There have been many instances in my life where things were completely out of control and I knew that my inevitable death was at hand...

I been in two auto accidents in blizzard conditions, one where I went sliding off the highway at 70mph at the curve and the car flipped several times, and another where the visibility was less than ten feet and a V-plow appeared in front of me on the wrong side of the road hitting me head on.

I have choked to death

I fell off a cliff three separate times every time expecting to experience death at the end of the fall

I have been flung from a motorcycle directly into the ground and bounced like a basketball and flipped through the air with no helmet or safety equipment on and landed on my feet

I could go on and on, but I dont want to bore you all

I was just thinking, for no reason and the thought just occurred to me out of nowhere.

One of those thoughts where you wonder where it originated, as it had no relation to anything on my mind

to get to the point

my thought was, what if I did die, and when that happened, I re-spawned, so to speak, at the same location in a alternate universe, the one where I did not die.

Cause after all of these accidents and incidents where I was certain death was imminently facing me, I always escaped unscathed.

Falling off a cliff fifty feet, unscathed, landed in soft sand

yeah right...

In all instances?

it has happened repeatedly...

I may be up to my 40th or even 100th alternate universe

am I dead?

this can't be the world I was born into, this can not be the real one anymore

theres a story someone wrote a while back on tumbler where there's kinda a derpy dude. (i'll botch the story because I dont remember it that well)

The Grim Reaper goes to reap his soul but notices the guy dies in a really goofy unusual way, so he lets him live. 200 years later Death is still laughing his ass off everytime the guy goes to die so he lets him live on. The guy acts really confused or oblivious everytime he survives one of his deaths. One day an angel intercepts the dude and says "the Grim Reaper is fucking with you, I just wanted you to know that in case you're ready to pass on" the guy says "I'm not as dumb as I look, I know when he's around, looking at me wanting to take my soul. I like living past my expiration date, I know the only reason I have this lease on life is because I amuse him, but it only works if he doesnt know I know, so I act like he's not there. He gives me extra regenerative properties for the bloody deaths, but give me extra luck for deaths that can only be avoided by coincidence. so I've come back to life and survived many unlikely experiences. I have many goofy deaths planned for the next decade that will look like an accident. If I keep this up I might be able to live another 100 years."

Well, your user name checks out. Poal might not be the best place to vent near death experiences because of the whole Hall-of-cost thing the Ferengi participate in.

I highly doubt you are in an alternate universe. It is funny to think that at the beggining of the universe, when all the atoms decided to disperse and set the course of life for all of time, it would evolve and unfold with such uncanny results. What's happening today was destined billions of years ago. Most people and creatures dont get that many second chances due to the fragile nature of their existence. It might be easier to believe in alternate universes rather than think that this one universe could have such a crazy plan for you.

I believe a mix of things. I believe if there's a God, then He would have been the one that started the universe billions of years ago, probably with a bang. He knew that everything would unfold exactly how it would. But, I believe there is humor and practicality in this belief. For example, the universe in all its complexity and mystery allowed a world to evolve that would let me sit on the computer and say OOGLY BOOGLY DOOGLY. I think we have alot of control over how the world continues to unfold despite it being predetermined that we would feel that way. I really enjoy believing that, makes life interesting.

It's funny to think the universe unfolded to result in someone like me. I have gone through so many wild unbelievable experiences I've recently been accused of being a bot for sharing them.
