Zulaykha's NDE

A little while after the 3rd shot was administered, I shot up out of my body and was looking down. At that time a bunch of nurses and a doctor gathered around my body, but I had no interest in it, I looked down on the next stretcher and there was an old man, I almost thought he saw me.  Then I went into the heating duct and out into the waiting room. I saw both my parents in there, my dad was holding my mom's hand. They looked so worried.

The whole time I felt an immense sensation of joy beyond description. The only thing that took away from it slightly was that my parents looked upset, I wanted them to realize I was so much happier this way, they should be celebrating. Besides this feeling of peace and joy, I knew the God existed beyond all doubt. God is the Real, and everything else pales in comparison to his substantiality. I remember thinking how my parents (the atheists) were wrong and it was so ridiculous it was funny to think that God doesn't exist. I wanted to be with God, and remain in this state, but it was imparted to me (not through words) that I must return. I had to obey. I dove back down into my face and immediately saw things through the eyes of my body once more.

This experience was amazing-especially when I look back on it for a little girl to have a realization that there is a God against everything she was taught. I thank God for blessing me with this experience and giving me this knowledge.

Any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience? Uncertain     I believe the multiple shots that were given to me induced my death temporarily but I have no way of knowing what they were. I saw some other nurses giving me CPR when I was looking down on my body, so I think my heart must have stopped for a bit (or at least my breathing)

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words?          Uncertain     I can explain it but there are aspects of God that I realized that I can't fully explain in words.

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

What was your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience?            I was on a different plane of awareness. Not like my normal six year old self. I was much more conscious and alert you can say than when I was in my body. Looking back on it when I got older it was truly amazing.

            Was the experience dream like in any way?  No

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

What emotions did you feel during the experience?          Joy beyond normal emotions. Peace, happiness.

Did you hear any unusual sounds or noises?          No

LOCATION DESCRIPTION:  Did you recognize any familiar locations or any locations from familiar religious teachings or encounter any locations inhabited by incredible or amazing creatures?        Uncertain     As I said, I had no knowledge of religion at the time. It retrospect it seems like mystical union or something. Place had nothing to do with it. In mystical union a hospital waiting room can be like heaven I suppose.

Did you see a light?         No      Everything looked normal

Did you meet or see any other beings?         No     

Did you experiment while out of the body or in another, altered state? Yes   

I witnessed everything that went on in the hospital while I was dead/unconscious (see above).

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?         Yes    My parents would know their attitude while in the waiting room. They refuse to talk about it though, I've tried.

Did you notice how your 5 senses were working, and if so, how were they different?     Yes    I could see normally (except I was floating). I could hear too, but what people were saying didn't interest me. Only my sense of joy and God interested me.

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?  No     

Did you have a sense of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes    As I explained above for a short time I was in a state of knowing God's reality.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?           No     

Did you become aware of future events?      No     

Were you involved in or aware of a decision regarding your return to the body?          Yes    As I said, it was imparted to me that I must return.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience that you did not have prior to the experience?           Uncertain          No, sometimes I have strange dreams.

Did you have any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?          Yes    It wasn't immediate, but I became much more religious, and then I converted to Islam (thank God).

How has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices? Career choices?       It affected my religious practices. I am much more open and understanding towards the mystical practices of Islam than I would have been otherwise.

Has your life changed specifically as a result of your experience?          Uncertain     It has changed my spiritual life. Because I was so young when it happened it's hard to say if other aspects of my life would have been different.

Have you shared this experience with others?        Yes    I've only told people who have similar religious beliefs or are used to hearing about mystical experiences. After the situation with my parents I don't tell just anyone anymore.

What emotions did you experience following your experience?  Happiness, but sadness I had to leave and return to this world.

What was the best and worst part of your experience?    Best=knowledge of God, and joy.
