I assume this would be a case of channeling.

In the fall of 1989, my father had entered the hospital for open heart surgery. All the members of my family eccept for myself had visited with him just before the surgery. I arrived later and the waiting went on for 16 long hours. By 11:00 that evening the procedure was complete but NOT with great success. He was in a very shakey state.

Hours passed and unable to rest, I put my mind to work on billing for graphic work I had completed. At 4:00 a.m. I suddenly had a strong urge to be at my father's side. I packed up my things and rushed from the hospital cafateria up to the intensive care unit. Up to this point, my father had not surfaced from the coma like state that he had been in since the surgery. I entered the room and called to him. He opened his eyes for a moment and drifted off again. I was more at ease and returned to the waiting room where my family slept. I found a spot, settled in and slept for a few hours.

When daylight came, the waiting continued. Reports indicated that his vital signs were falling to a level at which organs and brain cells were beginning to detiriorate. The machines were persistant and continued to push air into his failing body.

As we waited and consoled each other, I again got the same urge to go to my father. When I got to his side, the nurse told me that his eyes had stopped responding to light. I asked (much to my suprise!) if that was an indication that he was brain dead. She said yes. More words came out of my mouth, NOT MY WORDS, they sounded like my fathers words! "Well then you find that doctor and tell him to tell those people so that they can get on with their lives!

Dad passed away later that day with the help of his loving family who would not allow him to be tethered to this life by a machine.

To this day I am certain that my father spoke through me!
