Experience description:
On both occasions a being of white light appeared to me and took my hand and took me to a door that opened on its own. As a child I remember I had to climb three steps to arrive at the door and in the last experience I didn't see any door. I went directly to the place of light where you don't step or walk...you float...
In the second more recent experience I remember first seeing a dim tunnel where I saw various deceased people I knew, one of whom touched my feet. I left those people behind in order to ascend accompanied by the being of light and go to the place where one floats. I did not see anyone there but I felt caresses on my head.
I also remember that my family members were in the hospital room crying and I, despairing at seeing them suffer, wanted to return rapidly. I remember on both occasions that the voices of the doctors and nurses resounded in my head, and while I was ascending, the voices faded back but I continued hearing them. (I don't know how to explain this. It's as if you were a million kilometers away but you took a carried a microphone in order to hear). In the second experience I remember seeing my husband all upset and praying that I would not die.
I also remember a place where there were objects, people who looked like angels, animals and plants... The strange thing about all this was that EVERYTHING had life and eyes. I also saw beings dressed in black capes who, when they saw the being who was holding my hand, bowed their heads...as though they could not look at his face...or perhaps out of respect...

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose? Yes I had the sensation that I had to pass through this experience in order to remember the way toward the light and help the beings who have already died and are lost in the place of little light. (Sincerely, I don't know why because even today I don't understand how I can do it) but this is something that stays etched in my mind.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:
Experience was definitely real
Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?
The whole experience was significant because since then I have not be able to get this experience out of my mind. My life has changed completely since then.
How do you currently view the reality of your experience: Experience was definitely real
The experience was definitely real. It is an experience that if I were to tell you about would seem a fantasy. But whoever goes through a similar experience knows that it is real, and returning to this life and remembering, makes this earthly life even more difficult to live.
Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience? Do you see yourself as the same body during this experience? Do you see in color or in black and white?
