EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

As a teacher, I was supervising students coming out two doors of the cafeteria for recess.  One child was running very fast when he should have been walking as there were 120 children filtering into a very small space.  I put my hand out to sign to him to slow down and whistled at him as we made eye contact.  THE NEXT REMEMBRANCE WAS LOOKING DOWN AT MY STILL BODY LYING ON THE CONCRETE FROM ABOUT 25 YARDS AWAY AND ABOUT SIX FEET IN THE AIR.  I said to myself "that's my body, but I am over here".  I HAD THIS FEELING OF TOTAL PEACEFULNESS--A PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING.  MY "BODY"  DID NOT EXIST--MY CONSCIOUSNESS WAS TOTALLY ETHEREAL.  TIME DID NOT EXIST EITHER.  I WAS AT PERFECT PEACE!  When I joined my body again,  I still felt a sense by me of perfect peace and I didn't want to open my eyes to the muffled concerns of the three girls that I observed looking at my body when I had this out of body experience.  Finally their voices were heard by my conscious ears and I opened my eyes to pain.  I was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury.  But, the out of body experience certainly changed my spiritual views and I am no longer afraid of death.
