Caan S's NDE

Experience description: 

During the afternoon of 5-17-01 while working from atop of a 8ft. ladder I lost my balance when the ladder I was working on moved. Unfortunately I fell backward thru a t-bar ceiling head first landing on concrete. As I tried to embrace for the impact that I had surmised was sure to come in that short space of time I could hear the bones in my neck popping upon impact.  At almost the same time my mind and body seemed to separate momentarily. The "journey" though short lived can only be describes as beautiful.  There is a show called Sliders on the Sci_Fi channel where the characters step into a tunnel of light and travel from world to world. The visual effects used too create that tunnel closely resemble what I experienced except in my case the tunnel was black and white and seemed to travel at high speed with me and around me all at once. I got the impression that we are all part of a much bigger picture that God (Allah) has in store for us all. One of the opening verses in the Qu'ran first chapter states that God (Allah) is Lord of all the worlds. During my journey I did not feel as though I was alone nor was I scared and believe it or not I did not care about my body or how it was doing. I was conscious during this ride and remember looking both left to right and foreword, up and down all while moving thru this conduit back to the source of my life. I did not feel as though I had come to the end of my journey but had been given a chance to see what else is in store from God (Allah) the ALL IN ALL.

A co-worker had apparently grabbed me after I had fallen and hit my head a few times. Others describe my body hitting the concrete as a bouncing  basketball. I can vividly remember this co-worker shaking me on my return because the first senses to reconnect after my conscious was my sight and hearing in that order. I was really upset with the guy who grabbed me. And

I'm sure it was because I had been disconnected only to be reconnected to this body, space, and time.  I knew my accident was bad because my co-worker was pulling on me as I regained consciousness in this reality I could see what he was doing and how my body was twisted like a pretzel. Then my hearing returned in increments.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? No     

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes    

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    I would half to say my most consciousness moments were during my ride. Because when I returned I found myself a mess.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?    More consciousness and alertness than normal

If your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please explain:            I felt as though this all happened to fast, and how could this be so vivid in such a small amount of time.

Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect, such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)?  Yes     I could see in black and white and blues, and really bright.

Did your hearing differ in any way from your normal, everyday hearing (in any aspect, such as clarity, ability to recognize source of sound, pitch, loudness, etc.)?
            Yes     I could hear other entities around me asking questions like I was asking questions and giving or getting answers. All at peace all at once.

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Amazed, curious, at peace, explorative, happy

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          Yes     described in my opening

Did you see a light?           Yes     Like traveling through space super fast or at warp speed to say the least.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Uncertain      I'm sure because I asked questions and the responses were given telepathically out side of me to me and what I assumed were others like me.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Uncertain      I learned that life is everywhere even if we can't see it.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Yes     My mother and father were young when they conceived me. Before I was born the families fell apart over the matter.  The result was that I never new my father or his side of the family till 2 months after this life changing event a.k.a nde. Early one morning something told me to call my grandmother on mother side of the family and it seem to be from that leave of consciousness that I had encountered a few months earlier. Keep in mind that I had asked several times in the past about my fathers side of the family only to be given all types of excuses and many last names that never panned out. However, on this particular occasion my grandmother spilled the beans to say the least. Turns out I look exactly like my grandfather on my fathers side. And get this he died the year before I got hurt and on his death bed he told my grandmother his wife and my dad that he wished he'd had the chance to see me but not to worry because I would return to the family. Since then I have lost my dad on May 23,2004

Not really sad that I have lost dad, step-dad or grandfather in 4 years because I know they are all together in Heaven.

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Yes
            As I describe above a lot happen in a short amount of time.

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes            Like every thing travels on one bandwidth back to Allah (God). Life exist in ways and places we have no knowledge of but to respect it all the same; because the sources is all the same. We mankind are part of a larger life force built on a big heap of love and knowledge all for one purpose to praise the Creator.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? No       I felt I would Not return if I had not been shaken and held up by my co-worker.
