Experience Description

There was a white bright light, very chilly weather - I lost my consciousness. My body felt very, very, very light and I had a flying experience. The speed you cannot describe in words, there is no stop for a moment. I traveled in a black tunnel with great speed. I had forgotten everything in this world - even my name, husband, and son, home where I reside and time, day, month, and year - nothing is there in my mind. The speed really threatened a lot and a sudden skip and jerk got me back in this world again. After this experience, I become a different personality with no interest in anything in this world. Even now I remain disinterested in life.
