EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

Just prior to the experience, I was about to have sexual intercourse, when I had a seizure. I became dizzy and laid down, and closed my eyes.

At first what I saw looked like the snow on a TV, but I was kind of sucked in closer and closer and it looked more like atoms, and even closer, electrons and protons, and eventually what I was seeing looked exactly the same as a depiction of String Theory. At that point I was being sucked into the universe, which from my point of view, was within, inside me. Everything in the universe was me and I felt every atom, every particle. Consciousness was universal, and as I was alive I had been disconnected from the universal consciousness. Something happened to time which I cannot describe.

Then I heard the voice, from within. It/I/We said "This is peace, this is love, this truth. You know what this is. You have been here before. You will be here again. Accept it, and let yourself enter it. It is time to come back." It wasn't necessarily verbal communication, but more of another sense, one that we do not have when we are alive. In this experience I saw that this life, is extremely short, it is not even a second.

Life and Death had new meanings. Life was suffering, and Death was pure pleasure. I did not want to come back to life, I was afraid of it, like someone is afraid of death. But I despised life, it was removed from the truth and the love and the peace, and pleasure. Life meant Death to me. And Death meant everything good. But someone saved me, and I was brought back, and it was painful, and it felt foreign, sharp, unkind, and jolting.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes Yes, I am a scientific person, so I describe it in scientific terms. A religious person would describe the things I experienced in religious terms. For example I think the voice would be recognized as god, and the atomic particles may be recognized as angels.
