Airplane Fuel Tank Near Death Experience ~ Joseph Banks ~ ETE Episode 121

In 2011 while working inside of an airplane fuel tank I became unconscious. It had been but a few moments after blacking out that I realized I was in big trouble, a voice inside of me reminded of all the safety training I had taken to be in a confined space. As a result, I used all my mental strength to become conscious again, which I did and got out of the tank on my own. However, I became unconscious again at home, but this time, and a day later, I only woke up because someone told me to come back.

Ever since that day things changed significantly. It started with what is called sleep paralysis (SP) then it progressed into out of body experiences (OBEs) and with some dedication to face what was happening to me in a nightly basis, I left the fear behind. At that moment I was welcomed into another realm. In this new phase, I was taken at first to learn compassion, patience and in instances, to deepen my own understanding of humor. And in contrast, to learn to witness other’s actions without any reservation or judgment.

The learning, I realize, never stops and it expands into the interpersonal realms where all is intrinsically connected and yet experienced in a way so vast that it is pointless to try to understand them with the mind, they are intended to be felt. And all of that with the purpose of maturing and evolving souls leading ultimately to complete freedom and the becoming as one with the One play writer.
