Padraic R's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            I poised myself sitting upright against the wall near the glass pane I had just broken, I rested my right arm in my lap and each time I took a breath my arm would gurgle. I figured if the ambulance was called at the time I broke the glass they were over 15 minutes away from me, when I knew I had about 8 minutes left.

I thought to clamp the wound but a voice in my head said "lie still, your fine!"

I tried to keep track of my breathing which I lost count, I could no longer keep my head up or my eyes open I fell into a gentle sleep, this was when I was aware that I was dying. I was not frightened by this thought. I had no direct fear of the death awaiting me, I embraced it with warmth and recognition. 

I knew that I was still conscious but I didn't know how, I could think in 5 different directions at once, the expansion of my experience was greater than I've ever experienced in life, death became a new experience to me, this was an experience I wanted, I could talk to trees and ants on the ground, I experienced a "life tone" of the earth that I felt on one level. 

I stood in a field by a river by a bridge and a man walked past me that I tried to get his attention, he walked about 10 feet away from me, it was daytime although I knew it was night in the building I was just in. 

I said earlier that I knew that I was but I didn't know just what I was, I could see and hear and feel and experience, experiences came to me with lightening speed and clarity. As my consciousness expanded I moved physically, at one moment I was above the earth and began to forget my family, my own name, that I had a finger on my hand. I passed through 4 dimensions about as thick as a piece of paper. 

As I moved away from the earth I could feel "life tones" of space and of other planets, I then came in contact with a "life force" not as advanced as our own, they expressed the emotion "love" to me both individually and collectively. I hope to return to them after my second death. 

As I moved on, I met a friend, dark haired, he was a friend who glowed yellow light from himself, as I tried to approach me he stopped me, I was frozen in space now and in conscious experience. He said to me "As you believed in me, I shall believe in you and thou shalt not die." This I didn't understand because I was more alive than I've ever been in 33 years. 

Next, a cop was kneeling over me telling me that I can't go to sleep that I have to stay awake and keep talking, the paramedics were about to hoist me to the gurney, for the next year I had mini death experiences that would come into my life at odd times. kind of like going blank for the moment.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     I communicated with a voice that was telepathic, I felt "life tones" that were musical in nature, I could experience the "earth tone" as different from the "life tone" that were trees.
