Skeeter's Possible NDE

Experience description: 

I just recall being drawn towards a big bright light to the point where I was in the light, only to have it communicated (somehow) that it was time to leave and back I came. The coming back part was the most impressionable and requires very little digging into the memory, as it seems suspended somewhere time. As for a “out of body experience” I don't think I knew what a body was (laughs) however one thing I do remember is that at no stage did I feel grounded during the experience. Another quirky thing which followed was an assumption that I’d be able to look directly at the sun with no problems (laughs).7

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     Yes it is rather difficult to express in words, it's one of the few glimpses of had of my higher self.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     fetal distress.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    My alertness seemed to peak when I was coming back (reasonably clear).

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:            Well it's strange because yes I seemed extremely lucid but on the other hand I don't remember actually thinking about what I was experiencing at the time. People use the word "timeless" I can relate to that.

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.)?  Uncertain      I know the light I encountered was verging on being blinding.

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 don't remember hearing anything during the experience.

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            An emotion which is seldom felt, occasionally I'll get a similar feeling when I look at the night sky or hear a particularly nice piece of music. But like I said earlier I didn't do much thinking at the time of the experience so it was more of an essence or a presence which was felt.

Did you see a light?           Yes     Yes the light I saw was all around me, it was like I was in the light the whole time.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Uncertain      I don't remember coming into contact with anyone/thing else, but I remember a grand presence which seemed to transcend anything (or anybody's) presence I've felt since.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?    Uncertain     

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          Yes     I vaguely remember having something in my hands at the time.

Did you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or dimensions?           Yes            Yes, the light that surrounded me was as good as it gets!

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Yes     Yes the experience played out without any sense of time, timeless.

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Uncertain            Yeah the light was teaching me something, something out of earshot, however it may have corroborated unbeknownst to me.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? Uncertain      When I was sent back it was as if I'd crashed into something and rebounded, simultaneously however I knew it was supposed to be happen.

Did you become aware of future events?       Yes
            This is a strange one, I vaguely remember holding a soft toy in my hands, which I would later collect at a hospital. That being said, i did have an general anesthetic when i collected the toy and was put to sleep under a big light. But i can't see how that would have given me a floating sensation (even with the use of premeds) and also remain so coherent lifelong, plus I've always just known this experience was the first thing that ever happened to me, strange as!

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?     Uncertain      perhaps the toy thing.

Have you shared this experience with others?         Yes     the first people I told were my mum and grandmother, I would have been about 12, It was after hearing about other near death cases that a bell rung and I thought hey! that sounds familiar I had an encounter with a big bright light and mum then said well you did suffer fetal distress, and I thought yes, yes! it was the first thing that ever happened to me. My experience was well on it’s way to being validated when I started reading detailed accounts from other people speaking of the light, and the love it radiated. My family thinks the exposure to all these other accounts speaking of intense love etc. may have caused me (at very least) to embellish the experience, if not present a new and improved version of it.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    No            Hardly (laughs).

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was probably real    it's been in my psyche all along, but I didn't really give it much thought when I was a youngster. I cherished it (whatever it may have been) but just thought oh yeah.. for all I knew everybody could’ve experience this: "A tree is judged by its fruit. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Nor can a good tree bear bad fruit. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, etc" i know that the light radiated goodness through and through.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?            Just the stateliness of whatever it was that lay behind that light, I'm sure it was god.

How do you currently view the reality of your experience:            Experience was probably real            The only thing that pus any doubt into my mind is that possibility that Satan can simulate the love of god and lure people into deception (that's what people say anyway). so yeah i was in two minds about it for awhile there but was relieved to read this:

Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?           Uncertain      I was always a pleasant but not overly sociable child, to the point where my parents suspected I may had autism.

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?            Uncertain      I was baptized in the catholic church however because of my experience my belief system isn't that of a strict catholic.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No       No. The only medication that ever could reproduce it would be one that improved my memory, (not likely).

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?          I encourage anybody else who has had a similar experience (especially during birth) to contact me by email sk8er_davo17@hotmail.com

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes     Yep, that's about all there is.

Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?      Nope, I think most of it's been covered.
