EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

                My first experience happened very fast, but was very significant.  What happened was that I fell off a wash basin when I was 6 years old and struck my head on a heater that was inside the bathroom.  At the same time, a full water glass that was on a shelf broke between the floor and my head.  The only thing I remember is that I saw a pathway of stones and I walked along it with someone who took me by my hand.  We went towards a resplendent light.  I wasn't afraid at any time.  I didn't see the face of the person I was walking with, nevertheless he wore a white tunic and I walked on his left.  Suddenly, I heard my mother's voice and turned back and then I woke up. 

My second experience happened when I heard a song that is precisely the theme of the movie, "Casablanca."   The first time I heard this song I felt a strange sensation in my body.  My heart began to beat rapidly and I felt as if my body was full of cuts.  Afterwards I had a vision of a highway where I saw a crumpled, pistachio green automobile...so crumpled, in fact, I remember it looked like an accordion.   I saw two bodies thrown there (I saw everything from above), covered with blood.  I supposed the bodies were dead.  But first I felt that sensation in my heart beating rapidly and above all else, my body hurt all over and I felt like I had cuts in my skin.  That time I cried.
