Experience Description

Coming home from work at 12 midnight. I hit a deer on my motorcycle at fifteen miles per hour. I went to a place that looked like a theater. On the screen appeared a walkway that went to the left. Could not see where it went. I felt Jesus was sitting to my right. Felt totally accepted. This place knew everything about me. Every thought I ever had. No words were needed. Every thought was known. Heavenly feeling is the only word I could find to describe this space. Fluffy red surroundings I call a space. Woke up on ground with laceration to right side of head above right eye. Doctor in the emergency room said bad concussion. Felt a very high adrenalin level. Felt very strong physically. I got angry because I wanted to stay in this heavenly place. I could not remember who I was or where I lived for 1 hour. I told myself to remember and did. My name flashed in my mind. I rode bike home and went to hospital and got ten stitches above my right eye.

Was the experience difficult to express in words? No The feeling was so positive that the only word I could say was heavenly.

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Yes I saw a walkway similar to the experience that went to the left six years later at a doctor’s office when two swinging doors were opened. I am much more aware of my actions and reactions in general.

Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you? The worst was waking up and realizing my body was damaged and I had been sent back to an earthly place. A place that was hard. The best is the knowledge that all the good I knew is there is there. The possibilities in that place for love is endless. No food needed. No air. No bodily needs. You are one with this environment.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? Yes Saw a walkway like the one in my experience at a therapist office. A peaceful feeling came over me. If we become too attached to this life and our everyday struggles, we may never know this heavenly feeling. We must take time to rise above our physical circumstances.
