Experience description: 

11 Nov 2003

I was in a very deep sleep, surrounded by total darkness, very intense. Even in a dreamless sleep one could expect to see something. I was far away. At 4.00am I became fully awake; there was a light so bright that I could not stand it for long. Everything moved past me.

12 Nov 2003

Still very tired, feeling dizzy, detached.
 

13 Nov 2003

I felt very restless. I fell quickly asleep again, still feeling dizzy. Lunch was brought to my room.  Then wow! I felt something which really moved me! My heart was beating very fast; then there was a buzzing sound and I was outside my body, about a meter distant... I re-entered through my head. I cried and cried in misery.

I fell asleep again, a deep but strange sleep. Shadows came and went, then it became lighter. It was not dark as previously. I felt God's presence. He summoned me there and I also knew He wanted to be with me. There was also a good angel there. Years ago when I felt quite lonely, God let me know that we are never alone, there is always Someone with you. While the angel was there I said to God that I knew at least that an angel was with me. Though I could no longer see him, I still felt him clearly... he wanted me to make a choice whether to stay or not. I wanted to leave the choice to God's will, and not decide myself. I wanted Him to know that with all the suffering of human experience, I was not incline to go back, but I left it totally in His hands.

The previous evenings I had eaten well. But the thought came to me: "...the shadow of death".

During each "absence", I was at first in intensely dark surroundings; I could not determine the size of the space. But I felt no anxiety, I just knew for sure that God is with me; as he is everywhere, so he is here. So I felt quite calm... Suddenly I found myself in a large light space, standing in a sort of entranceway, near a door, but I had no memory of coming through the door, I was just there. To the left was a kind of barrier, and beyond were a number of angels, and God Himself.

I felt completely welcomed, as if coming home after a long trip away. I felt total communication from them but without wanting to be a part of them. I felt enormous love and warmth and an intense feeling that I could be completely myself; here there was no need to hide anything, I was accepted just as I am. I even felt equal to the angels and to God Himself, there seemed no distinction between them and me based on appearance or manners, as we have here on earth. I even felt completely free to speak my mind to God. When he asked me whether I chose to remain above, or return below, to my amazement I dared to speak my mind. I gladly left the choice to God, to send me back as He willed, and to do it in the way He thought right. He consulted separately so that I could not hear what was said, though I saw the outcome was good. Whatever was said against me I could not hear, though I knew some things were said...

The “angels” and “God” and even I myself were not all radiant white; the whole space was radiant white; there were no shadows, but it was dazzling. Yet I could see no faces. That would be a detached and impersonal experience here on earth, but there it was absolutely not; there was no necessity for faces, or bodily form. God means "I Am" and that is what you experience too, that you "am".

The space was quite large; I had the impression of a great light dome over everything, but with no glass; it was an open space, but with the appearance of containing you, a feeling of protecting everything.

The shadows that dispersed from me were also quite separate. The room below, where my body lay, had no sunlight at that time, but the shadows around me seemed good... I would gladly have stayed with God but I could not cross that barrier, I came back. I was given to know that it was not my time. When I think of it now, a year later, I feel an intense homesickness for His presence, that enormous source of love...

I had another experience 4˝ years previously, with great spiritual and physical implications, where God asked me whether I wanted to pass above or remain below. Our son is confined in a psychiatric clinic, and at that time I wanted to be taken up to heaven; it was the most difficult time in my life.  I chose to stay here, because my human self has ties here; we have 3 children with ADHD/autism. I was then told that He would bring us to calm waters and green pastures. It gave me great comfort, as I was about ready to crack up. I realized that God looks after our son, that there was a purpose in what he was going through.

During the NDE, God was involved in a dialogue with the angels concerning my choice whether to stay or go back. Some of it I was allowed to know, as it concerned me directly, but not all of it. My choice to come back here was received joyously. I was given to know that there would be a greater joy in store for me. I was awed to feel that the celebration of my presence there led to my coming back here... In the bible it says Jesus stands attendance on his bride... Now I can feel what that means. I look forward to this in awe. For now I have a task still to accomplish here below.
