I would remember it was
'76 or '77. We lived in Kannelmäki district in Helsinki. In my experience I saw
myself in Etelä-Haaga (another Helsinki district) settings, but everything was
in silver tones, even the lawn was silver-ish. A voice said me: "See that young
boy biking so happily there? He was run over by a truck"
The male same voice
said me "See that lady over there", and he led me to a normal-appearing
Etelä-Haaga house - which didn't exist in the material world. It was located at
Haaga central square.
I was led in a
corridor, which was flooded by an immense overflow of light - I cannot describe
it better.
Suddenly there was an
immensely brilliant light, which came off one of the ground floor apartments.
There was a friendly but extremely authoritative male voice, which said I must
tell everything.
Suddenly I was in hospital, hanging off from ceiling not unlike a bat. I fell on
the bed in my body. When I regained consciousness, I began to vomit.
