EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:
I was involved in a major auto accident at a much younger
age. I went head-on into a palm tree. going about 50 to 60 mph( sole person in
the accident; fell asleep at the wheel).
As I laid in emergency
at the Riverside County Hosp.. Being treated and getting stabilized. While I
lied on an operating table I first experienced a sense of flying (or being
weightless) Going nowhere in particular. In and out of what seemed to be
unconsciousness. Than I actually sailed above my bed, enabling me to see down
on myself on the operating bed and actually seeing the tops of everyone else's
heads. Doctors, nurses, family members... What seemed to be about 15 to 20 feet
high above everyone. And simultaneously, having a clear sense and mind of what
was happening. Entered a real feeling of unbelievable calmness and sereneness,
and peace. I was faced with the choice of going beyond (death). Or coming back
and surviving the trauma and near death. I believe I chose not to go, or the
choice was made for me, I'm not too sure of that part. Saw a bright light
appear ahead of me, but never reached.
The best way I could explain it would be in a capsule of some sort, with no air
(maybe vacuum sealed) and sailing at a real calm and weightless speed. And
having a number of thoughts (about family, myself and so on-real spiritual
sense) And a feeling of such peace and tranquility. It never gave me a feeling
of fear whatsoever. Once the choice of surviving was done I never had anything
even close to that type of experience whatsoever. And one I could never forget!
