Experience description: 

It was the 23rd of December, 1969. I  was about 12 years old. I  remember hearing my mother tell my father that he has to get me to have a haircut, despite at that time it was in fashion to leave hair long.  My mother was very suspicious about this new fashion as she did not like long hair on boys.   My father told her ok, he was going to get me a haircut , so she will stop moaning about it.  She knew that I didn't want to have a haircut, so she used my dad to enforce having a haircut since he was a very strict father.  The day after the 23rd of December, my dad took me to have a hair cut. 

We went to the city to a barber.  My dad was busy talking with some friends of his.  I was the first one who was on the chair to have a haircut.  When I  saw my dad busy talking with his friends, I  tell the barber not to cut my hair very short, only put some stuff on it so it will look different. A few minutes later I  was ready and we went back home.

When we reach home my sister start teasing me again because I  had to have a haircut, but I tell her that I didn't cut it, only put some gel on it. She run to my mum tell her that I  still have my hair long.  When she come and take a closer look at my hair, mum start on my dad again.  Dad have to do something to save his skin from mum, so he tell me to go to my room as a punishment and have to stay there until the next day - until he will get me to the barber again. I remember I  wanted to get my hands on my sister.  She come in my room to start teasing me again. In my room there was a Christmas tree and I  was standing in front of it looking at the lights going on and off.  As soon as I see my sister in my room I unscrew one of the lights and throw it to her direction.

I was so depressed that night I  feel like I  want to cry.  I remember the next thing I did is that I put my finger in the holder from where I  unscrew the lamp.  I  remember the feeling of an electric shock I  was thrown away with the same power.  Than I  heard my sister shouting.  I  was near her trying to talk to her and tell her that everything was ok. She was not hearing me, so I  try to put my hand on her shoulder but she couldn't feel my hand on her.  Than I  look down and saw my body on the floor.  I couldn't understand what was going on.  Than I  was pulled by a vacuum into a dark tunnel and was traveling faster than any thing I  knew.

There was like a picture of my life coming one after the other. Than I  saw a bright light more brighter than the sun but it was not hurting my eyes.  I had passed through this light and found myself in a place that was like a room without walls.  The walls were made out of atmosphere.  There was a stand  with a thick book on it and a very old man reading this book.  He looked at me and he didn't say anything. But I didn't care who was.  I  was staring at the scene behind him. There was a small bridge and a lot of people passing through over this bridge.  As soon as they pass this bridge they don't walk any more but they flow away.  There was crystal water running beyond this bridge and all the people were wearing white. 

Than I  look again at that old person that I  saw the first time, but he was not there.  Instead there was a man who was shiny and glowing.  He reached his hand out and told me to come and see what's in here. At first I  was trying to see in which language he was talking but although it was new for me, I  can understand everything he says.

I remember we pass through a lot of people who was singing in some different way. I  can not describe everybody was happy and nobody think about others. They were all looking at a great light in one direction. As soon as we reach the bright light, this man told me that what I was about to see, I will not remember.  We passed through this light. I still cannot remember what was behind that light.  What I  remember for sure is that after we get out of that light that the man took me into the first place and told me that I  have to go back because my time was not yet come to stay there.

I  remember I  was crying and begging him to let me stay there. I  don't want to come back to earth. He put me on his lap hug me and tell me don't worry you and me will meet again.  I  remember I  tell him I  wanted to stay there I don't want to come back. Than he tell me don't worry, let me come with you, then all of a sudden, I  find myself back in my room with that men. I  could see mum was holding my dead body in her arms and all my family was around her.  They were crying and I  heard my mum crying and saying "he's dead, he's dead." Then that man told me, "now you go back in your body." I  refuse to go back. I  tell him I  want to stay with him.  He hug me again, kissed me and told me the same words, "Don't worry, you and me will meet again." There was nothing I  could do. I  found myself back in my body again.

The funny thing was this I  was so happy with what I saw that a smile was on my face when I  get back in my body and the minute I  open my eyes I  heard my sister, "Look dad he's playing a joke on us, he is smiling."  I ended up with an other punishment so I  will not play this kind of jokes on them. I  keep this story or about 30 years I  never say it to any body.
