Experience description: 

Well when I was 10 years old my parents got a divorced. It was 1976. I think October. Any way our family was split up, and before you know it I was living with my grandparents. And after a short time I came to realize that our family was never going to be together again. so I went to bed one night very upset crying and hyperventilating. Somewhere in that time frame I was face down in my pillow because I did not want my grandparents to here me.

I guess I lost consciousness at this time I began to feel very  light and a little dizzy. The next  thing I saw was my body below me It was very pale looking and not moving face down in the pillow, but to me it wasn't me because I was here above this body that was mine. I guess about five feet above it and then I got this pulling feeling like the way the current pulls you at the beach when the tide goes out. and then I started to rotate till I was facing the corner of the ceiling. At this time there was an explosion of white very very bright light.

Then the room started to fade away and this light took the shape of a tunnel that surrounded me at this time I was being pulled at a high rate of speed and there was somebody with me and I felt safe and loved and at peace. This person was transparent but I could still see him smiling at me and saying to me but not talking with his mouth but his mind telling me "every thing is fine" and then at that moment we were in this place of beautiful warm light and millions and millions of people all saying "The time is near" "Be ready for the day, "it was like a loud roar", but very loving the way it was said and the music was like noting I ever heard to this day it went right through you and you was the music as well.

Then I saw this being of light very bright so bright that you could not look at this being I tried to look but it was much to bright. and this voice said to me. "It's not your time" "You have much to learn go learn" "Don't worry you shall be with me someday" "go from me now" I didn't want to go but I had no choice in the matter. I started to get turned and pulled back towards the light of the tunnel except it was much faster than before. and the next thing you know I was going back though the light and into my room then I saw my body and I didn't want to go back at all I fought with every thing I had but I just got slammed right into my body, and it was cold stiff heavy and then I felt this cold air rushing in my lungs and I heard a voice say "Breath" and I was awake and coughing and gagging and shacking because I was so so cold but I could not move good at all and after a while I started to move a little better and got warmer. after that I got into religion. reading Oral Roberts books and the bible even though I didn't understand much of it I wanted to learn.
