EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

            One of the first things that I experienced was at the accident scene.  There were these beings of light but not any type of light that I am familiar with it was a kind of a glow.  These being were tall they didn't  really seem to have faces but they were surrounding the vehicle we were in.  At the time I didn't know that one of my friends was dead later I remembered seeing him lying there in covered in blood.  I also did not know that my body was damaged.  These beings were protecting us from these other "things"  they were dark black and they seemed to buzz around like bees.  They were attempting to penetrate the shield the beings of light had formed around us.  They seemed to know that they couldn't penetrate it but they still didn't stop attempting to penetrate it.  I do not remember feeling any pain I am sure I was hurting because I remember my breathing pattern was irregular but I don't remember the pain. 

I don't know how much time was spent on each of these events because I was not aware of the passing time.  The next thing I remember was being on a boat a Yacht of some sort it was white and I was wearing a white out fit I was on the deck enjoying my self talk with someone that I believe was my best friend at the time.   This is funny because I remember we were eating fried chicken (I don't know what that has to do with anything.  I remember being on the water it was very peaceful as I write this I can feel the rocking of the boat it was a relaxing feeling.  The thing is I have never been on a boat like the one I was on.   

Then I remember seeing myself in different lifetimes that I had previously lived or had knowledge of, I saw my self as a warrior on a Plain of some sort it was cold yet I was not cold.  I was on a horse riding with out a saddle I had a bow and some arrows in one hand and in the other I remember having a sword or large knife.  I might have been in a battle I don't know but I remember hanging on to the pony (because it was not as large as a horse) with my legs.   

I then saw myself as a member of an army for some reason I thought it was the Roman army I remember marching in some type of formation bound I don't know where but I remember that the dirt was very dry yet it was not sand but some kind of fine dirt it felt almost like powder.  I don't understand why I remember these things or if they are of any importance.  Perhaps it is the little things that solve this puzzle.   

I remember being an indigenous person in pre-Columbian Mexico or Central America.  Once again I had been or was involved in a battle I saw myself trying to climb to the top of one of the pyramids in Mexico I have always thought it was the pyramid of the Sun in the ruins outside of Mexico City.  I guess I think that because I went there once to visit and I felt so at peace like I had returned home, like I had been there before yet I had never been there before that time.  As I am writing this I remember that on this trip in which the accident occurred we had driven into Mexico City and I remember seeing them in the distance and longing to see them close up again wanting to be there.  I cant explain this.  I was trying to climb the stairs but I was wounded I felt that if I could reach the top of the pyramid I would be safe.  For some reason I don't know why I believe that I was some type or warrior/Priest.   

Then found my self on a "plain" once again it was like a dried up lake I was sitting on a rock that was not a rock it was the most comfortable rock I have ever sat on.  The only way I can explain it is that it reminds or "memory foam"   at this time I was approached by a "Man" that for some reason I believe was Jesus Christ the Messiah he was accompanied by a couple of other men they seemed older I could see them. They had beards and were wearing some type of robes "Jesus" began to communicate with me we spoke but not like a speak with others here This is one of the things I cannot explain.  The only way I can describe our communication was telepathy yet I "heard" and "understood" what he was saying. 

Let me just say that I have never felt such peace as I did sitting there on the rock.  I asked him questions and he answered.  One thing I will never forget is that love that I saw in his eyes,  I felt accepted, like I couldn't do anything that would stop his love for me.  I began to question him about some things.  He transferred me to a time during the crucifixion.  I remember being in the crowd yelling for him to be crucified, I could smell the blood and I could smell death.  I remember as he hung on the cross I remember stabbing him with my spear.  But he was already dead I didn't cry I didn't regret my sins I just remember stabbing him.  I don't know if this was a vision he was showing me but I remember telling him we "killed" you, you died I saw you die.  He looked at me and said, " Yes but I arose on the third day remember".  I said, "yeah you did".  It was at this time that I knew they were sending me back, and I asked him do I have to go back.  He smiled and said yes, he didn't say anything about me having a job to do or anything like that just your going back.  I didn't want to come back.   

Then I remember being in the hospital I didn't know that I as back in Texas.  But I would walk around go visit the other people that were in the ICU there was one man in particular that I would go sit with I knew he was dying and so did he we communicated with each other.  Much the same me and "Jesus" communicated.  I would visit other people but I didn't have the same connection I had with the man that was dying.  Then one day he was not there anymore he was gone.  When I came out of my coma I asked my mother about him seemed shocked that I would know that he was there so I said to her its ok I know he died.  She never asked me how I knew.   

This experience changed me it shook my faith everything that I believed seemed different.  I would love to say that this experience made me a better person and eventually it did it has helped shape who I am today.  But for about 12 years it made me a worse person according to some people.  To me I just "was"  I no longer feared death or anything else, I felt free.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     I experienced things or events that I cannot explain I literally do not have the words to describe or explain them.  The experiences where not like anything that I have experienced previous to this incident so it is difficult to have a reference point.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Yes     during this experience my heart stopped twice or three times.  According to the doctors I had no brain activity, they kept asking my mother if she would like to donate my organs because according to them the only thing keeping me alive where the machines that I was on.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    I believe I was at my highest level of consciousness when I could go visit people while I was in my coma. at that time it seemed that time or space did not exist.

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            I didn't really feel any emotions towards myself.  I didn't see my self as being me.  I remember once having one while I was awake.  I was in the corner of the room looking down at myself watching television.  I saw my mother sleeping and I remember thinking that poor lady she has suffered so much with that young man.  I didn't see her as my mother or my shell (body) as me.

I then saw myself as a member of an army for some reason I thought it was the Roman army I remember marching in some type of formation bound I don't know where but I remember that the dirt was very dry yet it was not sand but some kind of fine dirt it felt almost like powder.  I don't understand why I remember these things or if they are of any importance.  Perhaps it is the little things that solve this puzzle.
