It was
back in High School. Me and my girlfriend decided to skip church and go for a
joy ride with two boys. For years I just knew GOD was punishing me for skipping
church. There was 4 of us in a tiny VW Bug. Just for the record VOLKSWAGENS DO
NOT FLOAT !!!! Anyways we were going a little too fast on a one-lane , loose
gravel road. We came up on a sharp left turn. My friend, who was driving, tried
to gear down so we wouldn't slide. That didn't work so we put on the brakes .We
hit head on into a cement culvert about 3 feet high. The car, after impact, was
flipped up in the air, spiraled, turned around and came back toward the ground
head first. The bad part was there wasn't any ground where we were going to
crash, we were headed for a dark, cold, swift, and deep irrigation canal out on
a nearby Indian Reservation. After the car hit the water it turned and stood up
on it's butt. Both people in the back were thrown up in the front area on top of
us. Every one was screaming and panicking and hitting each other to get a door
opened in mid-air. Then the impact. The car had settled underwater with the butt
end down. The car was quickly starting to fill up with icy cold water. It was
black as pitch outside with no close neighbors. As the car was filling up with
water everybody was scratching and clawing at everybody. The fear was so intense
and so was the pain. I guess everyone had gotten out but me. Thank GOD, in
Volkswagens, the front passenger area has a lot of leg room. This leg room area
was pointing upwards , giving me some air space, and was the last to fill up.
When my friends realized that I was still trapped underwater in the car, the
driver dove in. He must have had an Angel's help or a ton of adrenalin because
he literally twisted the car door off its hinge and still managed, against a
very strong current, to throw the door up out of the water and about another 30
or 40 feet up on the bank. I remember looking back and I got the eeriest feeling
looking at the car with its headlights still working and pointing up through the
mucky water. I remember someone grabbing me and pulling me. I kept hitting,
struggling and fighting with him, not realizing just what was going on. I had
been out of air for probably a minute or so by then. After talking to him later,
he told me that all of a sudden my body went completely limp and I quit fighting
him. I know this was immediately after the thought was put into my head, "Oh,
I'm dead". Immediately I was not scared, panicked, cold, hurting from scratches
from people, everything had been instantly replaced with the strongest feeling
of contentment you could ever imagine and then times that by about a million
times. The LOVE where I was wasn't exactly like our love down here. Down here,
we get momentary butterflies in our stomachs or quick realizations of loving
something or someone, but it's never constant. When I was in transport the love
I was enveloped in, and I mean enveloped, was so concentrated it was almost like
I was breathing it in like I breathe in air down here. The next thing I remember
is that people without form were way in the distance. I was hoping to see family
members but wasn't given that privilege. I had a "knowing" that who I was with
was GOD, right up until recently. A member here did some checking for me and
said I wasn't with GOD that I had been with Jesus. Whoever He was he could put
LOVE directly in my heart just with his telepathic thoughts. I was shown that
there, people's personal "light" brightens or dims, depending on the telepathic
thoughts they received. It's kind of hard to explain. I sensed I was shown many
more things and, for whatever reason, wasn't allowed to remember some of them.
The second
I died, the thought "Oh, I'm dead" casually and matter-of-factly entered my head
and there was an immediate acceptance on my part.
I did find
out about the so-called "Judgment Day" I feared so much as a child. We judge
ourselves and that at first, was a big relief but our life is still our job. I
was shown what is now called a "Life Review". I was shown in living color, like
on a movie certain situations, both good and bad, in my life. I was able to see
and hear exactly how it was. But the kicker was as I was watching this situation
unfold right before my eyes, I was forced, for the lack of a better word, to
feel the other person's feelings at the time, not mine. Beside all the life
situations shown to me, I was given the capabilities to hear EVERY SINGLE
SIGNIFICANT thing that has EVER affected me during my life, the good, bad, and
ugly. I heard EVERYTHING at the same time with extreme clarity. I was with a
Being made out of the brightest white light I have ever been able to look at
without hurting my eyes. I felt it was GOD. All the time there we were
communicating through telepathy, no spoken words. I was told "These are your
accomplishments" or "What have you accomplished" (can't remember which was
said) and was sent back. I remember not wanting to come back and oddly enough
the love for my family didn't even enter my thoughts for some reason. I felt
like I was there a long time, by our standards; however, the whole ordeal took
place in about 2 minutes of our Earth time. I didn't see or don't recall any
type of tunnel like others have. I didn't get to see any physical landscapes or
beautiful gardens or anything. I went from the canal to standing by GOD. I
My friend
who was rescuing me out of the car underwater, told me later that he remembers
when my body went completely limp. I told him that's when I drowned but I don't
think he believed me, we were just kids in High School.
Was the
kind of experience difficult to express in words?
Yes Trying to describe my enhanced senses. Trying to describe the intensity
of the love and contentment I felt.
At the
time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?
Yes I was in an automobile accident and after hitting a cement culvert, the
car flipped up and headed down towards an irrigation canal.
At what
time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and
alertness?
When I was shown my "life review". Immediately after I died I felt so loved and
contented.
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 shown my "life review". Immediately after I died I felt so loved and
contented.
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.)?
Uncertain I do not consider what I experienced to be a vision, it was real.
The brightness of GOD, the being of light was extremely bright but it did not
hurt my eyes to look at it. All beings there were made up of light.
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.)?
Yes As mentioned earlier, I could hear every significant
statement from others all at the same time. There was no blending or overlapping
at all. I had extreme clarity.
Did you
experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?
Uncertain
What
emotions did you feel during the experience?
These were all felt at very extreme levels: love, contentment, peace,
joy, a feeling that I was "home" and this existence here was not real.
Did you
pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?
No
Did you
see a light?
Uncertain I don't recall any light other than the beings where I was.
Did you
meet or see any other beings?
Yes I was with one being of light and, at the time, I felt a knowing that it
was GOD of my understanding. All the communication was done through telepathy. I
sensed that there were other beings there; however, I don't recall any details.
Did you
experience a review of past events in your life?
Yes I learned that the feared "Judgment day" shouldn't be feared at all. I
found out during my life review that we actually judge ourselves. The fear of
dying subsided and I am not afraid anymore because where I was felt like my real
home and this reality on Earth is just some sort of school to learn life
lessons.
Did you
observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that
could be verified later?
Yes All of the events I was shown was out of my past so naturally they are
verified to me.
Did you
see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or
dimensions?
No I came back with the awareness that I was shown much more than I
was allowed to remember.
Did you
have any sense of altered space or time?
Yes I felt like I was there for a really long time, but, in our reality it
was only a minute or two.
Did you
have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?
Yes I gained the knowledge that our reality here on Earth is not real. I
know I was sent back to accomplish more in this lifetime.
Did you
reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?
No
Did you
become aware of future events?
No
Did you
have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you
did not have prior to the experience?
Yes too many to describe and remember. This experience was over 43 years
ago. I am currently trying to developed my psychic abilities.
Have
you shared this experience with others?
Yes It happened in 1964.I repressed the memory because I feared I was be
made fun off or people would condemn me as being crazy. It was when I was in an
alcohol addiction treatment center that the memory surfaced and I had to look at
me for my own emotional well being
Did you
have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?
No
How did
you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it
happened:
Experience was definitely not real I was confused and thought I may have
lost my mind. I stayed in denial of the experience for many years.
Were
there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or
significant to you?
Just what I
mentioned about my judging myself, that was a relief. It confirmed to me that
there is a GOD and Spirit Realm that some refer to as Heaven. I was given
another chance to come back and be a better person by helping others more. When
I was told I had to come back to Earth, I did not want to and the stranger part
was that the love I have for friends and family members wasn't even in my
thoughts at the time.
How do
you currently view the reality of your experience:
Experience was definitely real Since my experience I have been shown
many things that are not of this world. I bought every book I could find on the
subject to reconfirm what I had went through.
Have your
relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?
No
Have
your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Yes
I no longer go
to any organized religions due to the dogma and fear they instill in their
members. I have a philosophy "Religion is for people who are afraid of going to
hell, Spirituality is for people who have already been there."
Following the
experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or
substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
No No
drugs that I have ever taken even come close. It was REAL, not drug induced.
Is
there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?
Just for
people to know that there is a special place and special people watching over
them and they human death as we know it, doesn't really exist. Our body's die
but we NEVER do.
Did the
questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and
comprehensively describe your experience?
Yes For the
most part; however, I took offense at all the drug questions.
Are
there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?
I would eliminate all the questions about drugs. This implies that the
experiences are not real.
