Experience Description

I was just 8 years old when I was in my bed alone. I saw myself in the bed and could feel that something was going to happen, something that would change my life forever. My perception had changed. I was just under the blanket in the supine position, when I began to feel a form of distortion, a sense of tingling. I move out of my body as if I were inside a shell from which I'm going out. I slid away from my bed and was projected to the top (ceiling). I did not see the outside of my house, but I directly saw a world different from our beloved planet Earth. It was as if I had gone through the room for one or two-meters to a door that didn't open into our garden but directly into a tunnel. Yet, my little body was still under the blanket. The feeling was Wonderful. I could feel whiteness, warmth, love and a scent that I have never smelled on the earth. Within a few moments, I was out.

I was out of my body and I felt very well. I could see a light 'surface' in front of me! Nothing on earth had the same consistency. It was very nice and pleasant and I felt surrounded by so much love. I wanted to remain in the light 'surface' that I perceived as a Tunnel. While I perceived it, I moved further away from my bed and I went into the tunnel. But after a while, something threw me back into my little body and what I heard in my thoughts was 'this is not your time'. I started to feel different pains in my body and I realize that I had come back. The memory of the Tunnel is indelibly in me, I remember everything in detail because I was awake.

I had never fallen asleep during the whole period of the experience. After the experience, it was as if I went into the kitchen to get a glass water, I remembered everything that clearly. My fever had risen and I was just going without wishing to return to Earth. I feel personally marked by this event. It is only the first significant experience that I remember in detail. In the years after this experience, amazing things followed, some of them less fantastic but all-important. I struggled with myself for many years. Upon waking every morning, the first thing I did was look at my body and every time I said, 'I'M STILL HERE IN THIS BODY' with a sense of 'I WANT TO BE IN THE WORLD OF SPIRITS, OF THE SOULS.' I do not know what to call it because it only changes the consistency and the relationship with the things that surround us. Anyway, today I say, 'If it had not been for that experience, maybe today I would have been one of many people who fight for the flesh, for the power and the pleasure of HAVING instead of BEING. I prefer to love with the knowledge of this experience that I bring with me since over 35 years. I AM A BODY, AN ENTITY, A 'DECLARATION OF INTELLIGENCE'. I'm not just a physical body. I'm an Entity housed in a heavy, physical body. Our dear human body that we love so much and sometimes we do not consider it. It is with us throughout the period of earthly life. For this reason, I believe in the spirit, in the soul, in the immortal world. This is only my first spiritual experience.
