EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            I was driving east on the Simi Valley freeway towards Simi from Moorpark California. The traffic was fast paced but began to slow. I was in the inside lane of a two lane highway. There was no center divider, just a large stretch of land between the two directions of traffic. The cars in front of me began to slow. I stepped on my brakes slowly to a near stop. I looked in the rear view mirror and the car behind me seemed to be 10 to 15 car lengths behind me and not slowing. I couldn't turn to the left because I was too close to the car in front of me. I looked back in the mirror and the car was gone. I looked immediately to my left out my rear passenger window to see the head lights of the car that was behind me now shinning in my rear passenger window. That was the last thing I remember. I then was above my car in euphoria. Everything was beautiful, the sun was out, I was smiling and felt warm and joyful. I looked at my car and could see it veering to the other side of the freeway as there was no divider. It was headed into the west bounds lanes. I saw the car that hit me behind my car and it had stopped. The driver had gotten out and was looking at his front bumper. I looked again at my car traveling to the other side of the freeway. I puzzled why it was moving.

Suddenly a man voice in my right ear stated ‘If you don't go back, someone will die.’ I remember not wanting that to happen. I woke up with my hands on the steering wheel and trying to gain control of the car and trying to turn it away from the oncoming traffic. I eventually came to a stop. I didn't know what had happened until the driver from the car that hit me came to the passenger side of the car and asked if I was ok. I then realized that the window was broken and the passenger side of the door was dented into the middle of the passenger side of the seat. He kept asking if I was ok. I finally said no. The ambulance came and took me to the hospital. When I said that I had a doctor not in Simi Valley but in Westlake village, the hospital released me and told me to go see my doctor in two day.

I went home and slept for two days. I don't remember anything but being awakened to be taken to the doctor by my husband. The doctor told me that I should have come to him the first day. I had a very serious concussion and could have gone into a coma. I struggled to come out of the injuries and to understand the experience of the much desired euphoria that I experienced. wanting to have that experience, I was hospitalized 4 times for attempted suicide due to the massive doses of medications I was given for first depression, then anxiety, then panic attacks, then PTSD and many other diagnosis and multiple medication until I could not handle my situation and longed for the euphoria. I am now leading an active life and everyday that I wake up I say. ‘If I wake up, God is not done with me.’ I am searching for a purpose in life. There has to be a reason that a man whispered in my live that someone would die. If he had said that it would be me that died, at that time in my life I would have embarrassed that happily. Even now trying to make a life until God is ready for me is a struggle but I struggle looking forward to the day I can once again experience the euphoria of life after death. There is nothing like and I want to search how to get it in this life.

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 above my car watching the cars and the freeway with cars slowing to look at my car.

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.)?  Yes     Clearer, understanding what was happening and being joyous to escape my body.

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.)?
            Yes     The sounds of the traffic was muffled, but the sound of the man was so clear I could almost feel his breath on the side of my face. Like he was talking right into my ear so I would hear him better. Close while the traffic was not important

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Joy and peace. like a weight had lifted from me. Everything was in its place and right action was happening. I was disappointed that I had to go back to save a life.

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          Yes     I half way left my car. My body was stuck in the middle. my feet were in the car but my waist up was outside of the car. I was not confined but could turn around to see in every direction. I felt I could have gone further out but it happened so quickly I had not time. I had to get back into my car before it hit someone and killed them.

Did you see a light?           No

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes     I was told that someone would die if I didn't go back.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     No       I seem to be more intuitive and understanding others reactions to situations. I am able to separate myself from what is happening to me.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     At first I tried to ask doctors about this experience with little understanding. I could not tell my husband and it has just been the past 6 months that I told a friend about it and told her I needed to talk about it but didn't know who to talk to. I can get rid of the need to feel the euphoria again.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    Yes     In 1988 or 89, I had had an accident in my office and has broken my rib end off, a floating rib. There was a great deal of pain and I remember going to bed after it happened and having much pain, I found myself looking down from the ceiling corner at me lying on the bed not moving. I hadn't gotten into bed, but collapsed on the bed and was lying on my back across the bed. I remember not wanting to deal with the pain and feeling sorry for the body lying there. When my husband came into the room he shook me to tell me to get into bed and I went back after I watched him shake me awake. I was in the corner then I was in my body looking at him.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    I was frightened of it. Didn't understand it like I did the second time. I had considered the first experience as a!

  wake up call for the second experience. I was almost thankful that the second occurrence happened. I waited for it and okay, here it is again. how wonderful.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            The peace and tranquility that I felt will always be with me. I can often try to remember the feelings but cherished it when It happened in 1999.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real    I have struggled with the reality of life after death, reincarnation, the soul living on in another dimension most of my life. These and other occurrences in my life has confirmed realities different than life on earth as we know it. Being raised Catholic, we can't question, things are what they are and if the Catholic church doesn't teach it, it doesn't exist. I survived that and am open to all experiences and embrace them. Illusions are not of my real life.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Yes     I am more loving, forgiving, understanding, less critical, less judgmental. less prideful, more humble in my approach to life.

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?           
Yes     All religions have been structured by man. Man makes mistakes. Things in the universe are being revealed as society can handle the new information. Old churches are less likely to accept new ideas. The man who discovered the earth was round was declared a heretic according to the church. Even the bible states that no all will hear or see until they are ready to believe.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         Yes     My son died in 1996 and without these other events I would not have been able to contact him as I did. He told me many things that were happening to him in the days after his death. Things that I didn't know or how afterlife worked or what would happen. He cleared a lot of doubts about that for me.

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        I know I experienced exactly what I did relay to you. Please don't discount others. When little children have invisible friends, they may be angels, guides or teachers that have followed them into this life. Encourage children to talk about these people without telling them they are not real. The man who whispered into my ear is as real today as he was when he was with me above my car.

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes     All of the above is true and correct. I would love to take a lie detector test or be hypnotized to fully understand the entire experience.

Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?   Possible question: Have you had other encounters with past relatives or friends or others through dreams or awake encounters before or after the near death experience?
