Experience Description

I woke up early on August 19, 2020. I went for a bike ride with a group of friends. I have no memory of leaving the farm that morning with my bike. I have no memory of the events that happened or anything for a 48 per hour period of time. What I’m telling you is what the group that was with me relayed to me. I fell off my bike and was sitting up conscious. They knew something was wrong and they called 911. As soon as the police officer arrived, my heart stopped and my eyes roll into the back of my head from a cardiac arrest. Within a few minutes, the emergency medical technicians (EMTs) started to perform CPR and provide oxygen for 34 to 38 minutes. I was deceased and had no heart activity. Then a one-in-a-billion chance happened - a second EMT group, that was passing by my location, stopped in to see how the first EMT group was doing. The first groups said that they had lost me, I had passed away, and there was nothing else they could do.

In the second group, a senior EMT said that he liked the old heart stimulant better than the new one and he had some in his bag. They were in constant communication with the hospital and they said it was outside of protocol to use both stimulants and already had the first one and couldn't us the old one. The Senior EMT, who I call him my angel, said to them, 'The guy is dead. We’re just basically going to drive him in and go to the morgue. The hospital dispatch said, 'OK give him the second stimulant.' My heart started back up. I have no memory for 48 hours. I didn’t see the light and I didn’t experience the full death experience because I had no memory of that time period.

But I have three very vivid messages ringing in my head; they seem to come from an angel. The first one was is, 'This is why you came here.' This refers to moving from Nova Scotia 32 years ago. Otherwise, I would never have been revived. The second message was, 'You can’t take anything with you.' This is very relevant to me, as am probably one of the most driven individuals and I’m a very materialistic person. The relevant part of the third message was, 'Life is all about love and relationships.'

After that, my memory returns and I go back to normal. I go back to my driven life feeling lucky to be alive, but now I start to dream of dying. In my dream, I experience the actual act of dying and pass into the most beautiful, most loving, warm, and welcoming place. This is truly hard to describe but I’ve been listening to a lot of people who have had near death experiences. It’s exactly like this loving place you can't describe but it’s an incredible feeling.

I continued on doing as I always had, working hard trying my best to have more materialistic experiences in life. Yet, I am at a point where I’m no longer happy or driven by my ego to succeed. Having more now doesn't make sense to me anymore. I become lost. I know the true meaning of life which is love. I spent two years with a therapist in Boston trying to make sense of it and help me function in life, but all I was doing was working out of my head. I never connected to my soul. I knew it was a soulful connection that would provide the true feeling of love I was looking for. I then began to search for the soulful answer. I knew it was the only way. Now my journey and life makes sense and the world has opened up to the wonderful experience it's intended to be.

This soulful path is something that was delivered to me from the divine. For the first time in my life, life starts to make sense, unconditional love for yourself and for others is the true human experience. I wake up every day and look at the sky and understand what a miracle we live in. I know that breath, the miracle of life, the miracle that we all experience here in our present form. I understand the importance of unconditional love for ourselves and for other people in the world is our true purpose.

I would consider myself the Wolf-of-Wall-Street kind of person. Yet, the messages and experience of feeling unconditional love of the divine have forever changed me. I now have a new purpose for my life to learn to give the unconditional love I felt to others
