 Soul to Soulmate comes at a time when the world desperately needs more love. This book tells you how to find your soulmate or if you already have a mate, this book tells you how to transform the relationship into one of ultimate love and respect. As with all relationships, nothing is simple. There are three portions in the book to understand the basis of human consciousness and behavior, the psychology of relationships and love, and then how to find your soulmate. The chapter that I was most excited about was the study of soulmates. In the beginning, I didn’t put a lot of credence to the “love at first sight” and thought it was really “lust at first sight.” Just as research on this generally accepted concept proved me wrong – there are many other discoveries waiting for you to learn in Soul to Soulmates! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Click here for more information or to order!
NEWS ALERT:
Evidence of the Afterlife became a New York Times bestseller
eight days after its release! There are only 16 books on
the bestseller list. This is the book that is already
changing the world!
Dr. Jeffrey Long, Jody Long, and Paul Perry have teamed up to write this blockbuster book that became an instant Amazon bestseller after Dr. Long's appearance on NBC's Today Show. You can see Dr. Long's interview by clicking here.
"Evidence of the Afterlife"
is by far the largest scientific study of NDE ever presented,
and is based on researching over 1300 NDEs shared with NDERF. This
book is scientific in content, yet easy and a delight to read.
The people whose stories are presented span all age groups,
races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the
world, yet the similarities in their experiences are as
awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable. Using this
treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence
fails to explain these reports and why there is only one
plausible explanation—that people have survived death and
traveled to another dimension.

NDEs
During Combat- Research Study Needs NDErs for Survey Similarities Between Heavenly Descriptions in A Course in Miracles and Near Death Experiences The Spiritual work A Course in Miracles provides guidance on how to reawaken to an awareness of the oneness of God’s creation through relinquishment of the false self (ego) and remembrance of the true Self (Christ Self). Many of the descriptions of a heavenly state (awareness of the oneness of creation) from A Course in Miracles sound strikingly similar to the experiences described on the NDERF website by those who have had near death experiences and out of body experiences. By Robert Brink. We are still getting a lot of media contact and people who want to connect with NDErs. So, if you want us to contact you, make sure we have updated e-mails. Especially if you have aol.com make sure we are on you approved sender list - otherwise, you'll never get the message we send you.

St. Theresa's Prayer: May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.... May you be content knowing you are a child of the universe.... Let this presence settle into your bones, andallow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is here for every one of us.--Unknown

I was put to
sleep ( then, I saw!
I was above the
operating table!
And my body was floating in a tunnel, at the end was a light that was
growing bigger, I could see shadows at the end of this light and my body
stopped floating, I was content, I felt like continuing on my way! But a
voice told me I had to go back, that I was needed. When I came to a
pain, ripped my body, I felt like I was in a vice and that someone was
pushing on my stomach, and at every pressure, I heard music, a tango,
and with each rhythm of this tango, pain in my stomach and chest!
Then nothing!

After the motor vehicle accident, I was brought to the hospital via ambulance
and have no recall of that. Once I was in the intensive care I went into cardiac
arrest. I seemed to drift away and then suddenly, I accelerated not with my body
but with my spirit or essence up through the ceiling into a path/tunnel that
lead to an all knowing all loving comforting peaceful light. A familiar yet
embracing light. The tunnel/path had silhouettes of beings on the other side of
some undefined boundary I could hear sounds but not intelligible. This place was
free of pain and I felt I was one with all. I had arrived to a place without
pain . My vision was 360 it was profoundly beautiful. I remember stopping I
don't remember how or why. I did Have a past life review. Then I found my spirit
floating at the ceiling of the ICU looking for something. I saw a patient with a
very high fever another with all kinds of head bandages. Then I saw all this
activity around a bed and came over it and it was ME. At that very second I
burst into my body I was back to the awful pain. I realized I had been given a
choice life or death.

I had many questions
after my initial panic had subsided. I wanted to know how the world
worked, was made, what was our purpose in life, why we are on this earth , how
did we come to be here, what was the right religion. They tried to slow me
down, they said they couldn't answer everything for me at this time, they said
to try to explain would be difficult/beyond us as what we humans think is only a
ant-like piece of what it all is/means. They did answer the religion
question. To me they said there is no right or wrong religion. it is what is in
your heart that counts. They also said Our purpose on this earth is to
love. After my review they told me I had to go back my mission in life was
not complete. I had to be convinced and reassured I would come back someday. I
did not want to return to my awful life.

was 10 yr old and swimming in a public pool (couldn't swim well) I got confused
and swam into deeper water and started to panic. Trying to yell "help" I just
choked down more water. It was very scared and exhausted. Then all of a sudden
such peace came over me it was wonderful. I could see my arms floating in the
water...I was above. A lifeguard finally got to me (I don't remember this part)
but when he got me out of the water I could see my body in his arms. My
swimsuit top was pulled up and I saw him pull it down for me. (Later this was
verified).

I
can remember the doctors and nurses that day becoming panicky and someone
calling for a crash cart while they worked on me I never felt any pain as I
floated out of my body I flipped over on my stomach and watched for awhile an
then I noticed this rotating hole in the wall like a tunnel with the most
beautiful blue and whitest light that offered so much peace that I followed the
white light down the blue crystal tunnel then I entered into the most peaceful
green valley surrounded by trees on both sides with the morning dew and fog
still present the vegetation was so lush and the air was of a angelic almost
dreamy like pleasure to breath it was effortless and then my grandfather met me
and I was so happy to see him he had already died, but he was as real when he
was alive I am still in shock today…

I
had a terrible childbirth that should have been a c section, but when the doctor
arrived and realized it was too late, and both the baby and i were already in
danger. It was too late for a c section so they did a quick forceps delivery
and apparently I was 'dead' at the time. I clearly remember floating above and
watching them work on my son to get him breathing, cleaning him up and passing
him from relative to relative while they worked on me, and I kept asking people
to hand me my baby but nobody answered me. The following day they gave me 3
units of blood when they realized they had not given me any transfusions and I
could not sit up without fainting. My mother insisted I had not been speaking to
anyone and could not have seen anyone doing anything to my son because I had
been 'dead' at the time.

I
was freebasing cocaine and seized. I left my body and saw myself seizing
including graphic physical unpleasant visualizations. I was tied up. I was told
as I was unconscious to envision a rope and climb up it. I pictured myself at
the bottom of a deep pit, or black tunnel with a light at the top. I pictured a
rope and physically felt as if I was climbing up it toward the light (life.) I
did also feel the general impression it was a choice to do so. When I reached
the top, I regained consciousness.

I
remember very little since I had a high fever, suddenly I felt my body sinking
into the mattress and closing over me. Then I was looking down on a little girl
lying in a fetal position on her right side. My mother was standing at the
bottom of the bed, suddenly I heard the front door opening and footsteps walking
down the hall toward my bedroom, it was my father who apparently went to see if
he could find a doctor, he told my mother the doctor was unable to visit me and
that he should take me to a hospital for contagious diseases , he had a taxi
waiting for him. I didn't feel sad while looking at the scene, no feeling
whatsoever. I then found myself in a very bright place, outdoors, I remember a
very blue sky, and a large , bright gold gate with extending fence as far as I
could see. There was a table in front of me with two people standing behind it,
they looked at me then down at the table and told me I couldn't stay. There was
no question about my destiny, I had no choice, and I understood.

I
just kept wanting to tell him that "I'm fine... I'm fine.... I'm fine"..."I'm up
here", but he never looked up . It was frustrating that I couldn't tell them,
because I thought if they knew I was fine, they wouldn't worry about me down
there anymore. Then as he was slapping me, I started to move slowly towards my
body. I remember like it was today that I said "No.. No.. NO.. many times", but
you can't really talk. I was going back very slowly and all I could think of
was "NO". This may sound crazy, but as I got down to the floor, I actually laid
by myself head-to-head and toe-to-toe and 'slid' back inside. I remember it so
well and then I woke up as he was yelling my name.

I felt myself immersed in an absolutely unfamiliar space. I recall a
great clarity, where there was no light, but where I was the light. I
could not hear music, but I was the music. Nor did I perceive harmony
and peace, but I was exactly those things. The overall feeling was of
being part of a Great Whole, where what existed was the Universe without
stars, but where everything was light, joy, and love.

that my parents had mistreated and neglected me, I still don’t know how I came
up with such precise words, he said he understood why I felt like staying, he
told me I had to protect my big brother and a little sister yet to be born.

I moved to Florida when I was 22 to
help my parents through a divorce. I was having difficulty finding a
job and applied just about everywhere I went. I finally took a job
waitressing at a Bennigan's even though I had been offered the job there
two weeks prior. I rejected it then because the manager said they were
not very busy and he couldn't offer me a lot of hours. However, it was
the only thing available after endless searching and something kept
telling me to go back. It was as if I were being "called there" and
perhaps that is why I could not find another job. . . .

I've known my soulmate almost my entire life. A
young man that used to sit behind me in Elementary School (3rd Grade to
be exact) would look at me and say "you're gonna be my wife one day" of
course he had no clue what a wife was...In short, we lost contact for
over over 30+ years. He looked for me, found me, and we're getting
married this year. I am completely in love with him and am happy that he
never gave up on his childhood love.

In
March 1984, I was six months pregnant, and awoke with severe pain in my leg. In
preparation of going to the ER, I began to feel faint, and felt like I was going
to pass out. I recovered within a few minutes, and my husband quickly drove to
the ER. While in the ER, I was lying down, and began to feel faint again. The
ER staff quickly wheeled me into an ER room where they began to frantically
"work" on me. During this time, I could hear them say, "We're losing her and
the baby's heart rate is dropping." A nurse also apologized to me as she told
me that I was going to feel tremendous pain while sticking a needle in my wrist
to take blood and measure the oxygen level. Despite all the frantic comments,
and people rushing about, I felt nothing, but pure peace and no pain, and felt
like I was floating. I remember thinking, "I just want to go to sleep." A
voice quickly said, "No, it's not your time."

I was bleeding profusely, and the time went very slowly. My BP was being
taken often and going down, and I thought when it hits zero I'm dead. I
had to wait for blood to be matched before going in for emergency
surgery.
They wheeled me out of the birth suite and to the operating theatre, and
it was then I left my body and started to float. The ceiling disappeared
and I was looking at myself being wheeled along on a trolley from a
great height down what seemed to be an endless corridor. I felt
extremely calm, and found the whole experience wonderful and life
changing. I kinda plopped back into my body when the anesthetist started
giving me an injection.

Things went dark and I had a sensation of floating but seeing nothing. I
was very afraid and then I heard/felt a Presence. This Presence was
telling me (not necessarily with words?) that everything was okay and
not to be afraid. The level of Peace and Comfort of this Presence is not
describable. After lots of this 'support' I realized that I recognized
this Presence. IN fact this Presence was closer - more connected to me
(and had a history with me) than any 'relationship' in my life. Again -
not describable. But I do remember thinking at first when I realized I
recognized the Presence - 'Oh...it must be my Grandfather' (who had
passed away about 3 years earlier and the only person close to me that
had died). But I quickly realized it was not my Grandfather...nor any
human being I had had a relationship with. In the first few 'moments' it
seemed I was trying to make sense of recognizing this Presence? This
Presence continued to comfort me and assure me that everything was okay
and that it was going to be wonderful.

It was the
fourth day following the initial infarction and, as I understand it
after the event, the plan was to do a balloon angioplasty the following
day. I was alone in my room and suddenly there was the appearance of a
figure in bright light at the foot of my bed. It was so bright it
awakened me. The figure approached the side of my bed and took my hand,
he then said "it will be alright." After that I next remember being
awakened in the cath lab after the procedure was over and, indeed, it
was alright. I never feared anything in this and I never feared it
afterward. Since then, I have had five stents implanted and an Implanted
Cardio Defibrillator (ICD) placed in my chest. But I have never felt any
fear at all. I know that whatever may come there is more than this
earthly life.

Suddenly, it was like my body was physically lifted out of the water and was now
standing on solid soil, and saw my mom and dad playing in the water, not
noticing that I had almost drowned. But at some point after this I had a
remembrance or a knowledge of being in heaven before I was ever born and being
offered a selection of a time to come live on earth. I chose the time after WWII
because I thought it would be a great time to live. I had the sense that there
was another with me, very close to me that was also given this opportunity and
chose an earlier period where that person's life would be during the 50's and
60's, primarily. I clearly remember this occasion of choice and it was not a

Coming to after tonsil surgery, I felt sick and vomited blood. I was taken back
to surgery; while being taken back to my room I went through a tunnel with a
light at its end and came out to a beautiful scene. I was suddenly aware of two
friends who had passed recently. They were asking (beckoning) me to come over.
I didn't hear voices but I heard them. I must have known what that meant
because I said I couldn't come now because I had three little kids at home who
needed me. One of these friends was the husband of a girlfriend who died in an
accident after 3 months of marriage. The other was in the Air Force whose plane
went down in the English Channel. He was one of my husband's boyhood buddies.
They were telling me to cross over - no sound (like mind reading). It was
tempting, but I told them I couldn't come now, because I had three kids at home.

Next I remember moving, flying very fast, like thru a tunnel. I saw a
small light in the distance that quickly became big and enveloping. I
felt a sense of peace and love and still no pain. I felt I was enveloped
or sitting with something wonderful and it must have been God I guessed.
I felt there was another entity, another creature of light nearby who
communicated with me somehow, it seemed like wordless telepathy. It
asked me if I wanted to go back, I didn't really, not feeling like this.
But I did select to return. The being let me know that I could return,
but there would be pain all my life. I recall that he asked me again, a
second time, and I made the bargain. Immediately I returned to regular
consciousness in the hospital bed and was hit by unbelievable pain for
the first time. I woke in my body looking up and felt for the first time
pieces of broken teeth in my mouth. Pain was back.

I remember my ex partners hands round my neck as I was in a standing
position and slowly started to slide down the wall as I lost
consciousness. then he was gone and I was stood in my own head although
I couldn't actually see my feet in my head I was aware that I was out of
my body looking down at my own body but standing not laying prone. my
body lay crumpled on the floor. I was wearing all white clothes in my
new state. I looked left to the front door trying to get my bearings,
not understanding what I was seeing, then looked right to the back door
that was open from where my ex partner had run thinking I was dead. I
had an unbelievable feeling of warmth and love. I could see the faces of
my children and dead parents - everybody that was important to me kind
of scrolled in front of me. I felt so calm and I didn't want feeling to
end. I was worried about leaving my children behind and that they had no
one to care for them - I think I said "my kids". this timeframe was
guessing about 1-2 minutes from seeing myself to the end when I suddenly
awoke laying on floor where I had collapsed thru lack of oxygen.

I viewed myself (out-of-body), lying on a stone pedestal in a warmly-lit
cave. Although not even knowing why I was in this position, having no
memory of the accident, I thought to myself, "Do I really want to go
back to that crap?" I answered "No", and the voice of my maternal
Grandmother, nothing visual, just her very distinctive voice, to whom I
was close, responded, "Scott, you've got to go back!" I walked through a
void, came to a singular white light, hanging adjacent to a black,
seemingly felt-covered garage door...with no windows or handles. My
perception is that I spent about a total of 2 minutes at this door,
turned perpendicular, walked away...and woke up to Dr. K!

then looked out my side window and remember thinking "I'm going to die
now" right before hearing an awful screech. (the metal of the car
dislodging before the semi's tires spit me out back across traffic end
over end. At the time I had this thought It felt like large hands were
laid on both my shoulders from behind, almost in a comforting manner,
and I felt the most amazing sense of peace come over me. I knew I was at
the end and I was okay with it. I didn't have flash backs or really any
time to think of what I was leaving behind. I let out the most relaxed
sigh of my life and it was like I slipped out of myself into a
comforting darkness. I still tell people to this day that it was the
most peaceful moment of my life.

Then almost instantly, I entered a state of complete calmness, I
realized I was dying and wasn't afraid of it in any way. I started
reflecting about my family and that I would miss them and that this was
such a silly way to die. I seem to be just entering a peace yet I was

then I was above the bed looking down in the dimly lit room at my mother

looking very tired. The next instant I was outside looking down
from above at my house. I slowly started to move higher, away from
my house looking back as the house grew smaller. At some point I
stopped ascending and as I hovered there I was aware that I had no
physical body and there was no sound. It was as though only my

this is what my house looks like from high above.

Floating so it seemed, completely aware what was happening. Although I
could see nothing I could feel every part of my body down to my waist.
Although in the dark I seemed to know which way was forward, backward
and to my sides. In essence gravity and three dimensions seemed to still
be in play. I noticed an utter peace and feeling of non-concern and was
of a blissful state I will never forget. I was fully aware what was

was total blackness… This is my experience. People that have death or near

hanging and going wide open. I remember them asking for blood and
hanging that. I could not feel any of this and did not have the severe
pain in my kidney area. My mother came in the room and I remember
thinking how beautiful she was, and how well dressed, but how awful the

I had been
taken to an ambulance after struggling to breathe for quite a while- it
was getting impossible to breathe and I knew I was dying - I expected
everything to go black but suddenly, (and this apparently happened after

sort of light we are used to - wonderful patterns and golden lights
enveloped me, and at the same time I was enveloped in the most
incredible knowledge of unconditional, benevolent love, which was

in hospital, after being on a ventilator for two days.

Everything I
seen from here on was from a birds eye point of view. There where two
men I did not know, one told the other the boy is drowning and pointed
to my body. And man just jump right in to save me. I just kept floating
up towards a blinding white light. The feeling was so amazing. Like I
did not have a care in the world.
I felt like I was made out of energy and air. I rised up my arms and
hands so I could see them. They had a very slight glow to them. Not
flesh, but energy and air like. But not see through. My arms still had
hands and fingers. I opened and closed my hands to make fists. At this
point they had pulled my body out of the water and laid it against a
tree. Upon seeing my body laying there. I started to hate not
being in my body.

I
was three years old. I was sitting in the back seat of my dad's car and he was
driving down the road. I was just sitting there, minding my own business when
these hands pulled my soul out of my body. I was high in the sky and Jesus was
there next to me. Suddenly I heard this very deep, pulsating vibration, it was
kind of spooky, but somehow I sensed that God was somewhere out there. I told
Jesus I didn't want to stay and talk, I needed to find the source of the
vibration. Jesus wouldn't let me go and explore. Instead He was telling me
things. Basically He said that the next several years of my life would be
horrible. He was preparing me for what was coming up. He gave me advice. I
don't remember anything He said, except pretty much that life would be Hell.
NDEs at age 3-5 due to abuse.

Arriving there I first saw someone that looked a little like me and when I asked
who this person was I was told it was my brother. At that time I never knew I
had a brother that had died. Soon we were joined by two others that were
introduced as another brother and sister, a set of twins that had also died. I
met and saw many of my blood line down trough the ages. When I was told why we
were writing I demanded to see Jesus. Jesus asked me to return to my body
because my family needed me. I argued a while but Jesus promised me an
additional 10 years to my life and that he would watch over me all the years of
my life if I would return. Still objecting he instructed that I be shown what
would happen if I did not return. When I saw the vision of my father being taken
to jail and my mother in a casket I was devastated. Then Jesus allowed me to be
shown the future of the world. Wars, strife, no rain, death, earthquakes, etc.

When my son was born, I lost a lot of blood, and I felt my heart stop.
It's strange to describe but the closest thing I could think of to it is
the sensation of not being able to breathe. I felt my heart stop and I
lost consciousness, then I felt myself rise up, and I was looking at
myself. I could hear the doctors and nurses calling me and I could see
my husband and my new baby. My hubby was looking so helpless. The room
looked slightly different, like it was hazy. I keep yelling "I am here,
I am right here" but no one could hear me, finally they gave me
ephedrine to get my heart going again and I felt myself plunge back into
my body and take a breath, like being underwater and coming up for air…
I felt my husband's feelings, and it made me realize how much he really
loves me. It has made me love him more.
NDE due to blood loss during childbirth. (JL note: the drug given was
most likely epinephrine, not ephedrine).

I had a
motorcycle accident when I was 19 years old. I don't remember anything
after being struck by a automobile. I found out later a few details
about the accident. I ended up with a broken femur, torn quad muscle on
the other leg, my helmet cracked and I had trauma to the head. Also
sustained amnesia for 10 days. While
in the hospital, I had an experience that I couldn't explain at the
time. I thought it was a dream. It was the only thing I could recall
during the amnesia period. I was on a bed, lying face up, so relaxed,
no pain whatsoever. I started to rise up off the bed, peaceful. Saw a
beautiful light all around me, going up like a tunnel. I heard music
being played by two angels. Harps were strumming. Finally I heard a
voice asking me "Are you ready"? It was a male voice, pretty deep. I
remember saying "No, I'm not ready". Right then, I started on a descent
back to a bed. I just remember, no fear, the most peaceful state ever.
Beautiful, calming music.

The strangest thing that I recall (as if it happened yesterday), was
that although these medical people were suddenly working frantically to
revive me that I had no concern at all for my well being as I knew that
I was ok throughout the entire episode. I found myself suspended about 4
feet or so above all this activity and immersed in bright light beyond
me, but, somewhat equally as bright to my sides as well. I was very
much at peace and was dumbfounded about what all the confusion was on
the medical table (upon which I was physically laying), below me. I
distinctly recall my thoughts of " well if you doctor's would just do
this (or that) that I would in fact be fine. Of course I have no medical
background but at that moment it was clear to me what they were doing
wrong.

It was 2:30 AM when the heart attack hit me, I was transported to the
hospital ER, in there by 3 AM, there were about 6 ER people working on
me, I was in an out of consciousness the whole time, all of a sudden
everyone was gone and there was this bright, bright light ( all I could
think of was from what I heard about the bright light that this was it )
so I said out loud "OH SHIT" than one of the nurses that was standing
next to my head said to me WHAT and I came back to consciousness and
could see everyone again. They prepared me for a catheterization and
ballooned me and inserted a stint. The nurse told me what I said and I
remembered the light and told her that's what I was making my remarks
about, thinking this was it. We all laughed and she said I might want to
rethink my last words.

I was driving a single cab truck and was rear-ended at 55 mph. My head
hit the roof of the truck two times before hitting the back window 3
times, shattering that window completely. I was in and out of
consciousness on the way to the hospital and woke up 3 hours after
arriving to the hospital. The only thing I remembered for my NDE was
there were 2 or 3 hooded shadows facing me, one was trying to touch me
and I kept slapping at whatever he was trying to grab me with. It didn't
look like a hand but more like a hooded sleeve. The weird thing about
my NDE is that I was GIGGLING while trying to slap it away, when I think
I should have been scared!! I wasn't scared though. I couldn't get it
out of my mind afterwards and was very depressed for months that I was
met with a hooded creature.

Upon passing out in shower I fell forward and struck my face between
the eyes on a small retaining wall between the shower and bathroom
floor. I experienced a view of myself from outside of the shower on the
bathroom floor looking back into the shower at myself laying there. As
I looked up I could see an image of an individual in a glowing gown.
The image was slowly raising upward. As I panned up further I saw a
very bright silver/metallic like button in the middle of the chest of
this robe/gown. The robe/gown was lightly illuminated and the button
was laser like in the center of chest. I noticed that as I panned up
further the image had its hands stretched out to the sides with the
palms up. The final pan upward I saw myself with a smile on my face. The
image continued to rise and was extremely peaceful. Immediately I
experienced being above my prone body looking down at my self laying in
the shower.

Then I experienced darkness and then proceeded to the indescribably
bright light. The scene was a pastoral setting with brilliant colors
but not distinguishable as flowers or objects. Approaching me were
beings that I can only describe as individual entities that appeared to
be bright, not earthy beings, familiar but not identifiable to me. They
welcomed me and the light presence gave a feeling of love and peace and
knowing that I have never felt before. The communication was not in
words but in thoughts.

I was on the passenger side of a car when it was hit on the freeway in
Atlanta Georgia. When I saw the car front end about 2 feet away
everything positive in my life ran thru my brain like a high speed
camera. The next thing I could remember was that I was an entity in the
sky. As the entity I had no thoughts about the actual person who was in
the accident. The feelings I had of the entity was that it was powerful
and somewhat all knowing. Even though I turned into this entity; I felt
no connection between who I am as a human and who the entity was. I came
to upside down on the drivers side of the car.

A routine lump removed from my breast, I had a reaction to the drug and
lost blood pressure, I was aware of the doctors and nurses working on me
at the time, I had a warm feeling and saw god. it was not a face only a
bright, bright light. I asked god if I was dying, and when he only held
me and did not answer me I knew that I was not going to die at that
time. it was the most comforting time I have ever felt. I was not afraid
in the least, I had no desire to go, but on the other hand no desire to
stay. I saw one of my children and my dog who were at my home at the
time. I was told that it was all caused by a reaction to the drug used
to put me under for the operation.

Without warning or anticipation of the automobile accident in which I
was a passenger, I found my self in a void; complete darkness. I had no
sensory feed back: complete silence, darkness, no smells, no feelings
and yet a very strong awareness of only myself...as though I was
watching myself from a close distance. My body was perfect, undamaged. I
was overwhelmed by the total aloneness and had but one thought: this
dark place I am in cannot be heaven and, therefore, I must get out.
Since my consciousness and body had been separated I could not move my
body. All that was me was this very powerful consciousness that could
will things to happen. At that moment I awakened not knowing where I was
or what had happened… Panic. This was a place that was foreboding. I
wasn't suppose to be there. I had to escape. I had NO sensory feedback…
It's life changing and a conformation that God is with us.....all of us
and that we have more power over a bad situation than we think we have…
I have a personal relationship w/God. I'm not afraid of Him anymore!

They put me on a ventilator and a medical induced coma. I was near
death, but not officially dead. I knew I was dying and was fighting to
stay alive. I remember just feeling tired of fighting. I was half out of
it all the time I guess do to the medicine to keep me in a coma. All of
the sudden my alertness was greatly heightened and I was on an elevator
going up. The doors opened and there were some people there. I didn't
know them but I had a certainty that one of them was a relative of mine,
he was in charge of my entire family line. There was another person
there that was a person in charge. I was given the choice to stay on
earth and live, or the suffering could end and I could go to a very
comfortable, pain free, place. I thought about my children being left
without a father and profound sadness settled over me as I knew that I
would have to come back if it was up to me.

This is how mom
related her experience to me:
She felt like she was in a tunnel. At the end of a tunnel was a bright
light. She kept moving toward that bright light. Once she got to the
bright light, she felt a presence behind her and knew it was Jesus. In
the light, she saw her father (my grandpa) and his brother (great uncle)
sitting at a table. (They both had preceded her in death in the early
1970's.) She looked at grandpa and said, "Dad, I want to come with
you". Grandpa turned around and spoke to someone - whom mom knew was
God although she could not see him - and when he turned back to her, he
said, "It's not time".

During my surgery, I awakened and was floating. I could see myself near
the ceiling of the surgery room. I was pleased with my appearance and
youth. I entered a tunnel near the side of the surgery room ceiling
very cautiously, but kept one foot at the outside of the opening. I
only wanted to look in. I looked up and saw a light at the end which
was very soft and moved back and forth. Some electrical currents ran
through it and it was somewhat milky in appearance. It was as if some
forms of life were in the currents. Something was communicating with me
and asked me if I was ready to come all the way in. I said no. I
wanted to go back and raise my two sons until they did not need me
anymore. I wanted to become a better person. I made a promise to be a
good mother. The light assured me that I was loved and I was sent back
into my body to fulfill my purpose.

I remember hearing a loud crack. A bolt of electricity jumped from the
loose wires dangling from below the bridge to the lightning rod I was
holding in my hands. The massive amount of electricity entered my palms
and with full force picked me up and thrust me into the air. The energy
of the lift pushed me like a rocket, up thru the atmosphere and into the
extremely bright light with eyes wide open. The air felt clean, warm,
and light with no downward gravitational pull. The time from the initial
electric shock to the bright light was (this may sound crazy)
instantaneous but not a a hurried pace. I felt an immediate attraction
and curiosity about this state of where I was, and wanted more. The
soothing mesmerizing beauty of the light captured my soul and gently I
floated higher and higher. I drifted with purity, fully trusting,
completely engrossed, full of energy, clear thinking and more alive and
aware then at any time in my life.

find the edge of the deep end when I slipped and went under the water, I
tried to grab a woman's swim suit, she felt it but seen nothing. I
blacked out.....When I come to I am floating above the pool with a
spirit or ghost beside me. I ask it why no one is helping me ( I
can see everyone around my body and hear everything they are saying,
still 32 years later like it happened today) the being floating with me

About 7:00 pm, I was about to cross JP Rizal to the other side of the

drizzling, I had to cover my head with my black jacket. Suddenly, I
heard a loud screech of a braking van and before I could react, the van
hit me on my side and I was thrown about 3 meters and was unconscious.
I saw a bright light and had fast flashbacks of the faces of my offices
at PNB. Then I woke up with people helping me go to the hospital just

There was construction on the interstate, and I found myself frustrated
because everyone was passing me. I thought "Don't they know they are
supposed to go slow in a construction zone?" All of a sudden, I was
taken out of existence. It was as if I were not on this planet, didn’t
exist, whatever you want to call it - I was not a part of the life
zooming past me on I-85. I had no vision whatsoever. I heard the
flutter of wings, like the sound of a flock of birds taking off. I
looked to my right to see what the noise was. I saw about thirty to
forty angels descending from the sky. They descended so smoothly. They
were all talking amongst themselves, so I couldn’t understand what they
were saying. It was like when a crowd of people are talking, and you
can’t make out what they are saying because too many people are talking
at once. Their magnificence was like nothing I had ever witnessed.

sign and hit my car broadside on the drivers side front third of the
car. I remember hitting the brake hard. I then felt warm blood running
down my face. I thought I was dying and said a prayer asking God for
forgiveness. It was at this time that I noticed that I was floating
above my car a few feet. I remember vividly saying to myself this must
be what dying is all about. I was feeling EUPHORIC, it was an absolutely
incredible feeling. I could see myself in the driver's seat, bloody
hair, floating higher yet, with people gathering around the accident. I
was no longer a few feet above the car. I was more like 50 or 60 feet
above the car and it was at this point that I noticed that I had no arms
or legs and I could not see any other part of my body, but my thinking
was very clear and my feeling still EUPHORIC. It was the greatest
feeling I have ever experienced in my entire life.
