Experience Description On June 15, 2024, I was stabbed 18 times. I lost so much blood, there was enough left to reach my brain or limbs. It was easy to die. Before losing touch with this world, I experienced an overwhelming feeling of peace throughout my entire body. There were no worries, no fear, no anxiety, no pain, nor any anger. When the paramedics got there, I could hear them talking and feel them lift my body to put me on the stretcher. I could not speak or see them even with my eyes open. I could not move my body. Before I was put in the back of the ambulance, I had left my body on earth/ I became complete awareness in what I would describe as the darkest part of space or the universe. There was no light or stars. There was a glimmer to the blackness that had a small reflective shine to it. The blackness was darker than what we can see here on earth. I went to a black void where there was no time or space. I had no body or feet to look down and see. I was simply an awareness. That meant I couldn't feel any of my senses. I couldn't feel temperature or smell. I had no sight and heard no sound. I didn't have a body anymore and could not move from where I was suspended. There was a form, being, or beings of intelligence that spoke to me telepathically without words. Instead, they spoke through ideas and gave me understandings. Before I was able to put together a question, I had received my answer through ideas and understanding. The answer and my thoughts were done without words or sentences. All I needed to do was begin a thought for me to instantaneously receive my answer. My consciousness was flooded with knowledge about the universe. When I was revived, I was in the emergency room with the doctor stapling my head shut. He was also working on my other wounds. I was allowed to remember that energy, frequency and vibration were the most important things. The intelligent beings did not come off as being feminine or masculine. About 9 months later I googled "energy, frequency and vibration" and what I found was a quote from Nikola Tesla, "If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." Nikola Tesla had multiple near death experiences. Before my experience, I had feared the process of death because I didn't know whether or not there was anything after we die. Now I know. and I can tell you that although it was completely black, my experience was more real than reality here on earth. I didn't retain any memories from my life before death. My clarity was crystal clear. After I was brought back to life, I lost that clarity. I believe the mind becomes a filter to what we understand, perceive and experience. I was also intoxicated at the time but lost the intoxication experience when I passed over. This has become the most profound moment of my life. I believe I went to a place that was before the birth of the Universe; where time, space and matter did not exist.
