Anatole C Probable NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

when I decided to give up trying to reach the shore and just let myself drown, suddenly everything seemed to stand totally still. I could clearly feel/see that the wind still blew, the water still lapped around me, the sun continued to shine bright and strong. I could feel these elements but they did not effect the void time/space that was created around me.

then I heard a voice directly in my mind. I clearly perceived that it came to me from above-left side.

This being I did not perceive as being "more" than myself. it was more like a "similar" to myself.

a telepathic dialogue took place in which certain questions were asked and I was compelled to answer truthfully.

at the end, I made a decision and at that point, the "void" stopped and, with difficulty, I made it back to the shore.
