Experience 2/4/10
I was sitting on the sofa waiting for a friend to return back to the
house so was reading a book on color therapy when this strange sense of
deeply connecting with my inner self took over my consciousness. It
first began at the point where I was able to consciously connect with
every cell in my body and then my own inner voice told me that I knew I
could do this 'connecting down to a cellular level of my body' all
along. Like it was some kind of common knowledge at a very base or
spiritual level or an awakened inner consciousness? The more I seem to
curiously concentrate on this feeling the deeper and more profound it
became. It felt like 'home' and very 'natural' on some level to do this.
The next aspect of this experience was that my body became very light in
my torso area and I started to feel a separation of my body as it seem
to float off.
STE with deep inner connection.

Experience 2/3/10 I
began telling my grandfather that it was okay to let go and God would take
care of him and to go toward God when I felt like I was being pulled toward
a great bright light. Not a harsh light but a light filled with warmth and
peace. I remember feeling and seeing my grandfather's had in mine and him
telling me he was scared and he needed me with him. It was bizarre as I was
not dead or dying but I was having this feeling as if my spirit/body was
being pulled toward the light at the same time as my grandfather was. The
light got brighter and then enveloped us. We were standing in a place that
was illuminated but not with regular light or lamps or candles and there
were other people there but I could not make out who they were nor was I
frightened or surprised to see them. My grandfather was on my left and we
were still holding hands.
Exceptional experience of transitioning with her dying grandfather into the
afterlife. These types of experiences, along with shared NDEs, are among
the strongest evidence that what happens in NDEs is what happens at the time
of permanent, irreversible death.

From France, Original in French translated to English
by Jacqueline. I saw myself walking in a
lovely garden, a pebble path of light gray (amazingly, they did not
sound under my feet). The brightness of the place struck me. The light
was very bright, intense but not at all dazzling, pleasant. The colors
were indescribable, as we do not see on earth, green grass, blue sky,
flowers, everything seemed much more beautiful and almost alive. There
were people away, who were talking quietly, with a pleased look. They
greeted me with the head and a smile and kept on with their
conversation. They wore white robes without belts, to the feet. I felt
at peace and safe. I saw a small white stone bench (like volcanic rock,
but white), without back, on the edge of the road (I did not walk in the
grass because it was so beautiful that I did not want to damage it). I
sat and waited, certain that someone was coming to meet me, but I did
not know who. I heard the birds sing a song similar to those of birds
down here. They seemed aware of singing and being appreciated, even if I
did not see them.

Cezyl Experience

I hardly believed my own eyes; even after all I’d
researched and seen in film and on paper. I was actually seeing a UFO,
and if not for the fact that I was seeing it I may not have believed and
probably would not now believe my own seeing myself! In my own town, and
only blocks away from my own home. I didn’t have to take a trip to Gulf
Breeze, nor camp outside of Area 51, as I’d previously thought (and was
planning to do). The craft seemed to stay out of the cloud for only a
matter of seconds, as if the beings piloting it endeavored to answer my
call of letting me see, and then go about their business.
Several UFO encounters.

Experience 1/14/10
I opened my eyes and there was a translucent white, bright light all
around me in the room. I could see through the light and see the TV on
un front of me. As I felt the warmth of the hand that held mine I was
engulfed with love, unconditional love was filling me, I was smiling
from ear to ear! Tears still steaming down my face, I heard a male voice
say to me, not out loud but telepathically, in my head, everything is
going to be ok, none of that matters now. I Will always love you. I
asked him if he was holding my hand and he said yes, He told me he was
sitting beside me. Meanwhile, all I could feel was this complete
unconditional love and forgiveness. I was so happy, so close to him! To
this day I am still not sure who came to me that night, was it God? The
lord Jesus? my grandfather, who by the way had a close relationship with
Jesus. Whoever it was, he was divine and he loved me! I felt close to
him and I can't wait to be with him again someday.

After closing my eyes and beginning to meditate on correcting these
three conditions my sister gently appeared smiling at me while gently
floating in front of me in the blackness of my meditation. I could see
her whole body as if suspended in mid air. The vision was totally silent
and hyper real, more real than anything I had ever experienced including
daily life. She was wearing a long white gown that covered one shoulder
and surrounding her whole body was a beautiful golden translucent
glowing envelope of light that was about three inches thick. This Light
was fully conscious.
Meditation experience near the time of his sister’s death.

I then found
myself floating in this multi-blue space with a large bright white ball
of light. It was just me and this Light. It seemed as though it were the
sun and I was in orbit around it. I decided to test this to see if I was
dreaming still. I turned my head to the right to see if it would follow
my gaze and it stayed fixed in place. I found it all very curious. I
even thought to myself that the bedroom ceiling light was on but that
didn’t make sense because it just didn’t fit. The ceiling light had
several bulbs and I would have been blinded other wise if it suddenly
turned on. Now I had no fear but I didn’t feel any overwhelming since of
love but no rejection either. I never tried to go into the light. I was
quite comfortable and peaceful just floating there. It was nice just me
and the light. The only thought that came to me was “This is where all
dreams flow”.
NDE-Like dream OBE.

then it began.......the candles did not dim... but grew quiet, the music
which was very low became a physical thing in the room...then very
gently the sound of wings folding one upon another could be heard. you
could hear the structure of the bone and feather as they folded, one
upon another....one on another and I knew it was covering angels and as
I knew this I was no longer here...I was there. There is where the sky
was as blue as twilight on a perfect summers day...there was no coldness
just warmth and a feeling of knowledge and LOVE and the knowledge was
(is) that everything is perfectly planned your cares for the world
evaporate as the truth of just how safe everything you leave behind is,
how God has His hand on us all, how everything is perfect and makes
sense, How EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.....
OBE at time of romantic tryst.

12/19/09 I
took a step forward and gazed up at the light, which was brighter and more
beautiful, golden and full of unconditional love than I can begin to express
in words. As I stood there, looking into what I simply knew to be the
presence of God, I "heard a voice" - not with my ears, but deep within, as
if someone could speak words into your very being without sound. What I
heard, translated as words was: "You are loved. You are accepted. You are
approved."
Remarkable and very NDE-Like STE.

That night I remember going to sleep and suddenly it felt like I was
flying by my neighborhood above and watching a scenario happen. In OBE
there was a boy I went to middle school with, I remember seeing him walk
through this parkway towards the mall I lived generously close to. And
it felt like I was following him above and sometimes along side. It kind
of felt like I was there watching from above floating kind of. Than all
of a sudden I saw a blue ford-like pickup truck driving through the park
also, than I saw a blurred glimpse of a white male with a baseball cap,
he pulled a rifle out of the window and shot the boy in the back. it was
so detailed.
Remarkable OBEs, including witnessing a murder that was later confirmed.

The first event that I can remember, I was 3 yrs, I was in a swimming
pool, I could not swim and I somehow walk to far into the pool and went
under water and started drowning. The water burned but the next thing I
know, was I could see the lady sun bathing next to the pool and I saw my
self drowning. I was wondering why couldn't she see me. Then the next
thing I remember, I was on the ground and they were doing CPR.
NDE from drowning at age 3 and multiple OBEs.

One day I asked my guardian (angel), which we all have from birth, to
show me if possible what a person feels when they go over to the other
side. I asked him to teach me what death is like. That night I went to
bed quite late, I was reading and taking notes, it would have been
around 2 in the morning when I lay down. I did not take long to go to
sleep. It was something wonderful, I felt that beneath me were men
carrying me on their shoulders; I was in a coffin, feeling no fear at
all, simply an eternal peace. I saw the people who were at the cemetery,
and my body. I was conscious of being inside the box but in myself, my
true being, I was outside and attempting to tell the people that I had
not died, that I was still alive, but nobody, nobody heard me or saw me.
Experience with guardian angel when she asked to be taught about death.

From India
I
went for sleep for around 2 hours. After a while I woke up but could not
move. My body became numb. I could not move any part of the body not
even my eyes or head. I was lying straight with my head turned to my
left. Suddenly a apparition dressed in white came in front I could not
see the face only the dress since my head was side ways. The apparition
just came to my right side and lied down. It said something in Hindi
language 'Don't get angry'. I was terribly scared. I could not move. I
could not see. I started chanting the name of God. For a moment I was
shocked. After 2 minutes my body returned to normal. I could move. I did
not see anyone around me. I was pretty scared. It was for real. No I was
not sleeping. I was fully awake.
OBE, Possible REM intrusion.

It was a weekend morning and I woke up around 8am. As usual I got
dressed into some casual clothes and and turned on the TV. Within 15-20
after waking up I walked outside and down the street heading to the
beach like I do every weekend morning to check the surfing conditions
for the day. It only takes about 1 minute to get to the beach. About
half way to the beach while walking in the middle of the street I
experienced something I never felt before. All of a sudden I was
looking at myself from behind and my body was still walking towards the
beach. I seemed to be about 10 feet behind by body and slightly
elevated. Maybe about 5 feet higher than normal. It only lasted about 2
or 3 seconds and I was back to normal while still walking.
Brief SOBE while walking.

K Experience 12/6/09
A being appeared in front of me. It was the most loving being I have
ever encountered. It had blue almond shaped eyes which were electric
blue, lightning flashing pure energy particles. I felt the most intense
love EVER. I still question if this is my soulmate. This being was
holding a red rose. The rose was intense fiery-love, ever-blooming. I
came closer to the rose and I saw inside, that I could travel into the
center of it. The center became orange and I went into it. In it, the
being showed me that the rose represents Christ and his blood which was
shed. (I was not a Christian at the time.) I traveled into the bottom of
the rose and through the green stem, where the thorns were shown to
represent the crown of thorns. I traveled downward and then was a woman
with a shawl standing at the base of the cross. The woman was standing
to the left of me and we were both crying.
Multiple, often very vivid, OBEs.

I began having extremely intense contractions, when my doctor came into
to check my centimeters his voice was very soothing and helped me become
more focused on the self hypnosis process that we had been practicing
for approximately three months. In the middle of a contraction I was
transported by nursing staff from my bed to a gurney in order to
transport me into the delivery room. It was during this transport to
gurney that I began to feel as though I was floating above my body. I
could hear the conversations around me, but it was as though I was
separate from my body and had no feeling of any physical experiences.
It was only when the doctor said "here comes the head" that I felt my
self immediately drop back into my body and could feel the physical
effects of birthing.
SOBE at time of delivery.

From Canada
I was standing
just outside the classroom, chatting with a classmate. Suddenly, I felt
that I was out of my body up and away into a dark void. Then I turned
into a stream of air seemingly and went through something narrow like a
tunnel. As I came out shortly, I saw a bright whitish Light
without boundary not far away. I sensed in my incorporeal state that
this is like God. I tried to move closer but felt some deep and dark
constraint hindering me. Then surprisingly I re-experienced my life
events backward in an accelerated speed, all the way back to an early
year of junior school. It stopped at a TV scene of an animation-series
which I watched then about a soccer player, all like in a matter of a
few seconds.
OBE with encounter with a light and life review.

Somewhat overwhelmed with depression, anxiety and confusion, I found
myself out of my body. No physical trauma at all. I was probably
exhausted with mental anguish. I do not use drugs, nor am I on any
prescription drugs, nor do I drink. This was so clear and I remember it
so well that it is extremely real to me. I found myself flying with a
comforting being on my right side. Somehow I knew he was there to
guide me and watch over me. I never saw him but somehow I knew he was
amused because I was so excited about flying and I could go through
things like walls etc. We communicated by mind only. I was astonished
that I was so light and all my troubles were gone and I was in the blue
sky flying over the ocean with him. We flew over the Galapagos Islands
(I do not know how I knew that's where we were but I just "knew.") It
was so beautiful.

I tell my wife that it was a miracle we survived etc, but I keep adding
the phrase "I saw something, I know everything is going to be OK". I do
not know what I saw or why I know everything is going to be "OK". I just
know it. It bothers me a bit but I credit it to just some
emotional component in my flat line brain. I let it ride. Then, one week
ago, as I was in the twilight area of sleep, it came back. I sat up in
the bed and started weeping. I do not weep. I was outside the aircraft
and was looking at a horizontal band of white light. The background was
dark and the ground below was featureless. The MiG had flattened out
into a plate like sheet of gray. The sensation of "Everything is going
to be OK" was simply "There". I did not see my body. There was no sound.
The horizontal band was about 10 degrees in height, not pulsate, not
particularly intense.
Physician shares experience that defies classification. Apparent
miraculous avoidance of plane crash in a MIG. OBE component.

After a brief
stop the wheel began to turn back away from the flames and the chasm.
At that point I knew that I had faced the force of evil and had won. I
knew that I was going to be OK and I was going to be a stronger person
in the future. Eventually over a period of several days it all
dissipated and went away. For several days I was weak and drained.
STE involving vision of hellish chasm and a fight not to enter it.

I woke up and
this is when I had my experience.
I was lying on my back and my husband was on his stomach (the way he
always goes to sleep). I awoke and turned my head in his direction and I
saw a blue/grey light surrounding him. He was raised off his stomach
(arched from his back), and was literally vibrating. Not shaking but
vibrating. I was looking at his face, his eyes were closed and his lips
were protruding. At the time, I was witnessing this (and I WAS NOT
dreaming), I had such a sense of calm. I could not hear any noise at all
and I felt no movement at all and yet I saw this vibration movement of
my husband.
Empathic NELE with unexpected death of husband, after they had been

I seen my friend sitting at the end of the couch by my feet. His name
was Adam & was a good friend of mine. He had died months earlier
suddenly,...after being released from a long prison sentence he came
home & died 2 weeks later as a result of a overdose. He had decided to
try heroin again after being clean for years, & died alone in his room.
I was overcome with joy by seeing him by I suddenly had a rush come over
me...like a feeling & I received the explanation that it was Adam doing
these things to me for the past 2 weeks. I got annoyed with him & said,
"It was you? You were doing this to me? Why??" It felt like I was moving
my lips but the question came inside my mind. He answered," Because I am
mad at all of you. God made me die for a reason, so you all would stop
getting high & you ARE ALL STILL DOING IT!" I knew he was talking about
the circle of friends we had, which all of them used heroin…

My body got extremely dizzy when I tried to lift the ice off of the lid
and suddenly I could see myself from above like a birds eye view of what
I was doing...I was still very dizzy and every motion seemed like it was
flashing... like if you were to look at a book full of pictures and
flipped the pages and it turned into a movie. It lasted for about 3
seconds and I was back to normal.
