Colart Experience
6/20/09
From Belgium
This is when, while
falling asleep, I told to myself, “If only I could do something for all
these dead people”… then I felt as if I was listened to, and I saw a
very light blue glow. Then I exited my body, as if somebody had taken my
hand and made me go out. I then followed this person, I only saw his
hand. We entered a tunnel and I said, “I feel well”. In this completely
dark tunnel, as I followed him, I saw wonderful purple butterflies which
flew with us in the tunnel. These butterflies journeyed like my guide
and I. Then we arrived to our goal. Never shall I be able to describe
this place because it was so beautiful, a truly wonderful landscape.
There were unending big valleys, vegetation everywhere, a very beautiful
color for a green…blue sky with some clouds. I felt great inner peace.
Then I watched the hand that waved to me while saying, “Look at the
river”. I looked back and then saw a stream that flowed so far away… it
was so beautiful…it meandered, it was not straight and represented life
with its ups and downs… I then understood that life is a wonderful
journey and that you should always keep hoping.
Iris S
Experience 6/7/09
My
sister died at home of kidney cancer following an illness of approximately six
months. As she was dying, I was alone with her in her bedroom for a time. I
was sitting next to her, my eyes closed, in a light meditative state. Suddenly,
I moved from my own body and was actually inside of her body. The experience
was absolutely terrifying. I could feel myself shrinking! The life force in
"my" arms and legs was slowly shrinking, and I was horrified by the sensation
that I might shrink so far as to entirely disappear. Locked inside of my
sister's dying body, I could not tell if she was inside with me. I began
screaming, "Help me! Help me!" Suddenly, I realized that nobody could hear me,
and that even if they could do so, that there was nothing anybody could do to
help. I felt deep, deep despair and utter horror. At that instant, I found
myself back in my own body. I fled the room in terror, and to this day, after
four long years, I still cannot sleep in a fully dark room.
Submitted by a college professor (Ph.D. in theology). Rare frightening NELE.
Two points could be made. First, this is the first experience with this type of
content we have received. Thus, the meaning may be more for the experiencer
than us all. This makes hesitant to speculate on the meaning of this
experience. Second, with any spiritual (or other) experience that is associated
with a long-lasting problem in life after the experience, consideration could be
given to counseling.
Valerie
W Experience 6/7/09
I was brought into the surgery room and I was placed under Anesthesia
and went out. I remember waking up in a dark room and was immediately
drawn to the surgical lights and the backside of the Surgeons performing
what I know was my own operation. I was extremely alert and curious
about what they were doing. I approached the surgeons from behind and
began to rise up to their height. I studied the surgeons clothing, mask,
head covers, and gloves. I could see every detail of the surgeon’s face
that was not covered by the mask to include pockmarks and facial hair
stubs.
OBE at age 7 during general anesthesia.
Barry
B Experience 5/30/09 I
was young, probably between the ages of 5 & 8. I had a dream that I
found to be unusual. I wasn't sick, I was just sleeping in my bedroom at
home and I had a dream. In the dream I was apparently in a hospital room
(other than when I was born, I was not admitted to a hospital until I
was about 13 years old for a stomach virus). The first thing I became
aware of was people running into the room: medical personnel. As they
ran into the room from my right, I asked: "Is he going to be all right?"
as they ran THROUGH me. That I found unusual. No one answered my
question and it appeared to me that nobody knew I was there. (They might
have been ignoring me for all I know). My next recollection is that I
began to float above the room and found myself looking down at the
scene. I recall seeing several people standing next to a bed with a man
in it...but I had no idea who it was. One of the people was a nun...I
don't know why I remember the nun, but she was probably the most
identifiable individual at the bedside because of her attire. After that
I have no recollection of any other part of the dream. To this day I
recall thinking: "I've seen my death bed."
Dream at age 5-8, shared 50 years later, with some parallels to NDE.
Jacqui
T Experience 5/23/09
I got up (or thought I had) and was just about 4ft away from the bed
when I realized that I felt... 'strange'. I fell to the floor on the
spot and as I leaned on my right arm to push myself up, I could push my
hand and wrist through the carpet. I realized I must be in some 'sort of
dream' but felt that it was real and I was awake and in control. As I
tried to pull the door more ajar to look into the hall where my husband
was furiously typing away, it would not open enough for me to go
through. I touched the back of the door and I could push my whole arm
through it and it came out the other side. it was not physically
uncomfortable at all (I know this must sound crazy) but rather
exhilarating and exciting to be able to do this! I pushed my self
through the door and was standing next to my husband.
During apparent dream, able to see other ongoing events in the house.
Sandra
S Experience 5/23/09
I remember being suspended in the top corner of a room looking down on a
human baby. What I "felt" up against me must have been the walls and the
ceiling. I tried to move but couldn't. I may as well been frozen inside
a block of ice. Something was wrong. I wanted to know WHAT I was, where
I was, how I got there, and WHO did this to me. Not knowing these things
angered me greatly. I was also frightened which added to my anger. I
couldn't even emit sounds. All I could do was think up there. I looked
down again at the baby and tried to make it move. It didn't work. I was
beginning to realize the baby didn't work either. I don't know how I
came to this conclusion but I became aware that something wanted me
inside the baby. Then I must have come down because the next thing I
know I was in the baby…
Varied and interesting experiences.
RL Experience 5/16/09
I was late for breakfast at my boarding school. I ran down the stairs
and twisted my ankle on the bottom step. The last thing I remember
consciously is hopping on my good leg while shouting "ow!". Next thing
I know, I am talking to God?! There was an incredible feeling of total,
accepting, enveloping LOVE. God "asked" me something like "How is it
down there?" (although it was more like a "feeling") and I replied with
a "feeling" that life was all just about admin and rushing around trying
to survive and that there was very little time or place for anything
"higher". He then "told" me I had to go back. I didn't want to leave, I
felt I was at home, safe and loved. Unfortunately, I then got flung back
into my body, it felt like I landed through the center of my chest.
Two SOBEs described with NDE-Like Features.
Gordon
K Experience 5/11/09 I
decided to go to my bedroom and lie down. Immediately, I felt my feet
vibrating, and then I began to hear a hissing sound. This vibration in
my feet started to move up my legs. As the vibration moved up my legs,
the hissing sound became louder until it became almost deafening. The
vibration started moving up my body in a wave motion. Then as it came up
to my throat, stopped and seem to be stuck. Then all of a sudden there
was an explosion of light around my throat and I was hovering on the
ceiling looking down at my body. My first thought was that I must have
died. At that moment I was transported to this tunnel that had dark
walls. I looked up and saw this incredible bright white light. I felt
like I had wings and I instinctively started flying to the light. I
remember seeing the walls of the tunnel passing by as I flew to the
light. As I became closer to the source of the light, I felt that this
light had a very powerful intelligence. The closer I got to the light,
it seemed that my consciousness was merging with the intelligence of the
light.
OBE with NDE-like features. Very life-changing experience.
Jo-Ann
T
Experience 5/11/09
This is not really MY NDE, but rather a "vision" that occurred when I
was lying in bed next to my dying mother. I was called to the hospital
at 6pm, and arrived from Pennsylvania at around 11pm. My mother was
unable to speak. She had tubes in her throat and did not open her eyes.
I asked the nurse to leave, turned off the TV and the lights, and
crawled into bed with her. I began to sing some songs that my
grandmother (her mother) had sung to me as a child. I noticed a light on
my mother's side of the bed. It wasn't bright-more like an aura, but it
was white. I saw my grandmother, flanked by her other daughter and son.
All were wearing white robe type garments. Their faces were young and
unlined, but not real distinct. They seemed to be walking through an
orchard with a canopy of trees. In the trees and on the ground were
blossoms (I think apple blossoms-white and light pink), and I smelled a
sweet apple smell. I told my mother it was okay to go - and I saw a
white wisp of her going to them. I then heard the hospital machine beep
continuously - and the vision was gone - and my mother had died.
Empathic NELE shared at the time of her mother’s death. Interesting
account in the spectrum of near-death experience.
Liz
S
Experience 5/3/09
It
was around 1:00 AM and I was asleep. I thought I was dreaming a very
"real" dream. In the "dream" I was lying flat on my back with my hands
stretched out. I was in a place that seemed like a beautiful green grass
field, bright sunlight coming from above. Everything was crystal clear
and at the same time slightly unclear. I felt the feeling of being there
-everywhere- and also of laying down in the field to my right. I could
feel my arms heavy. I could feel the sensation of something in my
throat. Nothing hurt, I just knew I wanted to get "up" and join what was
there. But at the same time I could feel a sense of "peace" unlike
anything I have ever felt before. There was no struggle. No sense of
time. I was not cold, hot or uncomfortable. I was observing and yet
being observed. I could feel the presence of everyone that had ever
been.
‘Dream’ at time her father was dying.
Kim Experience
5/3/09 I
don't remember much of what she said except for words like "stupid,
lazy, incompetent" everything sounded blurry and with like an echo. Then
I'm not sure exactly when it occurred but I realized at one point that I
was witnessing her screaming at me at the third person. It felt like I
was watching her from the ceiling above and at the complete other end of
the room, the furthest away from her possible. I don't recall seeing my
physical self although I did feel a presence at the spot where my
physical self should have been standing at but somehow I felt completely
dissociated from that being; it didn't occur to me at the time that it
might have been me and it didn't strike me as odd either.
OBE while being yelled at by a crazy boss.
Dan Experience
4/25/09
I was stopped
at lights behind a car that was similar to one that one of my aunt's and
uncle's owned a few years earlier (which I thought of at the time). at
that point I had a mental flash image of a white sedan crashed into a
tree which I thought was weird. that night my mother, sisters and
brother attended a memorial mass for our dad. about an hour after we
returned home an uncle called to tell us that our aunt (the one that I
mentioned had owned a car like the one in front of me earlier in the
day) had passed away in a car accident. she was driving back to
Canberra from the coast and had veered off the road and crashed into a
tree.
Either a premonition or ADC of Aunt’s death in a car accident.
David
S Experience 4/24/09 I
was sitting with my friend Charles R on the front porch of the apartment
building where we both lived on Bay State Road in the Kenmore Square
section of Boston. It was late afternoon. Suddenly I saw myself
sitting next to Charles on the porch but from a viewpoint of
approximately 120 feet above where we were sitting. I could clearly see
the two of us sitting below my point of view and as soon as I thought
"what am I doing here?" I was back in my body, back on the porch.
OBE while talking with friend.

3/20/09
The angel asks
me if I want to know the answer, I asked him to take me in the beginning
of the link. There is a great plain, very extensive. And I walk on a
"via" ", fully paved. She is very right. On each side of the via, there
are many people. Y'en It has several hundred on each side. They are very
happy, and direct their gaze to where I go. They are dressed in white,
with light clothing in sailing. And some young women wreaths of flowers
in her hair. Everyone talks and laughs, it's wonderful to hear. I still
walk on through, and I reach a sort of small temple. It looks like a
small Greek temple, round. Encompasses the stage, there are four fluted
columns. The columns are crystal pure, really beautiful. Arriving at the
foot of the temple, I stopped a moment. There is a small flight of
steps, and at this moment, I can see that there are three other similar
vias in addition to those where I come from. And yet hundreds of people
from each side of the vias, which will therefore join to form the
temple.
Interesting vision- submitted in French and translated via Google.
Rose
Experience 4/24/09
That
evening as we went to sleep on a pull out sofa in my sisters home, lying
back to back, I heard a radio playing in my head, it's hard to explain
but it was just as if a radio was on in the house, I even rolled over to
ask my daughter if she had on her walkman radio, which she didn't. The
song that was playing was by the "Doors" and it was "Touch Me". The
words are touch me babe, can't you see that I am not afraid, I'm going
to love you till the heavens stop the rain, I'm going to love you till
the stars fall from the sky. Well the next morning I asked my sister if
she had a radio on upstairs and she said no and I replied well then
mommy sent me a song last night to let me know that she is OK, she is
not afraid anymore.
ADC from mother, and NELE.
Alex
M Experience 4/4/09
From Brazil
Original in
Portuguese. Translated to English by Maria.
Afterwards
I saw myself in a tunnel of white lights with blue rays which came from
upwards . I got the sensation of being involved by them. I felt pain in
my stomach like a pressure due to acceleration. And so I heard a voice:
“Concentrate yourself and get into the right frame of mind. Your pain
will diminish”. I concentrated myself and the pain actually decreased.
The blue rays intensified as I entered in a concentration state. I
had the impression that there were different speeds inside the tunnel.
I reached a sort of dark room with big pillars, without doors or
windows, and there were yellow and purple lights. I stayed there alone
for a certain time.
SOBE from
Brazil.
Lourens
M Experience 4/4/09
So there I am arguing with myself while my body lay unconscious. It was
not verbal at all - more like expression and thoughts, also
'vibrations' and me understanding myself. (If that is even
comprehensible...) Conflicted with myself I (Entity one) gave in
reluctantly, and went back down to my body in an almost scary and
urgent manner. Like falling off of a very high building. And I 'woke up'
next to my friend, who did not notice a thing. It is so hard to
explain, but I DID KNOW AND FEEL both entities as ME, also my entities
were a darker black than the void, if that is possible, they were
shaped, but their shapes were not constricted to one form if you know
what I mean. And although I experience this seemingly dull, black void
every time it is so exciting and exhilarating to be there, anything but
dull and lifeless.
Three OBEs described. From South Africa.

A Experience
3/20/09
The spotlight is on the wall at approximately one
meter fifteen centimeters from the sink on the right -hand side. There
was nobody else at home and I was thinking something related to Santi
when I was urged to raise my head from the sink and look at the
spotlight. It was NOT that I thought I had to do it, it just came to
my mind from nowhere and it was so rapid that there was no time
involved from the instant I knew I had to look up and when I actually
did it; it’s very, very hard to explain. What I saw was Tinker Bell
suspended in mid-air fluttering her wings next to the spotlight staring
at me; she looked at me in the eyes with purpose and determination. I
stared back at her and asked her three or four times in my mind if she
was Santi. I wanted to communicate telepathically with her but she never
spoke a word to me.
Hard to classify, it is either a
communication from her son (ADC) or an elemental trying to comfort her.
Kevin Experience
3/8/09
I was operated on to replace an eardrum that was lost while diving in a
pool. It was orientation week for the college I attended. When I was in
my hospital room going in and out of conscience, I floated into the next
room where to women that I assumed were nurses or orderlies were making
up a bed in the next room. They weren't speaking about anything out of
the ordinary, just about others that they worked with. The next thing I
knew, I was back in the bed with friends and family around the bed and
feeling like my head had been run over by a truck.
OBE after operation.
Glendle
M Experience 3/8/09
I had barely started when I became aware that I was in the air moving at
an incredible rate of speed over a two lane highway. Even though I knew
how fast I was moving I could "see" every rock and all aspects of the
landscape as if I was standing still. At about the same time I was aware
of the intensity and beauty of color that landscape provided. At the
same time I became aware of another intelligent presence off to my
right. The presence was just there. I was aware that I could communicate
with it I didn't feel the need to. I was so focused on the euphoria I
was experiencing. I changed course as soon as I thought to my self that
"wasn't I supposed to see a tunnel with a light at the end?" or
something to that effect. It felt like I made a right angle turn in a
northward direction. The other consciousness was still with me.
Kerry Experience
3/8/09
I'm alone and driving my Van down a hill by my parents home and was
preparing to take a customary left turn towards their home. The speed
limit around this area was 25 mph. As I approached the intended
intersection, a VERY loud voice suddenly sounded within my left ear
ordering me to stop the vehicle which I instantly did. Through the
intersection, right in front of me, 2 teenagers driving a 60's Buick
zipped by at about 60 or so mph. Had I not stopped, I would have almost
certainly died or have been disfigured badly by a "T-Bone " type of
accident. The voice said specifically; "Kerry~Stop!" I was wide awake at
the time and will never forget this experience. It impressed me to
believe, without doubt, that an Angelic-type individual was and is with
me for ever.
Premonition that prevented a severe auto accident.
Annie Experience
3/6/09
Original in Spanish, translated to English by
Isabel.
A month
later it happened again. My heart beat very fast and again and it was
like being absorbed by something. I was out of my body but this time I
wasn’t so afraid and I could thought with normally. I saw myself in my
bed and I felt so free!! I went around of my bedroom and saw the window.
I returned to my body. When again I could to move I felt so happy. It
was like having experienced something unique. The life in Earth was
nothing compared to what have just happened. I was eager to return to
live that experience. When it was happened again just time I was over a
village over 6 kms away from there. I can not explain what I felt. I
returned to my home by the beach, everything had a special glow. The
waves were a special white color and the stars came out sparks of light
like colours and gases .A feeling of liberation and unity with the
universe. I had many experiences like this, and my life has changed
completely.

Experience 3/3/09
A final
window opened and as I was crying I watched my father walk into the window of
new dimensions. He was younger, early 40’s, well groomed and very happy to see
everyone. He walked straight to this father who was standing in the middle of
the receiving line with my grandmother to his right. My grandfather was
standing there with a huge smile on his face, with great love and joy with his
arms straight out ready to embrace his son. My dad embraced his father as if to
say….so good to see you again. And the window faded and closed.
NELE with father.
Mitchell Experience 2/28/09
I felt cold wind and I remember seeing my community below me...lights
mainly...and I could see house tops south of where I lived. I don't know
why this happened. I felt wonderment at first and then fear. I came back
through my open window and saw my bed and me sleeping. Weird experience.
SOBE as a
child.
JR Experience 2/28/09
When I
finally wake up for real in real life, I felt insane. The sexual
innuendo is creeping me out, I am completely confused. Why would I want
to have sex with myself? This doesn't make any sense. Why, when after
hearing about all these life-affirming out of body experiences that I
interest so much in, do I finally have one, without trying, and turns
out I'm having sex with myself? I am horrified and disgusted. I'm lost,
grossed-out. I'm let down.
Atypical dream OBE with sexual content.
Virginia
A Experience 2/22/09
As I got
up to go to restroom... I felt strange. I looked down at my feet, legs
and hands.. what I saw so amazed me. I'm not sure exactly what I
saw...some may call it the soul, spirit or over-self... I'm not sure.
But what I saw was these lights had taken the place of my physical
body. The lights were nothing like we have here on earth. Nothing in
this world can compare. They were quintessential in color. The only
words I can use to describe this is that they were alive, vibrational,
pure. After looking at the lights were my body was, I wondered how I was
seeing this in the place of my body. So, I looked down at where I just
left.. my bed. When I looked down, I received the shock of my life.
There laying in my bed... was ME. I have never seen myself like that
before. I stared at my body and was disgusted. I didn't want to go
back into that body. My consciousness was thinking.. "that thing is
sooo tight and heavy.. I don't want to get back in there". Then I
questioned..."How am I seeing my body without my eyes?"
OBE- interesting description of her non-physical OBE self.

I decided to go over to
my mother's house to show her what I could do. she lives very close by. I
opened my door for pup to go outside. I went out the door in regular fashion,
shut the door as usual - it's winter. I floated to my
mother's house. no detour or accidentally floating somewhere else. her lights
were on like they should be. she looked out the door. puppy walked, she didn't
seemed concerned at all that I was floating.

I was running away from
someone in the casino. It was really fun. I wasn't flying but I was moving
really fast, "running", going right close to people. I was moving so fast, it
was sometimes blurry. I was right in with the crowd who were gambling, drinking
and socializing, mostly oblivious to me. All of a sudden, I woke
up and I was in the van unable to move. I just happened to wake up maybe about a
minute before P walked out to the van. I couldn't move. I laid there paralyzed
like. She said "why were you
running away from me in the casino?". I said "I wasn't. I was out here
sleeping." It took a lot of effort to say those few words. She
was really mad.
Bi-location or an OBE?
Her friend saw her.
Synesthe Experience
2/22/09
I thought I should get
back to my body, so I flew up my stairs, only to find instead of my body lying
there, it was a mound of flesh. I still tried to get
inside, and had to re-grow my bones and stretch out the flesh. It was
excruciatingly painful. While I have had OBEs
before in sleep, this was different. During my normal OBEs I just fly to wherever I want and control the "dream."

G Experience.
2/15/09 From
Australia
I was dreaming that I was living in a farm in a small country community, and my
dream seemed like it went on forever. People were running from everywhere with
their kids, animals and hoses, screaming GET OUT , GET OUT, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE .
I remember in my dream feeling calm at first and watching these people trying to
make sense of what was going on. Then I was standing next to this farmer with a
flannel shirt, jeans and an acubra hat, hosing crazy on his house and lawn, And
then I felt panicky. This man seemed significant in my dream, but in real life I
don't know him. I remember I was then hosing and screaming out for other people
to run and get in their cars and the I saw sheep on fire running from the bush
with people and kids alongside them. The panic in these peoples faces and the
screams I heard in my dream, still haunt me now in this waking moment, I feel
ill. I can see these peoples faces for some reason and the shear panic in their
faces, it was horrible.
Precognitive dream of Australia brush fires.
Haidee M Experience
2/15/09
Just
beyond the bridge were some railroad tracks. I slowed up to make a
slight climb up onto the railroad tracks. The moment my vehicle made
contact with the tracks, I was zapped to another place or dimension.
This place was made up of a dandelion yellow light in all directions. I
saw it all around me. This dimension was neither too big or very small.
And our understanding of time only existed in my consciousness because
there was nothing changing there to measure time by. I was surprised to
be zapped there! From the moment I arrived, pure peace (love, joy,
fulfillment) radiated into me forcefully but not painfully. It was so
powerful that I could not think at first. My consciousness was sluggish
almost a drunk feeling. Then like a baby I was suckling on it without a
thought or care in the world which seemed like for several minutes. This
powerful emotion was entering the front of me, but I could not pinpoint
where it was coming from visually. Somehow I just knew that the energy
stream was massive in size. Yet the part that flowed into me felt like
its dimensions were 1 foot by 2 feet covering my head and some of my
chest. However, when I looked down to see the limbs of my body, I had
none. No hands, legs, torso, nada. This was another surprise.
OBE to non-earthly place while driving.

L Experience
2/15/09 My
father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania and had anthrasilicosis (black
lung). That is coal dust in the lungs which affected his heart and
artery functions later in life. He always wheezed when he breathed. This
night he was in a hospital 1600 miles away and having a heart attack. I
was sleeping at the time but felt his plea for help. I traveled to his
hospital room and saw him in agony. I felt that I was helping him
breathe for a long time. After a while he seemed to breathe on his own.
I saw my mother and sister in the room with him. I knew he recovered and
was stable. Later I woke up in my bed 1600 miles away to answer the
phone and my sister filled me in on what I already knew. I felt that I
had traveled out on my body 1600 miles to help my father. I never got to
ask him if he felt my presence since he passed away a few days later… I
saw my mother, sister and a woman who may have been a nurse. The were
actually there at the time.
Dream OBE to father who was having a heart attack at the time. Believes
he helped his father.

2/15/09 That
night she woke me and said, “It is time”. I dressed, Put the bag
in the car and drove to the old Polish cemetery as commanded. In the far
corner there was an unmarked area where she stopped me. “Dig
here”, I had no money for a stone, Jan is here”. I carefully removed a
large square of sod and dug down about a foot. I carefully arranged the
bones in the hole then covered it and replaced the sod. I felt she was
contended and asked her name. “My name is Marishka, your great
grandfather was my relative. Only you could have done this for me and
now I am free”. I drove back to the house and went back to bed. I
told no one since I was not certain it was not a dream and what I had
done, if I were awake, was probably against some law. Several days
later I went to the cemetery and saw that the sod was cut and replaced.
I placed flowers on the graves of my ancient cousins Marishka and Jan
who were together at last.
Remarkably detailed entity encounter.

Patient asked me to be with her at her time of death… With the patient,
I was standing by the side of her death bed with her laying there,
alone, when suddenly, out of the blue, I experienced her presence as
pronounced as if she were standing there. She was wildly joyful,
totally whole and healed, and with God. I heard the words, "Thank you"
and "Good Bye", and then I sensed her spirit leaving the room through an
exterior wall and then total emptiness in the room.

While in the Light, I was told I could ask any question or receive any
answer. All I wanted to know was whether I would go back. Knowledge
passed directly to my soul, without needing words or thoughts. It was
clear to me that: 1) God does exist 2) The "highest plane" on which God
exists is open to all beings 3) God is a being of Infinite Light 4) God
knows and loves everyone 5) We all go to the Infinite Light after death
6) The Infinite Light holds the key to all mysteries

I felt lighter and lighter then heard a piano below me playing. It was
Chopin’s Minute waltz and done very well. As I enjoyed the music I
realized that the piano was behind and not below me. As I looked down, I
was on the ceiling and the person playing the piano was my twin. I began
to recall being a student of Chopin in Paris France and preparing for a
concert. While out on an errand, I was accosted and put into the Army.
My body ended up as compost in a French field. It seemed the concert was
being performed tonight, but by whom? The finale, Fantiasie Impromptu,
from which "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows” was derived was now being
performed and as it faded into the night, I drifted down. When I looked
up, I was seated before the piano and a room full of people were
standing and applauding.
NDE briefly described and also past life remembrance.

Experience 1/23/09
From Mexico, original in Spanish, translated to
English by Simon
Then suddenly I saw a black circle on the wall, like the mouth of a mine-shaft,
followed immediately by a light in front of me, whiter than any I had ever seen.
It did not harm my eyes, but was a strong light, which lit up the silhouette and
the hands of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He offered me his hands as if to welcome me,
and in a most beautiful tone of voice he asked me:
"Maria, do you wish to come with me?" Without hesitation I replied "Yes!" This
was without reflecting twice, my reply was instantaneous, and straightaway my
mother appeared on the scene, saying: "No, Lord, don't take her with
you, I still need her so much." With that, the well of light
disappeared, and turning round I saw myself in my bed, and I saw how two
angels, strong and adorable, who were holding me up by the arms as if to
take me upwards, let me go all at once, and by this action made me
"return" to my body, with such a jolt that it made me wake up.
STE from a meeting with Jesus.

M Experience 1/17/09
I had been taken to the hospital following the accident. The doctor
checking me out decided I needed stitches in my knee, and I got
hysterical about it. I was left alone in an examining room until he
came back to sew the cut up. I sort of zoned out. I was in shock from
the accident. Then I was outside my body, looking down on it from the
upper right corner of the room. It looked like this thing that had been
tossed aside, like my Raggedy Ann doll dropped in the corner (that was
the analogy I used describing this experience, when I was still a
child). I felt no sense of connection to it... it was just an object.
Then a woman appeared beside the bed. She didn't come in, she was just
there. She was blurry, she didn't have any distinct features. I used
to describe her as "looking like a genie:" female on the top, and just
fog below. She looked at my body and smiled, and then she vanished. I
would like to say that I had some sense of her identity as my mother,
but I don't, just that she was definitely female. I think she was, but
that's something I concluded later, not thought at the time. This all
happened before I learned that she had died.
OBE at age 9 following auto accident. No apparent imminent
life-threatening event at time.
Rae
Experience 1/10/08 Several
weeks after this experience, in May, I started feeling this love in my
heart. Similar to the initial experience in the restaurant. At times
this love became so strong, I would have to stop my job and go into the
bathroom until it passed. It was an absolutely amazing feeling. Through
this constant barrage of intense love, I became aware little by little
of how beautiful all people are and that everyone is made of this love.
Even now I still feel this love in my heart. It doesn't seem as intense
as it use to, but sometimes it becomes very warm, fuzzy feeling that
lights up my inside. I know this love is from God, and I know everyone
is made from this love and is this love. The sad part of knowing this is
others do not believe me and do not even know that they are love. This
sometimes makes me extremely sad. I use to speak of my experiences more
when this was first happening because I thought maybe there are other
people who feel this amazing love in their heart, but people do not want
to believe it. I know it is true because it is in me.
STEs over a period of time.

R Experience 1/2/09
Sleeping in my moms bed last night at around 11:30 PM, 1 1/2 hours after
I went to sleep, I woke up and realized I was on the ceiling. I was
looking down at myself and my mom in my moms bed. There were dark
shadows moving/rocking from side to side. They were standing on the
ground shoulder to shoulder around the bed and were about 4 feet tall or
a bit taller. I don't remember coming back into my body or falling, I
just felt scared and needed to get away from those things and I was
instantly in my body. I immediately woke and gasped and sat up with my
eyes open.
