Jonathan H's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            The operating room staff were rushing around me on the table while I watched from a corner of the ceiling above them on the other side of the room. I felt remarkably calm and just interested in the technical aspects of what they were doing. Really interesting, and wondering why they were making a such a fuss really. Then a bright white light grew brighter above me to the left, like a distant torch approaching and getting brighter. But it was square, not round. Drawn like iron filings to a weak magnet I seemed to move towards it, float is to imprecise an adjective, and realized that the light was coming from a square corridor that I was entering. No panic or fear, just curious. It wasn't cold either, no reason why it should be, but it was a neutral temperature. Moving up the slight gradient as if walking. Annoying silence all around, but a calm atmosphere

A voice, not one that have ever recognized, but definitely male then said "It's not time yet, you can go back now" I have been asking "why?" and "what for" ever since!

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? No       Amazingly interesting watching myself be resuscitated

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     I was clinically dead on the operating table, twice as I recall

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    Interesting to answer this. The best comparison that I can think of is that when serving in Northern Ireland the "Alert & response" levels were on overtime, but the threat level was massive. This was the same but without any threat level

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?    Normal consciousness and alertness

If your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please explain:            Interesting to answer this. The best comparison that I can think of is that when serving in Northern Ireland the "Alert & response" levels were on overtime, but the threat level was massive. This was the same but without any threat level

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      Felt the same, but the light was all encompassing until I was in the tunnel

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.)?
            Uncertain      No sound until the voice, and that was normal conversational pitch

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?     Yes

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Calm Curious Interested Fascinated

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          Yes     See above

Did you see a light?           Yes     See above

Did you meet or see any other beings?           No      

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    No      

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

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions?           No           

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Yes     All surreal See above

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes     Not been told why I was sent back!!! Frustrating me ever since

This all seemed reasonably normal to me, but the few people that know think that it is incredible

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes     See above

Not sure where the tunnel went or what was further on. The voice had an instant effect and I was back inside me

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     I have talked to my dead Grandfather, and often see dead people that I don't know. They seem happy and preoccupied. I watched a Cavalier in full garb drinking in front of a fireplace for what seemed like ages. Their location often does not appear to relate to mine. Not in this time zone any way.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     It doesn't bother me, but it disturbs others so I keep it to my self now

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 real    Because it was

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?    A peace that I have never had before, or experienced since. Life has always troubled me, and it and I have always had to come to a tolerant arrangement.

Couldn't understand why they were working so hard to save me, that seemed a waste of their professional time.
