Experience description: 

The evening of my NDE, I quite literally crawled to bed.   I was so sick and in so much pain that I couldn't lift my own head without great effort.  I remember crawling into bed and curling up into the fetal position and sobbing and rocking from the pain, I moaned, "Why me God?  When is this going to be over, how much more can one person take?"  Quite a normal litany under the circumstances.

Suddenly the tears stopped, the pain stopped, the confusion stopped.  I became more clear headed in that moment than I had ever previously experienced.  I KNEW what I had to do.  I had to ask for it to be over.  Simple.  Or so I thought.  I now know that nothing is SIMPLE.

I rolled onto my back, closed my eyes, and prayed for it to be over. "Please God, let me come home."  I began to experience a small amount of fear or separation anxiety, so I immediately began the relaxation exercises I had been taught to help with the pain and anxiety I had experienced for many years.

Just as I felt myself relax, about to enter the alpha state, I felt a heat and a light move up my body.  When it got to the top of my head, I felt a great pressure and the feeling of a void, no sound, no light, like being stuck in a vacuum.  Suddenly there was a noise like the passing of a speeding train, a whoosh sound and I was moving it seemed upward through a dark colored tunnel filled with lights like stars around it.

With a flash of the most intense white light, I found myself standing before the Source.  I hesitate to explain my experience at this point, as it seems to me that that part of an NDE is very individual and personal.  I will suffice to say that the Source was a geodesic orb which emanated all I sensed, felt, etc. and that there were other entities present.  I was told to turn and look at what I was leaving and where I was going, in order to make a good decision.  In other words, is this what I really wanted, or did I just want the pain to end?

As I turned, I saw the Earth in the distance.  My experience lasted 6 hours in our time, and as such it is impossible to accurately describe everything I experienced.  I will say that I saw my future, my past, and was allowed to make my decision from my now, as well as being given an important life message.

My reentry into my body was very painful and I immediately felt that something was very wrong, like I got back in the wrong body or something.  I got up slowly from the bed and looked in the mirror and got scared.  I didn't recognize myself immediately.  Many others didn't recognize me after the experience, as I underwent some intense physical changes in that short time.  During the experience alone I lost 2 inches in height and 12 pounds as well as more cosmetic changes, hair, complexion etc.

Any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience?     Yes


prescribed marijuana

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes

we currently have no words in our experience to adequately describe a "FEELING" or "KNOWING"  the feeling that is the most difficult to describe is the pulse of light and feelings of acceptance and drawing that emanated from the "SOURCE"

I have heard this referred to as "unconditional love" but that only takes into account one of the "feelings" emanating from the Source.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes

Within the previous 6 months I had received 8 diagnosis from 8 different specialists, most of them auto-immune in nature.

At that time, my physician prescribed marijuana and told me to look elsewhere for my answers, as "they" could not even begin to explain why I was still alive, much rather how to "cure" me.
