Phillip H's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            My two younger brothers, R & H, were traveling with me passing the Goodrich Farm home, and R said run the stop, and like W. because Potato Hill Rd, had a bump and if was fun. I refused to run the stop to his disappointment, but had I done it I would not be sending you this. 

Aster stopping I could see a vehicle a long way to the north as we were facing east. It was a 35 Mile Zone so I had plenty of time to cross. But little did I know the other pickup was going 75 and was drunk. 

Though I was well over the center of the road, this man attempted to cross in front of me, and wound up hitting right where I was in the drivers side.  I heard nothing and felt nothing. 

I found myself standing out side with a dark gray appearance the darkened the my view as I stared and the pickup and the flashing lights arriving from the left.  That triggered my awareness of my brothers and I began to cry. "Where are my brothers. again and again--and in an instant I found myself with my hands up to my head, blood running into my eyes. I lost consciousness and was in the Moses Lake Hospital over night and put on observation at home for two weeks.  I was left wondering why I felt that I have been thrown from  the pickup, for years.  I never told anyone until I was reading about NDE's at the Brigham Young University in 1982 more or less.  That is when my long awaited question was understood. 

What I did for me was to understand scriptures relating to the human soul.  We are an intelligence clothed with the power of spirit created in the image of God in heaven before we are born.  At conception our spirit enters the embryo and begins earth life in the womb.  The embryo would be dead otherwise and could not mature and develop other wise. 

I experience a sense of knowing things without any previous knowledge about some people I meet that are complete strangers.  At times I have been given reprimands, and warnings by a voice.  I know that we are a spiritual being that enlivens the physical body, that is a temple or tabernacle for the spiritual being that we are to learn from our earthy experience. 

While working in Huston, TX. I was driving the 610 loop in the fast lane.  I have been pondering over my life and feeling discouraged.  Out of the blue, I was given this message,...(I'm sorry, but I feel that I am not supposed to say anything at this time, I do not understand why, but when I have this feeling it is usually wise for me to follow my feeling.)

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     I did not share my experience until I learned what it was, and what I saw of the landscape are blurry on detail.  I remember my thoughts of my brothers and crying as I cried out, 'where are my brothers,' again and again and in an instant I found myself with my hands to my had blood running into my eyes and as I felt the glass, I lost consciousness.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     I received lacerations on both sides of my head I guess when my head broke the window of the pickup.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    It was only a brief experience, time was insignificant to me so was still dazed by the experience though, as I think of it I was quite alert, but I did no have time to observe to many things.

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:            It was only a brief experience, time was insignificant to me so was still dazed by the experience though, as I think of it I was quite alert, but I did no have time to observe to many things.

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     This occurred between 4 and 5 PM and the sun was up, but my view of the accident was somewhat hazy and I cannot say if I was standing in the air of on the ground as I was staring into a seen that was like a bad dream.

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 remember hearing the siren as it arrived and myself crying and asking, where are my brothers.

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Uncertainty of what was happening and then worry for my brothers who were with me.  Though the your safe and had only minor injuries, they crashed against me when the other pickup hit us.

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          Yes     I did not turn around, and in that short time I was concerned for my brothers that I figured were in the Pickup.

Did you see a light?           Yes     Only the light of day, which seemed haze and somewhat darker an it would have been, eve if an 2 hours had passed before the ambulance might have arrived.

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes            This began to happen years later, even before I learned I had an NDE.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes     The haze that seemed to surround me above and below and at the left and right was like a dark cloud.  I never turned around to see what was in back of me, I was intent on finding my brothers.

Did you become aware of future events?       Yes
            This happened years latter.  I was driving back to Huston from a family reunion in Provo Utah.  Ronald Ragan cam to mind and the thought cam to mind that He would make a great President.  He was then the Governor of California.  When he began his campaign, and as I  spoke to Sis Lattimore where I was renting while I was working for KFC, on West Belt just off Interstate I10.  I told this to Sis Lattimore.  She told me that Bush was going to win.  I believe that Mr. Tritico or something name like that, was campaigning for Bush lived just across the street from us.  I never lost that feeling that Ronald Regan was going to win.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     Yes     While I was working in Houston TX, my wife and children were in Monterrey, NL, Mexico.  It was in November and I would ride my bicycle to and from work, and I wanted us to spend Christmas in Huston.  She could drive up and have a short vacation.  I was unable to convince her. 

On night while pondering what to do, a voice came into my mind.  "Go and get you children."  It startled me. Thinking that was only in my head, I responded I wand to bring my wife too. Then in response to what I had said the voice responded. "If you think you can."  Now, that answer took me of guard, and caused me to worry.  This is the outline of what followed. 

There was no way that I could leave my work.  I did not have enough money because I was wending all my excess to my wife. 

I developed and abscess on the middle finger of my right hand, and the doctor said I could not work with food for two weeks.  I called my brother and he sent me enough to go by.  It wasn't until I received the money that I would have enough to go to Monterrey and spend Christmas.  I had the nagging feeling that our marriage was in trouble though. 

On the bus as be were passing close the our home, the voice came to me and said, "Don't worry.  Go straight home.  You will find everything you will need there.  A peace came over me and as I was assured it was so.   

My Wife had left for Tulandsingo, Hidalgo, Mexico the night before with a boy friend in our car.  After three days she got the message that I have arrived in Monterrey.  When they got back they drove by the house and down to her mothers.  When she returned, we walked through the front door and stridently walked into the living room, knocking all our marriage pictures over, and said, "I do not what this marriage any more, and I do not wand the children, take them.'  Then she handed me the key to the car.  That is the saddest day of my life.  We pack our things, and Christmas Eve we drove back to Houston, TX. my tears were blinding and two times I took the wrong road, but we arrive late that evening.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     I have shared it with some of my family, brothers and sisters, and friends and even to strangers as an object lesson of life after death.

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    I did not know how to explain something that would likely be brushed off by everyone.  But the wonder of it stayed with me, until I learned it is a reality years later.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?    I realized just home much that I loved my family which overflows to everyone I meet, becomes a part of my family.  Love became something to give more that to receive.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real   

I did not know how to explain something that would likely be brushed off by everyone.  But the wonder of it stayed with me, until I learned it is a reality years later.
