Experience Description

It was afternoon and I had a different type of oxygen supply to my body. I lived in a big apartment at that time in a little town with my wife. My wife told me that she would call me every hour and if I did not answer, she would send an ambulance immediately. My mom is not and was never told about this life-threatening event. I was home because I had taken two days off from my work at company (engineering, computer structures), because I began to lose my consciousness to a lesser extent at my work the day before. This day was my first day at home and it was after lunch. I felt tired and smoked a cigarette to ease tiredness. After that, I went to my bed, with a different breath that I was unfamiliar with. I fell asleep and passed away.

Then, I was raised out of my bed. I met a kind of CEO or executive director (like in a company) and others, I was not allowed to see my life review, they scrolled my life review behind me to the left, but I could see the lights from it a little in my surroundings, very kind of them. I got a smile from God a little later.

The thing next was that God and those others disappeared away, and they dragged before me a place, there was a boundary and I got to the boundary I was allowed get a little inside. I saw kindness and familiarity in the most convenient way. There were no humans for me to meet in that world, no animals and no insects, only plants, the green things. There were mountains with snow, pure things, many things to do; I loved the world they wanted to give me, very kind of them. After I had been a little while, there I turned back to my body and life.

I came back to my body in a hospital on intensive care for brain, heart and lungs.

Today I have another work, and I do not smoke any more, I am satisfied with my work and life.
