Sam P's NDE

Experience description: 

I was sleeping in the passenger seat when we hit the back of a truck at 60 MPH. At sometime I'm not sure of I went straight up through the air for lack of a better description and approached a cloud that became a cluster of beings.  I knew that they knew everything about me and that there was no need to explain myself. As I approached, the cloud like figures became human-like and I knew that they had always known me and that I was returning home.

I became aware of incredible knowledge that I can't recall now. The sensation was of a piece of a metal being swept into a magnet. The emotion was overwhelming with incredible love associated with the 'magnetic' effect. I sensed I always knew them but when I came upon one being, I wasn't sure who it was. I left and returned to my body which seemed as if I were putting on soiled clothes.

I was worried about my child but got a sense that these matters were taken care of and not for me to worry about. I saw and heard wondrous things, most of which I can't describe but I seemed that there was a rhythm to everything with incredible music ever present. Everything in my life included long forgotten details made sense. In fact, everything made perfect sense. I didn't want to leave. I saw my life as a very brief time span relative to what I thought was a time before and a time after my earth life.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    I always knew that the experience was real and probably more real than anything in my life.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            This world is entirely about love. pity the fools that don't understand that.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real            Things noted are not inconsistent with normal life experiences. Falling in love, love for children. Even the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks - all touch those emotions but are not in themselves complete. The NDE was all of those emotions quenched.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No       Only thing that came close was a trial for the wreck six years later when I saw some of the people who helped us that night. The experience didn't re-occur but it was very emotional for me.

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes    

Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?      Why do people think this is crazy talk when most of what I experienced is in the realm of what most folks claim to believe?
