Sara Charlotte's NDE

Experience description: 

I had an allergic reaction to meds in the hospital. Total cardiac arrest and flat lined. The sound I heard upon dying was exactly like the sound check that they used to give in the movie theaters when it says "the audience is listening". I was suddenly aware of being outside of my body and heard my sister crying and fighting to stay next to me. I was suddenly in some kind of very long hallway. I felt a being on each side of me and was pulled really fast through the hallway. I felt scared and for some reason pictures of my mom crying at my funeral flashed in front of me. The beings (I guess angels) made me calmer and I all of a sudden knew that I was going to see my grandpa wherever I was headed.

I came to a halt and it was some kind of "Limbo" where my sins where dealt with. I felt sensations of sadness and witnessed my first sin being committed. I was aware of almost some kind of judge being present but not visible. I felt scared and was pleading to help me. Again, the 2 angels were next to me and I was sort of lifted up to a mountain like top with them. I was told to look down and witnessed heaven and hell. Yes, I know it sounds insane to someone who maybe has not been there.

I found my faith very fast right there on the mountain and realized very moment when God had tried to speak to me but I was too busy with material things. It felt like someone had cleansed me off completely. I felt like an almost magnetic pull with the angels and wanted to move forward but the angels told me I had to go back again. I had to tell what I had seen. I just wanted to see my grandpa and felt like fighting going back. It was like I was dropped and I fell and fell and crashed back into my body.

What amazed me was the amount of time I had only been gone less than a couple of minutes but it seems that it felt like hours. I used to be a totally different person before my experience. Maybe part of my personality had to do with being young and naive about life. Not caring for others. I will never forget that there is definitely a place called hell. I can witness to this.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     The incredible emotions, realization astonishment. It is like everything you ever did right or wrong EVER is brought together and presented to you. I felt like I was given the answer to the mystery of life (If I could only remember what that was) For the first time in my life that I could truly understand why it does not matter how rich or how poor you are, how powerful or powerless you were on earth. I was just a bare soul (i guess I can say that) and was somehow told to bring a message back with me.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          No      

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    On the mountain top looking down on heaven and hell. It was a feeling of being truly awake for the first time ever.

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:            I guess the best feeling is exactly like being truly awake for the first time in my life. It was like my life was a dream in a fog at that point.

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     In the beginning of the experience in the hallway it was quite foggy still things were unclear and mumbled like. It is strange but during the whole experience I had a feeling of being transparent, the beings (angels) where also not like people with faces they were more like a presence, they had bodies but not features if that makes sense.

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     

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            Scared (at one point the height of all fears) sadness, then relief, a feeling of forgiveness, an almost child like innocence after being cleansed and a feeling of being fragile, vulnerable. Comforted and of course wanting to get somewhere.

Did you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?          Yes     Yes the long hallway.

Did you see a light?           Yes     I do not know if you can call it a light, more something white and bright. When I think light I imagine the sun and it was not like that or a lamp light.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Yes     The 2 angels ( call them that, I did not see any wings or halos though) and the judgment being.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Yes     It was things I had not remembered ever without the experience. Things I thought mattered did not and vice versa. I felt like I was given complete knowledge of everything and everyone.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Uncertain      The time I came back I told my sister that I heard her cry and scream and she was surprised I knew how she behaved and where she were.

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions?           Yes            My mountain top ( it was like a mountain top, the best way I can describe this)

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Yes     Yes there was no time anymore. if I only could describe to you what that feeling is)

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes            Absolutely, universal order, the understanding of everything.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Yes     I wanted to go further from the mountain top but I was told I had to go back and tell my experience (which I never did except to family)I felt like if I had gone further I was going to see my grandpa. It was a sense of him waiting for me.

Did you become aware of future events?       Yes
            It was so scary. I would tell people to look up to the sky and in a few seconds you will see a shooting star and it happened several times. So very many things happened, including knowing peoples names and where they came from.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     Yes     Immediately after the experience I did something called automatic writing. I wrote a whole page in perfect Latin and I do not know Latin. We brought this to a priest and he confirmed that it was things from the bible (various parts) At this time I only remember the last word being "Omega" People would speak other languages and I would understand everything. People were actually scared of me.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     Very few family members. My mom is now religious, my sister is now religious. I am NOW of course a true believer of God.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    No       I had absolutely no experience or any knowledge of anything called near death experience. I was very naive.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    There is no question for me at all, it was all real.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            The experience in a whole whether frightening or not, it was something I had to understand. I feel so sad for people that do not get a second chance like I did.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was definitely real    It was certain things that were brought up to me during my judgment that I myself would never have known or figured out was such a bad choices that I had made. I understood that even when you say something visious to someone it could be more of a sin that stealing an apple if you are hungry i.e. This kind of thing I could never have thought of. The total change of my personality. I am a proof to myself everyday of the reality of this experience.

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Yes     I give and give and give. My priorities are so changed and therefore my relationships have all changed. I am very forgiving ( I'd like to think) I constantly think of the consequences of things I do.

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?            Yes            Completely from non believer to believer.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No       Only sitting in the movie theater hearing "the audience is listening" sound.

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?          WOW! I have cramps in my hands from writing.

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?      I had a watch on my hand all the time prior to my NDE and since then it seems that watches on my hand malfunction. I read that this is quite common for people with NDE. Maybe add that question. It would be interesting to understand why that is.
