Strange things sometimes happen to people who have been to the next world and returned back. After waking up from a coma, they suddenly realize that something has changed in them. And this is not just a feeling of extraordinary happiness from the fact that you survived. This is different - the discovery of abilities in himself that he did not have before
Having lived to be 51, the Englishman Tommy McHugh only knew how to take part in street fights. During the day he worked as a laborer at the construction sites of his native Birkenhead, and in the evening he went out with his friends for a beer, which invariably ended in a massacre. In 2001, for no reason, Tommy had a stroke. The stroke nearly drove him to the grave. The bully spent a week in a coma in a hospital ward. And then a miracle happened.
Tommy came to his senses, began to recover quickly, and now he is at home, but … suddenly he felt that he saw and perceived reality in a completely different way. In the beginning, Tommy saw that the world was colored. And with what colors it is colored! Such people have never been seen before. And then the former hard worker picked up a paint brush and began to paint on the walls. Soon he realized that he needed another brush - the one with which the artist writes, and other paints. And Tommy began to work frantically. Nobody taught him anything like that.
All this happened somehow by itself. Gradually, all the walls in the McHugh house turned into avant-garde paintings. When there were no free walls left, the newly-minted artist began to paint the ceilings. He decorated every corner with a sculpture of his own making, transformed into something highly artistic even the floors under his feet …
Nine years have passed since then, but the creator that emerged inside McHugh seems to have forever supplanted the former street fighter. The former buddies do not recognize their Tommy. They never cease to be amazed that he "conjures" over the canvas for hours and can recite poetry with inspiration, that he suddenly fell in love with cats and almost cries when he inadvertently crushes some bug. So what happened to him?
Doctors believe that stroke and coma affected McHugh's brain activity and activated special areas of the brain that are responsible for creativity. American neurologist Ellis Flaherty put it something like this: "The injury seemed to open a valve that let light into the soul of this person."
Gallery "Life after Death"
But why do not everyone open such valves? The human brain has always been and remains a mystery. Scientists shrug their shoulders - they do not know what processes occur in the brain when the body is in a coma. Or when a person is undergoing a major operation under general anesthesia. Or goes through clinical death.
Anatoly Nikitin from Dnepropetrovsk nearly died of a heart attack 19 years ago. Clinical death, intensive care, miraculous recovery - and a professional surveyor, like the hard worker Tommy, suddenly began to draw. Now he has more than 200 paintings on his account, and many were bought by private collectors.
And here is the story of another such artist. In 2009, Briton Alan Brown underwent a serious 19-hour operation, during which doctors tried to bring him back to life after a stroke. When he woke up, the 49-year-old patient also suddenly felt a craving for drawing. The nurse gave him a pencil, and when Alan began to slide it over the paper, she gasped in amazement. They were magnificent drawings. Later, experts looked at them and were also pretty surprised. Resurrected Michelangelo? But before the stroke, Alan could not draw at all.

It seems that having collected the works of such artists, it is already possible to open a real art gallery called "Life after Death".
Gifts from the noosphere
The traditional explanation for such transformations is that a person develops hidden abilities that were laid in him from birth, but dormant for the time being. Maybe. But how then can one explain why, after severe brain damage, a person suddenly demonstrates knowledge that he previously did not have in principle?
For example, in April of this year, a 13-year-old girl from the Croatian town of Knin caught a bad cold and suddenly fell into a coma. A day later, she woke up - and spoke to the doctors in pure German. Croatian turned out to be almost forgotten. To talk to her parents, the girl needed a translator from German. What happened to her? Did she know German before her illness? Yes, a little. A young Croatian woman began to study it at school. But the language was difficult for her. And suddenly she "spanked" as if she were a purebred German! Where, from what depths did the knowledge of a foreign language suddenly creep out? Was it laid down in her earlier? No. It turns out that someone put this knowledge into a teenager during a coma …
One of the most unique examples is the story of the now famous polyglot Willie Melnikov. After a clinical death, which he experienced in 1985 after being wounded in the war in Afghanistan, Melnikov received extraordinary learning abilities - “gifts from the noosphere,” as they were called. Willie now knows over 100 languages, including the ancient ones! Moreover, he mastered such wise sciences as astrophysics, virology, entomology.
Who programs us?
Here we come to the main point. So who gives people such gifts and why? And are these gifts? Or is it a program? Now, with the advent of computers into our lives, assumptions are increasingly heard: are we ourselves computers? Yes, we are very, very complex models, and yet, perhaps, we are living machines! After all, the human body is a kind of system pre-programmed for certain processes.
Here a person is born, grows, turns into a sexually mature individual. Then he is given about 20-30 years to reproduce his own kind, and then the processes of self-destruction are turned on, which no one can reverse. The machine organism carries out a program of aging and death.
But suddenly the normal process fails. There is a stroke or heart attack, but after that comes not death, but … reboot! The human machine returns to operation and - by someone else's will - receives new programs. And sometimes extremely difficult.
Lightning struck Nurida Kurbanova from Baku as a child, and she lay in a coma for 40 days. Having regained consciousness, the girl acquired the gift of clairvoyance. At first, Nurida did not recognize her relatives, she asked about some house in a beautiful valley, and then suddenly she spoke in Arabic, and quoting the Koran exactly. Finally, she saw right through the people - literally, that is, she saw their bones and internal organs. And gradually I realized that I saw not just bodies, but their diseases. And Nurida became a healer.
Is this an accident? Or did someone deliberately put these abilities into her? Note, Nurida is not the only one who turned into a clairvoyant, emerging from a coma. But not everyone has these abilities forever. Muscovite Evgenia Komarova, after a coma, also suddenly began to guess people's illnesses and even helped some people to relieve headaches. But there was a second coma - and the abilities disappeared. As if this file had been erased from her memory.
So who is he, this chief computer scientist who cleans our programs? Creator? And where does he sit, pressing the buttons on the keyboard? Maybe he's just playing with us or experimenting with programs? This is a mystery that - in different versions - people have been trying to solve throughout their entire existence. Will we ever find the answer? Maybe there is a chance. But only on one condition - if the Creator himself wants it and reprograms one of us, putting a file with the answer in his head.
