Julia M's NDE. English expanded version 2/6/05 From Spain, Original in Spanish translated by Lola. Realizing that none of them heard me, I saw a beautiful white light similar to a beautiful sunshine, but that light did not glare.  On the contrary I perceived a peace I cannot express with words. I will not be able to define the sensation in feeling like this.  You feel nothing, no cold, no warm, no weight, no pain, no happiness no sadness, it cannot be explained, this is something you have to live to know how it feels.  I felt so good that I decided to walk in and find someone to tell my mother and my aunt to stop suffering, that I was very well, that they were not to cry for me as it hurt me to see them cry and that I did not want them to cry.  I wanted them to see that I was very well.

Tazelle's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05  i was in a warm and very comfortable place not on this earth but in dark space and with the feeling that i had been here before like i was home at last.  i had no eyes that i could tell but i could see in every direction at the same time not only could see but knew what was around me and that i had many more senses than smell, sight, hearing, speech, etc., and an ocean of knowledge i had no knowledge of earth or my wife or son and saw no people.

Lisa S's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05  Where my sense of "being" was rushing throughout the hospital halls at great speed. Someone was with me (hair rises while I type about it) and this person or thing had a great urgent "hurry up" type attitude and was trying to get me to hurry. I couldn't figure it out. We got into the room where I was at (through a wall) and the person was  holding my hand. I remember them (but can't see them, can only feel the hand) urging me to see what was going on (i was in no hurry or had no inkling or need to look), I finally did. I was absolutely horrified! NDE from drug overdose.

Heidi D's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05  Next thing I remember was a total feeling of happiness and peace.  I remember floating above a field of blue and yellow lupins.  There aren't really words to describe the amount of joy I felt.  I remember looking to the right and seeing green rolling hills.  The colors were so brilliant, the air seemed perfect.  Then I looked to my left and I saw me in the back of a red Jeep laid out behind the back seat. I saw my sister Kelly sitting in the back seat sobbing and shaking me asking me to please wake up.

Andy S's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05 I don’t know how long that lasted because time just didn’t seem to matter, but then I felt warm and felt a light, not saw one, it just grew brighter and more intense filling every bit of my being.  It was very bright, crisp white, and it spoke to me, but not with words.  The light ran through me, it was me, and when it spoke it was as if you understood the light not the words.  You could feel it to, not like you feel bright hot sun, but you could just feel the light.  I don’t know how long it all lasted, but then it parted.
NDE from surgery complications.

Barbara S's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05 The next thing I remember was coming into a clear white light.  I lost all fear of drowning.  I knew that my body was perfectly safe.  I felt this total love and acceptance from this light.  I realized that the white light had a voice in it and was separate from me.  I also realized that I was still me but was part of this white light also.  I belonged to it and it belonged to me.  I was told that you are here to gain knowledge and to learn how to love.  When I was told this I realized that when the entity say "You" it didn't mean just me, it meant the human race.  I understood all the ramifications of love and knowledge when it said this to me.  It didn't mean physical love as much as learning to accept all races and knowing that no soul is better than another.  Child drowning NDE

Leslie M's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05  I felt myself leave my body. It was as if I was being sucked by a vacuum from the top of my head.  Then, I was in a dark tunnel, and SPEEDING upwards towards a light.  When I got very close to the light, I became conscious of a 'being' in the light, welcoming me as if I had been waited for, for a long, long time.  Gladly, and with love.  On my right were three 'beings'.  We communicated, without speaking.  I cannot remember much of this, except I was asked (apparently rhetorically) if I wanted to stay.  I answered yes, because I really felt I had come home, finally.  But they communicated that my time here was not yet over, that I had more to do.   NDE after Childbirth .

Joe D's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05 I was lead by other entities to a this strange machine.  I remember it making a low hum, but I couldn't hear it, I could still sense the vibration it made though. The tone of this was something that had to be done- very solemn.. Then I seemed to enter or become one, or passed through this machine thing and entered into a tunnel.. and as I had described elsewhere, I had none of my earthly senses.  I felt I was infinitely small, conducted through this tunnel, yet squeezed through it, or perhaps fitting through it perfectly, as if the tunnel and I were of the same.. The length of time I was in the tunnel seemed instantaneous and infinite, simultaneously.  It's a feeling that I just cannot describe in words.

Cindy D's NDE. English expanded version 1/16/05 Then all of a sudden everything was black.  As I was coming back into “sight” and out of the black darkness, to my surprise, I was floating on the ceiling looking down at my body watching my three friends and boyfriend over my body trying to shake me and slapping me lightly on the face trying to revive me. My body was limp and they could get no response from me. I watched the whole thing. As I watched, I was scared.  I didn’t understand any of this and thought I was dead.  I was so scared because I thought, “Omg, I’m dead and they are going to bury me, but I’m not dead.  I can see them and myself!”  My next thought was, “I’m too young to die!” NDE from going unconscious.

Sam B's NDE. English expanded version 12/25/04  Time was of essence but not on my side.  After 9 quick minutes of persistence, maneuvering became difficult.  My limbs seized, my chest grew tight my efforts were useless.  Time was now about 14 minutes: the water got warm...bright flowers glowed in front of my vision, soon after covered by a frost-like haze.  I pushed out a softly spoken "Help" only for myself to hear.  At the next moment..." She has no pulse, she's a led weight, start counting!1!2!3!4....I watched and heard a woman in a orange jacket, letters on her back, "US Coast Guard" was talking to me, for a brief moment.
