Back in 1963, when coal miners David Fellin and Hank Throne were
entombed 14 days more than 300 feet underground and then miraculously
rescued, the eventual breakthrough best-seller "Life After Life," had
NOT yet been written.

The startling fact was that both miners had been out of their bodies
at the same time, during which they had actually conversed -- and it
had happened on two different occasions.

a crock of bull.

I doubt if Dr. Raymond Moody had even begun compiling his initial
notes in attempting to establish that there IS an existence beyond
our physical death.

I doubt if Dr. Raymond Moody had even begun compiling his initial
notes in attempting to establish that there IS an existence beyond
our physical death.

But back in 1963, Dave Fellin knew for sure there was -- and so did
Lt. Richard Anderson, a physician/psychiatrist who headed the U.S.
Navy Survival team that had interviewed Fellin and Hank Throne in
hours-long detail the very day they were rescued.

The startling fact was that both miners had been out of their bodies
at the same time, during which they had actually conversed -- and it
had happened on two different occasions.

But this posting does not deal with a Life Hereafter. Maybe, someday,
there will be a whole lot more revealed here about the stark reality
of an existence on The Other Side and in another dimension.

But, for now, let it be stated that, while Dave was out of his body an
incredible number of times all by himself, he received quite an
education about his fellow man, the good earth and the glorious
universe.

"I'm only a dumb coal miner," Dave, then in his 80s, kidded me two or
three times about his incredible journeys. "I don't know why I was
chosen to see all of these incredible things."

About eight years ago, I had posted a few intriguing paragraphs from
one of Dave's many letters in which he had made a statement that --
when it was signed and notarized back on Oct. 19, 1987 -- would've
seemed to the majority of people, including scientists, as nothing but
a crock of bull.

Quoting Dave:

``The universe, as we know it, is in itself but a grain of sand on the
ocean floor in comparison to the number of different universes which
exist. In other words, there is no end.

``I repeat: Our known universe, in comparison to the actual size of
all of the universes which reach out in all directions, is as
insignificant as a grain of sand on the ocean floor.

``I hereby testify that this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help me God."

Such a startling revelation, that our universe is infinite, obviously
is far from being proven and probably never will be. But, with the
arrival of the Hubble Space Telescope in recent years, Dave's
statement certainly cannot be dismissed with reckless abandon.

The incredible size of the known universe, thanks to Hubble, keeps
expanding beyond belief, especially when a tiny patch of seemingly
total blackness lights up like majestic fireworks when viewed through
the Hubble in its already-famous "Deepest View" photo.

And now, since you've been patient to sit through all of the
preliminaries, we've finally come to the point where we'll let Dave
answer one of mankind's most time-honored questions:

IS THERE OTHER HUMAN LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE?

Quoting David Fellin once again, this time in a follow-up but
similiarly notarized letter dated Oct. 31, 1987:

"The size of the KNOWN universe -- that is, as far as
present-day science can determine using any of its
modern telescopes or even radio telescopes -- is as
insignificant as a grain of sand on the ocean floor
in comparison to the size of the UNKNOWN universe,
which is out there in space but of which we have no
knowledge at the present time.

"And, even more astounding -- not to me because
I have seen some of it and actually had traveled there
while out of my body, but to others reading this letter --
planets containing human life, such as that on earth,
are COMMON throughout the vastness of not only
the known but also the unknown universe."
