EXPERIENCE:

After a gall-bladder surgery, I was in poor shape. I remained half-conscious after a heart attack that occured while being in the recovery room. I made a breath-taking dive into a tunnel.  I saw motionless people, I saw old colleagues deceased since many years, making signs: “come along with us”. I also saw my parents, deceased in 1979, making signs in order to invite me to follow them. I saw my mother-in-law making signs in order to stop me from following the others that were making these signs. I was still diving faster and faster and deeper and deeper toward a bluish white light that was attracting me.

For how long? No idea. At one point, I thought I was flying. Under me: a bed with a form, instruments, people dressed in green with yellow faces. All around the bed, devices to which the form on the bed was linked. I was hearing voices and wanted to answer but not a sound would come out of my mouth. And the dive was continuing, always toward this light.

At one point I was seeing people between the light and me: my wife, my two daughters and their husbands, and in the middle, surounded by a soft light, my grand-daughter (two years old) that was moving her head and saying “no grandfather”. After that everything dissolved into the light.
