while you may be onto to something... there is only one way to find out. I feel like these are dangerous thoughts that should not be taken lightly. there are other ways to experience near death or out of body experiences with out suicide. I think the trick it to get your brain to release the chemical '___'. its in every persons brain and is linked with monks visions after deep meditation, supposedly releases itself immediately after death. some questions its ability to gather and release the soul....
suicide will not allow you to come back and share your experiences and only leaves your friends and family wondering...

Everything that is happening now is a result of the past we created ourselves i see no logic in changing something we ourselves created, it would be like stopping halfway through a painting and changing the foundation color to something more desirable but by doing that the painter has not only created an entirely different painting but has altered the beauty of the painting itself and the effect upon any viewer that may look upon it, a painter cannot afford indecisiveness, what is, must be, from the moment the pencil touches the canvass there is no going back only forward, paint upon paint, brush stroke upon brush stroke, if a painter wanted to achieve perfection he/she might as well leave the canvass blank and empty, But wheres the fun in that?

It a theory that is worth looking in to, I remember reading about Edgar Cayce life and there was one point where he was very likely going to change his destiny in a certain direction. But is was described that a ghost or the image of a man appeared to him and warned him not to engage in the following act. I might be wrong but I recall that it was more than likely ghost of his past self that came to warn him. If this is true, I believe we all get warnings but some of us take no notice of the advice. The advice may be delivered in a wide variety of ways but if we are not in the right state to receive them, we will not heed them. On the other hand, as you mature one must question where this advice is coming from and also sift through it to see if its really beneficial or not. Same way as we should do with advice from people we know, friends, family etc. Not always is their advice beneficial in the least, which I have found out from experience. some people take pleasure in seeing you fall down a hole! I would say its good to trust in yourself and just consider others ideas.Others will be happy to get a joy ride out of being with you, once you understand this you will have to always question or intuitively go through what is offered. Only you can really know what is truly right for you, but be aware that many others are not worried about that aspect. Doesn't matter whether they have a normal body or not. Even you own past self may be misleading. As for suicide its never recommended as being a good path to take. Also take Alice in wonderland she came out better after her talk with ghosts, but she may not have. She could have been so traumatized that she would of leapt in to the destiny they had laid for her.
