EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

I was struck in the head with a pistol, the blow immediately forced me to the ground. There I was straddled and continuously struck in the head with the pistol, a small guitar and other items. The last item I was aware of in my body to hit me was the pistol, his first weapon. After a few strikes my mind went to a dark place with a huge light at the end, almost like a tunnel. The next thing I knew I was above my body, at ceiling height, and I could see him on top of me beating me, switching items when they got too bloody and slippery to grip. I didn't feel any pain or sense of panic during my out of body experience. I remember having thoughts like "What is he doing now?" and "Am I going to be ok?". I felt strangely happy, like if I had been in my physical form I would have a smile on my face. I felt no fear, pain, or concern with anything else. I remember my voice saying "When is he going to stop?" while looking at my lifeless body. I saw him kicking me in the face, my hands were still protecting my face but my inner self had let go of the fight. My eyes were closed and I was totally unconscious. I have no recollection of how it felt when he was attacking me, I only have visual images in my brain of the pain I should have felt.

Any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience?     No      

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Uncertain      It is difficult to try to explain to the people in my life, it is an experience that only I went through, and to others it seems merely impossible. I have only shared the experience with a handful of people close to me.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     I was physically assaulted by an ex-boyfriend. I was beaten in the head with the back end of a pistol, and other various items.

What was your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience?           I was unconscious.

            Was the experience dream like in any way?   It felt dream-like. I was confused if I had really experienced an out of body experience for a long time, I didn't think they were possible until I started hearing other stories. For a few months I thought I was crazy to think I had seen myself out side of my body and did not try to share or express my experience.

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?     Yes     I was above my body at ceiling height and behind my attacker. I couldn't see myself but I knew I had no body form up there.

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            I felt very calm, I only asked myself questions but was not afraid of the out come. I knew I was not dead yet but I wondered if I was close to death or what would happen if I went back to my body. I didn't have a desire to go back to my physical form. In a sense I was worry free and felt nothing but an unconditional love surrounding me. I felt I had nothing to worry about. I was free from pain. I had no idea what pain even was, or concern of being hurt. I felt like I was ok. Like someone was with me letting me know it was going to be ok, I did not have to panic.

Did you hear any unusual sounds or noises?           There was a calm quietness. I could hear muffled yelling from my attacker only when I tried to focus on what he was saying. I was trying to figure out why he was hitting my body with such anger. When I realized I couldn't understand him completely I let myself listen to the quiet and felt peace.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           No

Did you have any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?   Yes     Before I did not believe in the human soul. I never believed experiences like mine existed or were humanly possible. It made me think a lot about belief systems, God and the after life.

How has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices? Career choices?       Over time accepting what I went through I have started to think more about my relationships and doing things the right way.
