Experience Description

I have only shared this experience with a few people, it has taken ten plus years to come to terms with and fully understand my experience.

February 12th 2000, I became very sick, and I knew I had to go to the hospital, but I just couldn't get myself together enough to actually go. Finally, the morning of the fourteenth I somehow drove myself to the hospital, although I cannot remember driving there. I do remember walking into the emergency room and when asked what was wrong with me I just said 'sick'. I was sitting in a chair in the emergency room and then my next conscious thought was that I was in a little stainless steel room on a gurney, with a bunch of people frantically all around me, I think it was the elevator. I was conscious for maybe one or two minutes, and the next thing I saw was this brilliant white area, and I knew I was there, wherever there was.

I cannot even accurately describe the 'Entities' that were with me, they were not physical Beings, but rather I had a sense of this intelligence that I felt very comfortable with, a sense that I was at home, a feeling of total acceptance, compassion and total love, almost euphoric.

I was not conscious of being in a physical body, but at the time, that thought never crossed my mind. These Entities communicated in a telepathic way, it seemed that their thoughts originated within me, and I was communicating with them in a similar way. I was told of their what they really were, that they were just a part of the ultimate 'Entity' that was the Universe in its totality, as I and all matter and Beings were also just a part of the whole that is the Universe.

I awoke on February 15 and wondered where I was, and finally figured out I was in the intensive care unit at the hospital. I wondered if what I had seen and experienced was real or not, that maybe it was just some kind of dream, but it was as real as any day in my life, not dreamlike at all, but like any other experience in my life.

Talking to the doctor the next day, he stated that they thought I was gone, and that my blood sugars were 950, and I should have never even gotten to the hospital, let alone survive.

That was not my only NDE. When I was thirteen, I distinctly remember drowning. A bunch of us kids used to go swimming at some ponds that were the result of excavation for the freeway construction. The ponds are over one hundred feet deep, and we used to play a game of grabbing a large boulder and see how far we could go down. One time I went too far, and when I decided to let go of the boulder, I was already out of breath. When I looked up the surface was just a small circle of light. I swam up as fast as I could, but could not reach the surface before I could no longer help but gulp in a mouth full of water. I remember being surrounded by this brilliant white light, but to this day, I have no memory of reaching the surface.

Since my NDE, I have been contacted 'telepathically', by these same Entities, always during the daytime, and have been encouraged to put into writing the knowledge that was 'given' to me. After two years of this contact, I finally wrote an E-Book, 'Universe The Entities'. Even today, I sometimes think that some of what I wrote just sounds so outlandish to actually be true. I not only wrote of the creation of the Universe we live in and are a part of, but of the other physical Beings with a soul, but I was primarily encouraged to write of mankind's destructive nature on this world. The Entity that is you is comprised of a soul (psyche) and essence, the electrical energy that is throughout all of the Universe.

At times when I was contacted by the intelligence I call 'The Eternals', I sometimes wondered about my sanity, if these Entities were gods or what, why was I chosen to have this knowledge. Before I had my NDE, I had never heard of such a thing as a near death experience, and since I have explored some other people's experiences. In all cases where someone described being given this knowledge of the Universe, they all said they could not retain the information. One described it as having all the knowledge of the Universe, only to lose most of it when they returned to their conscious body, one said it was like having an ocean's worth of knowledge and trying to pour it into a teacup, it just over flowed and was lost.
