Jeremy M's Fear Death Experience

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            I was driving back to school ( boarding ) with my cousin in the front passenger seat and 2 friends in the rear of the vehicle. I came up to a truck that indicated it was turning right ( Zimbabwean drivers drive on the left-hand side of the road ).It was dark and I could see no oncoming vehicles but decided not to overtake as I assumed the truck would soon be turning off to the right onto a side road. The truck continued at speed showing no signs of slowing down to turn. After several miles I concluded that the truck driver did not realize that the right indicator was on so I began to overtake increasing speed as I did so. As I drew level with the front of the truck, it began to turn right onto a side road entrance. By doing so the truck had effectively blocked my exit, forcing me towards a deep storm drain on the side of the main road. At this moment in time, bearing in mind where I was heading and the speed I was doing ( around 70 - 80mph ),I knew I was going to crash and that I was going to die. Even though I knew death was inevitable I remained remarkably calm and time seemed to almost stop, as though everything was happening in slow motion. The next thing I knew I was in darkness watching a detailed review of my life up to that point in my life. It was like watching a huge cinema screen in 3D and it was incredibly detailed in that it literally covered every event in my life. I remembered events, people and places that I had long forgotten. It was as if I was effectively reliving my entire life although it was done at high speed. I sensed there were beings around me ( although I did \not actually see them )and they made it clear that they were not judging any part of my life. I got the impression that this was my life, that I should observe it and then consider any aspects that I wished to discuss. Once I absorbed this information I was then informed that it was not my time and that I should return. I was loathe to do so as I had a feeling of such absolute calm, love and peace which is simply not possible to describe. The next thing I knew I was back in the car driving along as if nothing had happened and saying to myself that this was not possible. It seemed the passengers in the car were totally unaware of what had happened. It was as if any memory had been erased from their minds. Although this 'incident ' occurred over 43 years ago every detail is as fresh in my mind as it was seconds after I returned to the car.

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 watching the review of my life.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Yes     See above. A very detailed review took place. Made me remember events that I had long forgotten about. It was as though I was reliving my life. The whole experience was non-judgmental.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          No
