Experience description: 

I WAS NINE YEARS OLD WHEN THE EVENT HAPPENED DURING GYM CLASS OUTSIDE. WE WERE WEARING T-SHIRTS AND LONG PANTS. THAT'S WHY I THINK IT HAPPENED AROUND MAY. THE GYM TEACHER SET UP AN OBSTACLE COURSE USING THE JUNGLE GYM, SWING SET ,AND SLIDING BOARD. I FELL OFF THE 8 FOOT SLIDING BOARD AND RUPTURED MY SPLEEN, BROKEN SOME RIBS ON MY LEFT SIDE. WHEN I LANDED FROM FALLING OFF I WAS KNOCKED OUT. MY SISTER WHO WAS THEIR WHEN IT HAPPENED TOLD MY MOTHER AND FATHER I WAS OUT FOR TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES DURING THE TIME I WAS KNOCKED OUT.

 I REMEMBER SEEING MY GYM TEACHER, AND SISTER TALKING TO ME. IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE TAKING INSIDE MY HEAD, I COULDN'T HEAR THEM WITH MY EARS LIKE YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE HOLDING A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE TALKING TO MY MIND. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN ITS LIKE THAT VOICE YOU TALK TO WHEN YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE LIKE YOUR SENSES.

AFTER I SAW MY SISTER AND GYM TEACHER I COULD SEE MY SELF LEAVE MY BODY AND FLOAT UP TOWARDS THE SKY I COULD SEE IT BUT NOT FEEL IT. I COULD SEE THE OTHER STUDENTS STANDING IN LINE MOST OF THEM LAUGHING. I KEPT FLOATING HIGHER AND HIGHER, IT WAS LIKE BEING IN A PLANE OR A ROCKET SHIP I COULD SEE EVERYTHING GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER I WAS SCARED. I WENT THROUGH THE CLOUDS AND CONTINUED GOING HIGHER UNTIL I WAS THROUGH THE CLOUDS AND IN AN AREA WERE IT WAS STARTING TO GET DARK.

I WOULD CONTINUE GOING HIGHER UNTIL I STARTED HEARING SINGING, AND JOYFUL MUSIC. NOT LONG AFTERWARDS I SAW A LITTLE WHITE LIGHT AHEAD OF ME. I STARTED FLOATING TOWARDS THIS LITTLE LIGHT, IT GOT BRIGHTER, AND LARGER. THE CLOSER I GOT TOWARDS THIS LIGHT STARTED TO MAKE OUT THIS VOICE, IT WAS A VOICE I NEVER HEARD BEFORE, IT WAS STRONG BUT YET GENTLE. THE BRIGHT LIGHT ALMOST REMINDED ME OF HEADING TOWARDS THE SUN AT THIS POINT.

I STOPPED FLOATING AT THIS POINT. IT WAS LIKE BEING IN THE BOTTOM OF A WELL LOOKING UP AT THE OPENING AT THE TOP AND WANDERING WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DARK HOLE . WHEN THIS SHADOW APPEARED IT LOOKED LIKE A TALL MAN IN A LONG ROBE WITH LONG SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR ,WITH A MOUSTACHE AND A LONG BEARD. HE BENT DOWN REACHING OUT HIS HAND TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS DARK HOLE. AS HE WAS REACHING HE SAID COME FOLLOW ME. BEING SCARED AND REMEMBERING WHAT MY PARENTS TOLD ABOUT GOING WITH STRANGERS I SAID I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND SAID NO.

HE TOLD ME I'M THE ALPHA, AND OMEGA THE BEGINNING AND THE END. AT THIS TIME I COULD SEE SHADOWY PEOPLE SINGING AND LAUGHING GATHERING AROUND THE OPENING OF THIS DARK HOLE I WAS IN SAYING COME ON YOU WILL LIKE IT HERE. I TOLD THIS SHADOWY PERSON WHO SEEMED AT THE TIME TO BE THE SPOKES PERSON OR THE ONE IN CHARGE OF THIS HAPPY GROUP OF PEOPLE IT SEEMS LIKE FUN AND YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. HE TOLD ME YES YOU DO, YOU NEVER MEET ME BUT I KNOW YOUR FAMILY, AND THERE ARE OTHERS FROM YOUR FAMILY WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU AND WHO KNOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY VERY WELL. AT THIS TIME MORE PEOPLE STARTED TO SHOW UP TELLING ME THEIR NAMES, AND REASSURING ME THAT THIS BRIGHT LIGHT IS A NICE PLACE TO BE. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HAPPY AND ALWAYS BE HEALTHY. 

WHEN THEY SAID THAT, I REMEMBERED WHAT I LEARNED IN SUNDAY SCHOOL ABOUT WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN HEAVEN. THE TALL SHADOWY PERSON WHO APPEARED IN THE BEGINNING TOLD ME THE SAME THING AGAIN, "COME FOLLOW ME."  I SAID I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE, MY FAMILY WOULD MISS ME. IT CAN'T BE MY TIME. HE TOLD ME THE THINGS I HOLD TRUE IN MY HEART WILL SEPARATE AND NO LONGER BE AS ONE. HE TOLD ME THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IN MY LIFE UNTIL I RETURN HERE AGAIN. I STILL TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE WITH MY FAMILY.

AT THIS POINT I WAS REALLY  SCARED BEING ONLY NINE YEARS OLD I JUST WANTED TO BE SAFE BACK AT HOME WITH MY FAMILY. WHEN I TOLD HIM "NO" FOR THE THIRD TIME HE SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE MAD BECAUSE IT GOT DARK ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS ANGRY, MAD SOUNDING VOICE THAT SCARED ME EVEN MORE STARTED TO LAUGH AND BEING CONFIRMING WHAT THE OTHER VOICE TOLD ME ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I RETURN HOME . IT ALSO SHOWED THE EVENTS LEADING INTO THEM. IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A MOVIE ABOUT YOUR LIFE FROM THE TIME YOU ARE AT NOW TILL THE TIME YOU RETURN TO THE DARK PIT ,OR WELL WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHT. AFTER WATCHING WHAT I CALL A MOVIE ABOUT MY LIFE I AWAKENED FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A DREAM I WAS HAVING LIKE THAT FROM WHEN YOU WAKE-UP FROM SLEEPING, I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE I WAS OR WHO WAS AROUND ME. STILL SCARED FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A NIGHTMARE, OR A BAD DREAM I SAW MY MOM AND DAD STANDING BESIDE ME AT THE HOSPITAL.

I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE THEM I CRIED, THEY WERE GLAD TO SEE ME TOO. THEY GAVE ME A HUG BEFORE THEY HAD TO RUSH ME INTO THE OPERATING ROOM, THEY REASSURED ME EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK. THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER OF THAT TIME. WHILE I WAS IN GETTING OPERATED ON I HAD ANOTHER ONE OR TIME THIS ONE WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THEN THE OTHER ONE ONLY THIS TIME I SAW TERRIBLE TIMES THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE  EVENTS IN THE WORLD AROUND ME AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES. BOTH SHOWING ME EVENTS CORRELATING WITH EACH OTHER WHEN THE EVENTS IN MY LIFE ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

I HAD TWO MIN. TO LIVE.

What was your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience?           I WAS ALERT, AND AWARE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON AROUND ME.

            Was the experience dream like in any way?   NO, IT WAS LIKE I COULD SENSE WHAT WAS GOING ON IT FELT REAL, IT WAS LIKE THESE VIRTUAL REALITY GAMES THEY HAVE OUT NOW WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU OR PART OF THE GAME IT WAS SO LIFE LIKE.

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?     Yes

IT FELT AS THOUGH MY BODY STAYED ON THE GROUND AND MY MIND AND SENSES LEFT MY BODY

Did you hear any unusual sounds or noises?           ONLY NOISES YOU CAN RELATE TO LIKE SINGING, LAUGHING, SOUNDS THAT TRIGGER A NORMAL RESPONSE. ONES YOU WOULD REACT TO.

            Describe:      WHEN I WENT PASSED THE CLOUDS AND IT GOT DARK IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS IN A DEEP WELL AT FIRST AND THEN IT SEEMED TO BE A TUNNEL THE WAY THE LIGHT MADE IT APPEAR.

IT STARTED OUT SMALL LIKE A LIGHT FROM A SMALL PEN FLASHLIGHT, TO THE SIZE OF A VERY LARGE CIRCLE. LIKE THE ONES THEY SHOW ON TV WERE A TRAIN ENTERS A TUNNEL, TO WERE IT ALMOST COMES OUT JUST BEFORE IT APPEARS TO HIT YOU AND THEY PAN AWAY.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Yes

I SAW A TALL DARK SHADOWY FIGURE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRIGHT LIGHT REACHING OUT HIS HAND.

THEY SAID THEY WERE RELATIVES AND WANTED ME TO COME AND JOIN THEM ON THE OUTSIDE OF THIS PIT.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Yes

I LEARNED AFTER THE EXPERIENCE FROM MY MOM AND DAD WHEN I WAS ABOUT 21 YEARS OLD WHEN I GOT THE NERVE TO TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS AFRAID THEY THOUGHT I MIGHT BE CRAZY OR SOMETHING WHEN I TELL THEM. BUT I ASKED MY DAD WHAT MY GRAND FATHERS NAME WAS ,BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO MEET HIM HE DIED BEFORE I WAS BORN. HE TOLD BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER IT NOW BUT IT WAS THE SAME AS THE SHADOWY FIGURE TALKING TO ME TELLING ME TO JOIN THEM. I FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE PEOPLE TALKING TO ME WERE RELATIVES WHO PASSED-AWAY, BEFORE I WAS BORN AND I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THEM OR WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE. THEY WERE SURPRISED WHEN I STARTED TO TELL THEM NAMES OF WHO I TALKED TO AND DESCRIBED THEM TO THEM. THEY EVEN GAVE ME CLUES ,OR HINTS LIKE THEY TOLD THAT WOULD HELP ME TO KNOW WHO THEY WERE ,ONLY I DIDN'T KNOW THEM OR WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THEM, WHEN I TOLD MY MOM AND DAD THOSE HINTS THEY BEGAN TO CRY AND TOLD ME NEVER TO REPEAT THEM TO MY AUNTS, AND UNCLES. I BELIEVE WE WILL GO TO HEAVEN OR SOME PLACE WHEN WE DIE.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Yes

TO GIVE ONE EXAMPLE, ONE OUT OF MANY THIS CAN BE VERIFIED FROM SOMEONE OUTSIDE MY FAMILY NOW. IT IS MY SECOND EX-WIFE. WHEN THE TALL SHADOWY FIGURE TOLD, AND SHOWED ME WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME HE SAID I WILL  BE MARRIED THREE TIMES ,I WILL BE MARRIED TO MY FIRST WIFE ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER A LONG YEAR OF ABUSE TO ME. WHICH MY OLDEST SISTER CAN VERIFY BECAUSE I TALKED TO HER ABOUT IT .IT DID LAST ONLY ONE YEAR, AND I WAS ABUSED. I HAD HOT TEA POURED OVER ME WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER, OTHER TIME I HAD HOT EGGS, AND BACON DUMPED DOWN MY BACK BECAUSE SHE BURNT THEM. THAT'S ONLY A FEW INCIDENTS. 

HE TOLD ME I WILL HAVE THREE CHILDREN TO MY SECOND WIFE LIVE IN AN APARTMENT, AND THEN MOVE INTO A HOUSE. WE WILL GET DIVORCED AFTER I LOOSE MY JOB, MY MOM WILL HAVE HEART TROUBLE, AND MY DAD WILL PASS AWAY. I GOT MARRIED THE SECOND TIME BEFORE WE MOVED INTO ARE APARTMENT, BEFORE WE WERE EVEN MARRIED I TOLD MY WIFE TO BE THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WE GOT MARRIED. AT THE TIME SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.  I TRIED TO TELL HER THE REASONS WHY DIDN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED BECAUSE FROM PAST EXPERIENCES COMING TRUE I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ANY MORE REJECTIONS.  BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT IT TO COME TRUE. WELL I DECIDED TO GET MARRIED, MY WIFE AND HER FATHER WENT OUT LOOKING FOR A PLACE FOR US TO LIVE. WHEN THEY CAME BACK MY WIFE WANTED TO TEST ME BECAUSE SHE KNEW FROM ME TELLING HER THAT WE WILL LIVE IN AN APARTMENT AND THEN A HOUSE SHE HAD ME DRAW A PICTURE OF THE APARTMENT I SAW IN MY VISION AND COMPARE IT TO THE APARTMENT WE WERE GOING TO MOVE INTO. THEY HAD RENTED THE APARTMENT SO COULDN'T SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE OR WHERE IT IS LOCATED OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HELP ME TO DRAW WHAT THEY SAW.  I DREW AND DESCRIBE AS I WAS DRAWING WHERE EVERYTHING WAS LOCATED IN HTE APARTMENT FROM THE STAIRS TO THE SKYLIGHT ABOVE THE BED IN THE MASTERS BEDROOM. EVERYTHING MATCHED TO A TEA.

WE HAVE THREE CHILDREN. I TOLD MY EX WIFE THIS BEFORE WE DECIDED TO HAVE CHILDREN, WHAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE AND WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THE TALL SHADOWY FIGURE TOLD ME AND SHOWED ME THE SAME THING I DESCRIBED TO MY WIFE AT THE TIME. I TOLD HER WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TWO GIRLS AND A BOY. THE TWO YOUNGEST WILL LOOK LIKE TWINS. THEY DO MY SON IS THE SAME HEIGHT AND WEIGHT AS MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER. HE TOLD ME WHEN WE WERE GOING TO SEPARATE ALSO ,I DID LOOSE MY JOB, I GOT LAID OFF, ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY MOTHER WENT IN FOR A BY-PASS OPERATION, AND ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER MY DAD PASSED-AWAY, AND ONE MONTH LATER ARE DIVORCE WAS FINALIZED.  ALL IN THE SAME YEAR.

THE SHADOWY FIGURE TOLD ME MY SECOND EX-WIFE WILL MEET SOMEONE VERY TALL RIGHT AFTER WE SEPARATE THEY WILL BE OKAY AT FIRST AND HAVE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS THAT WILL LEAD TO THEIR BREAK-UP.  AND THAT HAPPENED, SHE MEET SOMEONE 6 FOOT 9 INCHES TALL AND BROKE UP BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THERE TIMING RIGHT OR SOMETHING .HE SAID HE WOULD MEET HER SOMEWHERE AND THEN BREAK IT OF AT THE LAST MIN. OR MAKE SOME KIND OF STORY UP WHY THEY CAN'T MEET. SO SHE BROKE IT OFF .THEY'RE NO LONGER GOING OUT TOGETHER. MY EX-WIFE HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE I AFRAID TO TELL HER EVERYTHING.

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions?          JUST THE EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE OR THE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN AND WHERE I AM AT WHEN THEY HAPPEN. TWO DIMENSIONS ONE BEING EVERY DARK AND THE OTHER A PLACE THAT IS EVERY LITE-UP, OR BRIGHT. THE DARK ONE SEEMED EVERY SAD AND LONELY, IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF A LOT OF HURT AND PAIN, VERY SAD PLACE EMOTIONALLY.  THE OTHER SEEMED VERY HAPPY, CHEERFUL A PLACE YOU WANT TO GO TO  PLACE WHERE YOU COULD FEEL EMOTIONALLY HAPPY LIKE THAT SAYING NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Uncertain

ONLY GOING FROM NINE YEARS OLD TO THE TIME I PASS-AWAY, AND WHEN I WAS FLOATING UP AND GOING TO THE DIFFERENT PLACES .THE DARK AND THE LIGHT. IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE IN TWO VERY DIFFERENT PLACES EACH ONE DIFFERENT .NO SENSE OF TIME WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOR EVER, GOING THROUGH ALL THE EVENTS AND THE THINGS THAT WERE TO HAPPEN SEEMED LIKE ALONG TIME ONLY IN REALITY TOOK A VERY SHORT TIME.

Did you have a sense of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?    No

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes

WHAT I CALLED A DEEP WELL OR THE EDGE OF A CLIFF A PLACE WHERE I NEED HELP TO EITHER GET OUT OF OR LIFTED UP OVER. NO I DIDN'T CROSS OVER OR OUT OF THE WELL, HAD A SENSE OF THIS IS GOING TO BE MY FINAL DESTINATION. THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND THIS IS WERE I AM HEADING ,OR STAYING. I WAS FRIGHTENED ,AND SCARED I WANTED TO BE WITH MY FAMILY.

Did you become aware of future events?       Yes

NOT AT FIRST, I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THEM I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THEM AT FIRST. ONLY WHEN THINGS WERE GOING TO HAPPEN I WOULD HAVE DREAMS ABOUT THEM WERE I WOULD WAKE UP SWEATING ,AND SHAKING. I STILL HAVE THEM THE DREAMS THE SHAKING ,AND SWEATING I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT. I'M ALWAYS WORRIED WHAT'S  NEXT, AND I FIND MYSELF WORRYING HOW CAN I BREAK THE CHAIN OF EVENTS BUT CAN'T THEY HAPPEN ANYWAYS. EVERYTHING THAT WAS TOLD TO ME AT NINE YEARS OLD THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ,HAPPENED EVEN WHEN I FORGOT ABOUT THEM. WHEN I DO FORGET I GET COLD CHILLS GOING UP AND DOWN MY BODY I GET EVERY TIRED LIKE I CAN'T CONCENTRATE I DOSE OF IN A DEEP SLEEP AND I'M REMEMBER OR SHOWN AGAIN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND USUALLY A WEEK, SOMETIMES A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENS.

Were you involved in or aware of a decision regarding your return to the body?       Yes

I FELT LIKE I WAS WHEN I TOLD THE FIRST SHADOW NO I DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW YOU. IT FELT LIKE I WAS TELLING A STRANGER I DIDN'T WANT TO  GO WITH HIM EMOTIONALLY.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience that you did not have prior to the experience?         Yes

I COULD TELL WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE I KNEW ,AND SOMETIMES WORK WITH, WHERE I WAS GOING TO LIVE, WHAT KIND OF HOUSES ,HOW MANY CHILDREN I AM GOING TO HAVE ,AND HAVE ALREADY ,WHAT KIND OF JOBS I'M GOING TO HAVE AND WORK AT, CAN DESCRIBE ALL OF THEM FROM A DREAM I HAD, ALL THIS AFTER MY ACCIDENT BACK IN 1969,I WAS NINE YEARS OLD A SMALL CHILD IF SOME ONE TOLD BACK THEN THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN I WOULDN'T BELIEVE THEM I DIDN'T HAVE NONE OF THESE THINGS BACK THEN JUST A STRONG BELIEF IN THE BIBLE.

Did you have any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?   Yes

I CAN REMEMBER A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW I WAS GROWING UP I WAS HAPPY AND CARE FREE. AS TIME GOES ON I'M JUST THE OPPOSITE SCARED, FRIGHTENED WANTING TO CHANGE WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE. KNOWING I CAN'T AND HAVING TO EXCEPT WHAT IS HAPPENING SINCE EVERYTHING THAT WAS PREDICTED HAPPENED ALREADY AND WHAT LIES AHEAD CHANGED MY LIFE TOTALLY.

How has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices? Career choices?       IT TOLD ME I WOULD BE MARRIED THREE TIMES ,DIVORCED TWO OUT OF THE THREE .THE THIRD TIME I WILL MEET SOMEONE WHO HAS DARK HAIR AND A SON.  GROWING UP AND LOOKING BACK AT ALL THE GIRLS I DATED NOT KNOWING AT THE TIME UNTIL IT WAS SHOWN TO ME BY MY BROTHER JOKINGLY ALL THE GIRLS I DATED, AND WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A GIRL IS THAT THEY ALL HAD DARK HAIR .

THE EXPERIENCE SHOWED ME THAT MY FAMILY, SINCE THAT IS WHAT I HOLD STRONG IN MY HEART AND WANTED TO GO BACK TO WILL SEPARATE, GO THEIR OWN WAY AND NOT SUPPORT YOU AND BE THERE FOR YOU THEY WILL TURN AGAINST YOU.  AND THEY DID EVER SINCE I WAS TOLD I'M BIPOLAR, AND SUFFER FROM G.A.D.! IT TOLD ME THAT I WILL STEAL FROM MY CHURCH, OR BE ACCUSED OF STEALING, THE CHURCH WILL TURN AGAINST YOU IN YOUR TIME OF NEED, AND YOU WILL SLOWLY FALL TO THE WASTE SIDE AND BE LIKE THE LOST SHEEP OF THE PASTURE, SEARCHING TO FIND THEIR WAY HOME, CALLING OUT BUT NO ONE THERE TO ANSWER YOU. YOU WILL BELIEVE BUT NOT REMEMBER. I WAS ACCUSED OF STEALING MONEY FROM THE YOUTH GROUP BUT DIDN'T TAKE IT SOMEONE ELSE DID.

WHEN I GOT DIVORCED AND GOING THROUGH THE THINGS I WAS GOING THROUGH .MY FATHER DYING OF CANCER AND WATCHING AND TRYING TO HELP MY MOTHER CARE FOR HIM, BEING LAID-OFF FROM JOB ,BEING SEPARATED FROM MY FAMILY GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE I WENT TO SEEK HELP AT MY CHURCH ,THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO HELP ME AND THE PASTOR AT THE TIME SIDED WITH MY EX-WIFE AND HELPED HER TO BECOME A PREDOMINANT FIGURE IN THE CHURCH.  IT MADE ME JEALOUS AND I HAVEN'T GONE TO CHURCH SINCE. I STILL READ THE BIBLE I COMPLETED SEVERAL BIBLE STUDY COURSES, BUT WITH MY SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS, I CAN'T REMEMBER HAVE OF WHAT I LEARNED. LOOKING FOR HELP BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT JUST AS PREDICTED.

AS FAR AS MY JOBS GO THE SAME THING .IT SHOWED ME WHERE I WAS GOING TO WORK IT SHOWED ME A VISION OF A LARGE AIRPORT HANGER LOOKING WAREHOUSE LOOKING BUILDING ,SHOWED ME ALL AROUND THE BUILDING. IT SAID I WOULD BE THERE FOR A WHILE AND MOVE INTO A LARGER ONE LATER. I WOULD BE HAPPY AT FIRST BUT THEN WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT ,OR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN THAT I CAN'T WORK, THAT WILL LEAD TO MY FAMILY SEPARATING. I WORKED FOR A TRUCKING COMPANY, THE FIRST BUILDING I WORK IN LOOKED JUST LIKE THE BUILDING HE SHOWED ME. I EVEN TOLD MY WIFE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO REMINDED ME OF THE VISION, BECAUSE I HAD FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT.

I REMEMBER STARTING THINKING TO MYSELF THAT THIS PLACE LOOKED FAMILIAR, PEOPLE THAT WORKED THERE BEFORE ME WERE SURPRISED I KNOW WHERE ALMOST EVERYTHING WAS LOCATED WITHOUT BEING SHOWN.  THE COMPANY BOUGHT OUT ANOTHER TRUCKING COMPANY AND MOVED INTO A BIGGER ONE AFTER 4 YEARS I WORKED THERE. IN FEBRUARY ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER I HAD MY LEFT FOOT CRUSHED BY A DOCK PLATE, AND A FORKLIFT. A FORKLIFT BACKED ONTO A SMALL RAMP LEADING FROM THE DOCK TO THE BACK DOOR OF THE TRAILER SO YOU CAN GO IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK. WHEN THE FORKLIFT RAN ACROSS THE RAMP IT LIFTED UP PINCHING MY FOOT UNDERNEATH IT. WAS OFF WORK FOR SIX MONTHS TO LET MY FOOT HEAL.

WHEN I RETURNED TO WORK, WORKED FOR ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR UNTIL I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS BIPOLAR, AND SUFFERING WITH MEMORY LOSE AND COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT DOORS TO LOAD THE FRIGHT INTO THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A VOLUNTARY LAY OFF AND GET HELP. THAT IS WHEN THEY SAID I COULDN'T WORK. THAT THE SAME TIME MY SECOND WIFE SEPARATED AND WANTED A DIVORCE, AND MY MOTHER HAD HER BY-PASS DONE, AND MY FATHER DIED.

Has your life changed specifically as a result of your experience?         Yes

I WENT FROM BEING HAPPY TO CHRONIC DEPRESSION.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes

AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT I WAS MAKING IT UP, OR THEY JUST DIDN'T BELIEVE ME AT ALL. SOME THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY, BUT UNTIL SOME OF THEM SAW THE THINGS HAPPENING ,OR TESTED THEM LIKE MY EX-WIFE DID WITH HER FATHER THEY BELIEVED ME. THEY WANTED TO HELP ME BREAK THE CYCLE BUT COULDN'T. SOME THINK I CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE AND WANT ME TO TELL THEM WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM. SOME I CAN OTHERS I CAN'T.

What emotions did you experience following your experience?  I FELT DIFFERENT I FELT AS THOUGH I CAME BACK IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BODY WITH MY EMOTIONS ,AND SENSES PLACED IN IT. I FELT AS THOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE I WAS AT ,OR WHO I WAS. I HAD TO LEARN ALL THE FUNCTIONS, AND MOTOR SKILLS ALL OVER AGAIN. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE A FORK, SPOON, AND KNIFE, OR WHAT THEY WERE. I WAS LEFT HANDED, BUT AFTER THE ACCIDENT I WAS TAUGHT HOW TO USE MY RIGHT HAND. I STILL GET DESIRES OR SOMETHING IS TELLING ME TO USE MY LEFT HAND. I LEARNED HOW TO USE BOTH HANDS. I ALWAYS FIND MT SELF WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE I I JUST WOULD HAVE SAID YES.

What was the best and worst part of your experience?      I TELLING SOMEONE ABOUT IT, AND SEEING THEIR REACTION WHEN IT COMES TRUE. I DON'T PLAIN THEM OR DO THEM DELIBERATELY I FORGET ALL ABOUT THEM UNTIL I GET THE FEELINGS I BEEN THEIR BEFORE AND IT'S MY FIRST TIME THERE, OR I HAVE RECURRING DREAMS ABOUT IT BEFORE HAND. WORST PART ABOUT IT IS KNOWING I CAN'T CHANGE THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN THEY SEEM TO HAPPEN JUST THE WAY I WAS SHOWN BACK IN 1969.I CAN'T CHANGE THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST I FIND MYSELF TRYING HARD TO CHANGE THEM IN THE FUTURE BUT CAN'T.

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        IS THERE A WAY FOR ME TO STOP THE CHAIN OF EVENTS. I TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM HYPNOTISM, TO TRYING TO STOP THEM WHEN THEY ARE HAPPENING BUT CAN'T. ITS LIKE TRYING TO STOP THE WIND FROM BLOWING .YOU KNOW WHEN IT BLOWS, YOU KNOW WHICH DIRECTIONS IT IS HEADING ,AND WHERE IT CAME FROM, AND WHAT CAUSES IT TO BLOW BUT HOW DO YOU STOP IT FROM HAPPENING.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No

Did the questions asked and information you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?               Yes, PRETTY MUCH AS BEST AS I CAN REMEMBER.

Please offer any suggestions you may have to improve this questionnaire.    NOT AT THIS TIME.
