Experience Description

The day started out as normal and exciting because it was the first day of summer break. I had planned a lot but as I was forty-six years old, that would be easy for me. The super-mom that I was and who also took care of the farm. My teaching position was being questioned and I had some very rough times but all was smoothing out for now. Except on June 2, my life changed and turned upside down.

I was having strong pains in my chest and just three weeks early, I had entered the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack but to be told it was acid reflux. Again, thinking I was having acid reflux, I just went on picking up things and talking with my younger son and his friends who was assisting me in the classroom. I know that the pain was horrible and I had to stop several times, but when I bent over the trash can and I filled it up with sweat coming down and off my face I knew this was not normal and again the pain. So I went to ask my principal to see what she thought, I must have looked horrible she said you need to go home and rest. I called my older son and he picked me up at school and took me home. My ex-husband called the doctor while I went to the hot tub feeling for sure it was acid reflux, only to have vomited before I got into the hot tub. Now again another sign, but I was not aware of the heart problem then as well. When I got into the hot tub, the pain was so bad I had to get out and go up several flights of stairs to go to my room. I knew something was wrong but did not understand until I went into my bathroom and saw my face pale and my eyes where sunken in my face and dark black circles etched in my face.

I heard a voice that said, 'Dear one, go to the emergency room now!' I had heard that voice about twenty-five years before when I had had a bad car wreck, and I was told not to turn that way. Which I did not listen at all and almost lost my life. This time I heard and followed the directions and went to emergency room. I had a massive heart attack in the emergency room.

That is when I had started my out of body experience everything started slowing down. I heard a voice telling to be still and stop fighting them. But it felt I was inside of myself and I watching everything from my solar plexus. I am remembering now that cannot be possible. I got there in the day but it appeared I was leaving in the dark or at night. I do remember when I came back into my body is when they lifted me out of the ambulance and the wheels of the table I was on hit hard on the hard surface and I came back into my body thinking this is really like emergency room the series on television. However when I crossed over I met the council and God of the Universe. I viewed my life and several events and realized that we are all one with the Universe so when I hurt someone I was really hurting myself and even more so I was hurting every soul in the Universe. I realized I was pure white light and each soul had a different hue, but I could see them. Many times other souls could not make the viewing so they would walk away from the light. Again, I did not feeling worthy. God's goodness over doubt; that is what I was told, to stop doubting myself and know that I am the light of God. I also traveled through the Universe called the wheel of life, God or the consciousness of God was the center and we are all the spokes of the wheel. I felt what God felt and knew what God knew and it is not of this world of man but a different world all together.
