Mark K NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I had been Shot in the arm and side, and it took over 6 hours to get medical help. I remember laying on the operating table while two doctors were working on me (One was  Howard). My arm was held up in the air while they were working on my arm. one of them said "there's some buckshot" the other said "I'll get it". It was then that I realized I was out of my body about 10' above the table looking down. That freaked me out a little and then my whole life flashed before me. it was like the scales of Justice. The bad things on one side and the good on the other. I could no longer see me on the table, but I was on the bottom of a very beautiful  colorful (Like fire opal) blue, red, yellow translucent wall. As I floated to the top and looked over, there were five people standing on the bottom of the other side, dressed in white gowns. Very thing and young, I don't know why but I believed they were relatives and one was my grandmother from my fathers side. She died years before I was born. they called me by name and tried to call me over, trying to reassure me it was alright. I felt it was very peaceful there but I was afraid and went back down. I don't remember anything else until I was in a coma (2 weeks). When I woke up, I asked the Dr about the incident and he remembered and said we thought we lost you for a while. I truly know there is a God it's beyond belief

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? No      

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

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    When I was looking down at my relatives

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 looking down at my relatives

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      Everything was crystal clear but they were only 10' away. I just recalled that while mentally talking to them the translucent wall was changing colors.

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      I understood everything they said, but they weren't moving their mouths. I just understood them. When the Dr's talked it was as if I was right next to them not 10' away.

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Amazement and a little realization that If I lived I needed to change my ways (Fear)

Did you see a light?           Yes    

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Yes     The 5 people were young looking in white gowns. I felt that one was my Grandmother and I believe the others were relatives. They beckoned me to come over that everything was going to be alright. They conveyed a very peaceful feeling.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Yes     For a brief moment my life passed before me. Al the good things were on one side and all the bad things, That I wasn't sorry for, on the other. I was worried because the bad outweighed the good. the good things were deeds where I helped others. Things I had totally forgotten about were there. A note: when you harm someone we normally say "I'm Sorry", but if your not really sorry, it will come back later. Before that, I believed in God because that was how I was raised. After that, I KNOW there is a God and all things you do to other people are judged, and true sorrow is forgiveness.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Yes     I confirmed with the doctor about when my arm was in the air and they were removing shot.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     No      

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     I still share and I don't feel that anyone believes. But I tell them the truth with hope that they might change their ways.

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    While in my coma I had 24/7 each microsecond to think about my experience. When I had the chance to explain all of this to my mother. She dismissed as a dream. We never talked about it again until the day she died. She said she talked to her mother who had died a year before.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            Between the scales of Justice, talking to my relatives, and my experience in a coma, showed me what was important in life and how much of our brain is unused.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real            There is a God, Purgatory and Hell. Live your life as if today is your last day on earth. Life on earth is for a short time life after death is for eternity. The body is a home for your soul.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Yes    

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?            Yes     My faith is stronger. It's hard to explain that I know there is a God. This is not a belief, it is a fact.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No      

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        If I'm wrong, then I "wasted a lifetime" If I', right then you may have wasted eternity.

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes     I feel that the experiences I had while in a coma also reinforced the events.
