EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I had 2 near death experiences, at 5 years old and at 15. My 1st near death experience was when I was 5 years old. I lived in an apartment with my mother and siblings in Chicago, IL. My mother who battled from depression was given green and black capsules for her illness. At the time my mother would hide candy from us and would only give us candy after dinner. I used to see her take medicine in the bathroom and thought that she was taking candy. After she took her medicine she went and attended to my younger brother and sister. I climbed on top of the sink and opened the medicine cabinet and opened her pills and swallowed a few. When my mother called for me I ran from the bathroom and everything around me went black. I don't know how long I was out, (later on, I found out it was almost 2 hours) my mother did not drive and she called my father from work. I was taken to Cook County Hospital. My near death experience went like this: 

I was climbing up a long golden ladder up through the clouds, and I was climbing very very high and at the end of the ladder, there was a man, (for me, it was God) who met me. He was of medium built with white shoulder length hair, with a white shiny white beard like angel hair and had on a white robe with sash. He took me by my hand and we walked towards a marble bench where he sat me in his lap. I felt very weak and tired from the long climb. As he sat me on his lap and laid in his arms, I reached up and touched his beard with my right hand and felt the most immense sense of love and understanding, (until this day this feeling has never left me). He stood me up and took me by the hand and as we were walking, we went to a white marble room where there was a huge screen and pictures of my life were flashing very fast. In the screen, were the most surprising images that has never left me, it was of a previous life. From backward images I saw myself as a young blond haired young man. I was killed in a car accident and I saw myself leaving the scene with a briefcase walking towards the screen. Before that I saw that I had lived in a suburb in a pale yellow ranch home with a long driveway. Outside the driveway next to the car, I was saying good bye to my wife, my almost 2 year old daughter, and son about 4 years old. After the kisses and good byes I got in my car with my briefcase to go to work. After the review, I was lead to another marble room where there was a huge open book on a marble table. My guide sat behind the table, and with his index finger pointed in the book, he scanned through the page to see if he found my name on the book. His head lifted up and looked at me, a wave of guilt overwhelmed me. I did something very very wrong, no one had to judge me. I judged myself and knew I did wrong. My guide spoke to me through my mind and I was shown a picture through a cloud of my mother dead in the center of the floor with my father, brother and sister crying around her. He told me it was not my time and that I had to go back for her. After what was shown to me I went down very quickly and found myself in the hospital room with doctors and nurses working on me. I had rubber tubes through my nose and was strapped down. I stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks. Till this day after the review of the previous life I do not drive a car. Since this near death experience I have not forgotten this. I also had another near death experience at the age of 15 since these experiences I always felt that I have one foot in heaven and one foot on earth and not truly or completely here. 

Judged by Works: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 

My second near death experience was when I was 15 years old in Hartford, CT. I had gotten out of a day of high school classes and went alone to a dentist appointment to have a molar removed. The dentist had given me ether in a mask for me to breath into and I was completely out. In the experience I saw a black and white circle going round and round then there was a noise as if someone had turned off an electrical signal or switch. After hearing the signal turned off, I felt complete detachment from my body and detachment for what I had on earth. I was in a vast black & white circle that turned into a tunnel and was drawn to it in a vacuum going very fast. While going through the tunnel, I heard what sounded to me a roaring freight train with fast ding ding ding sounds. I was pulled by the top back of my head going very fast into the vast semi-clouded tunnel. As I was going through the tunnel, I also heard wind chimes ringing. As I was midway through the long tunnel, I found myself diverted to a long hallway. There were 3 large oak doors, one the left, one across to the right and one going straight. I was drawn to opened the first door to the left. When I went inside the room the door closed behind me by it self and I was in pitch black darkness. I was conscious of where I was and it seemed that there were other people there in the dark mumbling. I couldn't understand why I was there and I felt very sad. I was saying in my mind, Jesus, I don't belong here and feeling very sad. I was praying to Jesus for help. As I prayed the Our Father, I saw a pin prick circle of light and the circle was getting larger and larger, as I saw myself in the dentist room. I saw myself, (my body) on the dentist chair with the dentist and nurse violently pulling me and shaking me to wake up. I saw the doctor extremely upset and the nurse very distraught. As I was seeing this I was pulled right back into my body. After going into my body, I was very weak like a ton of brick were piled right on top of me, and the dentist and nurse were very upset with me. The nurse right away held my head down by my knees to bring blood flow to my head. I did not go home till about an hour later because of the weakness. This experience was real and it has never left me. I know now that when you die, you loose close attachments to the ones you leave behind and to personal possessions. There is care but not heartache. To me there is a mission why we are here. There was total detachment of feelings no sorrow but care and there is a higher power one we have no control over.
