Philip S's NDE

Experience description: 

I was lying in bed, as i do right before i go to sleep. I reached over and turned off my light. the next thing i knew, there was a sharp pain in my chest, and then a blanket of darkness fell over me. Suddenly, there was a popping feeling from my body, and the next thing i knew i was floating above my bed. I was floating above my body. i could see myself as another person would.  it was not like a mirror, it was as if i was looking through someone else's eyes. I discovered that i could move, and at an expediential speed too. i examined my body, from top to bottom, front to back. I had a feeling of weightlessness, no more feeling. my body was just lying there, its eyes closed, its hand clutching its chest where the incident had occurred.

all of the sudden, i noticed two figures, figures like me. I sensed that i knew them, but not in this life. in fact, not in any life. They greeted me, and asked me how i had taken all of this. I felt peaceful, no feelings of anguish or any sort of pain. we did not speak. there was no need. it was like telepathy, but even more evolved than that. i had remembered by this time that they were angels. my guardians. they were also my best friends before life, when i was not a physical being, but when i was like them. before all of this. one soon left, and the other told me to follow the path that i had chosen for myself. he told me that i could stay, and that often times many do, to comfort the loved ones, or i could leave then, and God could comfort them in my stead. He then left quickly.

The next thing i knew, i was being sucked into a wake of some sort. a tunnel of blackness, or darkness. but it was not frightening. it was peaceful, and very warm. i could feel only good in that. i do not how long that had lasted, or even if there was such a concept as time at that moment. I was then released from the tunnel into pure light. i saw a figure approach. not really a figure as it was just a being made of light, with no form. it is difficult to explain. i knew at the moment i saw him it was Jesus, the Christ. he took me into his arms, and told me that i was not suppose to have entered this existence yet. he asked me if i had any questions about the world, and i did. thousands of them. and i asked, and he answered them just as quickly as i had asked them. i was gaining huge knowledge. about the world, and everything in it. about the existence of man, and its purpose. he then told me that he was to take me to the Father. He did so.

As i exited the room of light, i entered a world, a new universe, filled with an uncountable number of colors. i noticed now i was pure light. i noticed others too. other deceased. all were made of light. I was taken to another place. it was as if it were billions of miles away, but we were there instantly. We entered a huge chamber, another chamber of light. There was a throne, sort of. God was sitting upon it, and Jesus at his right hand. The virgin mother was present as well, and also John the Baptist. God rose from his chair, and then greeted me. All the while, since i had first seen Jesus, there was an irrepressible feeling of love. love for one another, and love for the world and all of its people. a feeling of overwhelming peace. there were no bad feelings in this entire experience.

God asked me: How did you serve your fellow man? I told him that i did not know. Just then my soul filled with my entire past, and almost instantly it was over. my whole life was looked at and through, and my whole life was judged in an instant. God then told me that i had been judged justly and that i was welcomed into his kingdom of heaven, but that it was not my time to leave the human existence. he stated also since i was here already, he would not force me to leave. He told me that if i should leave, after experiencing such a thing, i would only go back to a world where the pain would now magnify. I was ornery at first to make this decision, but God told me exactly what my purpose should be. He told me my purpose, but then told me that most of the knowledge, including the knowledge of my purpose would be taken from me if i chose to go back. I do not remember the knowledge  that was given to me, nor the purpose that God had in mind anymore. But i do still trust him.

i went to the waiting room where my parents were. my mother was crying and my father looked dazed. i said something and they whipped their heads around. a doctor and nurse came running down the hall, and then more from another hall. my mom screamed and then fainted, and my father bolted up, as if terrified. The doctor just started asking questions, and i answered them as quickly as i could. I was dead for nearly 4 hours. It felt as if i was in heaven for days and days. They made me go back to my room, and my father followed. my mother was put up on her own bed. she woke up shortly after, and came running in, hugging and kissing me. they asked questions too. they told me that they saw me dead. my father had come in the night, shortly after i had expired. he heard a yell from me that i did not remember. he checked my pulse, and everything too and could find nothing. The doctors were 100 % sure i was dead. i had no activity in any part of my body. It is both a mystery why i had died in the way that i did, and then arose. I am living my life now as i had before, but with a new knowledge. a knowledge that strengthens not only me, but all whom i talk to.
