Experience Description

I was a silhouette of dark grey with light grey surrounding the whole area, except for the bright light that seemed to be heading up. The light being was not of earth light. There was no need for the moon or stars. The best way I can describe the light is it was like the look of a full moon brightness. Other silhouettes were moving through the tunnel of light at an upward angle. Each silhouette was alone. I couldn't tell the gender of man or woman or child. There were no animals. There was no color in what I saw. The feeling of happiness and complete understanding of everything of earth was known in a flash. I was home, really home. Nothing of earth was present. The only thing there was me and information entering my mind. ESP is the best way to describe it. A great feeling of I made it home at last, I knew what home sweet home meant. There is no time or months and life is short and death is forever, endless.

The things I now know have been practiced over and over every day since, every hour, every time I paint or write poetry is a map of what I have returned for, the bigger reason has not been found by me, but I will keep looking without choice, driven. I knew how to type and use a computer when I have never used one or even touched one. There are so many things that I could fill page after page of things that I know and do not know why I know them, and they are always correct.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? Life is short and death is forever. Anyone who has had a near death experience could write volumes of things, endless just endless.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? I will have to think about this one, there are so many questions that could be answered but then that would be called books or should I say endless volumes of books on every subject on the planet. This questionnaire is a good start.
