Experience description: 

I drowned when I was 14 years old. According to the witnesses and paramedics I was clinically dead for over 14 minutes. I saw my self dead as looking down at my body and being joined by other spiritual beings. What happened after that is very difficult to put into words. Words just can not describe what I saw and felt. I was told it was not my time. But I was allowed to see so much. And then I was returned to my body.
