Raina J NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

Much of the auto accident is blurry.  Flashes of white surround me as paramedics try to get me out of the vehicle, and voices.  I am in pain, then out of pain in darkness.  There is a time when I am in darkness, floating in something like fluid with red curves around it.  I am content and relaxed just floating.  There are other people around me, just floating, just as content.  Then I hear voices again of people asking me questions, probably in the emergency room. 

I am unconscious again in darkness, then I awaken in a large "void" gray area.  Muted light seems to be coming from above me, but there is no source.  I am floating above other people, in an upright position.  There are people above me and below me, vertically, and as I look directionally right down the row of people, there seem to be thousands upon thousands in the same formation.  We are all silent.  At the moment of awakening, there seems to be a feeling of something being pulled back or "peeled" from my eyes and face.  I reach down to touch the person below me and to my left.  She has red hair.  I want to ask her where I am.  As I reach down, I am called. 

At first, the man in front of me is approximately 30 feet away from me.  He appears to be flooded with white light in a white suit, bald, with extremely white teeth.  He floats me out of formation, then in front of him.  He is not in a white suit, but he "glowing".  Inner light is flowing out all round him.  He has extremely blue eyes.   I am so happy to see him!  I know him and he knows me.  I cannot recollect who he is now.  I hug him and tell him I miss him.  He tells me it is not my time.  I disagree!  I see a line of people going through a dark tear in the fabric of the void and a man stares at me.  In fact, there are other people milling about on the "floor" who have very puzzled looks on their faces, which are slightly blurred to me.  I am puzzled too.  I want to go where the other people are going, but again, I am told it is not my time.  I point again to where the people are going.  The man points to the upper right corner of the void and I am suddenly back in my body.  I know I am there because there is someone telling me, "You scared me to death!  Don't you ever do that to me again".  I awoke to find myself in a CT scan.  I don't know for sure, but it must have been the x-ray tech and my brain scan must have flat-lined!  After that, I was back.  In pain, but back.  What does it all mean?  Why didn't I see the light?

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? No      

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     Auto accident

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    When I was reaching down for the lady with red hair.  When I was talking to the man.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?    Less 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 reaching down for the lady with red hair.  When I was talking to the man.

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     Blurriness and brightness.  Tunnel-vision.

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     There was no sound.  When the man spoke, it was inside my mind.

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Puzzlement, contentment, and I really, really wanted to stay.  Love.  I forgot about my family totally.

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          No      

Did you see a light?           Yes     The man.  I'm not sure who he was.  Although I am a Christian, I don't believe it was Jesus.  I think it may have been an ancestor.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Yes     The man and other people who were just as puzzled as I was.  I believe we were all communicating telepathically.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    No      

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          No      

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions?           No           

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Yes     I felt as if I had been there for a very long time.

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes            Just that it wasn't my time.  It was irritating!

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes     I felt that although it was a void, there was a lot more beyond the "tear" in the void.  I also felt as if I were in a waiting room of some sort.  Lots more.  More dimensions than we could ever count.

Did you become aware of future events?       No
           
Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     No      

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     A long time.  People who are spiritual believe me.  People who are not, do not and think I'm nuts, or that I had a really bad head injury.  No one is influenced.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    Yes     I heard it was possible.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    I realized that there was life after death, although I didn't know how to tell anyone.  I realized that there must be a God, and that there is definitely more beyond this life.  I was inspired, but so puzzled about what we hear about Heaven.  This wasn't Heaven.  I'm sure if it.  But, I'm still not sure what it is......I think about it every day.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?    I think the first time I went back, I was back in the womb, or a womb-like place.  I know the man was significant to me, but I have no idea who he was.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real    I remember as though it happened yesterday.  I remember everything so vividly.  If you are in a coma, isn't it just supposed to be dark.  If you're dreaming, aren't you supposed to feel as though you are dreaming?  It was not always dark, and there was no dreaming.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Yes     Some people think I have flipped my lid.  I don't talk about it much.

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?           
Yes     GOD IS SO MUCH MORE....WE ARE SO MUCH MORE.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No      

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        After the experience, I have endured horrible depression and anger.  I don't understand how someone 23 could have wished to stay there, but I sure did.

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes     Sorry it's so lengthy.  I really want to know where I ended up!
