EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:           

     Alex and I made all of our pit stops and finally set out on Highway 58. We were on our way to Las Vegas. It was my first time to this glamorous place. I was exceptionally excited and could not wait to arrive in this foreign land. I was driving and Alex was in the passenger seat, bumping his feet to the music. The music was flowing with the rhythm of the sparkling sun. The air outside was so fresh and alive. The time passed on and the sun began to set. Alex slowly drifted off to sleep. 

    Before I knew it, the daylight was gone. The nightfall was nothing more than road paint and darkness. My intuition acknowledged the fact that this night was like no other. Alex was dead asleep, which meant that the music was my company to pass the time. The speed limit was a steady 65 mph. For security purposes, I gripped onto my good luck beads. All of a sudden I could see two headlights coming straight towards me. I conveyed over as fast as I could and reflected back onto my untouched past. It was too late; there was a thundering “boom”.  

     “Oh my God” it was an immeasurable crash. The car vaulted backwards and I did not know what to do or how to react. I peered over at Alex, through the darkness of the night.  He was completely unconscious. My heart felt extraordinarily heavy and I filled up with fear. I glimpsed out the window and there stood an older white haired man. His eyes were enormous and he stuttered with fear and said, “Help's on the way”.   When I saw the look on his face, I realized how bad the situation must have looked.  That was the moment that I began to pray. I prayed more that night that I have prayed in a long time. 

      I felt an impervious solution pouring out of my arm like a faucet that would not turn off.  My stomach began to clot and melt.  That’s when I realized, I was fastened in a flood of my own bright red blood. I looked down at the ground to find that the engine came in and literally pinned both of my legs. The darkness made me scream with fear, anger and frustration. My body went into a state of shock because I could not handle all of this mind blowing destruction.  

     Lights, sirens, choppers and engines rapidly came swarming through. That is the moment that I found the glowing sound of peace running throughout my body. My heart was no longer heavy and all of my fear went away.  The feeling that went through me was a subliminal tease, from the fellow above sending me the faith and power of love. I proceeded to drift into the light. I have never had the sensation of so much luxury and perfect delight. 

      I heard a voice chanting my name, so I chose to come back to reality and finish up life’s marvelous game. I looked to the right and saw the paramedics putting up a fight to save us. They opened up Alex’s door and immediately placed him on a gurney. They rushed him quickly into the helicopter and flew him to the hospital. 

      Now the paramedics were going to pull me out of the disabled automobile. They had to cautiously maneuver me out of the vehicle so that they would not injure me more than I already was. I started to panic; I thought my mind was deceiving the image that I saw myself in. The lights were so bright. They needed to use the Jaws of Life in order to free me from the vehicle. My arm was flapping over with blood, bones and a faucet spewing out. I started to scream with fear. The paramedics vigilantly lifted me out onto the gurney. By that time I thought I was mentally ill. I could not believe that this incident was a part of my reality. They laced up my forearm in order to keep it in place. I looked up at the starry filled heavens praying to God, trusting that he would keep Alex and me safe. I knew in my heart with all the faith that I had, that he would keep me safe no matter what.

   The helicopters propellers were blowing down onto my face. The chopper was preparing to take me to the hospital. The Red Cross on the helicopter was glowing so bright and that’s when I knew I had to be a fighter, in order to stay alive. They flew me to the hospital, not knowing if they were going to be able to save my life. 

      Next thing I knew I was laying on a cold x-ray table. The lights were shining bright in my face. My blood was smeared all over me and the table which made me even more unstable.  I woke up the next morning and it turned out that I had 2 broken legs and a broken forearm. I asked the nurses about Alex and how he was doing. They said he was in a coma and he was hit in the head pretty hard, but he came out of it and he will be fine. The nurses told me that my parents were on their way. I also found out that the man who came into my lane was unfortunately killed from the impact of the head on collision.  

     I have never had such a spiritual and meaningful experience in all of my life. Although it was traumatizing, mind boggling and somewhat painful, I still carried God with me the whole time. That was the day I realized my purpose in life. To live every day like it is my last and always let the love in my heart and soul flow freely with everything that I do. I realized that my life could be snatched away from me at any moment. I am much more fragile than I thought. I have always been close with God, but I have been even closer since that day, May 12, 2001.   (I wrote that years ago and still remember bits and pieces from the experience). 

One thing I remember is that when I drifted in the light with God there was a point in time that I was begging him to take me with him, I told him that I did not want to go back and it was safe with him. He asked me "are you finished"? I thought about it and realized that I was not finished and if I came home with the Lord I would have unfinished business and my tasks would be incomplete.  So I was given a choice to stay or go and I chose to come back and finish. He reminded me of my home and the reality that really exists and the beauty behind all of it is so indescribable and amazing. Till this day, pretty much everyday, I crave my home-because Heaven truly is my home...this earth is very temporary and time is simply an illusion to further understand being human. 

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     There is no other feeling in this life time that can compare to the love that I felt that night. The love was very high in vibration and beyond comprehension of an ordinary person...Unexplainable to say the least...

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     Head on collision on a one way highway. The man coming from the opposite direction came in to my lane-we were both going 65 mph.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    When I was the most physically injured.

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:            When I was the most physically injured.

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     Colors were much brighter and there were many many more colors. Our colors here are very dull compared to heaven. Clarity was like a crystal ball and I could see almost in a 3d fashion but much more beyond that.

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.)?
            Uncertain      I can not recall-but a part me remembers that I did not speak I communicated through intuition. I did not speak English to God, I spoke no language it was through a higher understanding.

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE very unconditional...Hard to explain that kind of love.

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          Uncertain      I don't recall a tunnel-I just recall some sort of almost floating experience.

Did you see a light?           Yes     very bright and beautiful-the lights made a sound, a sound of love-like the sound of the trumpets that have been described when one goes to the lord.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Yes     I saw God and he told me (not in words) how much he loved me, he surrounded me with so much unconditional love. His love was so familiar to me that I cried out to my father to let me go home with him, please take me with you, I don't want to go back. Then he gave me the choice, and I chose to come back because he reminded me of what we spoke about before I came to earth and that I was not finished. I then basked in his love a bit longer and then came back to earth and he has never ever left my side.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Yes     I reviewed my entire life, it flashed right before my eyes (time did not exist). Everything that I have ever done was replayed in my mind and everything that I ever made anyone else endure I felt-it has made me very compassionate and sensitive towards other people and how they are effected by me.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Uncertain      I recall seeing all of the help gathered around me on earth and was amazed to see how many people wanted me to live. They were all so committed to saving my life

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions?            Yes     Heaven with God.

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

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Uncertain            that we are all on a very similar yet different path. We are all here to learn and we each have a different destiny path but the ultimate purpose for all of us is love.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Uncertain      I am unsure of this question

Did you become aware of future events?       Uncertain
            I am unsure of this question.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     Yes     I sensed when the sunami happened and other earthly events, sometimes I have dreams that foretell future events. I write poetry that speaks of God and have written countless poems and still have sudden urges to write. Sometimes after someone passes I can feel their presence like they are trying to communicate to me.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     I shared with  my mom right away and it has made her faith sky rocket-she is very easy going. I have shared with friends and other family members. I am careful who I share it with because some people assume your crazy and some believe me because they know me.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    Uncertain            I did not know much

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was probably real    I was still in shock for a while after from the trauma and did not remember anything for ten days but once I remembered it was a slow process. I just remember how happy and grateful I was ever right after-the love was pouring through me like a faucet.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            The amount of love was unreal and so amazing-I crave it sometimes.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real    It took a while to remember and process it and certain people that I shared it with gave me doubt in the experience like it was all a hoax-but my faith and my heart know that it was all very very real...

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Yes     they are very loving and real yet I am particular about who I am able to become close with.

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?           
Uncertain      They have always been pretty much the same but the experience gave me a great amount of confirmation behind my beliefs.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         Uncertain      Sometime certain things will come up out of no where-certain parts of the event.

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        There was more that went on but my recollection can only go so far in the physical form.

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes     I feel it covered many aspects.

Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?   I like the questions.
