all! I woke up, very surprised: pipes everywhere, beeping something. I was told that I was lucky that everything was in the hospital, my heart did not beat for about three minutes. I recovered quickly - in a month. I live a normal life and take care of my health. But I saw no angels, no tunnel, no light. Nothing at all. My personal conclusion: it's all lies. He died and there is nothing more.

Anna

- My clinical death occurred during pregnancy on January 8, 1989. Around 10:00 pm, I began to bleed profusely. There was no pain, only great weakness and chills. I realized that I was dying.

In the operating room, various devices were connected to me, and the anesthesiologist began to read their testimony aloud. Soon I began to suffocate, and I heard the words of the doctor: “I am losing contact with the patient, I don’t feel her pulse, I need to save the child.” The voices of those around him began to fade, their faces blurred, then darkness fell.

I found myself back in the operating room. But now I feel good, easy. Doctors fussed around the body lying on the table. Approached him. It was me lying. My split shocked me. She could even float in the air. I swam to the window. It was dark outside, and suddenly panic seized me, I felt that I must certainly attract the attention of doctors. I began to scream that I had already recovered and that there was nothing more to be done with me - with that one. But they didn't see or hear me. I was tired from the tension and, having risen higher, hung in the air.

A shining white beam appeared under the ceiling. He descended to me, not blind and not burning. I realized that the ray was calling to itself, promising liberation from isolation. Without thinking, she walked towards him.
I moved along the beam, as if to the top of an invisible mountain, feeling completely safe. Having reached the top, I saw a wonderful country, a harmony of bright and at the same time almost transparent colors that sparkled around. It cannot be described in words. I looked around with all my eyes, and everything that was around filled me with such admiration that I shouted: “God, what a beauty! I have to write all of this." I was seized with a burning desire to return to my former reality and display in the pictures everything that I saw here.

Thinking about it, I found myself back in the operating room. But this time she looked at her as if from the side, as if at the screen of a cinema. And the movie looked black and white. Contrast with colorful landscapes wonderful country was striking, and I decided to go there again. The feeling of charm and admiration did not pass. And every now and then the question arose in my head: “So am I alive or not?” And I also feared that if I went too far into this unknown world, there would be no return. And at the same time, I really did not want to part with such a miracle.

We were approaching a huge cloud of pink mist, I wanted to be inside it. But the Spirit stopped me. "Don't fly there, it's dangerous!" he warned. I suddenly became anxious, I felt some kind of threat and decided to return to my body. And found myself in a long dark tunnel. She flew over it alone, the Most Luminous Spirit was no longer around.

I opened my eyes. I saw doctors, a room with beds. I was on one of them. There were four people dressed in white around me. Raising my head, I asked, “Where am I? And where is that beautiful country?

The doctors looked at each other, one smiled and stroked my head. I felt ashamed for my question, because they probably thought that I was not all right with my head.

So I survived clinical death and being out of my own body. Now I know that those who have gone through this are not mentally ill, but normal people. Without standing out from the rest, they returned "from there", knowing such feelings and experiences that do not fit into generally accepted concepts and ideas. And I also know that during that journey I acquired more knowledge, comprehended and understood more than in my entire previous life.

Artem

- I did not see my body from the side at the time of death. And I'm very sorry about that.
At first there was just a sharp refracting light, after seconds it disappeared. It was impossible to breathe, I panicked. I realized that I was dead. There was no appeasement. Only panic. Then the need to breathe seemed to disappear, and this panic began to pass. After that, some strange memories began of what seemed to be before, but slightly modified. Something like feeling like it was, but not quite with you. It was like I was flying down some space and watching slides. All this caused a deja vu effect.

In the end, the feeling of being unable to breathe returned again, something was squeezing my throat. Then I started to feel like I was expanding. After he opened his eyes, something was inserted into his mouth, resuscitators fussed. I was very sick, my head hurt. The sensation of revival was extremely unpleasant. In a state of clinical death was about 6 minutes 14 seconds. It seems that he didn’t become an idiot, he didn’t discover any additional abilities, but on the contrary, he temporarily lost walking and normal breathing, as well as the ability to ride a bem, then he restored all this for a long time.

Alexander

- I experienced a state of clinical death when I studied at the Ryazan Airborne School. My platoon participated in reconnaissance group competitions. This is a 3-day marathon for survival with exorbitant physical exertion, which ends with a 10-kilometer march in full gear. I approached this last stage not in the best shape: on the eve I cut my foot with some kind of snag while crossing the river, we were constantly on the move, my leg hurt a lot, the bandage flew off, the bleeding resumed, I was in a fever. But I ran almost all 10 km, and I still don’t understand how I did it, and I don’t remember it well. A few hundred meters before the finish line, I passed out, and my comrades brought me there in their arms (by the way, participation in the competition was credited to me).

The doctor diagnosed "acute heart failure" and began to revive me. I have the following memories of the period when I was in a state of clinical death: I not only heard what others were saying, but also watched what was happening from the sidelines. I saw how something was injected into my heart, I saw how a defibrillator was used to revive me. And in my mind, the picture was like this: my body and doctors are on the stadium field, and my relatives are sitting in the stands and watching what is happening. In addition, it seemed to me that I could control the resuscitation process. There was a moment when I got tired of lying around, and I immediately heard the doctor say that I had a pulse. Then I thought: now it will be general construction, everyone will tense up, but I deceived everyone and I can lie down - and the doctor shouted that my heart stopped again. Finally I decided to return. I will add that I did not feel fear when I watched how I was revived, and in general, I did not treat this situation as a matter of life and death. It seemed to me that everything is in order, life goes on as usual.

Willie

During the fighting in Afghanistan, Willy Melnikov's platoon came under mortar fire. He was one of thirty who survived, but was seriously shell-shocked. He was unconscious for 25 minutes, his heart did not work for about eight minutes. What worlds did he visit? What did you feel? Willy Melnikov did not see any angels and devils. Everything was so fantastic that it is difficult to describe.

Willy Melnikov: “I moved in the depths of some bottomless-endless essence, matter, comparable to Stanislav Lem's Solaris. And inside this Solaris I moved, keeping myself as such, but at the same time I felt myself a part of it all. And I heard some languages ​​that I had never heard before. Not that they were heard, came from there - they lived there, and I had the opportunity to breathe them.

He continued his journey and reached a mound of unimaginable height. Behind it stretched a space of indescribable depth. There was a great temptation to break down, but Willy resisted. Here he met strange creatures that constantly changed.

“It was a kind of symbiosis of plant, animal, architectural and, perhaps, some other field life form. And benevolence, and friendliness, such a kind invitation that came from these creatures.

Like many other people who found themselves in a state of clinical death, Willy Melnikov did not want to return. However, upon returning, the 23-year-old boy realized that he had become a different person.

Willy Melnikov today speaks 140 languages, including those that have disappeared. Before he experienced clinical death, he knew seven. He did not become a polyglot overnight. He admits that he always liked to study foreign speech. But I was very surprised when the first post-war years inexplicably remembered five dead languages.

“It is amazing that rather exotic languages ​​of the native inhabitants of the Philippines and the Indians of the Americas “came” to me. But there are two more that I still haven't identified. I can speak, write, think in them, but what they are and where they come from, I still don’t know.”
