During an emergency operation for a burst appendix, she suddenly found
herself positioned as an outside observer in a corner of the
operating-theatre. From there she watched the entire process. 2258.

From Canada. Original in
French, translated by English by Kathy.
At that instant, I felt myself floating in the air, lying
horizontally about three-quarters of the way up, that is to say.. a few feet
from the ceiling. I wasn’t moving at all and none of my senses was
working. I was very content and would have wanted to stay there it was
so peaceful. I was in danger but didn’t know it at all. Also, I
saw a big tunnel right in front of me, very near and it was very very
brightly lit. The tunnel was at least ten feet in diameter and was
just a few meters away from me. The light was very, very intense.
It seemed to have a very thin veil in front of the entrance and there was an
extremely bright light behind it. 2256.

From New Zealand.
I was bleeding profusely, and the time went very slowly. My BP was being
taken often and going down, and I thought when it hits zero I'm dead. I had
to wait for blood to be matched before going in for emergency surgery.
They wheeled me out of the birth suite and to the operating theatre, and it
was then I left my body and started to float. The ceiling disappeared and I
was looking at myself being wheeled along on a trolley from a great height
down what seemed to be an endless corridor. I felt extremely calm, and found
the whole experience wonderful and life changing. I kinda plopped back into
my body when the anesthetist started giving me an injection. 2255.

Things went dark and I had a sensation of floating but seeing nothing. I was
very afraid and then I heard/felt a Presence. This Presence was telling me
(not necessarily with words?) that everything was okay and not to be afraid.
The level of Peace and Comfort of this Presence is not describable. After
lots of this 'support' I realized that I recognized this Presence. IN fact
this Presence was closer - more connected to me (and had a history with me)
than any 'relationship' in my life. Again - not describable. But I do
remember thinking at first when I realized I recognized the Presence -
'Oh...it must be my Grandfather' (who had passed away about 3 years earlier
and the only person close to me that had died). But I quickly realized it
was not my Grandfather...nor any human being I had had a relationship with.
In the first few 'moments' it seemed I was trying to make sense of
recognizing this Presence? This Presence continued to comfort me and assure
me that everything was okay and that it was going to be wonderful. 2254.

After that I was looking down and watching. It was a cold winter day but I
was not cold or warm. I could see them take me from the car and put me in an
ambulance I watch them but was ok and happy but somehow I know I had to
return and I did in the ambulance. I have never shared this experience
before, but it has affected my life more then I realized till now. 2253.

It was the fourth
day following the initial infarction and, as I understand it after the
event, the plan was to do a balloon angioplasty the following day. I was
alone in my room and suddenly there was the appearance of a figure in bright
light at the foot of my bed. It was so bright it awakened me. The
figure approached the side of my bed and took my hand, he then said "it will
be alright." After that I next remember being awakened in the cath lab
after the procedure was over and, indeed, it was alright. I never
feared anything in this and I never feared it afterward. Since then, I have
had five stents implanted and an Implanted Cardio Defibrillator (ICD) placed
in my chest. But I have never felt any fear at all. I know that whatever may
come there is more than this earthly life. 2252.

Suddenly, it was like my body was physically lifted out of the water and was
now standing on solid soil, and saw my mom and dad playing in the water, not
noticing that I had almost drowned. But at some point after this I had a
remembrance or a knowledge of being in heaven before I was ever born and
being offered a selection of a time to come live on earth. I chose the time
after WWII because I thought it would be a great time to live. I had the
sense that there was another with me, very close to me that was also given
this opportunity and chose an earlier period where that person's life would
be during the 50's and 60's, primarily. I clearly remember this occasion of
choice and it was not a dream. 2251.

Coming to after tonsil surgery, I felt sick and vomited blood. I was
taken back to surgery; while being taken back to my room I went through a
tunnel with a light at its end and came out to a beautiful scene. I
was suddenly aware of two friends who had passed recently. They were
asking (beckoning) me to come over. I didn't hear voices but I heard
them. I must have known what that meant because I said I couldn't come
now because I had three little kids at home who needed me. One of
these friends was the husband of a girlfriend who died in an accident after
3 months of marriage. The other was in the Air Force whose plane went
down in the English Channel. He was one of my husband's boyhood
buddies. They were telling me to cross over - no sound (like mind
reading). It was tempting, but I told them I couldn't come now,
because I had three kids at home. 2250.

Next I remember moving, flying very fast, like thru a tunnel. I saw a small
light in the distance that quickly became big and enveloping. I felt a sense
of peace and love and still no pain. I felt I was enveloped or sitting with
something wonderful and it must have been God I guessed. I felt there was
another entity, another creature of light nearby who communicated with me
somehow, it seemed like wordless telepathy. It asked me if I wanted to go
back, I didn't really, not feeling like this. But I did select to return.
The being let me know that I could return, but there would be pain all my
life. I recall that he asked me again, a second time, and I made the
bargain. Immediately I returned to regular consciousness in the hospital bed
and was hit by unbelievable pain for the first time. I woke in my body
looking up and felt for the first time pieces of broken teeth in my mouth.
Pain was back. 2249.

light - then, I felt a Wonderful Love pour over me - I was in ecstasy.

from the UK
I remember my ex partners hands round my neck as I was in a standing
position and slowly started to slide down the wall as I lost consciousness.
then he was gone and I was stood in my own head although I couldn't actually
see my feet in my head I was aware that I was out of my body looking down at
my own body but standing not laying prone. my body lay crumpled on the
floor. I was wearing all white clothes in my new state. I looked left to the
front door trying to get my bearings, not understanding what I was seeing,
then looked right to the back door that was open from where my ex partner
had run thinking I was dead. I had an unbelievable feeling of warmth and
love. I could see the faces of my children and dead parents - everybody that
was important to me kind of scrolled in front of me. I felt so calm and I
didn't want feeling to end. I was worried about leaving my children behind
and that they had no one to care for them - I think I said "my kids". this
timeframe was guessing about 1-2 minutes from seeing myself to the end when
I suddenly awoke laying on floor where I had collapsed thru lack of oxygen. 2247.

I viewed myself (out-of-body), lying on a stone pedestal in a warmly-lit
cave. Although not even knowing why I was in this position, having no memory
of the accident, I thought to myself, "Do I really want to go back to that
crap?" I answered "No", and the voice of my maternal Grandmother, nothing
visual, just her very distinctive voice, to whom I was close, responded,
"Scott, you've got to go back!" I walked through a void, came to a singular
white light, hanging adjacent to a black, seemingly felt-covered garage
door...with no windows or handles. My perception is that I spent about a
total of 2 minutes at this door, turned perpendicular, walked away...and
woke up to Dr. K! 2246.

At the point of impact it was like everything froze. Almost like someone hit
a pause button. I remember looking at the cracked windshield and looking
over to my passenger who had a look of horror on his face. I then looked out
my side window and remember thinking "I'm going to die now" right before
hearing an awful screech. (the metal of the car dislodging before the semi's
tires spit me out back across traffic end over end. At the time I had this
thought It felt like large hands were laid on both my shoulders from behind,
almost in a comforting manner, and I felt the most amazing sense of peace
come over me. I knew I was at the end and I was okay with it. I didn't have
flash backs or really any time to think of what I was leaving behind. I let
out the most relaxed sigh of my life and it was like I slipped out of myself
into a comforting darkness. I still tell people to this day that it was the
most peaceful moment of my life. 2245.

I kept trying to get oriented and kept trying to get air but I couldn't seem
to do either. I had no idea where the others were at this time. Then almost
instantly, I entered a state of complete calmness, I realized I was dying
and wasn't afraid of it in any way. I started reflecting about my family and
that I would miss them and that this was such a silly way to die. I seem to
be just entering a peace yet I was thinking clearly and calmly as I was
bouncing down the river. I almost didn't want to come back. 2244.

Then one night the roaring and the sensation of drowning was much worse and
then I was above the bed looking down in the dimly lit room at my mother and
another lady, with me lying in the bed glistening with sweat and looking
very tired. The next instant I was outside looking down from above at
my house. I slowly started to move higher, away from my house looking
back as the house grew smaller. At some point I stopped ascending and
as I hovered there I was aware that I had no physical body and there was no
sound. It was as though only my eyes had left. I don't remember
being afraid and I thought, so this is what my house looks like from high
above. 2243.

Just after they
smashed my face with a rock, I felt myself raising from an horizontal
position and slowly rising from the surface to an upright position. Floating
so it seemed, completely aware what was happening. Although I could see
nothing I could feel every part of my body down to my waist. Although in the
dark I seemed to know which way was forward, backward and to my sides. In
essence gravity and three dimensions seemed to still be in play. I noticed
an utter peace and feeling of non-concern and was of a blissful state I will
never forget. I was fully aware what was happening to me and then I thought
of my soon to be wife, asleep at Kona Shores waiting for me to come home and
I remember asking myself what she would do now. 2242.

I was in a state of wonderful peace where there was a very bright light
starting out like the top of a huge ice cream cone and ending at a point.
My soul began to move very quickly through the light to the end of the
point. There was a figure at the end of the point with outstretched
arms. All of a sudden there was total blackness… This is my
experience. People that have death or near death experiences may have
different opinions. I only know that I love life in spite of the bumps
and that I'm not afraid of death. I also feel that I'm living proof
that there is life after death. 2241.

The next thing I remember I was looking down at myself. It was like I was on
the ceiling. I could see them still sticking needles in me to start even
more IV's. I saw there were at least 4 bottles of fluids hanging and going
wide open. I remember them asking for blood and hanging that. I could not
feel any of this and did not have the severe pain in my kidney area. My
mother came in the room and I remember thinking how beautiful she was, and
how well dressed, but how awful the camel wool dress she was wearing looked
on her. I have such a clear memory of the shoes, purse, dress she was
wearing. I was devastated at how upset she looked and it was as if I could
feel how she felt. 2240.

I had been
taken to an ambulance after struggling to breathe for quite a while- it was
getting impossible to breathe and I knew I was dying - I expected everything
to go black but suddenly, (and this apparently happened after I had stopped
breathing) I was in a place of incredible light - not the sort of light we
are used to - wonderful patterns and golden lights enveloped me, and at the
same time I was enveloped in the most incredible knowledge of unconditional,
benevolent love, which was sentient. Then things did go black and I
woke up
in hospital, after being on a ventilator for two days. 2239.

Everything I seen
from here on was from a birds eye point of view. There where two men I did
not know, one told the other the boy is drowning and pointed to my body. And
man just jump right in to save me. I just kept floating up towards a
blinding white light. The feeling was so amazing. Like I did not have a care
in the world.
I felt like I was made out of energy and air. I rised up my arms and hands
so I could see them. They had a very slight glow to them. Not flesh, but
energy and air like. But not see through. My arms still had hands and
fingers. I opened and closed my hands to make fists. At this point they had
pulled my body out of the water and laid it against a tree. Upon
seeing my body laying there. I started to hate not being in my body. 2238.

I was three years old. I was sitting in the back seat of my dad's car
and he was driving down the road. I was just sitting there, minding my
own business when these hands pulled my soul out of my body. I was
high in the sky and Jesus was there next to me. Suddenly I heard this
very deep, pulsating vibration, it was kind of spooky, but somehow I sensed
that God was somewhere out there. I told Jesus I didn't want to stay
and talk, I needed to find the source of the vibration. Jesus wouldn't let
me go and explore. Instead He was telling me things. Basically
He said that the next several years of my life would be horrible. He
was preparing me for what was coming up. He gave me advice. I
don't remember anything He said, except pretty much that life would be Hell. 2237.

Arriving there I first saw someone that looked a little like me and when I
asked who this person was I was told it was my brother. At that time I never
knew I had a brother that had died. Soon we were joined by two others that
were introduced as another brother and sister, a set of twins that had also
died. I met and saw many of my blood line down trough the ages. When I was
told why we were writing I demanded to see Jesus. Jesus asked me to return
to my body because my family needed me. I argued a while but Jesus promised
me an additional 10 years to my life and that he would watch over me all the
years of my life if I would return. Still objecting he instructed that I be
shown what would happen if I did not return. When I saw the vision of my
father being taken to jail and my mother in a casket I was devastated. Then
Jesus allowed me to be shown the future of the world. Wars, strife, no rain,
death, earthquakes, etc. 2236.

When my son was born, I lost a lot of blood, and I felt my heart stop. It's
strange to describe but the closest thing I could think of to it is the
sensation of not being able to breathe. I felt my heart stop and I lost
consciousness, then I felt myself rise up, and I was looking at myself. I
could hear the doctors and nurses calling me and I could see my husband and
my new baby. My hubby was looking so helpless. The room looked slightly
different, like it was hazy. I keep yelling "I am here, I am right here" but
no one could hear me, finally they gave me ephedrine to get my heart going
again and I felt myself plunge back into my body and take a breath, like
being underwater and coming up for air… I felt my husband's feelings, and it
made me realize how much he really loves me. It has made me love him more. 2235.

I had a motorcycle
accident when I was 19 years old. I don't remember anything after
being struck by a automobile. I found out later a few details about
the accident. I ended up with a broken femur, torn quad muscle on the
other leg, my helmet cracked and I had trauma to the head. Also
sustained amnesia for 10 days. While
in the hospital, I had an experience that I couldn't explain at the time.
I thought it was a dream. It was the only thing I could recall during
the amnesia period. I was on a bed, lying face up, so relaxed, no pain
whatsoever. I started to rise up off the bed, peaceful. Saw a
beautiful light all around me, going up like a tunnel. I heard music
being played by two angels. Harps were strumming. Finally I
heard a voice asking me "Are you ready"? It was a male voice, pretty deep.
I remember saying "No, I'm not ready". Right then, I started on a
descent back to a bed. I just remember, no fear, the most peaceful
state ever. Beautiful, calming music. 2234.

The strangest thing that I recall (as if it happened yesterday), was that
although these medical people were suddenly working frantically to revive me
that I had no concern at all for my well being as I knew that I was ok
throughout the entire episode. I found myself suspended about 4 feet or so
above all this activity and immersed in bright light beyond me, but,
somewhat equally as bright to my sides as well. I was very much at
peace and was dumbfounded about what all the confusion was on the medical
table (upon which I was physically laying), below me. I distinctly recall my
thoughts of " well if you doctor's would just do this (or that) that I would
in fact be fine. Of course I have no medical background but at that moment
it was clear to me what they were doing wrong. 2233.

It was 2:30 AM when the heart attack hit me, I was transported to the
hospital ER, in there by 3 AM, there were about 6 ER people working on me, I
was in an out of consciousness the whole time, all of a sudden everyone was
gone and there was this bright, bright light ( all I could think of was from
what I heard about the bright light that this was it ) so I said out loud
"OH SHIT" than one of the nurses that was standing next to my head said to
me WHAT and I came back to consciousness and could see everyone again. They
prepared me for a catheterization and ballooned me and inserted a stint. The
nurse told me what I said and I remembered the light and told her that's
what I was making my remarks about, thinking this was it. We all laughed and
she said I might want to rethink my last words. 2232.

I was driving a single cab truck and was rear-ended at 55 mph. My head hit
the roof of the truck two times before hitting the back window 3 times,
shattering that window completely. I was in and out of consciousness on the
way to the hospital and woke up 3 hours after arriving to the hospital.
The only thing I remembered for my NDE was there were 2 or 3 hooded shadows
facing me, one was trying to touch me and I kept slapping at whatever he was
trying to grab me with. It didn't look like a hand but more like a hooded
sleeve. The weird thing about my NDE is that I was GIGGLING while
trying to slap it away, when I think I should have been scared!! I wasn't
scared though. I couldn't get it out of my mind afterwards and was very
depressed for months that I was met with a hooded creature. 2231.

Upon passing out in shower I fell forward and struck my face between
the eyes on a small retaining wall between the shower and bathroom floor.
I experienced a view of myself from outside of the shower on the bathroom
floor looking back into the shower at myself laying there. As I looked
up I could see an image of an individual in a glowing gown. The image
was slowly raising upward. As I panned up further I saw a very bright
silver/metallic like button in the middle of the chest of this robe/gown.
The robe/gown was lightly illuminated and the button was laser like in the
center of chest. I noticed that as I panned up further the image had
its hands stretched out to the sides with the palms up. The final pan upward
I saw myself with a smile on my face. The image continued to rise and was
extremely peaceful. Immediately I experienced being above my prone
body looking down at my self laying in the shower. 2230.

Then I experienced darkness and then proceeded to the indescribably bright
light. The scene was a pastoral setting with brilliant colors but not
distinguishable as flowers or objects. Approaching me were beings that
I can only describe as individual entities that appeared to be bright, not
earthy beings, familiar but not identifiable to me. They welcomed me
and the light presence gave a feeling of love and peace and knowing that I
have never felt before. The communication was not in words but in thoughts. 2229.

I was on the passenger side of a car when it was hit on the freeway in
Atlanta Georgia. When I saw the car front end about 2 feet away everything
positive in my life ran thru my brain like a high speed camera. The next
thing I could remember was that I was an entity in the sky. As the entity I
had no thoughts about the actual person who was in the accident. The
feelings I had of the entity was that it was powerful and somewhat all
knowing. Even though I turned into this entity; I felt no connection between
who I am as a human and who the entity was. I came to upside down on the
drivers side of the car. 2228.

A routine lump removed from my breast, I had a reaction to the drug and lost
blood pressure, I was aware of the doctors and nurses working on me at the
time, I had a warm feeling and saw god. it was not a face only a bright,
bright light. I asked god if I was dying, and when he only held me and did
not answer me I knew that I was not going to die at that time. it was the
most comforting time I have ever felt. I was not afraid in the least, I had
no desire to go, but on the other hand no desire to stay. I saw one of my
children and my dog who were at my home at the time. I was told that it was
all caused by a reaction to the drug used to put me under for the operation. 2227.

Without warning or anticipation of the automobile accident in which I was a
passenger, I found my self in a void; complete darkness. I had no sensory
feed back: complete silence, darkness, no smells, no feelings and yet a very
strong awareness of only myself...as though I was watching myself from a
close distance. My body was perfect, undamaged. I was overwhelmed by the
total aloneness and had but one thought: this dark place I am in cannot be
heaven and, therefore, I must get out. Since my consciousness and body had
been separated I could not move my body. All that was me was this very
powerful consciousness that could will things to happen. At that moment I
awakened not knowing where I was or what had happened… Panic. This was a
place that was foreboding. I wasn't suppose to be there. I had to escape. I
had NO sensory feedback… It's life changing and a conformation that God is
with us.....all of us and that we have more power over a bad situation than
we think we have… I have a personal relationship w/God. I'm not afraid of
Him anymore! 2226.

They put me on a ventilator and a medical induced coma. I was near death,
but not officially dead. I knew I was dying and was fighting to stay alive.
I remember just feeling tired of fighting. I was half out of it all the time
I guess do to the medicine to keep me in a coma. All of the sudden my
alertness was greatly heightened and I was on an elevator going up. The
doors opened and there were some people there. I didn't know them but I had
a certainty that one of them was a relative of mine, he was in charge of my
entire family line. There was another person there that was a person in
charge. I was given the choice to stay on earth and live, or the suffering
could end and I could go to a very comfortable, pain free, place. I thought
about my children being left without a father and profound sadness settled
over me as I knew that I would have to come back if it was up to me. 2225.

This is how mom
related her experience to me:
She felt like she was in a tunnel. At the end of a tunnel was a bright
light. She kept moving toward that bright light. Once she got to
the bright light, she felt a presence behind her and knew it was Jesus.
In the light, she saw her father (my grandpa) and his brother (great uncle)
sitting at a table. (They both had preceded her in death in the early
1970's.) She looked at grandpa and said, "Dad, I want to come with
you". Grandpa turned around and spoke to someone - whom mom knew was
God although she could not see him - and when he turned back to her, he
said, "It's not time". 2224.

During my surgery, I awakened and was floating. I could see myself
near the ceiling of the surgery room. I was pleased with my appearance
and youth. I entered a tunnel near the side of the surgery room
ceiling very cautiously, but kept one foot at the outside of the
opening. I only wanted to look in. I looked up and saw a light
at the end which was very soft and moved back and forth. Some
electrical currents ran through it and it was somewhat milky in appearance.
It was as if some forms of life were in the currents. Something was
communicating with me and asked me if I was ready to come all the way in.
I said no. I wanted to go back and raise my two sons until they did
not need me anymore. I wanted to become a better person. I made
a promise to be a good mother. The light assured me that I was loved
and I was sent back into my body to fulfill my purpose. 2223.

I remember hearing a loud crack. A bolt of electricity jumped from the loose
wires dangling from below the bridge to the lightning rod I was holding in
my hands. The massive amount of electricity entered my palms and with full
force picked me up and thrust me into the air. The energy of the lift pushed
me like a rocket, up thru the atmosphere and into the extremely bright light
with eyes wide open. The air felt clean, warm, and light with no downward
gravitational pull. The time from the initial electric shock to the bright
light was (this may sound crazy) instantaneous but not a a hurried pace. I
felt an immediate attraction and curiosity about this state of where I was,
and wanted more. The soothing mesmerizing beauty of the light captured my
soul and gently I floated higher and higher. I drifted with purity, fully
trusting, completely engrossed, full of energy, clear thinking and more
alive and aware then at any time in my life. 2222.

Was swimming in a pool and removed my life jacket. I then was trying to find
the edge of the deep end when I slipped and went under the water, I tried to
grab a woman's swim suit, she felt it but seen nothing. I blacked
out.....When I come to I am floating above the pool with a spirit or ghost
beside me. I ask it why no one is helping me ( I can see everyone
around my body and hear everything they are saying, still 32 years later
like it happened today) the being floating with me tells me with out moving
its mouth or saying anything that "the world is not as loving as you think". 2221.

drifting away. Suddenly it was as if something caught me and I opened

I was above everything with absolutely no pain! Total peace -- I couldn't
hear the shouting but could see the anesthesiologist covering my face with a
mask. I knew that I was dying or dead and that didn't bother me. I saw my
son being lifted out of me and then being worked on. The operating room had
windows very high toward the ceiling and there was a woman sitting on the
tile sill. She was wearing a white drape and very pretty with short dark
hair. She was smiling at me and I went over near her, watching what was
happening below. 2219.

About 7:00 pm, I was about to cross JP Rizal to the other side of the street
to take a ride back because I missed my bus stop. It was drizzling, I
had to cover my head with my black jacket. Suddenly, I heard a loud
screech of a braking van and before I could react, the van hit me on my side
and I was thrown about 3 meters and was unconscious. I saw a bright
light and had fast flashbacks of the faces of my offices at PNB. Then
I woke up with people helping me go to the hospital just beside our house at
Sta. Ana, the St. Anne's Hospital. I remember that I saw my body on
the pavement from above when I was unconscious. 2218.

I was driving a ford station wagon to buy flowers for my wife who had just
given birth to my son 2 days earlier when a drunk driver ran a stop sign and
hit my car broadside on the drivers side front third of the car. I remember
hitting the brake hard. I then felt warm blood running down my face. I
thought I was dying and said a prayer asking God for forgiveness. It was at
this time that I noticed that I was floating above my car a few feet.
I remember vividly saying to myself this must be what dying is all about. I
was feeling EUPHORIC, it was an absolutely incredible feeling. I could see
myself in the driver's seat, bloody hair, floating higher yet, with
people gathering around the accident. I was no longer a few feet above the
car. I was more like 50 or 60 feet above the car and it was at this point
that I noticed that I had no arms or legs and I could not see any other part
of my body, but my thinking was very clear and my feeling still EUPHORIC.
It was the greatest feeling I have ever experienced in my entire life. 2216.

The Earth was so beautiful, I remember
seeing the large brown areas, the continents and thinking the color was
wrong, I expected the land to be green like the mountains where I live, so
much was brown, but then realized different climates, not everything was
green. The oceans were amazing, so large and the clouds were everywhere in
different shapes. I turned to look around and saw stars, like you
would see in the night sky, but there were so many more of them and they
were so bright, also so beautiful that for a moment I forgot about the
Earth. One of the stars started to become larger and seemed to move towards
me. The light from the star was very bright, within the light I could make
out a human shape, a staff, possibly a robe. I could not make out the facial
features because the light was so bright, but I don’t have a sense that I
was looking at a man or a woman, I had a sense of a benevolent intelligence,
and gender wasn’t relevant. There was an intense feeling of joy and safety,
that this new place was safe for a distressed child. 2215.

my girl friend (whom we had never met) would break her leg. When I
came to in Johns Hopkins I told my nurse what I saw. She said not to
worry, that my girl friend was coming up with her mother. The next day

love. I was raised by loving parents but this was far above anything I had
ever known. Suddenly I was jarred by a voice saying "Do you want to stay or
go with me?" It was like the voice had spoken a few times but I didn't hear

Unfortunately it was not equipped to handle heart surgery. The Doctors were
trying to keep me calm, but there was not much they could do. I was in
extreme pain from the MI and suddenly, a warmth overcame me and I felt a
total calmness. When I was about to open a door at the end of a white
hallway, an alarm brought me out of my bliss. I found out later that my
blood pressure had bottomed out and the medical team gave me a boost of
adrenalin and it brought me back to my pain. This sensation occurred about 8

All this time I
felt like I was accelerating toward the light and as I approached I felt
myself unfold like a flower, although I had no body. As I unfolded I felt
it, the Love, which was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Even
now I cry when I talk about it as my system feels like it's going to
overload from just the memory. I was enveloped by this light and felt one
with everything, all seeing, all knowing.
It certainly wasn't what I understood of God as an entity, but maybe it was
better. It gave new meaning to that saying that God is Love. The love was
like an energy that connected every molecule in the universe. 2205.

I'm not sure if time slowed down, or that my thoughts and cognitive
processes were so incredibly fast. As I fell toward the ground in the
space of what might have been two minutes, it is as though my whole life was
compressed and replayed in the blink of any eye. I remember two or
three distinct images of the whole experience and the rest was just a blur.
It was as if my mind was operating in two spaces, in one part I was trying
to control the helicopter, and in the other I was having the playback
experience. In the logical part of my mind I had come to the
realization that if the wind shear situation did not abate, I would crash
and be killed. In a distant and disembodied way I was wondering if it would
be painful. During the event, I was not afraid. 2204. Manon L Probable NDE
5/27/10 From the
Netherlands. As a 7 or 8 week old
infant I almost died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). My mother told
me that she went into the room to feed me and that I had turned blue and
felt limp; she felt something heavy fly away through the room. She then
called my father who picked me up and patted me and told me to come back.
The next thing I was crying. They kept me for observation in the
hospital for some time, but I was ok after that. The memory that I
have always known, I am almost 35, is that of a bright light; like looking
into the sun but not sharp to the eyes, coming from that source: a feeling
of encouragement. To these events and feelings I have always connected
my wish to do something that is of real use to other people. Growing
up I didn't have the words to describe that memory, feeling and wish. Until
recently, I have never heard people in my surroundings speak about such a
thing in their lives. When my mother retold me the story of what happened
when I nearly died, I put 1 and 1 together and realized what had probably
happened. 2203.

While
I have these thoughts I'm being sucked in further, slowly I float upwards
into the beam of light which is getting narrower and brighter. My eyes and
body are drawn towards it and I let myself go completely. I'm moving in an
infinite oasis of peace and safety. I'm floating slowly through a space of
intense peacefulness in a soft color of grey/green. It embraces me, I'm part
of it, I'm one with it. The voices are fading. I hear them in the background
but they don't reach me. About halfway I reach other surroundings where the
soft grey/green color becomes bright light grey. It's more beautiful than
where I was before. At this point I stop and I see an almost invisible
boundary between the spot where I am and where the beautiful bright light
begins. I'm at the end and at the beginning. The doorway looks
inviting. 2199.

a most intense light. The light did not spill into the room where I was but
was totally contained on the other side of the door except what I could see
through the gap. It was the whitest light I had ever seen, much brighter
than any light on earth, and yet it did not hurt my eyes. I was still
floating at the ceiling all of this time as well. I was fascinated by the
presence of this light, it was though it was a 'being' of some sort and it
radiated everything that was good and I still experienced the same beautiful
feelings. 2194.

reminded me of an umbilical cord through which I was being propelled, not
touching any of the surrounding membranes but at high speed moving ever
upward, leaving the darken world behind and entering a world of a greater
light. The light became even brighter as a moved upward. Only a
moment later, I stopped. Surrounding me was the presence of warm radiant
light; it was holding me, comforting me, loving me, enclosing me in perfect
rapture, an area of pure soothing brilliant golden white light. I was
totally at peace. 2193.

did not know how I had come to be in this place, but it has always seemed to

I was surrounded by
a very, very intense white light, and it seemed to crackle, almost
"electrically," so to speak. The light encircled my form; it sort of
wreathed the contour of my body, as I recall. All this was against an
extremely dark background. It was unclear where I was or what kind of room
or space I was in, other than the darkness, then the bright light
surrounding my form, sitting up at 90 degrees and screaming loudly. I cannot
say with certainty if I was positioned slightly higher than the view of
myself on the table, but I think I might have been. I was certainly not
below that level, and definitely not "floating" above my body. I was seated
comfortably in a chair, simply dispassionately and objectively observing
what was taking place. 2190.

further, I was standing in space, but I did not see a horizon. There was no
atmosphere as there is on earth, no limited vision or degradation of colors

of everything. The city looked something like pictures I have seen of
Jerusalem, the city glowed, every molecule was lit, I felt this light in me,
part of me, I was part of it. In this light, I felt incredible,
indescribable love and forgiveness that only God can give. I love my life,
my children and husband, I have by no means at that time, a wish to die or
be 'done with life'. But once I have felt the peace and love of that place,
if I HAD HAD A CHOICE, I would have not left. 2189.

flew through space in a tunnel with lights streaking on each side (my soul
left my feet and proceeded upward through my head and out). I flew
thousands of miles per second and felt protected from evil and harm by the

shaft. But it was not very wide and I was comfortable sitting in it.
There were no seats, but one could just seeming sit in suspension. The
tunnel was surrounded by darkness which was not surprising for some reason,
and the darkness appeared to be infinite. Then as I flowed quickly
through this shaft, I realized there was soft glowing light in the distance
ahead. Maybe like city lights appear long before you can see the

Instead, the pool was empty, yet I was suspended above the tiled floor.
Arms and legs out before me. My “life review” began. It was like
watching a film in fast-forward. Everything, I saw. Going to the

It flashed so quickly, yet it was all me, and I comprehended it.

I had run out of oxygen. I was alone and scared in complete darkness when
suddenly I saw a little tiny pin point of light, as I stared at it the light
became brighter and larger and closer like I was moving toward it or it was
coming to me very rapidly from a far distance away, until it was so large
and bright it was like a wall of light. Proceeding into the light I was
immediately filled with the light and filled with the most amazing peace,
warmth and joy! I have never felt such an amazing feeling ever in my life.
My eyes adjusted to the brilliant bright light and I realized that I had
entered into a magnificent splendid giant hall or building, the walls
emanated this pure bright light and filled everything it touched so that
there not a shadow, sad or mean thought could exist, just pure love and joy. 2175.

While ice skating with my sisters on a river approximately 1/4 mile from my
childhood home in the countryside of southwester Ontario, on Valentine's Day
(a Sunday), February 14, 1965, I fell through a patch of thin ice, and fell
deeply into freezing waters with a swiftly moving current. I felt no
sense of needing to breathe, or of cold, but recall initially noticing how
dark it was, relative to the bright winter's day outside. Suddenly, I could
see from above, myself falling. I will never forget the vision of myself in
my yellow ski jacket and extra long striped scarf, my long blonde braids and
scarf floating over my head. I was calm watching myself, no thinking
anything strange of feeling anything but completely in control and serene.
I spoke aloud these words: "I'd better get back down there." Immediately I
was back in my body, with a plan to allow myself to sink to the bottom and
push off from there, looking toward the light. My thought was that the light
was the break in the ice. I did just that, and with little effort made
my way to the break in the ice. My sisters swear that I was under water for
several minutes. 2174.

I was admitted to a Katy, Texas hospital with ventricular tachycardia.
at approx.3:45 a.m., I started having symptoms of VT and my blood pressure
started dropping. the last thing I remember was my blood pressure was
60/40. the next thing I know is that I am standing in a field and the
grass was the greenest I have ever seen. I also saw that the sky was
the bluest I have ever seen. then the clouds were the whitest I have
ever seen. it was so peaceful and the sun was shining brightly. even
though I did not see the sun. I could feel the wind against my skin. I
remember that it was very calm and I felt so serene and at peace. I
said. "oh wow!" suddenly, I felt my body being pulled to the right
side and I awoke and saw that they were placing the wooden board under my
body in the hospital. they were preparing to shock me but when I awoke
the doctors saw that my heart rate had returned to normal. I asked the
nurse why all the doctors were in my room and she said that I had gone into
cardiac arrest and that they had lost me. I told the nurse about my
experience and she said that I surely must have gone to the other side. 2173.

The morning after my bypass surgery, when the fog from anesthesia and
morphine was lifting, I started to hum "Nantucket sleigh ride" by
Mountain. I hadn't heard the song for almost thirty years. Then
I started to remember looking down on an open chest and a heart laying there
still. then I saw two probe like things touching the heart and the
memory stopped. after a week when I went to have half of my
staples removed I asked the surgeon if he played Mountain in the operating
room. His response was the question "looking down or the light"
he said that many of his patients have reported these events and yes indeed
he did play a mountain CD during the surgery. 2172.

I could remember
bicycling, waking up in the ambulance, then going blank.
What I remembered next was moving down a "hallway" but not really a hallway
and going by "scenes with remembrance" and thinking I remember that, and I
should go in there, but I didn't. There were many of these "scenes", one
after another, but I did not go into them, as I was coerced to keep going.
I came to the end of this "hallway" it opened up to an infinitely large
space. In this space, there were an infinite amount of from what I
could describe would be souls communicating with each other simultaneously.
I was in awe at the magnitude of thoughts being communicated between these
souls. I could focus in on one area and pick out the "conversation". 2171.

I was driving to work. Not speeding. In an instant the truck was
on its side ....sliding along the soft dirt shoulder of the road. My
vision simply faded to black like in the old movies. All sound
stopped. There was no feeling in my body. It was dark. I was not
in a body. I was AWARE I was in the dark. I was aware that I was
observing and actually thinking. I thought, "Huh, that's it
huh". I experienced only a moment of fear before I faded back into a body
full of pain… I feel even now that I am still in the void. I am still
ambivalent about the intent of a God, afterlife and how it has not helped me
in this life. 2170.

I could see through walls. I read the surgeons mind and instantly "knew" he
was having an affair with the attending nurse; that his brother would die of
cancer the following year. (and did). My sister had sent me roses, my
husband was home chopping wood. My kids were in school A list of details,
all too trivial to write about, but confirmed to me what I saw was
real. Unlike dreams, I remembered everything as if it just happened. It
changed the direction of my life and the way I took care of my body, my
life, my family and patients forever after… I saw what all my family members
were doing at the time and was able to verify those activities later, they
were astonished that I could see what they were doing, and talking about. 2169.

I suddenly woke up in what I can only describe as an open space of light .I
saw several human forms made of light. In the blink of an eye two of these
forms suddenly appeared on either side of me. When I looked at them from
close up I could see into their brilliance. I could see their features. One
of them was my grandmother and the other was my dad. They were made of
light. It was them but much younger and more perfect. I would have not known
it was them had I not known it was them. My grandmother preceded to welcome
me home, not to worry we will take good care of you were her exact words.
This was not speech, it was more like telepathy. I really cant describe the
overwhelming feeling of peace, love, joy and RELIEF!!! I was finally back
home. It was like my memory of this place was coming back. I knew so much
there that I don't remember now. But I do remember feeling like I was away
at school and I had finally come home. 2168.

I remember seeing
the doctor and he was counting numbers. I felt as I was above them,
seeing them working on me. Next, I remember seeing my husband and 5
year old daughter in the room outside the OR. They seemed upset. All
of a sudden I was going through a dark tunnel, but with flashing speed, and
straight ahead was a very bright!!! light. Then I was in a meadow with
beautiful flowers surrounding me. The colors were so vibrant! I
felt peace and love surround me. I looked to my left and there was a
splendid man in a white robe, with shoulder-length hair, beard and mustache.
Then he was in front of me. There was a bridge separating us, and he
communicated in telepathy. I understood that I could go no further.
Then I woke up in my hospital room. I don't remember any way back.
However, I laid there feeling so sad and a overwhelming feeling of
heartache, and remorse. I did not want to be here, I wanted to
be in that other place I had been in. 2167.

And space is exactly what it was. It was the color of Montana sky, had no
walls, ceiling or any type of perimeters. There were a few of very white
clouds here and there and I recall looking around for some kind of tunnel or
exit but at the same time hoping I could be in this place forever free of
emotional and physical pain, or stress, it was fabulous indeed, but as I
thought about be able to stay where I was, I heard a powerful voice, heard
isn't exactly the right word. I seemed to feel/hear/sense it in my thinking
part of my brain. It said NO, not now, later, you have much yet to do. I was
sad to be back in the physical part of me and am still wondering what I
should be doing. 2166.

I could feel the tires starting to give way and knew I was going to roll and
yelled, "OH GOD!" two or three times then there was a bang. Everything
stopped. I was totally conscious, but didn't know where I was, Totally void
of light yet I could still see...I was aware of myself and I don't remember
having a body, just a consciousness. I looked around or at the darkness, It
was right in front of me and far away, then It was like looking at a black
canvass with no beginning or end and it was silent, at first. Then sounds I
really can't explain, I became aware of presences, coupled with the darkness
becoming textured and streaked with ashen grey's and a burning, scraping
sound. I heard screaming and crying. I never saw what was causing it but
with each streak I became more terrified and knew I wasn't in a good place,
And whatever was trying to come "through" the darkness, meant to do me harm. 2165.

bedroom to find myself looking for the first and only time in my life
at myself from somewhere else then drifted outside thru the wall to see my
dog who was whining and cowering with one paw over his head looking up at me
..as if he could see me (also I was wondering why I could see so clearly at
such an early hour I could hear all the activities of the
surrounding area...as I drifted out to the street I looked at my neighbors
porch and laundry line and the home next door with the Chevy parked in the
drive figuring randy must of been off from work.. often he worked nights I
started to drift down the road but the house at the end was not visible just
a lighter area of fog like something out of twilight zone as I got nearer I

got closer I fought to change direction and finally tension that ended with

To the best of my knowledge I never lost consciousness. Once everything got
black, my need for oxygen dissipated and I began to feel a pulling sensation
and I knew my soul was leaving my body. My soul just automatically left my
body. Once I was out of my body I could see again and noticed that I was
floating upwards and out of the pool to a height of around 10ft above the
surface of the water. I remember thinking to myself "This is great!" It was
such a huge relief to have the threat of death finally behind me. Even at
such a young age the mind is aware of our mortality whether we ourselves
know it or not. Once I reached 10ft. above the water I stopped. I didn't
have any control over my actions from that point on. I couldn't move, all I
could do was observe. I was positioned on my back although not entirely
horizontal and I was facing the sky. I looked down and could see my parents
frantically trying to fetch my lifeless body from the bottom of the pool. 2163.

infant and being carried over the shoulder which I thought was my
Grandmother. Following behind us were two Cherubs, very small, short curly
hair, naked, neither sex, one solid pink and one solid purple. It was like
they were trying to keep me entertained and they did. I was trying to catch

In the midst of the heart attack, I was talking with the EMT in the
ambulance one second, and the next I was somewhere else. It was
completely dark and void of sounds. I "felt" completely immersed in an
emotional cacophony of positive feelings. I have never felt so good as
a living human being. I am convinced that I was in the presence of the
Holy Spirit, even though I don't know the "why" of this. There was
absolutely no concept of time, pain, sorrow, fear, or anything negative that
is associated with the human experience. When I became conscious after
my heart had to be restarted three times, I was as secure and happy as any
person could be for a few moments; then the reality of being back in the
world came crashing down. In the years since, I feel as though I have
become more cognizant of what really happened during that time. Little
pieces of the puzzle have become apparent to me, securing my belief that
what I experienced was real and profound. 2159.

I remember having an incredibly powerful fear of death before my surgery--a
fear which vanished after my experience and has never returned. I had the
nurses pray for me right before the surgery. I found myself in the presence
of a heavenly light, which I was not allowed to enter, but only barely touch
and observe. When it touched me, I was bathed in ethereal music. I not only
heard this music, I became a part of it. There was life in the music--God
was there. It flowed through me and I through it. There was more ecstasy in
the music than any one single human could tolerate. I knew at that point
that the music we play here on earth is simply a reflection of this
"source." I felt more "awake" than I had ever felt, as if this earthly life
was but a dream and true consciousness happens after death. 2158.

I was on the flight deck to de-arm the ordinance of one of our planes when
it landed during night flight ops. An F-8 crashed on the fantail
(round down) exploding on impact. The airplane broke in half, the cockpit
with the pilot went forward off the ship. The debris came flying at us at
110 mph the burning fuel following. I have lived that moment a million
times. After all these years I can still see the nose of the plane
rise up at an awkward angle. At that point I got a sick feeling. I
knew this was going to be bad. The sound was unreal as the fuel burst
and ignited. I was staring at a wall of burning jet fuel coming right
at me. It was all in slow motion almost frame by frame. I find
this hard to put on paper. I felt myself looking at myself I was high
and to the right of where I was standing. Then the word “move” came to
me loud, very loud and clear. At this point I moved and so did the guy
next to me. After the initial blast I got up and manned a fire hose.

he pulled me from the fire. I don’t remember that. 2156.

walked down to get there. When we arrived at the carnival place she told me
to wait, that someone wanted to speak with me. Coming out of the carnival,
though the entrance was my kid sister Allison. I have never been so happy, I
could not stop crying with joy. Allison had passed away in 1992 at the age
of 23 from a brain aneurism. She was in med school at the time with a very
promising future. It was devastating for us. When Ali, approached me, I
really knew I was home. We sat at a little table outside of the carnival
talking for what seemed like forever. She was so wise and calm. This is
going to sound strange, but at one point she said would you like to get a
hot dog. There was a little stand next to the ticket booth. So we got a hot
dog. She told me to enjoy it, because I would not be having these anymore. I
did not understand at the time, nor did I care. However, I would later come

than souls...these dots were everywhere and the cross over I can only
compare it to the river Jordan when I got through the tunnel.
I
saw one of these dots coming at me and it grew very very large....this
huge massive silhouette told me to turn around this is not your time....so I
turned around did not ask any more questions looked down again seeing the

lights, as explained to me by a Rabbi. (Not my religion) I now
have a sense that nearly anyone can end up in this very nice place. I
have no fear of dying after that experience. It was a very nice place.

Quickly I ran through my entire life as a series of pictures and sounds.
I could take the train should I wish to , I was able to catch it but did not

could to dissolve the clots. She died twice. She has no memory of those 3
months, but does vividly remember seeing her grandfather who had died two
years earlier. She says she "flowed" through a brightly lit tube. When she
saw her grand father and another person she did not recognize, she felt a
great deal of love and warmth and a sense of belonging. But her grandfather
told her, that it wasn't her time. She felt confused. She told me that he
very firmly said "Go Home". Several days later she woke up, and she was
improving. She couldn't talk very well nor could she move, but she managed
to scrawl on a paper pad, I saw Grandpa. It took a week more before she
could speak and she tried to explain her experience. At the present, she
doesn't speak of what happened her, but her conception of a "place" that
exists after all brain function ceases, has become clear to her. 2146.

strange/unusual experience. All of those people attending me suddenly
vanished and my Mother was sitting on the left side of the bed beside me
with my Father standing by her. I didn't realize who they were at
first because they were both very young late teens or early 20s. There
were other people behind them who I couldn't focus on because of a bright
light coming from something like a worm hole/cornucopia/horn of plenty
shaped object behind them. There were figures of people rushing out of it
toward me but I couldn't tell who they were due to the extreme brightness of
the light coming from that object. I then became distracted by figures to my
right which were all my former pets (dogs and cats that had died) climbing
over each other to get to me, they gave me the impression of me just getting
home from a long trip as they seemed very excited to see me. 2145.

My perception of motion had speeded up a hundred fold. As I realized I was

my whole body, which then concentrated in my head and I exited my body
through the top of my head. I literally flew out of the top of my head. I
found myself travelling in an upwards direction in total darkness but with a
marvelously wonderful sense of well being. I was cocooned in what I
perceived to be a spherical form. My initial thought was, ‘if this is being
dead, I like it’. The joy of freedom from my body was as intense as it was
immense. I perceived I was travelling at great speed but I had no references
by which to measure how fast it was. I was being cared for, looked after, I
felt very secure. I was travelling towards some place I was not aware of. 2142.

grey to almost black. I heard a voice, or a muffled sound I thought was a

getting lighter and lighter, and woke up with my husband sitting in front of

watched as they brought in a gurney and transferred me to it. Also they
brought in two machines and connected me up. I floated up above and watched
and listened to the whole procedures until they revived me. I had gone into

I couldn't see myself and had no body part, like a hand, that I could hold
up in front of my eyes (no eyes either) to confirm what I was, but I assumed
that I was one of them. I was floating above the ground like them. I could
move about effortlessly like them. All I had to do was think to move. As I
buzzed about they seemed to tell me to settle down because I was new and
didn't know how to move about yet. They weren't using words, but I could
clearly understand them just like you would easily understand "watch out" in
a language you didn't speak. Thought, knowledge and memory were not linear,
one thing after the other, but all at once. The amount of sensory intensity
would have overwhelmed me minutes ago in my human body, but this was way
cool. I could see and hear and conceive in ways that were inspiring and
wonderful. 2138.

I don't remember why but suddenly I ran into the water and was surprised
that the water slowed me down. I was a very expressive and wild child at the
time. The next thing I remember is that I am lying on the bottom of the
water looking up into the mirror like surface of water above me. I'm not
scared because now there are light stripes and beings (maybe angels?) beside
me and I'm now looking at my body from above - there is also music - sounds
like thousands of bright voices singing in harmony...I just want to be here
forever! I will never ever forget this - this is so real, and somehow my
dreamlike bliss got interrupted by a hand that grabbed me - It was my father
in all his clothes and shoes who pulled me out of my bliss and saved my life
(Thanks dad!). 2137.

The experience defined me and I, in turn used it to guide my children. I do
not limit this experience to my children but to everyone who I can feel will
accept that there is unlimited joy to follow if we can allow ourselves to
understand that this life is only the life we must get through to get to the
joy of our true existence that waits for us on the other side. I also let
them know that who we are and allow ourselves to be is the way to get there,
to that beautiful unlimited place. 2136.

pain, nothing and vomiting going on and I was not having any feeling for

darkness, I was feeling free. Finally after 6 hrs, I came to know that
banding has been done by doctors, esophageal virus was the problem. 2135.

As I started
rejoining both ends of the electric wire. I got an electric shock (I did not
wear any gloves). It was like a knife-like particle inserted into my finger
and speedily entered in my body towards my leg. I cried as loud as I can. My
mom listen me and started crying. I became unconscious led down on the
floor. Fortunately, the bare wire fell from my hand and I was saved.
Between these almost 10 to 20 seconds, I felt I was out of body, I felt
that my body was lying down; if my mom removed the wire from hand she could
save my body. I was really did not want to lose my body. I felt that I was
telling to my mom to stop crying and remove the wire from my body's hand
because I was unable to do. I also felt that my mom was not listening to me
but I did not know why. 2134.

From high in the air I watched her holding my still body as she screamed for
help, screaming that her baby was dying. I remember feeling sad that
my mother was so upset, but at the same time I felt very peaceful. I watched
the scene from inside the apartment and could only see the back of her. Very
quickly I was laid on the sofa and several adults surrounded my body. I
watched from high above as one neighbor initiated rescue breathing. I
had felt nothing but peace until that point. …One thing about this episode
that amazes me is the depth and quality of the vision. I remember the
shade of my mother's lipstick, color of her blouse, color of the sofa and
even the nightgown I was wearing. I have very few memories of when I
was 3 or 4 years old, but this event is as clear today as when I experienced
it 47 years ago. 2133.

In March 1984, I was six months pregnant, and
awoke with severe pain in my leg. In preparation of going to the ER, I
began to feel faint, and felt like I was going to pass out. I recovered
within a few minutes, and my husband quickly drove to the ER. While in the
ER, I was lying down, and began to feel faint again. The ER staff quickly
wheeled me into an ER room where they began to frantically "work" on me.
During this time, I could hear them say, "We're losing her and the baby's
heart rate is dropping." A nurse also apologized to me as she told me that
I was going to feel tremendous pain while sticking a needle in my wrist to
take blood and measure the oxygen level. I felt nothing, but pure peace and
no pain, and felt like I was floating. I remember thinking, "I
just want to go to sleep." A voice quickly said, "No, it's not your time."
The ER staff administered an IV of heparin since they determined that it
was a blood clot. Once this was administered, I awoke and felt excruciating
pain. Unbeknownst to me, a doctor took my husband aside, and told him that
my daughter (yes, she was born a month later at 3 lbs. 11 oz.) and I were
not expected to live. A few days later, I had an x-ray that revealed two
pulmonary emboli (blood clots on the lung), which they believe happened
during my fainting episodes. 2132.

Everything was very bright and in sharp focus, no blurry vision. Then,

everything was moving so fast. Then suddenly everything went black.
For a moment I thought, hey, where is this, where am I? Then a great fright

I personally had a weird equestriennes after giving birth. I had lost a lot
of blood. I was in the recovery room and holding the baby but felt like I
was going to faint and told my sister to take the baby. I blacked out but
could hear my sister calling for the nurse who came in and took my BP. I
heard her call out to the doctor " Don't leave yet" He answered "What's her
BP?" She said "Zip". There was a flurry of activity THAT I WATCHED FROM
ABOVE ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF A FILING CABINET - MAYBE A LITTLE HIGHER. I was
quite interested and expected to see them get out paddles or jab a needle
into my heart. Instead they jabbed a needle into the IV bag that was hooked
up to my arm. In a few seconds I was "back in my body" not overhead.
The next week during my first post-natal check-up, I asked my doctor why he
jabbed the IV and not my heart. He explained why - but then said, "How did
you know that?" "Because I was watching from above." He said there was no
way I could have known that since I had virtually no blood pressure. (My
heart I believe was still beating - don't know) 2130.

There was construction on the interstate, and I found myself frustrated
because everyone was passing me. I thought "Don't they know they are
supposed to go slow in a construction zone?" All of a sudden, I was
taken out of existence. It was as if I were not on this planet, didn’t
exist, whatever you want to call it - I was not a part of the life zooming
past me on I-85. I had no vision whatsoever. I heard the
flutter of wings, like the sound of a flock of birds taking off. I
looked to my right to see what the noise was. I saw about thirty to
forty angels descending from the sky. They descended so smoothly. They
were all talking amongst themselves, so I couldn’t understand what they were
saying. It was like when a crowd of people are talking, and you can’t
make out what they are saying because too many people are talking at once.
Their magnificence was like nothing I had ever witnessed. 2129.

2/18/10 I do
remember this as if it happened yesterday. Dad had given me this
liquid to clean scuff marks off the back of front seat. My parents were
inside apartment, entertaining old friends from Mobile. At one point I
got a little dizzy, so I stopped and sat up in back seat and rolled window
down to breath some fresh air. It was very cold outside. After a few
minutes, I went back to work and this was last I remember. They say, when I
passed out, my face fell right on a cleaning rag. In my dream I was at
least 40' above and at an angle to the the rear. I was laying face down on
driveway and Dad was straddled on me, giving artificial respiration. Our
friends were standing by but Mom was not there. I suppose she had gone to
call the ambulance. Then I floated in space and went by 3 very bright
moon-like uninhabited planets, full of large craters. All these years
I have kept this a secret, feeling no one would believe me. This chemical
was used, also, to clean typewriters and I never could stand the smell to
this day. I do believe I have guardian angels that have helped me get this
far. I believe my Mom and Dad are always around. Perhaps, the angels back
then were our friends, who were about to leave but wanted to see new car. 2128.

beautiful, even though it was not really like the music we know here. I was
separated from that huge procession, which was now in front of me and
suddenly wider, at about ten meters. The first people at the front were my
husband holding my children's shoulders, my daughter on his right, my son on
his left side. They had a huge smile, I felt that everybody was happy for
me. When I could see them well, when I perceived their state of mind, their
great joy, when they gave me their smiles and all that joy, the distance
between everybody and I was shortened in an instant, and I was going to meet
everyone of them and they were coming to meet me, sliding. 2127.

both spectator and actor of the stage, I am both inside and outside, so...
am I lying ? I don't know.) Bathing in a soft light around (or in front?) of
me; some familiar and extremely caring presences lean on me. I have no
concept of time passing. I have the feeling that they tell me something
although I hear nothing, I am sure there is a communication, though unable
to mention any content or formal expression of it. As for what I
feel...everything is serenity, benevolence, love ... I bathe in the
fullness, I dare say perfect happiness. 2125.

river flowing just beyond the flowers. The whole area was enveloped in
a very bright yellowish light. Just on the other side of the river was
a huge crowd of beings with no discernable faces or other body
characteristics. I had an overwhelming sense of welcome with the
impression that they were beckoning to me to join them. Although I didn't
actually see her, I was aware that one of them was my grandmother who had
passed away about 10 years before. I can recall vaguely wondering if
my father was in the crowd (he died when I was 11). I didn't actually
speak to anyone, nor did I hear any words spoken to me. It was more,
just a very brightly colored vision, with sensations of joy and welcome. 2123.

God, I am going to die..... About this time, I was being levitated to the

twisted. I saw the two people that was traveling with me crying and
were very upset over my injuries. The ambulance had arrived and the
attendant was administering help to me. I watched them do what they
could but I could not understand why everyone was so upset. I was
feeling wonderful and happy. I knew that this was a wonderful thing that was

floating in air for hours and hours, and then suddenly I heard a voice of
the woman I love (even though she left me two months before that I still
love her) telling me to be strong, to make it through. That voice told me to
get up, open my eyes and to live; because it is not my time yet to leave

head first as if diving into a pool. I then remember looking down on my body
and my brother standing over me crying and pulling my hair to get back up
the stairs. I saw my mother run down and pick me up crying and blowing air
in my mouth, I remember thinking why is she doing that im ok, then the next
thing I was in my body looking up at my mom and then I was unconscious in a

there. I saw myself laying there and the other boys gathered around me. It
seems like it only lasted a few seconds. I remember having a strange feeling
of seeing myself laying there.

had the understanding was the Lord Jesus Christ but he didn't say he was but
I just "knew" who he was because of the comfort and peace I was in. I was
conversing with the "Lord" and I said what I thought was out loud, "thank
you for being with me during this" and I just had such a warm and cozy
feeling, really calm and at peace. I then realized that I was awakening and
I saw a nurse in the room and I said was I just talking and she said no. And
I said you didn't hear me talking and she said no you weren't talking. 2117.

I looked up and I thought the little light up above came on (the
refrigerator was not plugged in so there actually was no light). It
was very tiny and then I felt myself leaving my body, going up through the
grates, and into the light. I was being pulled up through a tunnel
that opened into the most beautiful white light that I could ever describe.
When I was fully into the light I realized it was the most incredibly
beautiful light that I had ever seen. It seemed to have a personality
that was beyond belief loving. I was happy just being in the light.
I remember then that I heard a voice that I thought was the light that
surrounded me. Without having a body some how I talked to the voice.
I was shown that the white light was really made up of all the colors.
I was shown the zillions of colors in the light, more than I have seen on
earth. They were all beautiful.… If it isn't real I'm not sure how I
learned about the colors and all things in the universe coming from an
original light when I was technically not breathing. 2116.

through the air, propelled by the wind. I was very calm. There was no
sense of worry or fear. I was willing to go where this wind would take

and peace. I remember feeling and seeing my grandfather's had in mine
and him telling me he was scared and he needed me with him. It was
bizarre as I was not dead or dying but I was having this feeling as if my
spirit/body was being pulled toward the light at the same time as my
grandfather was. The light got brighter and then enveloped us. We were
standing in a place that was illuminated but not with regular light or lamps
or candles and there were other people there but I could not make out who
they were nor was I frightened or surprised to see them. My
grandfather was on my left and we were still holding hands. 2113.

as I gazed at the sun it kept coming closer to the window, getting larger
and speeding up and getting brighter. My thought was that the earth and the
sun were about to collide and I was witnessing the end of the world. The
ball of light came through the window with the sound of a swift wind, and I
saw that it was an awesome image of illuminating white light that was Jesus.
I was afraid because I felt unprepared to be judged. I wanted to speak but
was unable to do so. I noticed his youthful appearance and thought him to be
near my age. I saw his sandals
were old and worn and wondered why he would not have newer ones to wear. He
took steps suspended in mid-air. His arms were reaching out to me, and
then he spoke. He said "You are not ready to die, you still have work to
do." He hesitated, and then said "And don't be afraid, I will be with you."
I watched him back up toward the window and leave just as he had entered.
The bright light then returned to the sky. 2112.

that my thoughts were extremely clear, very unlike my usual self. I
wasn't floating long before I noticed a field of stars below me. They
formed a sort of curtain that divided where I was from someplace else.
I knew I would be able to go to them if I just thought about doing it, but
right after I had that thought, a male voice spoke to me in my head.
He told me that if I went past the stars I wouldn't be able to come back.
I remember thinking, "I'm not sure I want to go back, it's so wonderful

colors. Two beings met me, apparently as guides. As we started
to continue the journey, the two beings (angels?) stopped and told me that
it was not yet my time. They released me and I suddenly re-entered my
body. I looked at the nurse and told her that I was thirsty. She
jumped back in shock and dropped her clipboard, and then began calling for

colors got more intense and more detailed, turning into patterns and
textures and weaving of both color and sound. While I knew that this
was not of our world, it all seemed natural and without need for
explanation. At some point I understood the essence of creativity and
was given the "joy stick" of my own imagination so to speak, to create my
own visions. It was amazing what ever I thought became vision, and
swirled around me in its own reality. I realized my unlimited
potential as a human, I realized the unlimited ability to feel love, I knew
that I was being held in that "love" and I knew that this was the
forever-ness of that love. I knew what it was like to LOVE the way that God
loves, and when that happened my "heart" opened and I could feel my soul
touching that of the unseen creator, I knew that "God" does exist and we are
a part of it all. 2107.

aneurysm ruptured, I knew something was terribly wrong. The pain was so
severe, and my condition worsened very rapidly. I was at first aware of the
seriousness of my condition until I lost consciousness. Then, I was in this
very intense, bright light. I am uncertain of the timeline and order of
events, but at some point, I was with my deceased grandmother. She was in a
field picking green beans, and I was with her. The light almost felt like a
very hot summer day, but I felt drawn into this light, a part of the light.
There was no pain, no fear, only a feeling of warmth, peace, love, and
serenity. It was so wonderful that I wanted to remain in that light. Then, I
was aware of others with me, but only recognized my recently deceased
mother. She was in a gown of white, I could see her and I reached to touch
her but she remained out of my reach. I was told I could not stay, that it

didn't say this to me, but I said something to my Grandmother that convinced

suddenly fell back and was fully surrounded by a energy of a white light. I
have NEVER seen this color white here on earth. It did not hurt my eyes to
see it. I felt relaxed with no thoughts of my family or my past. I somehow
knew I was in the place I have seen others talk about. I do not know how I
knew this. I then had a male voice say to me "Frank, do you want to go with

I felt the shock of the paddles come in on my right chest and cross to the
left. 2100.

2/1/10 I
was free of the body...free of the daily stress of a physical existence.
I no longer felt fear or loneliness, or emotional pain. There are no
human words available to describe this. It was a total immersion in
God's love, in his light...as if I was in the presence of Christ
himself...immersed in the Holy Spirit. I could see, but not with my
eyes, hear but not with my ears and so on. It was the most beautiful
thing that I have ever experienced in my life, before or since...it was not
physical. It was 100% spiritual. As this was going on I had no
sadness or did I miss anyone or anything I was leaving behind. It was
as if I was also immersed in total understanding and knowledge of all
things...there was no concept of time and space...only pure love and
infinite wisdom, untold forgiveness and acceptance. 2099.

went to sleep while driving. Then I was aware that we were out of our bodies
& quickly flying up toward space, holding hands. we flew straight up for a
minute or so when we started to see a park or countryside-like landscape. It
seemed to be in twilight, sort of dark, but we could see trees, bushes, etc.
Suddenly, we were intercepted by 4 creatures. They seemed about ten
feet in height & were invisible, but we could see a vague humanoid outline
(my best description would be like the invisibility effect in the movie
"predator" which I saw some years later. Two flanked each of us and began to
gently separate us. They overwhelmed us with a feeling of the highest love &
compassion that was well beyond anything we could experience on earth. 2098.

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. 2097.

mother said she remembered the beautiful light and the "men" waiting for
her. She was asked whether she wanted to stay or go back. She said she had 6
children and, of course, me on the way, and that my father could not handle
all the work alone so she thought she should finish her job on earth and go
back. My father, over the years, being an Irish immigrant with a big ego,
always talked about that time when the doctors told him she was going to die
and he "cried like a baby." My relatives have told me that my mom was very
ill when carrying me with a bad case of pneumonia. 2096.

thing I know, I am standing outside the nursing home where Josie lived. The
most beautiful golden light was shining above and I was in amazement as I
looked at the trees the light emitting from every leaf and it was Autumn;
the colors had a vibrancy and brilliance never seen on earth. Next I heard
my grandmother's voice "This place is not-ting but corridors!" My heart
again felt so heavy and I told her I understand and I am so sorry! I did
not see her physically, but felt her next to me. She then told me she was"
leaving" and wanted to tell me how much she loved me. Instantly, I
felt what she meant and understood the Light. I stood in awe.
Everything conveyed was telepathic and was felt in emotion
more
than the words. The love exuded was felt full bodied and
consuming 2095.

will probably be no surprise whatsoever that during the two hours and

the morgue, I spent 155 active and healthful years creating art and

intimately familiar. I also immediately recognized my deceased grandmother

thirteen years before I was born. 2094.

After this I saw myself floating in the void, and little by little tiny
spheres of many colors became manifest, not moving at first, then suddenly
starting to vibrate while smoothly approaching me and incorporating
themselves with my essence, which made me feel something I can't manage to
describe, it was as if I was being tickled. I asked what this was, and a
voice said, "This is the knowledge you have accumulated in previous lives,
it was kept from you, but now it will be of use to you." 2093.

But they did not
interested me at all, because I knew everything and I did not have a
necessity to use all that information … I was overflowed with the feeling of
pleasure, and the feeling that at last I was coming back to the place that
was so dear to me. My movement was guided by my interest. There were no
words in my consciousness. In my mind I used only concept, logic and
intuition. I moved permanently upwards, my consciousness
revealed more and more, and I can describe a condition of my consciousness
as an allegorical symbol of a flower of a lotus, which opens its 1000
petals. 2092.

Original in Spanish, translated to English by Jacqueline. Suddenly, I
was standing in front of a black swirl, and moving ahead to cross it, to
reach out a bright light that was getting larger as I moved toward it. I
quickly entered in that light and they were bright, faceless people with
human form, which I did not know, but I felt they knew me because of the
friendly way they received me; I had the felling that one of them was my
late uncle that I loved so much; these entities received me with great joy
and greeted me by my name, but all this dialogue was by telepathy. I
was not talking, and they did not have voices either. I also remember
feeling a sensation of peace, welfare and happiness beyond description, it
was like if I belonged to that place. Suddenly, the voice of my conscience
told me that it was not my time yet, and that I had to return, but I did not
want to...I was so comfortable; I resisted, and I felt like if someone was
pulling me from somewhere else, and I pulled in the opposite direction, but
this force was stronger than me. 2091.

not remember anything at all. I just saw a light like the sun...so bright
and clear. I saw the threes like if I was lying down looking the sky...but
it was not the sun for sure....how could I being looking at the sun without
hurting my eyes. I start listening children laughs...like if they were
playing and having fun. But that peace, that peace was awesome. 2090.

The doctors now tell me that my skin was grey, my heart rate was 20, my
blood sugar was too high to read and that they needed to put an IV in my
neck with a temporary pacemaker or I would die. I told them do
whatever they needed to do. That's when every got really far off in a
distance. I could hear voices, but they were so far away. There
wasn't just one light. There was a black tunnel-shaped hole with
hundreds of white lights literally flying from the tunnel and coming at me,
trying to pull me in. The pull was extremely strong. I started
going toward the lights. Then something went off in my brain and I
mentally blinked my eyes to see if the lights and tunnel would go away.
They didn't go, the pull got stronger. I was terrified. I yelled
"NO......I'm not ready.... Go away". 2089.

I had taken a potpourri of downers. Since I worked at a local pharmacy, I
was well aware of the meds I consumed. I went to bed that night, hoping to
never wake up again. SURPRISE! In the meantime, I saw my body laying there
on the bed, from the corner ceiling of my bedroom behind my bedroom door. I
remember my friends dragging me off the bed, trying to get me to walk. There
were two others with me in the ceiling (so to speak) We were discussing my
life. I can remember bickering with them. I did not want to go back to my
life. I suppose they were displaying to me all the reasons why I should. 2088.

I was not yet sleeping but had my eyes closed. I saw a bright flash. I next
remember a dark tunnel and two figures on both sides of me guiding me
towards a very bright light. I remember instantly of reading or hearing of
people talking about this type of experience when I was younger. I
instinctively look to my right to see if I was in a dark tunnel. It was
surprised to see stars, but made a point to note this for some reason. There
was no fear at all in me. I just glided along with the two figures, one
holding each arm. The light was getting brighter ahead of me. Finally we
were near what look like a four tier Golden Arch. Beyond this Arch I can see
all my relatives who passed away, especially my Mother. All looked very
happy and were all smiles. We could communicate but not by talking. 2087.

When I had left the planet, I was an entity, sitting on the bottom of a
thick black line (as if sitting on the floor in a hallway leaning against
the wall) which had beautiful bright white light running the length of
either side. I did not have a body and had no awareness of being "Carol" or
having a husband and children, a home and a job. I was waiting and was aware
of that. I was patient and not bored at all. Not like me. I get antsy and
bored, especially without visual stimuli. I was are of my essence. That I

I was aware that there was no linearity to my experience, no attachment
almost as though the forces that operated inside it were free floating. In
our framework for understanding it I could say this intense softness wanted
me and loved me, like it was pulling itself to itself with joy, smiling
peace, and the most intense softness. Then there appeared in the bottom left
corner of my mind's eye a luminescence. Gosh this is so clichéd, but it is
absolutely true. The luminescence came towards me and I towards it. I knew
with a kind of transcendent knowing what it was, and it was communicating
the very fullness of itself and I was aware of the magnitude of it. It was
infinite, and boundless and perfect. But I resisted it. It was
overwhelmingly attractive. 2085.

I returned to the black tunnel, I don't know for how long, as everything
seemed to happen instantaneously. I came again to the light, but this time
it was brighter and stronger than the previous times. I got used to the
light and saw a clear sky, without sun or clouds, neither hot nor cold. I
looked at my chest and could see no damage, and I began to praise God, I was
well and I was saying: "Thanks to Christ for saving me, nothing happened to
me". I was feeling myself and could not believe what I was seeing. I looked
up and there was no one there. The floor was brilliant like crystal, and
then I saw a person dressed in something like a white nightgown, who came
near me but without my being able to see his face and hands, which were
shining light. When he was near me I told him I was working with explosives
and they had blown-up on me, but without harming me. He told me to calm
myself. I asked him who he was and he replied that he was the Angel Gabriel. 2083.

floating just above near the ceiling of the room, I was aware of the doctors
and nurses panicking over my lifeless body, I 'looked down' and could 'see'
my still body, it looked a very blue color. I felt so comfortable and

rope. That's when I saw the fuzzy white circle of white light in the
distance. it wasn't the sun I remember seeing that to. I thought at the
light oh no not yet please I like this one im not ready yet. at the same
time I felt as though I knew everything I had ever wanted to know and more
at that young age. I knew that whatever happened in this life it was all ok.
it was all just experiences. good or bad. The feeling of complete
unconditional love was so very strong I almost didn't want to leave it. but
I knew I belonged with it and I would be back with it. so I chose to go back

this darkened tunnel extremely fast and looking upwards I could see this
white light at the end of the tunnel. Your spirit goes through this
tunnel like "Whoosh" and you are there standing in the brightest white light
you have ever known. The noonday sun cannot compare to it's brightness
or stark whiteness. You instantly feel this bright white light raining

When I reached my last and final shelter, I felt as though I could go no
deeper as I locked the door behind me and waited within the security of my
refuge. Somehow I ""knew"" that there I would remain and had reached the end
of my journey. This last refuge became a fortress different than those
before it. It seemed more calm and tranquil there than that of my previous
shelters. The pain which I had desperately sought to elude was never able to
penetrate the walls of this refuge as it had been able to before. I left all
contacts with my physical body far behind and above me where they would
remain. There I left all physical ties behind, leaving only my inner
""self,"" the core of my ""being,"" then separated from the external world
far above and outside the new world of my ""self."" Before I entered this
refuge, which was a fortress stronger than those before it, I shed all
contacts with my physical body, leaving only my inner ""self"" to pass
through the walls of this fortress. 2077.

darkness. Then my life memories including ones I knew nothing about
flashed through my brain, then it all faded slowly away into total darkness
again. Next I knew was I was standing on what seemed like terracotta
sand. Even though all around me was total darkness, I knew I was in a
large circular cavern or hall of sorts that had arched doorways again in
darkness and above me was water with gentle ripples flowing across it , the
water was about twenty foot above and through it I could see what I took at
the time to be a bright moon that was acting as a type of spotlight upon me.
I had no pain or discomfort of any kind and my thinking and senses where
normal. I felt warm and very comfortable and very emotional with an

by each person in turn: I affect john, john affects ray, ray affects sam,
etc. and I experienced all of it. I was still frightened and sad about my

I felt totally at peace and very safe and love was in me around everywhere,
I was calm and had no thought of the accident, no pain just absolute peace,
I remember thinking that I could still think, and how alert I was, then a
voice said to me do you want to stay or do you want to go back, the clarity
of that sentence was amazing, and as clear as it was I didn't know if it was
male or female, I said I've just had a baby, [4 1/2 months old], the next

Then I felt myself just drift away and leave my body. I remember that it was

I no longer had the shape of a human being . My consciousness was spherical

saw my entire life pass before me in minute detail. In fact I saw much
more than words and deeds but how they effected those around me .. It was

and I wondered about my mother's face and I saw the light move closer to me
and it wasn't a pinpoint anymore. It was big and squarer. It was
coming to me and it was okay. I had this sudden thought "He'll be
okay." Some sense of him being cared for and I could just let
go. I thought, " I go alone." and I relaxed. I felt myself
move forward and meld into light. My shoulders moved back and I had a
last second of choice and I thought NO. I pulled back away, turned

reached out and took my hand. I felt, I guess a rapture-like feeling
of peace and serenity. I saw a man in shadows who said, "you can go
back if you want or you can continue this journey." I wanted to come

I was about 6 feet up over my body. I thought to myself," I must be dead as
I am looking at my dead body down there." I was very calm and began to move
very slowly upwards and it was more and more beautiful into an infinity of

to prevent the fall. Then I just remember that I saw myself from somewhere
up sitting down and watching up, and then I went, I went with an enormous
speed heading to a white shinning light on a channel. I remember I could see
where I was going to, I could see the end of that tunnel, brightly
sparkling. When I got there it was extremely white and I remember seeing
somebody but I do not know who it was, an old person, I'm sure of that and
we had a long long chat. After that I remember coming back with a bigger

In March 1984, I was six months pregnant, and awoke with severe pain in my
leg. In preparation of going to the ER, I began to feel faint, and
felt like I was going to pass out. I recovered within a few minutes,
and my husband quickly drove to the ER. While in the ER, I was lying
down, and began to feel faint again. The ER staff quickly wheeled me
into an ER room where they began to frantically "work" on me. During
this time, I could hear them say, "We're losing her and the baby's heart
rate is dropping." A nurse also apologized to me as she told me that I
was going to feel tremendous pain while sticking a needle in my wrist to
take blood and measure the oxygen level. Despite all the frantic
comments, and people rushing about, I felt nothing, but pure peace and no
pain, and felt like I was floating. I remember thinking, "I just
want to go to sleep." A voice quickly said, "No, it's not your time."

English expanded version
2/25/10 From Canada.
I was in the school parking lot, having a cigarette, when my friends where
going somewhere in the car, so I sat on the hood of the car, and he pulled
out with me on and then revved the car forward resulting in my body flying
off the hood of the car onto the side. I then landed on my feet but
unfortunately the G-force of the cars speed made me fall on my back very
hard and very fast. I then hit my head at a great speed. At this time as
soon as impact, my vision went black. Through the seconds of my darkened
vision I saw what seemed like multiple bright lights surround my body's
shape. The colors where very bright Yellowish white mixed with a neon blue.
Seconds later I regained consciousness and was in shock lying on the ground.
