1781.  Randy S NDE English expanded version 12/15/2008 I was pronounced dead to my family when the doctor tried again and I started crying… I remember the very bright purple and white lights.  I felt that I was leaving home.  I wanted to go but again, I didn't… I went from the light into my body… I was coming from a place where time did not exist.
Wow!  Apparent NDE at the time of his own birth, due to complications during his own birth.

1744.  Kristy C NDE. English expanded version  11/16/08  I remember being pulled backwards and when I turned I was in an earthy tunnel and a door was before me that opened into a spectacular light. The light was brilliant, but it did not hurt! As I passed into it, it glowed with warmth, love, knowledge, & understanding. Not just my own knowledge but knowledge of everything complete understanding, collective but separate. Everything made sense. Everything was more vivid the colors were brighter & deeper, everything was tranquil and at peace the moment I crossed into the light. I was now standing in a lush rolling meadow, covered with blooms & trees. I felt a presence strong and even more wonderful; I knew my family was with me. The presence had a deep resonating voice that touched the core of your soul. I don't remember what the voice told me, but the peace & calm seemed to magnify. I remember sitting in the meadow, I was cradling something in my arms, asking to cross a small free flowing stream, and not being allowed, I asked to stay. I did not want to go back.
NDE due to complications during gallbladder surgery.  Interesting in that she had awakening during surgery, then cardiac arrest, then NDE.

1734.  Cathleen C NDE. English expanded version  11/1/08  I knew that He had the answers to all questions so I began to ask Him things I had wondered about the most. Why is there evil? His reply, because there is good. I asked how anyone, being what they are, be permitted to exist in this home of God. He made me understand that He knew everything about me, that I was who I was because He Himself had designed me to be exactly, precisely who I was and that whatever I was I was still His creation, His child and He loved me so very much.
Remarkable NDE due to criminal attack involving strychnine poisoning.  Initial part of NDE in hellish realm.  Exceptional spiritual wisdom.

1717.  Marney S' Daughter's NDE. English expanded version  10/12/08 I am writing for my daughter who experienced a sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 2 years old.  She was resuscitated in a hospital setting using a defibrillator after being gone for at least four minutes.  A few months after being released from the hospital, she told our then 12 year-old daughter, "I'm all better now."  Our older daughter responded with, "You are?  How do you know that?"  Our 2 year-old said, "God told me."  A few weeks later, we were sitting around the campfire as a family roasting marshmallows when our daughter told us, "God came to see me when I was at the hospital.  He carried me up to the sky when the doctors were putting something on me.  He told me I was all better now and took me back to the hospital." 
NDE at age 2 shared by parents when she is age 5.  NDE due to cardiac arrest.

1708.  Stella NDE. English expanded version  10/1/08  From Italy - Original in Italian, translated to English by Amy.   The tunnel was semi transparent and I saw points of light like distant stars becoming rays of irregular lights, like the headlights on a car that is speeding down a curved road. My speed kept growing until the light could no longer reach me and I saw that the tunnel was one giant curve, but a curve that was barely discernible, yet I could feel it. Then I was home. The light surrounded me and I was in eternity, every question I asked had an instant clear response, even if I didn't understand every answer. I was surrounded by the gentle song of many voices and I couldn't understand the song. I walked barefoot in an undulating field on soft grass and not far oak tree stood out, it was more imposing than anything I had ever seen, a brilliant green like life (I could write a whole book about that tree alone but I will stop here).
4 years old. Exceptional NDE. OBE- saw nurse lose ring and told her where to find it. Remarkably transcendent. Profound insights on life's purpose and free will.

1675.  Glauco S NDE. English expanded version  8/17/08  Anyway, I was missing my life and I want to go back. I had flash backs about playing soccer with my friend, being hugged by my mom, the sun the rain, things that made me happy. I also knew my angel did this for a reason because any sane person would not want to go back. I also realize for the first how beautiful and fragile Earth really is. I could sense the earth breathing like it was alive. I could see a light around everything that was alive, trees, flowers, grass, animals, volcanoes and humans.  I sense that humans was in control over other living things, I have the word (aura) stamped in mind ever since. Don't no why but the angel told me not tell anyone and that time will reveled itself. I said "What"?
NDE due to near drowning (under water about 22 minutes) in Brazil at age 8.  3 brothers saw the same angel.  Remarkably transcendent experience.

1671.  Ekaterina A NDE. English expanded version  8/14/08 From Bulgaria. Suddenly, as though I was this man, I was watching the world through his eyes. He had a small woman and eight kids, and the last kid was newborn. He was a poor peasant, who hardly supported his family, but among all peasants he was considered to be in the middle class. His native language was German, but he was also speaking French well. He was living outside of the city and cultivated the earth. I understood all of this when I started watching through his eyes. He went round the hill and in front of him a vast plain revealed itself, in the middle of which was an ugly, gray, depressive city, from our point of view   small. The historical time was the Middle Ages. He reached the city and entered. The picture that I saw from his eyes was so startling, that it can't be seen even in the most bravely staged and realistic Hollywood movie about the Middle Ages.
Exceptional NDE.  Associated with operation for pheochromocytoma (rare tumor) at age 16. 

1654.  Bridget F NDE. English expanded version  7/21/08  At this point a being made of light came to my side.  I was not raised religious nor was I baptized.  I could be wrong but, it felt like what people call Christ.  It was not the Christ we see in paintings or pictures, it was not the Christ we hear about from evangelicals, it was not America's Christ nor any other representation of Christ I have come across.  This was a being so pure and so benevolent and so non-judgmental I could barely comprehend the level of compassion this being possessed in the small yet brilliant light that it was.  Not until it touched me and said "I'll take that, it's for me" and took the beam from me and touched me, was I even able to fathom this amazing love. 
Exceptional NDE due to auto accident.

1653.  Linda G NDE. English expanded version  7/20/08 From Australia I came to understand that we all choose to come to earth to fulfill a plan of some sort or even learn about a particular interest. We choose our  bodies and parents and life plan. May I also add that some people come here for the most simplest of reasons to learn how to play tennis for example or simply for the cake and food, as silly as this sounds our life plans aren't so high and lofty as one might think. I DIDN'T MEET ANY SAVE THE WORLDERS OR ANYONE WISHING TO BE A PRESIDENT. MOST HAD SIMPLE WISHES.  I was also told we could exist on different planes for another lives but our life here on earth is a life purely to experience physical pleasure or pain but to have a physical experience because all other planes we don't need a body as a vessel. I also learnt that this life here is just a drop of water in the bucket of lives in which we all experience, many here on Earth & many in other realms of existence. All to progress and grow in some way.
Exceptional NDE due to accidental drug overdose. 

1645.  Cara NDE. English expanded version  7/6/08  After a craniotomy, the body clinically hovered between life and death for two days. My spirit left the body at that time. I looked down at the body, and although it wasn't a pretty sight, I was not concerned. I perceived it to be a vehicle, which carried me through the earth school. I was in a place of love, kindness, compassion, contentment, acceptance, joy...a place of "knowing". I perceived myself and other beings as masses of energy...all connected and yet separate. There were no body forms, or communication as I know it in human form. There was simply a sense of all knowing. Each and every spirit being was supportive of each other, and I "knew" them, although they didn't have the same forms as when I knew them on the earth school. There were no limitations such as space or time in the spirit world. I was aware of the big picture regarding the past, present and future. I was aware that the earth school experience was one part of my evolution.
Exceptional NDE due to head injury.

1634.  Henry W Probable NDE. English expanded version  6/22/08  The next concept or rule I learned is that God can never be proved by scientific means. To do so would corrupt the environment. It would destroy faith. When we have faith we seek, we learn. If God were to appear before us a huge being at the United Nations. The entire world would believe but live in fear as well. To successfully experience the human existence, one must be physically out of touch with God. You have to learn and seek on our own. To search out the meaning of our own existence and experience here. Faith, is the engine of discovery, without faith we are just like ants.
Suicide attempt.  Profound spiritual wisdom encountered.

1615.  DW Experience English expanded version  4/27/2008 I loved it, but it had loved me first and I loved it for loving me. I wish that I could explain how precious that was to me; To be wanted when I didn't even want myself. I had just killed me. To be told I was not only desired as one to love, but that it wanted me to love it. That I was sought out in such a way by one so loving was more than I could understand. What greater love is there than a love that reaches out to you and says, "I will always love you", then shows you all they are, not knowing if, in the telling, something will make you judge them someone you can't love. It made itself vulnerable to my rejection. How could I not love a being that trusted me with all of it's true self? That being already KNEW me before I arrived there. It chose to love me and wanted me to love it, KNOWING all of it. I wasn't asked to love blindly. I was showed the self that wanted me to love it. It wanted to be chosen by me as one that I would love. It had loved me before I was human, it loved me before I was born, it loved me being back with it, but most of all, it loved that I loved it, too. It was joy filled that I loved it. I was in a state of bliss from the love we shared. So was my new friend, the Divine Loving Being. Our perfect understanding in complete Love was, and could only be, Divine. I was HOME. That is what it felt like, the ultimate homecoming. I was where I was meant to be. I fit perfectly there. I was so glad to be there, loving with that being. "It was where I was meant to be" is as close as I can put it. To be together with that other, loving self was the perfect place for me to exist.
NDE due to suicide attempt.  Note From Dr. Jeff: "This is among the most profound NDEs ever shared.  I encourage EVERYONE to read this."

1609.  Hafur Experience English expanded version  4/19/2008  From Mexico Original in Spanish, translated to English by Rio.  The figure on my right, who was guiding me, stopped and I could not see his face and as though we were at a small, enclosed beach, there was a hill that served as a place for projecting my life from beginning to end several times.  At first rapidly and afterwards more slowly.  It was amazing how my life was shown with events I had completely forgotten about and others that were so insignificant that it felt like I was seeing each frame of the  personal movie of my life on earth. I realized that I understood everything with a great clarity and super-lucidity I had never experienced before.  I discovered that I had personally chosen to take on a physical body and have the life experiences I was having.  I realized I had wasted time in suffering and what I should have been doing was using my freedom to choose true love, and not pain, in all that came into my life.
Exceptional NDE!  She met her twin flame too!

1515.  Mrs. L NDE English expanded version  1/13/2008 I was 2 years old and fell into a creek.  I remember seeing a bright light [cone shaped] and a woman standing at the top of the tunnel of light, she was dressed in white.  I looked down and could see my body floating face down in the water.  I had on brown pants and white shoes and an over shirt.  I thought about many times but never mentioned it until I read about a NDE in a magazine.  I had always known about my near drowning, but none of the details.  I questioned my mother about it, and she confirmed that she had thought that I was dead when she got me out of the water.  I have never been afraid of dying, because of the extreme peace and calm that I associate with the experience.  I realize that I was so very young, but the event is a real as if it happened yesterday.  The woman seemed to draw me back to her, then she just faded into a cloud like atmosphere.
Amazing NDE at age 2!

1506.  Rick R NDE English expanded version  1/13/2008 Then without warning it happened! 'What have you done with your life?'. The voice penetrated my very being! I had no answer! Then to my right I saw what seemed to be like a movie; and I was in it! I saw my mother giving me birth; my childhood and friends! I saw everything from my youth up! I saw everything I had ever done before my eyes! As my life played out before my very eyes I tried to think of good things I had done. I was raised in church and had been very active in church functions; yet as I pondered on this I saw a man in his car that had ran out of gas. I had stopped and given him a lift to a local store about a year ago.  I had bought him some gas as he had no money and helped him get on his way! I thought to my self; why am I seeing this? The voice was loud and clear. You took no thought to help this soul and asked nothing in return! These actions are the essence of good! I saw all the people I had hurt as well and was shown how my actions had set in motion the actions of others! I was stunned! I had never thought of my life having an effect on the actions that friends; family; and others I had met would take! I saw the results of all I had done! I was not pleased at all! I looked on until the events came to an end. Indeed I had done so little with my life! I had been selfish and cruel in so many ways! I was truly sorry I had done so little. Then again loud and clear I heard the voice speak again. 'You must return!'.
What have you done with your life?  This is one amazing account!

1465. Gülden NDE English expanded version  1/10/2008 From Turkey, Translated to English by Aylin.  I felt raising up above my bed, taking direction to a white, very bright light. Meantime, I saw my uncle, who died one month ago, while passing me he said “not yet”.  I was surprised how I understood him without spoken words, but I felt very peaceful. Later  a lady came to me, if I see her now, I would recognize her.  She took me to a wonderful place with mountains and said that this was the place of my life.  The place we went was beautiful, but I said to her that this place is not my life’s place.  Then we came to a sea shore with a little village and she said again that this place was my life, but I don’t know this place and I said to her that this is not the place of my life.  After we travelled some more very beautiful places she said that I was not ready to stay in these places and asked me what I remember about my life.
This is a hot one; A Muslim NDE from Turkey.

1369. Diane C NDE English expanded version  12/14/2007  I first came to an absolutely serene and beautiful countryside.  This is where I saw animals [including unicorns] and they were so beautiful and contented, so full of LOVE.  The grass and trees and flowers were all so exquisite that my mind said so, and in return a vibration of Love flowed back to me from them.  The water was so spectacular that I expressed this in my mind and the waters were living and sparkled back to me with love.  There was melody or music all around, not unexpected and perhaps because I love music so much.  And God has permitted me several times in this life to hear this awesome music, fully more melodic and more beautiful than anyone could write while here on earth.  Just suddenly playing and filling my soul with joy.
Exceptional NDE from Cardiac Arrest.

1307.  Rita B NDE English expanded version  11/10/2007  As I approached this living light, I heard a male voice, very authoritative, thunderous, larger than life say to me, "Are you ready to die?"  I was totally taken aback! I didn't know that meeting with, reaching this, going beyond this all revealing light was  actually a  (death) dying! I immediately found myself, simultaneously thinking and responding, "Ready to die?" "Why must I die?"  I was very scared.  Immediately the "Voice" replied, "You must die, because you have failed to do what you promised us that you would do."  I was even more mystified, confused and unbelievably afraid.  I responded, begging for my life, "I don't remember what I promised, I don't know why I must die, please give me another chance, I don't remember what I promised to do."  The VOICE answered me by stating the following: "You promised us that you would help others.  You have failed to do this."
Two NDEs that happened in India.  NDEr is from India.  First NDE remarkably transcendent and due to operative complication.  Second NDE from near drowning.

1235. Kathi B NDE English expanded version  10/14/2007 So the thoughts came into my head: what kind of form or shape would make you most comfortable. “What do you mean?” I thought back.  Some require me to take the shape of a wise old man, others a woman and still others an animal, all of different races, ages, sizes or species.  What about you?  I thought without hesitation “Human.”.  With that the light began to simultaneously separate into amazing rays of color and intensify into a more solid form.  Once the light reached the stage where it looked like a human form, a rather generic looking cookie cutter shape, like a gingerbread man, I thought, “That is enough, I am comfortable with this form.”  The shape could move and was three dimensional.  It was composed entirely of light and rays of luminescent color emanated from every part of it.  I saw the color again, many years later when I first saw iridescent material.  The feelings of safety, love and peace were even greater in its presence.  We were still communicating through thoughts.
NDE due to near drowning.

1230. Valerie K Other English expanded version  10/14/2007 As I neared the front of the line another soldier grabbed my arm and restrained me just before I reached him. Just then we heard the click. My friend had stepped on a land mine. The force of the explosion threw me backward against a tree. I screamed as blood splattered my body.  The next instant found me again in the doorway of my apt. and I heard the sound of feet running as my friend and the two boys waiting for me came to see what had happened. They found me standing in the doorway with my hands braced against the door jam on each side. I had blood and dirt splattered on my clothes and face and my right shoulder was painfully swollen and turning black. It had been dislocated when I hit the tree.
Among the most remarkable experiences we have received.  OBE/ADC at time of friend’s death by land mine in Vietnam.  Incredibly, she was covered with blood and dirt immediately after this experience, though she was living in America at the time.

1155. Nanci D NDE.  English expanded version 9/20/07 While my friends enjoyed my life review, memories of my eternal life filled my mind. They included hundreds of physical lifetimes, in humans and other species, as well as thousands of what we would call years spent living in what I was calling “Light Being society,” and what might also be called “life between lives.” I was astounded that I could possibly have forgotten all of it. “Knowing” informed me that when a Light Being like me enters into a human as its soul, only part of its total Energy does so. The rest of the Being’s Energy stays in the Light and continues to evolve as it observes the soul part’s experiences. The reintegration of my memories as an eternal being with those of my just passed human life completed my transformation back into my natural state as a Being of Light.
Wow!  Profound! Can't wait to read her book!

1153. Jennifer V NDE.  English expanded version 9/16/07 Then the voice said his nose is cut off his face you will need to go back and help him he is bleeding to death I said no let somebody else do it he will be fine without my help I do not want to go back down there No! The voice said I will tell you what to do you take off his shirt after you pick his nose up off the floor board of the car it will be next to your feet and his right foot place his nose on his face pressing down to stop the bleeding its just blood so do not be afraid I am with you as always (I knew I was never alone from as far back as a child as I could remember) So then Jennifer you will begin to walk him up the right side of the road and a car will come tell the man to take you to the nearest hospital keeping the man calm go to the hospital ECM where you were born you know the way and everything will be alright you must do this understand?
NDE at age 11 due to car accident.  During experience, received explicit information to save another person who was in car accident.

1131. Patsy D NDE.  English expanded version 8/18/07  I turned around and was immersed in light. I was surrounded by unconditional love, and total acceptance. I knew I was complete at last. Never had I felt such safety and serenity before. Suddenly, I had all knowledge. All that I had ever heard or known was swept away. I knew that Christ had not died on the cross and that there is no sin or evil. I knew that I had existed since the moment of creation and that I shall always exist and that all consciousness is in the act of becoming. I knew that I had lived many times in physical reality and I watched those expressions and observed each of them. I experienced what we mean when we say that we have free will and that we choose everything. There are no absolutes. I watched every thought I had ever chosen to its natural end, and each person it had touched.
Amazing NDE from our archives!

815.  Wayne H's NDE. English expanded version  4/2/06  & 8/18/07 The wall beyond my gurney became transparent and I was shown what appeared to be a flowing river. It was silver and shimmering as it flowed. The drops in the river were each a different color yet all flowed together as one body of water. Nothing gave me the impression this was actually water or a river but this is the best descriptive example that can be given of something I witnessed for which there are no words.  The main body of the flow was silvery shimmering lights with different colored drops on the flow. I understood (I use this term because I did not actually hear) the colored drops were the experiences of all who had lived. The experiences existed as separate items yet belonged to the whole. The whole was the collective knowledge of all. I understood there was no individual, just one, yet each experience was individual making up the whole.
A MUST read! NDE from being struck by car as a pedestrian.  Thought-provoking Jesus Encounter, fantastic description of the other side.

1038. Ruud L NDE. English expanded version  3/6/2007 Original in Dutch, translated into English by Wouter.  The first week after the accident they injected me literally full of morphine, to keep me in a sort of coma. Afterwards a doctor and also my parents told me that I had not been conscious for one moment during that week.   The funny part is that I can remember everything that happened at the intensive care. I know my parents came to visit, that my father had to throw up when he saw me, that my mother did not know what to do and could not stop crying.  There was also a nurse that came to sit by me whenever she could manage the time. I knew she was taking courses in surgery assistance. I saw her and her colleagues working the whole week, with me and other intensive care patients. One given moment, I knew precisely what patient was given which medication and what time.
This is an amazing NDE!  It proves that the NDE is not brain chemistry because the morphine did not change his lucidity.  The other part is that what he saw in the out-of-body state was entirely accurate and verified.  That means that the NDE was not a hallucination or figment of his imagination.  The skeptics will be hard-pressed to explain away this NDE.

1036. Darlene K NDE. English expanded version  3/4/2007 I floated up to the ceiling.  Lucy entered the room with the bright rays of sun through the window.  She had no body, like me.  We greeted each other happily and played, spinning and twirling in the air.  It was fun.  When we stopped, she took me up through a dark tunnel with an intense light at the top.  When we arrived, there was no top or bottom.  There was nothing there but love.  It was pure love.  Intense love.  Everything was okay.  Everyone there was okay.  They were all happy, loving beings.  They were expecting Lucy.  They talked with her and laughed with her.  I watched them and felt the love all around me.  They reviewed Lucy's past.  Suddenly, I felt a being communicate, "You're not supposed to be here."
NDE due to smothering.  Interesting encounter in experience with her cousin Lucy.  Later found that Lucy died around the time of the NDE, making this a relatively rare example of a shared NDE.

1011.  Linda S Probable NDE. English expanded version 2/3/07 I did not see the Spirit as I had seen Jesus of Nazareth depicted in paintings, but the innate knowing of my heart remembered and acknowledged Christ. The radiant Spirit was Christ, the manifestation and expression of pure love. Because of my Christian education, I knew no other name to call what I felt as I looked at him.  Others might have called him Buddha, or Yahweh, or Great Spirit in the Sky, but the naming did not matter, only the recognition of absolute love and truth was important. Safe in the gentle yet powerful embrace of his love, I rested, secure that everything was okay, exactly as it was supposed to be.
This is a must read.  Astonishingly beautiful and exceptional experience.

924. Anita M's NDE. English expanded version  8/21/06  From Hong Kong I was drifting in and out of consciousness during this time, and I could feel my spirit actually leaving my body.  I saw and heard the conversations between my husband and the doctors taking place outside my room, about 40 feet away down a hallway. I was later able to verify this conversation to my shocked husband.  Then I actually "crossed over" to another dimension, where I was engulfed in a total feeling of love.  I also experienced extreme clarity of why I had the cancer, why I had come into this life in the first place, what role everyone in my family played in my life in the grand scheme of things, and generally how life works.  The clarity and understanding I obtained in this state is almost indescribable.  Words seem to limit the experience – I was at a place where I understood how much more there is than what we are able to conceive in our 3-dimensional world.  I realized what a gift life was, and that I was surrounded by loving spiritual beings, who were always around me even when I did not know it.
Exceptional NDE due to nearly fatal Hodkin’s Lymphoma (malignancy of the lymphatic system).  From Hong Kong, and a relatively rare non-Western NDE, and the most detailed non-Western NDE we have received to date.  Exceptional insights and apparent miraculous healing associated with NDE.
NDERF INTERVIEW - 1/25/07  Interview with Anita M by Rio Cruz     Forum with Anita M

809.  Brian T's NDE. English expanded version  3/26/06  One example when I approached the boundary. No explanation was necessary for me to understand, at the age of 10, that once I cross the boundary. I could never come back period. I was more than thrilled to cross. I intended to cross but my ancestors over another boundary side caught my attention. They were talking in Telepathy which caught my attention. I was born profoundly DEAF and had all hearing family members, which all of them knew sign language! I could read or communicate about 20 ancestors of mine and others through telepathically methods. It overwhelmed me.
Remarkable NDE!!!  Profoundly deaf from birth.  NDE associated with drowning at age 10.  Communicated telepathically with multiple deceased relatives.

742. Gary D's NDE. English expanded version Versiune in intregime in limba Romana 1/1/06 At that exact second a land appears behind The Guide a beautiful land like no other I have ever seen in my life. I have traveled to many places here on earth but have yet to find a place where the plants and trees glowed like they did in this place. It was like a beautiful tropical jungle I could see birds flying with three distinctly separated tails not like the birds I had seen here on earth. I could see plants and trees that made no sense to me. It was so beautiful so peaceful and very bright, everything was bright and alive. By now I was beginning to understand what is going on here. I know now it isn’t anything earthly that I am looking at or for that, matter experiencing.
Astonishing NDE 33 years ago due to scuba diving equipment failure.  Remarkable for several elements including the observation of a watch he had on during the OBE phase while passing over significant earthly distances.  Remarkable observation of his diving partners of his body’s color returning toward normal while he was under water and not breathing at the end of the NDE.

737. Lou F's NDE. English expanded version  12/25/05  People were upon this Earth and appeared happier and more content although seemingly living like the Native populations of old. Cities, built by the Ancient Ones, that were buried beneath the Oceans were now being populated by the surviving people in this new world. I saw Tribes joining tribes and small Nations forming, but it was what I didn't see that made my heart burst, there were no more wars, true peace and happiness had finally befallen on mankind. Gabriel now tells me that this is His message that I must take back, to let others know that there is little to fear, for the Earth will go on forever, as did all the Planets I had visited... "MAN WILL PREY ON MAN ~ UNTIL MAN PRAYS FOR MAN!"
Remarkable NDE as a result of car crash 42 years ago.

682.  Mary W's Fear Death Experience. English expanded version  10/8/05  He let me ask him questions.  My only question was how could He give me the parents I had?  How could he forget all about me and leave me so alone to work my way through those years?  What was He thinking!?  I have to admit I was pretty angry.  He showed me why I had the parents, childhood and life I had experienced.  I asked Him for it!!!  I chose this life because I wanted to learn those lessons.  Everything was so clear to me …I had to go through it all to learn what I needed to learn and be able to continue my work here.  He never left me alone and I could see in hindsight that he was always with me.  I was making a lot of wrong choices because I wasn’t listening to or trusting myself.  I was spending too much time comparing myself to others.  I was doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing.  I felt like a little mouse in a maze trying to find my way but I wasn’t getting anywhere.    By what I was shown I understood that Earth is school and when we are done we have a “Life Review” and then we get to graduate and go back home.  The whole experience was amazing because I felt like my brain had been opened up to the whole universe.  Everything made so much sense.  The lesson was so simple …it’s all about love.
Profound experience.  Stunning spiritual insights.  A “must read” for anyone interested in NDE.  NDERF defined as a “fear-death experience” with experience immediately prior to physical compromise, but obviously part of the spectrum of near death experience.

687.  Andrew P's NDE. English expanded version  10/8/2005  I am rushing toward the Light, and for some unknown reason I have no fear, and I love the Light.  Oh what a wonderful, beautiful, enchanting, warm and loving Light.  I’m getting closer and closer, it’s as if I’m being drawn into the Light by a gentle, giant magnet.  Closer and closer…  “What now?”  “Where am I?”  I’m inside an immense sphere!  And the inside of the sphere is like an enormous, unending movie screen.  Everything is going on at once, all around me … left, right, up, down … wherever I look I see my life.  I cannot only see it, but I can also hear, feel and experience every event in all of my lives … past, present and future. There is no beginning!  There is no end!  I can observe all of the moments of my lives all at the same time, all around me.  Strange, there is no fear or judgments; it’s just my life’s experiences as they are occurring.  What incredible feelings, I can relive every thought, word, and action whenever I focus on any one of them.  What a wonderful, fantastic, incredible experience being in the Eternal Now!
NDE 50 years ago from drowning.  Truly profound experience.

657.  Nevie G's NDE. English expanded version  7/23/2005  At the point I left my body I was no longer intoxicated, I was completely clear and could see everything at once.  I realized that I was almost dead and became very upset and began to cry for Jesus to help me.  At this moment I was aware of a light enveloping me. I was the light and it was me  There was another Being with me. The Being let me know that I was going to die and I must leave this body for good. I remember arguing with the Being explaining that I didn't want to because it was so hard going through the childhood years and I didn't want to have to go through this again. The Being indicated that my body was severely damaged and I couldn't go back. I became very adamant at this point that God was all powerful and could fix the body. At some point the decision was made to let me re-enter my body on my faith or will, what ever one may call it.
NDE at age 13 due to alcohol poisoning.  Quite detailed.

654. Jaime G's NDE. English expanded version  7/23/2005  I noticed that there was a florescent light that emanated from the top of the room and I started feeling so good like.  I can't describe it.  Love.  Or like the first time you kiss.  Electricity.  Butterflies in your stomach.  Like the best drug.  I don't know how to describe, it felt so good.  I then kind of got a little panicky because I noticed that there was no light source; it was just there.  That's when she [my grandmother] touched my hand that I noticed that I looked down and could see my hand also.  It was there but it looked white almost florescent and she told me that it was all right (all this conversation was in Spanish by the way) and said lets drink the coffee.  I did.  But I notice that it was not hot and had no taste. It was lukewarm; but yet there was steam coming from it like it was hot, but was not. It's like when you are sick and there's no taste; anyway.  I tell her that we<family> think of her every day.  She stated that she knew.  She knew that we loved her very much and she loved us; and then I noticed that the room was dome like.  that in one section the left side of that domed room was like a curtain and I saw my grandfather on my moms side peek though.
A rare Hispanic gustatory NDE; He had coffee with his grandmother. 

582. Anthony M's NDE. English expanded version 3/13/05 Then Jesus told me “this is what your death will do to the people you love.”  And then he opened them up so I could also see their hearts.  I could see my wife Ann, my mother Grace, my brothers Daren and Buvy, my sisters Christie and Diana.  Their hearts were torn and pieces were dripping down.  Jesus told me that their hearts were breaking.  I also saw my stepchildren Nicholas and Danielle.  Then Jesus said “this is what the future will be like without you in their lives.”  I saw my mother with a sadness in heart that just wouldn’t leave. She was saying things like “why my special little baby?” Then I looked at Ann –she never left the house, she stopped eating, started smoking more and most importantly, she never dated or went out again.  Then I saw Danielle.  She was about twenty years old and was getting ready to walk down the aisle – with no one to give her away.  She was so sad.
NDE from accident: was on motorcycle without helmet and was hit by car (flew 76 feet after impact).  Saw many deceased relatives.  Met Jesus.  Was allowed to see several years into the future to help him make a decision about returning.  Was able to see the prayers of those on earth.  Jesus escorted him to hospital at the end of experience. 

577. Richard L's NDE. English expanded version 3/5/05 I looked back at the three people in front of me. These people were ancient. I don't know how I knew that, but I knew that they were "old souls" who watched over my group. We all had "sprung" from them, like children, each going their way yet connected to the source. I felt nothing like judgment of our actions from them. If anything, I felt a kind of amused benevolence from them, like parents watching their children playing. Even at the really bad things we did in our lives, there was no judgment.  The one with the beard spoke to me. "You can ask questions. We will answer them and you will remember. It is important that you do this."  My first question was "Is this heaven?".
An exceptional NDE.  At 8 years old, on bicycle and was struck by car.  Had OBE, could hear and understand thoughts of multiple people simultaneously.  360 degree vision.  Was allowed to ask questions, and remember the answers.  Remarkable spiritual wisdom in responses to the questions.

574. Craig T's NDE. English expanded version 3/5/05  When I was one and a half I became very ill. On the way to the doctors I went into a seizure which trigged cardiac arrest, birth occurred five times total.  I was flat lined for a short time in transportation from one hospital to another.  I had no religious background I was baptized and that was it, I came back talking about Heaven and telling my grandfather he'd be warm there, but I didn't even know what heaven was.  I was drawing pictures saying it was Jesus or relatives I never met.
Seizure and cardiac arrest at age 18 months.  Has no memory of experience, but parents told him after the experience he talked about heaven and drew pictures of Jesus and relatives he never met

566. Joyce H's NDE. English expanded version Versiune in intregime in limba Romana 2/16/05 Suddenly I was in the presence of a Being of Light. I could not see the face, could communicate, but not in words or pictures even; in some connection of oneness. I experience that connection in meditation frequently, but I cannot explain it very precisely. It is beyond words and other kinds of experiences. The emotions are always enhanced. I feel joy so deep that my whole self leaps with gratitude; I feel peace; I feel awe and belonging. I did not have a specific life review, but felt everything about me and my life was known, understood and not judged. I was profoundly loved.
Joyce is an amazing lady who now devotes her life to healing and also has a new book called "From Soul to Cell."  http://www.joycehawkes.com/books.html

565.  William AM's NDE. English expanded version 2/16/05  My senses seemed to all become one sense of presence. Rather than sight or smell or touch or sound. I was simply present and aware. The visual realm began to swirl. I could sense the tree in my front yard and wall to my house as a tunnel formed right through them in which I was drawn into. On the walls of the tunnel there seemed to be spaces that were occupied by events in my life none that particularly stood out or that I recognized as significant relevant to any other. I was more fascinated by the way that they were revealed, than I was in the content of each space. 
This is a must read!  He experienced the NDE in a dream and the actual NDE happened 2 weeks later.  This experience demonstrates the 4D effect of slipping into alternate possibilities of a 3D world.

560. Mark J's NDE. English expanded version 2/13/05 There was something familiar about this "place", as if I had been there before, but more like I had returned from whence I came. Then there was an intense sense of well being, a feeling like immersion in the emotions of love, surrounding from every point. And a sense of belonging, as in one in the same with some divine greatness which binds all matter in the universe. It is very difficult to try and describe the overwhelming feeling of this place. It is vast. I can't find the words, but there is a message which seems to give me the impression, that this place is always here, and is present in all things, and beings. This was the most tranquil and peaceful moment in all my life.  Profound NDE!

404.  Lavette H's NDE. English expanded version 4/24/04 I was amazed at how much more real and vibrant the colors and light around me were. This is real and that body there was just a coat I had been wearing. It felt good to be out of it. I felt free from pain, confusion and all the heaviness of the weight of life on ones shoulders. My entire perspective on life was changing as fast as I could think.  As  I was basking in the wonder of it all the same one who pushed me in jumped in to get me. I watched as she pulled the body to the top of the water. As fast as my self came out of the body, it went back in and I was instantly very angry about it .
Teenage drowning NDE.

253.  Roger C's NDE English expanded version 4/2/03 I went to a dark place and nothing around me but I wasn't scared, It was really peaceful there. Then I started to see the film of my life starting from almost been a baby and coming toward real time... It was so real! I was looking at myself but better then a 3D movie as I was also capable to feel the feelings of the persons I was dealing with. I was feeling the good and bad emotions I made them go through. But I was also capable to see that the more good emotions they where going through because of me, will give me some credits (Karma) and the bad ones will take some of it back... Just like in a bank account but here it was like a Karma account to my knowledge. The more I could get will give me permission to access a better area or a better place somewhere. It was the knowledge I had then.
This is one incredible NDE!  He interacted with the light, felt the great love, and got to explore other planets - one on a higher and one on a lower evolutionary scale than ours!

Joe G's NDE. English expanded version 9/12/04  Then i felt like i was pushed back into a wall and my arms pinned back to the wall.  I felt totally helpless and then i saw what looked like hair ball with shark teeth come at me.  I looked to my right side and saw that the voices were little monsters that were turning into the hairballs and back into monsters.  They were the ugliest looking things i have seen and yet to see.  They looked like snakes crossed with bats crossed with something that had horns.  They had bodies that was like that of a snake and it had wings.  They arms and hands look like those of a bat.  Their faces look like snakes and they had fangs like a bat and a snake.  On the top of their heads they had horns, but not like the horns of a bull or a ram.  They had pointed horns but nothing that i could say was earthly. 
This is an extremely profound NDE in so many ways!  He went to hell, then to heaven.  His sister, Mandy had a NDE a week before he had his NDE.  Talk about a family soul group!

Linda B's NDE. English expanded version After experiencing all of the miracles of this day I would still find my future playing out just as I had seen.  And as it progressed I would know fear, sadness, and lack of faith just as they had predicted.  I would sin and more.  The angels knew this but it took me years to fully understand everything that they had showed me and wanted me to understand.  They knew all of the time that I would not turn into the perfect saint.  They loved me just the way I was.  God loves me always not just when I am obedient and perfect.  What a wonderful feeling that is.  I just have to remind myself that He is here and learn to stop talking long enough to listen for His voice.
This is one of the most riveting accounts that we have.  In describing her NDE, she takes the reader through the emotional gambit.  Truly Amazing and a Great Novel!  (All 35 pages of it!)

James T's NDE. English expanded version 7/13/04 It quickly grew in size as I approached it, and realized that this was the same pure white light I had experienced at four.  It is the most absolute, pure light that never hurts to look at, probably because you’re not actually looking at it with physical eyes, even though the sensation is that of seeing, it's simply a sight of the mind.  It was like a sun or a planet of light until I got close enough to see more detail.  It was at that moment, where seeing this detail, that what could only be described as "all" was revealed, and even that is a poor description of what is conveyed to you.  The detail I can only describe as billions and billions of ‘bit's’ of light both spiraling back to and away from this "body of light", which is simply a more visual description of what we call God.
Two NDEs lead to one of the most profound knowings that are shared in this account!

364. Juliet N's NDE. English expanded version  1/17/04. MultiMedia Presentation   The colors were so beautiful--watching the Light whirl all round me, pulsating and dancing…making whooshing sounds…and being ever so playful at times…then very serious at other times.   Many things would take on a luminous glow--a sort of soft peach color.  Everything was so vibrant--even when I saw deep space!  I was constantly in a state of awe…  There were always beautiful beings round me as well--helping me…guiding me…reassuring me…and also pouring love into me.  I was never alone. 
Another amazing NDE with a core-experience description!

Diane G's NDE English expanded version, Wersja polska rozszerzona 10/13/02.  Suddenly, we burst into the light and a whole new reality was revealed to me, similar to the physical world, but, in this higher vibration, more colorful, more beautiful, more amazing. I saw plants, trees, mountains, lakes, animals, and shimmering crystal-like buildings, some very large and ornate. I saw beings moving about, light beings, going about their daily lives. They don't have physical bodies, but they are distinct fields of energy. They don't walk, they float. They have lives much like ours, but without the struggles and sorrows. They are artists, musicians, dancers, singers, inventors, builders, healers, creators of magical things... things they will manifest in their next lifetime in the physical universe.
Great rafting NDE! A must read because of the vivid NDE descriptions and integration afterwards.

Bill W's NDE. English expanded version 10/29/02 and 11/12/02  The grass was so green it hurt to look at it, and it felt so good!  I could even taste the grass by feeling it, it tasted like watermelon.  Walking on the grass was wonderful – it was an incredible feeling.  The best way I can describe it was, “OH MY GOD! WOW!!!”  The sense of smell was not with the nose.  It was more like it permeated through my cheekbones under my eye, like smelling through the sinuses.  This is one of the most amazing accounts with such detailed descriptions of the indescribable!  This is Bill's first time telling his story and it truly is such an honor to hear the account first hand!  ADDENDUM Experience - one amazing story that happened to him after he told his NDE that will send goosebumps up your spine!

Mari C's NDE. English expanded version 11/11/02 A hazy journey (seemingly short) and I was enveloped in light & exquisite & infinite love. By now I recall this as an ageless soul. I felt as best as I can describe in a state of total bliss, once again there is no language to convey feelings. There seemed to be a collective consciousness who welcomed me but at the same time conveyed the knowledge that I was the one responsible for the decision to stay or go back. I recall these decisions not as a small child but a person with accumulated knowledge to evaluate the choice and make a decision.   This NDE happened when she was 18 months old, with crystal clear memories.  This is amazing because the implications are that the recalled memories could not have been stored or processed in the brain of an 18 month old.  Therefore, the experience would tend to support memories stored in the consciousness that survives the body.
