This brings back into question the whole business about different religions/races and how they communicate with what they call God and how they experience God communicating with them. Not all that long ago many more (rather than 'some' more) black people than white were sectioned due to being assessed as psychotic because of this problem. How can you determine whether someone is psychotic or having a genuine spirittual experience. I can't see any clear dividing line between them. There again there have always been people who do die when they say they will. The Inuit used to go out alone when they knew that their time had come, I don't know whether they still do or not - or if they do how the society they now live in regards this. People who are the subject of voodoo or other black magic intended to kill them also die, apparently whether they know about it or not. The danger is that if we are very deeply convinced psychologically that we are going to die we will. The man you attended could have been in that state. I think that you did the right thing. Happy New Year to you.
