Vladislav Probable NDE

Experience Description

I have so much information that a whole book could be written from it. And to be honest, from what I have read on your site, much of it seems very far from what I personally experienced. I don't want to judge anyone, but most descriptions seem more like dreams, fantasies, or pictures that the brain reproduces in stressful states.

What happened to me was completely different. And even the questions in your form, honestly, do not quite fit my case. I don't even know where to properly start, because there really is a lot of information.

I think it would be much easier to talk directly so that you could ask specific questions separately. That way it would be easier for me to explain everything in order and not miss anything.

I remember everything down to the smallest details: the very moment of transition between reality and leaving the body, where I was lying, who was standing where, what was happening around me in those seconds. I remember what I felt, what I understood at that moment, how consciousness was perceived in that state, and what was actually happening to me then.

And most importantly, in my personal opinion, all of this is in no way connected with religion, death, or anything mystical in the usual sense. There is nothing frightening about it. But after what I experienced, I understood one thing: human consciousness, our world, and what lies beyond ordinary perception are completely different levels of understanding.

And that is precisely why, it seems to me, modern science very often makes mistakes when it tries to explain such things with ordinary logic or to look behind the scenes using methods that only work inside our world. Because it is like two completely different parallels that exist according to different laws.

There are many details. I already wrote earlier that, despite almost 20 years having passed, I remember everything down to the smallest details. And I can say with confidence: the universe and our world are structured somewhat differently than we are used to perceiving. Describing all this here, in one message, is too long. If you really need answers, write to me and ask specific questions. And your question about whether I felt harmony or unity with the world is not quite correct. The fact is that I did not feel like a part of the world, at that moment I was it. Everything was perceived completely differently from how the human brain does it. And it is also structured differently than we are used to thinking. I understood everything down to the smallest details. Although even the word 'understood' is not quite appropriate here. I seemed to see the very principle of how everything works, and at the same time I realized that I could easily become part of it. But this concerns the world specifically. The universe is a completely different perception.

Did scenes from your past come back? No

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure? No

Did you come to a border or point of no return? No

God, Spiritual and Religion:

What was your religion prior to your experience? No comment

Have your religious practices changed? Yes
I do not even know how to answer this question correctly. Let us put it this way: everything is far from what is described in the Bible. Although in some moments there is still a certain connection. But what I saw and understood then was perceived completely differently, not as religion, but as something beyond the usual human understanding.

What is your religion now? No comment
Orthodoxy, but my experience is in no way connected with religion

Did your experience include features consistent with your earthly beliefs? Content that was both consistent and not consistent with the beliefs you had at the time of your experience
This is not quite the right question, because what happens on the other side completely changes the perception of our world, life, and the very understanding of how everything works. It is not just an opinion that changes, the very principle of perception changes. And along with that comes a completely different awareness of the Universe and what we call reality.

I am not some special person. I am an ordinary fool who was truly lucky to accidentally look to the other side for literally ten seconds. But those ten seconds were enough to understand things that are then impossible to forget or to perceive life in the old way.

And the strangest thing is, if I did not know what I know now, I would probably very much want to find out. But when you already know, part of you begins to understand that maybe it would have been better to never see it. Because the truth that people seek all their lives ultimately turns out to be maddeningly simple. And it is then that you truly begin to understand how priceless and beautiful our life is, with all its problems, pain, shortcomings, and every lived moment.

Did you have a change in your values and beliefs because of your experience? Yes
I began to understand how valuable life really is. But at the same time, knowing what I know now, it is incredibly hard to live with it. And I already said earlier: probably, if I had a choice, I would not want to know this. And the strangest thing is, after that incident, I did not start fanatically delving into this topic, I did not turn to religion, mysticism, or the search for 'secret knowledge.' I lived an ordinary life, like everyone else. But after about ten years, everything that happened then, all the memories and sensations, began to seem to return on their own and become brighter. I increasingly started to replay it in my head, analyze, compare, and try to understand. And I continue to do so to this day. Over time, many things seem to fall into place on their own.

Did you seem to encounter a mystical being or presence, or hear an unidentifiable voice? No

Did you encounter or become aware of any beings who previously lived on earth who are described by name in religions (for example: Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, etc.)? No

During your experience, did you gain information about premortal existence? Yes
Everything is a little different

During your experience, did you gain information about universal connection or oneness? No

During your experience, did you gain information about the existence of God? No

Concerning our Earthly lives other than Religion:

During your experience, did you gain special knowledge or information about your purpose? No

During your experience, did you gain information about the meaning of life? Yes
Yes, pure consciousness, what we are used to calling the soul, fully understands how this world works. And I was perfectly aware of that then, I remember it down to the smallest details even now.

In that state, many things become obvious. Understanding comes of why we are here and what we actually are. Not in the usual human perception, but at some completely different level of awareness.

During your experience, did you gain information about an afterlife? Yes
Pure consciousness, what we are used to calling the soul, after leaving the body, and possibly after death, is not attached to a place, events, or memories as we perceive them while in the body. It seems to retain remnants of memory, but, as it seems to me, this is temporary. Over time, what remains is not a personality in the usual sense, but the very awareness of existence. It simply is.

And, as I understood then, consciousness is not limited to one form. It can take any form of life or perception.

Did you gain information about how to live our lives? No

During your experience, did you gain information about life's difficulties, challenges and hardships? No

During your experience, did you gain information about love? No

What life changes occurred in your life after your experience? No changes in my life
The questions listed here are not quite correct. Therefore, it is impossible to give a proper answer to many of them in the usual sense, because everything that happened to me was felt and perceived completely differently. This is difficult to explain in human words or to fit into the ordinary categories of perception that we use in everyday life.

Have your relationships changed specifically because of your experience? No

After the NDE:

Was the experience difficult to express in words? No

How accurately do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred around the time of the experience? I remember the experience more accurately than other life events that occurred around the time of the experience
I already said this earlier: despite the fact that almost 20 years have passed, I remember everything as if it happened a few seconds ago. Everything I experienced, understood, and perceived was so clear and real that I still find it difficult to find the right words to describe it properly. Perhaps even the word 'vivid' is not suitable here. It was something much more real than anything I have ever felt in ordinary life.

I did not fall into any tunnels, did not see a light at the end of the path, or anything like that. Simply, at one moment, one reality was replaced by another. And at the same time, I absolutely clearly understood where I was and what was happening to me. I was fully aware, I saw, perceived, and understood every detail.

And the strangest thing about it was that the human consciousness and that state of pure consciousness in which I found myself seemed to exist simultaneously and were inseparable from each other.

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? No

Have you ever shared this experience with others? Yes
It is not even about how much time has passed. The problem is completely different. Over time, I began to notice that it is better not to talk about this with people. Almost everyone perceives such things through the prism of religion, faith, personal beliefs, or their own fears. And such things greatly prevent a person from perceiving something beyond the usual understanding.

I do not even know how to correctly call it, truth, reality, or just a different perception. But I perfectly understand why some people retreat into solitude, like those monks or practitioners, trying to figure out such things and find answers. And, to be honest, I would gladly talk to people who have actually been through this or are seriously engaged in it. But in all this time, I have never met anyone with whom I could talk about it on the same level of understanding.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? No

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was definitely real
-

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real
-

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

Did the questions asked and information that you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience? No

Anything else to add? Personally, I want to add: what happened to me then, at this stage of my life, I would gladly experience again. But I repeat, 20 years ago it was pure chance. I really turned out to be a fool who was lucky enough to see what many spend a whole life trying to at least touch a piece of truth.

And the strangest thing is, I still cannot even imagine how one can approach this state consciously, let alone repeat it on purpose. I am trying to write a book about this experience so that a person can at least approximately understand what lies beyond the physical perception of the body. But at the same time, I constantly doubt whether it is worth telling everything that happened to me, and whether other people should know such things.

The more I think about it, the more I understand how difficult it is.

Because that state requires something that I cannot even normally describe in words. It is a colossal burden. And when I returned to my body and opened my eyes, I experienced such severe exhaustion that, after walking literally twenty meters, I had to sit down several times. It was incredibly hard for me to even just walk.
