Silvia B Possible NDE

Experience Description

In that moment, my whole life with every single scene that it was composed of passed by very quickly. I couldn't remain in any scene for more than a fraction of a second. My attention was directed towards a very white and brilliant light. I wanted to go toward that place. I felt attracted to it - I felt a strong attraction to the peace and light. It was an experience that the years haven't allowed me to forget. It was extraordinary.
