Experience Description

I was forlorn in my life and had wanted to die. I was a passenger in a car that was hit by drunk drivers. I recall nothing of my passage through the veil, but have vivid memories of where I went. It was a place, a domain that I knew right away was a transfer station - a place where beings go when moving between realms. It was like a city of crystal structures and verdant green trees and vegetation.

I went into a huge, huge beyond comprehension, perhaps dome-like structure where one would go to meet with enormous beings of light/energy/color to do the life review. I cannot describe the feelings of awe and wonder that I was immersed in.

During my life review, I understood that I had hardly begun to experience what I had incarnated this time to do/learn, and that I had a choice either to go back to my broken body as an adult, or to await another incarnation to pick up where I had left off. I was shown what was going on with Earth people at that time/place where I had just left, and what would be taking place over the next roughly fifty years. I decided that I did not want to do a re-run of my childhood and young adulthood again, and to return to the damaged body.

I returned to the body in the hospital, which had been unconscious for a week. I was told that my mother was by my side. I opened one eye and asked if it would be okay to return and if life was worth living. She said, 'Yes,' and I slipped in and out of consciousness for the next several days, when I began to adjust to the healing process with the body.

This is a time of great transformation - as had been described/shown to me during the life review.

After the NDE:


Was the experience difficult to express in words? Yes What I experienced is difficult to describe in words because even though I can tell the story, where I was, what I did there, what the place was like - I cannot give you the feeling, the veracity of it. It is SO REAL.

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Yes I returned to this body with a full blown psychic intuitive sensitivity - which I spent some years getting a grip on. It was out of control for some years. I had to learn how to manage it.

Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you? For me, it was all about the transfer station/crystal city and the life review process with the ensuing decision to return to this body.

Have you ever shared this experience with others? Yes I first shared with someone who wrote a book of channeled material titled, 'The Law of One'. That was about eight months after the experience. Then, about twelve to eighteen months after the experience I was invited to talk about it as a presentation to about a hundred people. One of the people present came up to me afterward and told me about walk-ins and told me to read a book about it.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? No

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was definitely real Keep in mind that I was in the hospital for a month with massive head injury, brain damage. Then I was six months at my parents' home learning how to function as a self-managing human. I was navigating brain damage dementia. I didn't know how to talk about what was going on with me to anyone during that time. I was in quite an altered state. Very psychic and in and out of normal consciousness referencing.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real The whole experience was very familiar while I was having it. I had done it many times before. I returned being aware that this physical incarnate experience is transitory.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? No. I have written about it in different ways many times. I have talked with people about it over the years. It is a vast subject for me. And it is very simple, as well. The Buddha, The Christ and others have all summed it up in very simple terms. Be here now. Love is all there is. Life is a dream. The vastness. Source is beyond our comprehension.
