Karl F Probable NDE

Experience Description

It will be difficult to describe all of what happened to me because it covered a good portion of my life and I will tire from this and explaining this drains me. There was a place of greater light that I wanted to go to, but could not. Two men eventually came in and told me I could not go there unless I came back. There have been books and scriptures that were word for word on these types of experiences. As events unfolded some wanted me to not come back, the two men in white wanted nothing of me but to present me with information to make my own choices.

God, Spiritual and Religion:

What was your religion prior to your experience? Moderate Presbyterian

Have your religious practices changed since your experience? Yes No people have to make their own decisions not base them from what I say. I do not believe we can say what is right for me is necessarily right for you. Most truly religious events lead the same direction and therefore lead to Godly events. Unfortunately people want to win and God has already won he has merely created this for our benefit.

Have your relationships changed specifically because of your experience? Uncertain I am not a different person from when I left and when I came back. Life has definitely been more difficult for me to deal with in some respects and more comforting probably in others. Many times I am grateful for the experience mostly very understanding of why we are left to not remember the spiritual from which we came.

After the NDE:

Was the experience difficult to express in words? Uncertain I do not have the words to respectfully give credit to what happened.

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was probably not real Read articles of change from consciousness to unconscious would create hallucinations and explained things that way as time went on I was reliving my life they had shown me.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? Uncertain If you mean events that confirm what happened to me, yes. Otherwise, no.
