Chuck M NDE

Experience Description

1) At school, with this guy on my back, his legs wrapped around my torso, holding me in a headlock (it felt like he was trying to rip my head away from my shoulders), I remember getting dizzy and passing out. In a few seconds, I was in tunnel with a bright light at the end. All of a sudden, I was watching what seemed to be an old flicker movie, but it was in color. It was me at that time and in an instant I saw scenes of my life from being an infant in my crib. The next moment I was floating above this crowd that I recognized as the staff and my schoolmates, staff were breaking up a fight and the crowd moved back. I saw me, laying on the ground bleeding from my eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Two of the men picked me up, carried me inside, and laid me on a couch. It was weird; I was watching all this happening and felt that I could just move through walls with no boundaries. One of the staff reached over and closed the room door, which made a loud bang when it shut. I was back in my body to wake up the next morning in a hospital.

2) I had just shot almost a gram of cocaine. Before I could get the needle out my arm, it felt like an elephant jumped on my chest. I fell to the floor and a few seconds later was in spirit body, sitting on the floor, leaning against a wall looking at my body lying there on the floor, waiting and wondering how to stop this abusive behavior. It seems like I laid there for a couple of hours and then I went back into my body and got up off the floor. I have since left Cali, and eventually found recovery.

3) I was riding my motorcycle one afternoon in N.J. when I saw a pickup truck pull up to the shoulder from the right. I thought the driver looked at me and saw me, but he didn't. He pulled out in front of me. Rather than slam into the side of his truck I decided to lay the bike down and kick it away from me. I slid up under the front wheel and stopped the truck on top of me. The driver got out and I asked him to get it off. He climbed in and backed off me, and when he did I felt my chest breaking (like stepping on a package of saltines, slowly breaking). I knew immediately it was bad. I did a body check and I had no visible damage other than my right hand was bleeding. Then I tried to take a breath and couldn't breathe. I remember curling up into a fetal position and trying to meditate to relax to conserve the oxygen in my body. I slid into what felt like a perfectly temperature Jacuzzi, and had the most incredible feeling of love as all things material slipped away and were no longer important. The next moment I was standing there in this beautiful field looking at my mother and grandmother (who have been gone for many years now). They were standing about 40 ft. away from me wearing black dresses and pearls and looked wonderful, as if they were 30, 35, or so. There was an azure blue sky behind them and it was bright, but not eye hurting bright. As soon as I looked at my grandmother, who seemed to have a tear on her cheek, I knew they weren't going to let me stay. My mom then said to me 'You can't stay'. I started running towards them (effortlessly, like I was running on air) and my mom said again 'You have to go back', but I wanted to hug them and kept going. As I got within 5 ft. of them I stopped, and my mom said 'You have to go back, we are not ready for you'. I was turned around and took one step back towards where I was coming from. I heard a woman's voice saying 'We have a pulse, Mr. M you gotta stay with us', and I got pissed and remember thinking 'Shut the hell up and whatever you gotta do because I got nowhere to go'. I woke up six weeks later in hospital. I was on the BIOgraphy Channel telling this story Dec.5th at 10pm,'I Survived Beyond and Back'.
