People were upon this Earth and appeared happier and more content although
seemingly living like the Native populations of old. Cities, built by the
Ancient Ones, that were buried beneath the Oceans were now being populated by
the surviving people in this new world. I saw Tribes joining tribes and small
Nations forming, but it was what I didn't see that made my heart burst, there
were no more wars, true peace and happiness had finally befallen on mankind.
Gabriel now tells me that this is His message that I must take back, to let
others know that there is little to fear, for the Earth will go on forever, as
did all the Planets I had visited... "MAN WILL PREY ON MAN ~ UNTIL MAN PRAYS FOR
MAN!"
Remarkable NDE as a result of car crash 42 years ago. This is an

...the
most life threatening was my right shoulder. It had been torn open and was
bleeding profusely. I don't remember the accident, but I do remember seeing my
dad. He passed away June 2002, but that morning I saw him very clearly. He was
standing above me, looking down, and he said "not now little one, we need you
here." There was a bright light all around him and behind him. He was glowing. I
felt very safe and very loved.

Two cars slammed into me
from the side. I hit my head on the steering wheel. Then I saw something bright.
I looked up and saw a bright light and then I felt like I had no pain.
Then I was flying through a tunnel and I kept on seeing flash-backs of my life.
So then I knew I was dead. Then I was standing in a meadow. I looked
around the meadow and someone was walking toward me. When they reached me,
I noticed that it was my grandma. She came up to me and I said to her, "where am
I?" She answered, "you are in heaven, but you are not ready to die yet." I asked
her if I would ever follow my dreams but she said she couldn't tell me and then
she was gone. I started to look for her. I could see flowers all over and
animals where running but then it all started to fade away. I found myself
in the hospital. My mom said that I had died.

At
this point it is confirmed on my EKG reports that I flat lined. I remember
being in a space floating almost I didn't feel my legs. It was dark but there
was a green light in the background, It wasn't a brilliant bright light it was a
soft green. I saw three silhouettes, I didn't recognize who or what they were
but they spoke to me and said "you can come with us or you can stay" I remember
getting really mad because I was so young and there was no way I was going to
let myself die. I remember thinking of all things I didn't want to give up like
the sound of ocean waves and thunderstorms, even the taste of hose water when I
was a kid. I thought about my family and The smell of campfires. I wasn't ready
to give that up. I remember knowing that my life would be different from that
point on and knowing that physically my life would be challenged but that I made
the decision to live. Someone else at that point told me "no matter what happens
in life just go with it" just roll with the punches, life isn't that serious
"and it will all make sense in the end".

I had died three times
in the Saint Mary's Hospital of Yakima Washington.
I had ninety
percent bodily injuries and was reported that I some how had gone a quarter of a
mile falling down and getting up with this pelvic bone its self broken and the
L-4 and L-5 area vertebras completely smashed in my lower back area... Soon as I
had entered this tunnel of light its self here immediately. I had a pulling
sensation on me what told me was the hell and fire pit pulling at my sole till I
had done some quick and tall praying to god not to let me die here. Then that
pulling on me stopped right away and I was pulled further down this tunnel where
I saw my grandparents at and a rev war battlefield.

This
is my perception of what happened when I arrested. If you can imagine a huge,
tall smoke stack (no heat or fire thank goodness - just a feeling of being in a
tunnel) and you are at the bottom facing upward. It is dark all around you
except at top of the stack there is a bright light in the distance. You are
rising rapidly up through the stack moving towards the light. There is no fear
in your mind at the time, just an awareness of flying toward the light. I
remember the light as being white and bright. As I reach the light I seem to
pass into a state of awareness that I have now transitioned into a room "filled"
with hospital staff. I look to my bedside and the nurse has tears in her eyes.

I was
walking underneath a multiple-story building that was being built. They were
working on the second floor. As I passed underneath, one of the steel poles used
to hold up the walls slipped out of the men’s grasps and fell. It smashed me on
the head and knocked me unconscious. Those who saw it said my head slammed into
the pavement pretty hard as well. As soon as my vision faded to black, I
saw these strange beings. They were on a landscape of white and seemed to be
made of fire. However, something about them was rougher and scarier then fire.
They were screaming as I was falling, a terrible sound, and they were throwing
blood everywhere. The blood became an ocean. The fire beings remained until I
came to with an oxygen mask pressed over my face.

One
of the things that were impressed upon me was a different view of religion. I
sensed that I was given this because of dissatisfaction of the power that gave
it to me. Religion was created to teach humans the basic laws of Nature or God.
God being the intelligent being that he is; understood that humans in different
Society’s, needed different instructional manuals (so to speak). i.e.
French, English, Spanish, Hebrew, Islam, Chinese, etc, God knew you can’t
explain to a Jewish person in Chinese why he should not eat pork. I felt that
the fighting between religious groups was very distasteful, and that man was
using religion for his own personal gains of power. Massive power in the hands
of a few seemed to be one of the major issues of my enlightenment. This is was
what came across to me while in the light.

A
skier came off a ski jump at a fast speed, screamed "watch out", & crashed on
top of me. I remember feeling incredible pain everywhere, and then, 'it stopped'
just like that. My last thought was "So THIS is what it's like to die...."
and I became this 'head'. Not a weighted down body, more like a light, free,
thinking, silent-talking (no words spoken, but message understood), head.
I went 'up' until I reached this white world. All white with a brighter white
'hole-like' opening off in the distance. From that hole, while I was 'stuck' as
this 'head' just able to watch, two figures slowly came towards me. They were
dressed in long white robes, including hoods that covered their identities as
they held their heads downward while they walked. When they were within 10 feet
of me, they both looked up to reveal themselves as my deceased uncle John (whom
I LOVED!) and my grandmother behind him. I was SO EXCITED to see my Uncle
John.

The
nearer I came to this light, the lighter the burden that was on me seemed to
become. When I got to the light I reached into it with my right hand
first, and it was pleasantly warm - in contrast to the tunnel which was cold as
ice (I was sweating anyway). As I stepped through the light everything
became very bright , airy and wonderfully beautiful around me, and I lost the
burden that was previously threatening to crush me. I felt happy and free,
as if I was lying in a fragrant meadow with a slight breeze on a warm summers
day. In the next moment I was lying in my grave, I could clearly see the
walls next to me.
NDE with a twist, but the description of the quick change to the grave
is closer to a dream-like state such as ICU psychosis.

I’m rocketing through the stars and behold the
beauty of this known universe, but maybe not that known. I am following the
shooting stars surrounding me, are they all dead souls heading for the unknown,
never mind. I don’t want to go backward, leave this for a life of questions and
loneliness, pooh! It’s not worth. I am dashing, when all of a sudden I feel
something, someone who holds me back. I hear a voice telling me not to proceed,
it pulls me by this light string trailing behind me since I entered this new
world. I look back and see that entity, calm, faceless, with womanly ways, who
tells me: “Wait, what are you doing? You can’t decide yourself the time
when you leave, you have a mission to fulfill, no way they will let you leave
that world this way. You have to go back and do what you have to do.”

Then
very quickly I started moving toward the sky. It seemed the further I went, the
faster I was traveling. The stars seemed to moving very quickly past me. And
then I saw a bright light. The light I saw was one that could never be
described with words. It was not like any light I had ever seen here. If there
was a light here as bright as the light I saw that night it would surely be
blinding. But instead, this was the brightest, softest, most white, peaceful
light I have ever seen and have not seen anything close since.

Next thing I knew, I was
being pulled with a force like a hurricane or tornado and was trying to hang on
to the ceiling with my nails, both with my feet and hands. I was being
pulled towards the wall facing me, and when I came close to there, I saw this
most beautiful, rotating light, like that of the universe, in fact, it moved
like the universe. It had life and knowledge and it felt like a loving
parent beckoning me. Coming close to it, gave me the most warm, loving feeling,
and I came close to it numerous times, but somehow knew, that if I went through
that light, there was no coming back. So even though the feeling was
indescribably beautiful, I had too many things to accomplish and the desire to
do that made me fight to get back into the body and that was no easy task.

Instead of restricting the mysteries of love to psychological or philosophical
studies, science will someday discover the all-powerful force of love and
measure it as they now do electricity, gravity and geo-thermal forces. When
science discovers the forces of love and learns how to release it from the bars
of the ego, they will have the answer to every question and ill that has plagued
mankind. The love we feel on Earth is limited. We delve it out
piecemeal to a few, with conditions. But on the Heavenly Plains, love is
boundless. Male and female identities are equal because the human sex drive does
not exist to complicate emotions. On the Plains we love our neighbor as
ourselves, because our neighbor is ourselves. Every spirit everywhere, Heaven
and Earth, is equally deserving of our love. I was made to
understand all of this in one flash of communication, in one emotion, from this
entity... The sole purpose of life is spiritual growth, and that, put
simply, is the process of learning the wisdom and power of universal,
unconditional love. All of the dogma of various religions just get in the way by
infusing a judgmental and egotistical brand of separatism that satisfies man’s
archaic and barbaric disposition. In the end, the only things that matter is the
people we help and the people we hurt. This revelation is not fully understood
until we return to the Plains and examine it under the light of absolute truth.

I could see
a big long grassy field. Trees grew at the edge in the distance and I
could hear water from a running stream. A low cobblestone wall separated
two parts of the field. On my side of the wall was a dirt path and didn't
have to walk along it. I heard children laughing in the distance, and they
came into view on the other side of the wall. They were chasing and
kicking a ball with dots on it. They were each getting a turn and the
"game" seemed like everyone got to play. I could feel their joy like a physical
thing, and it was contagious...

One
of the things he was teaching me was that we would contact people while they
were sleeping who were shortly going to die, to prepare them. We would draw them
out of their bodies and have friendly conferences, and they seemed to know us.
They would not consciously remember this, but they benefited from it
nonetheless--and I was also made to understand that this happens to everyone.

It was a very black darkness (It
contrast strongly with the castle in my another NDE). I think the appropriate
words to describe it as the "windmill" and "black hole" visual effect atmosphere
in the software "windows Media Player".

There were extreme disordered noise,
images and feeling. I only say it was chaos. Then I shouted loudly: "Let me go!
Let me go!!" (After the event my mother told me.) It was fearfully terror. My
parents were impressed by my emotion and were scared.

From the Dominican Republic, Original in Spanish,
Translated by Estela.
I
lost consciousness and then I felt like a fight within my body and then an
escape towards a black tunnel, which had bronze color stripes, at an ever
increasing speed. There were unexpected bifurcations inside the tunnel; I turned
to the right, went straight for some time and then changed directions again.
I felt as if I was disintegrating inside the tunnel, i.e. my body lost
consistency and I felt that the tunnel completely wrapped around me. I felt
dizziness and was moving in spirals inside the tunnel. It is something
indescribable. After a blow, I found myself in a viscous sea of mud.
This started
out being a hellish NDE. The tunnel description is fascinating.

Once in ICU
I left my body and went into the corner of the unit and watched as they shocked
my chest. 3-2-1 pop! Again 3-2-1 pop. Then I left the room. No
tunnel. For me it was like going to sleep and going right into a dream.
I went into this room bathed in gold white light that reminded me of a library.
There was this entity (who I believe was my God) sitting at a large table that
looked like an architecture table. I was below the table looking up at
this entity. He looked down at me and said. "What are you doing
here? When I want you I will come and get you. Now go back."
Then he stuck out his foot and kicked me in the head. His foot had a
sandal on it that looked to be made out of an old tire. The next thing I
remember then is looking eye ball to eye ball at the doctor.

At some
point during my surgery, and before the actual cutting began, something happened
to me physically on the operating table and I felt a strong pull upward and the
next thing I knew I was in a tunnel and it was somewhat dark in the tunnel, but
there was a brilliant light at the end of the tunnel, which provided light all
the way down to where I was in the tunnel. The tunnel slanted upward
toward where the light was coming from. The tunnel was made of brown bricks,
about the size of regular house bricks. I got the impression of wetness or
shininess on the bricks in the tunnel but when I touched the bricks, which I did
as I was advancing upwards in the tunnel, they were not wet. I remember as I was
moving through the tunnel I looked up toward the light and I saw the outlines of
several people, probably six or seven people, standing in the light. I
recognized one of them as my grandfather, who had died the year before.
There was one person who was a child of about seven and female. Looking
back on the NDE I began to believe that she was my deceased sister who died
before I was born, but during the NDE I did not know who she was beyond that I
knew she was related to who I was here on earth just as I knew that the others
there in the light were related to me somehow.

Since I
tended to be somewhat mischievous I kept going out into deeper water. I intended
to stop once it was up to my chin area. What I didn’t realize was that there was
an immediate 5 foot drop-off just after the area enclosed by a line with buoys
on it. I went immediately under and was fighting to get to the top. After
thrashing around for a short period I distinctly remember a tremendous jerk
within my mind----almost like something automatically was occurring that was a
natural part of the dying process. And then suddenly I was outside of my body
floating in this semi-conscious state. I was completely content and was not
struggling anymore---in fact, I was unbelievable happy and felt like I was
enveloped by a loving presence. The next thing I remember was my father
dragging me out of the deep end into the shallow area. Quite honestly I was
disappointed because I did not want to leave this state--I was so happy there.

started in the present (that very day) and went backward very rapidly but I was
able to see all the moments of my life, with all the smells and tastes and
sensations. When I arrived at the day of my birth I saw myself
transported, without knowing how, through a tunnel that was spinning but without
making me dizzy. The tunnel appeared to be made of clouds that changed
color the whole time and was immensely wide and long. People were going
through in this tunnel, gliding along, and I was gliding also toward a
light at the end of the tunnel. The light was very golden but was not
blinding. It was an embracing, comforting light. I went along
without understanding why, but I had never felt happier.

of it all I felt like there was something following me and it made me feel like
I was being led to some other place or direction. Then, I was all of a sudden

Once emergency
room staff got into the room, they zapped me a couple times before I came back

started to spin, it was collapsing in a funnel shape and spinning faster and
faster as it collapsed, kind of like sucking everything into itself. Then I was
in a field of dandelions in full bloom with the Grand Tetons in the background.
I remember walking through the field looking up at the Teton range thinking to
myself, "What a strange view this is" as I've been to the Tetons a number of
times and there isn't any field that even looks close to that for many a
mile...I had also noticed all the pain in my body had gone and my vision and
become very sharp and clear, but also I couldn't see much out of the sides of my
eyes, some type of tunnel vision going on.... Then I guess they were
zapping me and I remember my wonderful vision in front of me being
destroyed and the vision was being stretched out of shape and focus, like
stretching a rubber band around your finger to shoot. that kept getting more out
of focus and then I remember opening my eyes with a whole crew of people
hovering over me and a nurse calling my name. I went to try and sit up but they
all pushed me back down and told me to be cool, lay still.

I had been in labor with my son
for 12 hours, and suddenly I could take no more. I remember seeing my doctor
push a red button on the wall, at that time I was in pain but suddenly there was
no pain . (out of body experience) I could see them working on my body. I was
above myself looking down. I then moved away from my body very quickly and
toward a light through a tunnel like area, I felt at peace there could not
really see anything but to hear someone talking to me. This male voice said I
had to go back that I had some things I still Had to do. I said I don't want to
do that. and as fast as I left my body I returned to it . I could then feel pain
. I could see everyone around me in the room . It was weeks before I could
really understand what had happened to me . at my doctors office I asked him
what had happened ,he said my heart had stopped and that I had had a near death
experience. I have had no fear of death since this happened .

I was training
a horse and took a fall while jumping a creek and only remember falling but not
landing. I woke in darkness and saw about 15 feet away from me a circle of
beautiful light with 7 figures that I could not make out. They seemed to know me
and did not talk to me but only to each other and without words. The one in the
middle made the final decision that I was to go back and not come into there or
enter the light. I consciously wanted to go there and begged with my mind to
please take me. The light was glorious! I fought coming back and as I did so it
was with lightening bolt crashes of painful light and I fought it and then it
would go all black and then the lightening bolt of a little reality bit by bit
over and over. It was PAINFUL coming back and I fought it the whole time to no
avail. I saw the trees down the lane from birds eye view and then quickly back
into the spot where I laid. The people were pounding on my chest and breathing
in my mouth and a lady was screaming to call an ambulance.

out a code blue then I went into my experience where I found myself floating or
standing in the center of a giant sphere the color was gray and it seemed to be
spinning at a tremendous rate of speed. I could hear voices but could not find a
way to get to them, there were no doors or openings. I felt as if I were well

few years ago. I was fully aware of what had happened to me, I knew that I had
died on the table and yet I wasn't afraid of it I just kept trying to find a way
to reach the voices that I could hear. When I recovered from it there were

call a tunnel I have concluded is absence to such a degree the mind gives it
texture. I saw the Light approach, I was enveloped by the light and an entity
that was to prepare me for what I call my Interview with a supreme being later
in the Light. This first being appeared to be the Virgin Mary. Only after
asking, "Are you truly the Virgin Mary it instantly manifested true identity. I
was nearly paralyzed with fear until again asking "please, what is
happening to me what is going on here?" From that point all flowed out. Humor

Now for the
experience: The first conscious thing that I remember is that there was a
swooshing sound...very light...sort of like when a parachute opens and the calm
that follows while you are floating to the ground. There was a
light....not blinding but like a soft light shining through a fog. The
feeling was so peaceful...no pain, calm, happy and there were "people" or
spirits of people that I knew. There was a feeling of happiness and
laughter and camaraderie of all that were there. I saw no bodies but I
knew some of the people and felt friends all around me. I can't say who
they were but I know that I knew all of them and that they knew me. They
were happy to see me. I was so very happy to be there. I was
rejoicing and ready to stay. It is at almost the moment that I knew that I
wanted to stay that "someone" said to me..."no, you can't stay...it is not your
time". I argued that I didn't want to go back but the voice said in a

that was warm. I felt totally peaceful there. Then a man in a blue shirt showed
up and picked me up, and we went walking. The further we walked the brighter the
light became, and he did, too. He carried me over a void place, and I was given
to understand that it was hell, because there was no God there at all. It was a
featureless plain that the person carried me through, all the while glowing
brighter and brighter and the road we were on glowed brighter and brighter as
well. Finally we were out of the void spot and the person was so bright I
couldn't look at him anymore. He carried me until we reached an area that looked
like to me three windows onto heaven. There I was given to understand my place
wasn't there yet, and I had to go back to my body. When I did, the pain was

On September 8th, 1999, an online
acquaintance, who used the screen name, The Infernal Emissary, sent me a poem he
wrote. This poem filled my mind with tormented imagery, so I asked him
what the poem was about. He told me the poem was about his experience with
Azrael. I didn't recognize the name, so I asked him, Who is Azrael?
He told me that Azrael was the Angel of Death. I didn't understand this,
because I became fascinated with the name... From this relationship, I learned
Biblical Hebrew and the forms that evolved later. I found almost every one
of his original records, and the records that were written about him, which
first exalted and later, demonized him - each process making it almost
impossible to discover his original identity. I laid these records out in
chronological order on a website and began the process of inquiry and debate
with the current day scholars and religious leaders.

bright light at the end with these dark inhuman creatures trying to grab me
while I was speeding towards the light. I don't know whether I was running
or floating. All I know was that I was going real fast and this voice from
the light was telling me to hurry to get away from these creatures and I was
terrified. When I got through into the light this voice from another light
was trying to comfort me by saying everything was all right now. I
followed the voice up farther and went through a brighter light and I felt I was
closer to the voice. Ahead of me I saw an even brighter light. As I
tried to go through it I was told I wasn't ready to go though there yet. I
was told that I had the freedom to stay there or go back to my body. I

He let me
ask him questions. My only question was how could He give me the parents I
had? How could he forget all about me and leave me so alone to work my way
through those years? What was He thinking!? I have to admit I was
pretty angry. He showed me why I had the parents, childhood and life I had
experienced. I asked Him for it!!! I chose this life because I
wanted to learn those lessons. Everything was so clear to me …I had to go
through it all to learn what I needed to learn and be able to continue my work
here. He never left me alone and I could see in hindsight that he was
always with me. I was making a lot of wrong choices because I wasn’t
listening to or trusting myself. I was spending too much time comparing
myself to others. I was doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing.
I felt like a little mouse in a maze trying to find my way but I wasn’t getting
anywhere. By what I was shown I understood that Earth is
school and when we are done we have a “Life Review” and then we get to graduate
and go back home. The whole experience was amazing because I felt like my
brain had been opened up to the whole universe. Everything made so much
sense. The lesson was so simple …it’s all about love.

While asleep I
vomited and inhaled the vomit back into my lungs. This caused me to go
into respiratory arrest. What I do remember is this: I was in a
very, very black room. Blacker than I have ever seen. I do not think
that I was really conscious of anything for a while, kind of like nothing
mattered. I remember that it was very quiet and peaceful there. To
me it seems as though this were a blank room with nothing in it but me, I did
not have a body. For a long while there was no sound. After a bit I
started feeling uncomfortable (that is the best word I can use). I got it
into my head that "it" was a lie. Whatever "it" is I do not know.
This lie theme became almost a mantra in my head. Then I started hearing
occasional bursts of what sounded like TV or Radio static. Then I started
hearing my name and other words come through the static occasionally. When
I started hearing my name I began to feel as though this might be something
worth listening to. So, I listened. I struggled to listen.
Somewhere around here I became conscious of things. The nurses and doctors
were feverishly trying to get me to respond. I could not talk to them, I

Portugal, Original in Portuguese, translated by Rio
There was a cone
shaped tunnel that had walls made of a kind of gray cloud, pleasant to the
touch. Inside this tunnel it was very clear with a white light. I
slowly went up in the tunnel and when I arrived at the widest part I saw a
lovely green field with a wood fence. Inside this fence were many people.
I recognized one of my relatives who had died and another person who was still
living. When I was very, very near to this fence some of the people joined
hands and from this union emerged a very elastic, enormous gray colored hand
with white rays that pushed me back away. I noticed that some people
collaborated in the joining of hands, and others did not.

My friend, then
in her twenties, had been very ill and was in the ICU when she collapsed. She
says that she suddenly found herself going down a black tunnel. That experience
felt 'interesting' because she said she kept observing what was going on. Today,
in her forties (which is now, when she told me) she is (alas) unable to recall
whatever it was that was going on. She reached the end of the tunnel where
she found a tall/big dark man standing with a lantern. He saw her and said, "No,
no. Not you. Its another Sheila (I am using a pseudonym here), that I am waiting
for." There was no further conversation, nor did she see anybody else.
That was it, the next thing she knew she was awake.

Had a Diabetic coma At work about 10 years ago . I have been a diabetic
since I was 13. I remember talking to People in a Room. I felt relaxed
at peace, the conversation and the people "this sounds strange" I remember
nothing that I can describe. The room appeared surreal brighter than normal.
It was a different place and so real. I remember confusion and movement.
I was yelling "Don’t send me back, I don’t want to go Back ". I awoke in
the casualty department of the hospital with my workmate holding me down.
As Far as I know the coma was not life threatening. What happened during
that time seemed more real than what happened after "recovery".

I could also
feel that my oxygen level was low but I still did not feel the need to breath
like most people would. There was a calmness about me that I cannot express in
words as there are no adjectives to describe this type of calm feeling. I began
to see several doors made of a straw type material. These doors were circling in
front of me like they were on a Merry-Go-Round. These doors were all attached to
each other to form a constant chain of straw doors. As I kept seeing these
doors, the calmness I felt was extraordinary For some reason I knew if I choose
to go through one of these doors I would die and continue to experience this
peaceful calm unbelievable feeling. I don't know who was telling me this but I
knew it was either a relative that had passed or some spiritual message. (I'm

I remember I could see myself sitting cross-legged in the air above me as if on
a cloud, I was smiling down at myself even laughing, then very quickly I was
floating up a tunnel with very brilliant white light at it end, this light
contained overwhelming love, more love and beauty than I can express, and a
presence of Jesus Christ. There was a presence of a life form with me, in the
tunnel guiding me, but this seemed not important at the time. I was then spoken
to by a voice which asked me whether I wanted to finish my task on earth or not?
I was told that my task was to find out about all aspects of love, and as
attractive as the light and energy was, I said I would come back to earth, I had

because they could not shift me to a hospital. The doctor was not too sure
if I'd make it though the night. What I was most aware and awestruck by
was seeing myself in my bed. But it wasn't scary it was peaceful. I
saw my grandma asleep in a chair next to me. saw my parents in the next room
asleep and my other grandma in the 3rd bedroom asleep. The walls of the
house were just not there. I was moving towards a beautiful bright light
just like the moon but sending out long rays of light that I was going
towards...... I kept going higher and higher towards the light saw myself and my
family get smaller and then suddenly my grandma woke up, opened her prayer book
and started praying. Next thing I knew I was getting sucked down towards
my body and landed in with a thump. My parents say I was in a coma for

I felt as if I was being strongly vacuumed (sucked) and moving away from the

drama. Each scene I saw in detail exactly how it happened as I seemed to flick
right through my life story right up to my present age of fifteen. Each scene
was real with plenty of time to reflect, yet it all seemed to take no time at
all. I felt very exposed watching all this, yet the one in white standing next
to me did not appear to judge me - rather I seemed to judge myself. Then I
had a glimpse into the future. I saw myself standing on a stage in front of many
people. Beyond the spotlight that shone out of the darkness I could make out a
sea of faces eagerly looking up towards the stage.

and tried to touch her because her arms were beckoning me towards her, and
finally I touched her and was in the light too. Then my aunt grabbed me out of

As soon as I
went under the water I was separated from my body by about 15 feet. I saw
no lights, tunnels or beings. I was watching myself under and through the
muddy creek water struggling with no fear whatsoever. I could see the
outline of the creek where I went under and even below that, although it was
black. I could clearly hear one of the boys tell my uncle that his nephew
was drowning.

7/10/2005 I started
out knowing that I couldn't wake up, then I was shown all the good things, and
the bad things that's happened in my life... I have a daughter who was just
about 2 at the time, I saw her in a field with me, and a little child
walking with us. It was strange I only had one child. Later after I got
well they said that I would never be able to have children, or get pregnant.
They said it was impossible, I now have that second child walking beside me, he
is my miracle, that I was blessed to see.

7/10/2005 The boat
dragged me about two feet through the water with my board pulling the other way.
What I thought was a vision passed through me. I saw myself under water
being dragged by the rope and my arm being pulled. It was only a brief episode
and the rope finally came off my arm. It was like I was next to my body sitting
in the water watching myself be dragged. Then I came up from the water. For a
moment I didn't know what had happened until I realized my arm was in great
pain.
14 year old with accident in
which he was pulled under water. OBE- saw self. Interestingly, had
vision of himself in hospital bed with nurses around him, and this did not
happen.

7/10/2005 I felt my own
presence. I was floating on a cloud - laying down. I recall that it
was odd because I couldn't feel any pressure points on my body. There was
a feeling of complete peace, joy and love. I felt as if my spirit were
soaring. I recall an inner feeling of brightness and light, although I
don't recall my surroundings. My soul soared. I had no thoughts of
anyone. I only recall wanting to stay in this circumstance forever.
There was an ultimate perfection in simply being there.
Several NDEs associated with
surgery for brain aneurysm.

In

From Canada, original in French translated by Jody with Software.
I
experienced an NDE due complications during surgery. An artery burst when
the surgeon tried to remove an organ, causing a hemorrhage that filled the
stomach and I went into cardiac arrest. I was clinically dead for 8
minutes. They put me on an artificial respirator, drained my lungs and
stomach. Then I was saved and returned to life.
NDE from surgery complications. It appears that she saw herself and heard
others.
