There were moments when the vacuum didn�t have as much power�. I could float for a few seconds and it�s during those times I could see the scenes like the one with my mother and other ones but then, all of the sudden, the vacuum was powerful again and would suck me up with dizzying speed. I still remember, I didn�t want to die: I was not accepting it and was fighting it with all my strength. I saw sceneries and cities but at one point, the speed was once more dizzying and I found myself in a dark room. The speed was slowing down, there was a rectangular table, four men wearing white shirts were sitting around it. Like clones, they all had the same face and also had a scar on the left cheek. They were pretty chubby and were silently busying themselves making something with white sheets. They looked at me for a brief moment and went back to work. One man was standing: he was strong and tall. I asked him how to avoid being sucked in by the vacuum� I didn�t want to go� I wanted to stay. He took my hand and I cannot describe what I felt� it was warm, soft, a never ending love. I wanted one thing: stay there, holding his hand forever� peace and calm took over my body and I wasn�t scared anymore. It was as if I was drinking this love and wanted to keep drinking it but he withdrew his hand and gave me a look that meant I was not allowed to be there, it was not my time.  Once again I felt sucked in by the vacuum, went through walls and found myself in a hospital in another country. People were speaking a language I did not understand, maybe Scandinavian I am not sure. No one could see me, I tried to get their attention but to no avail� I was distraught. I saw a woman: she was wearing a surgical gown like the ones patients wear. She saw me� truly saw me� and she was staring at me. I understood that she had just passed away but she wasn�t being sucked in like me. I asked her �Do you see me?�. I didn�t want to go but this powerful force didn�t want to let go� I was sucked in again but this time I had an idea: I wondered if I would not fight it and just surrender, if I would come back to my body�. I took a chance. I recited a verse from the Quran and let go. I woke up with a jolt and I was literally choking. I wasn�t breathing well and my heart was beating very slowly but I was conscious and I was alive. I opened all the windows and the colors were so bright, the people so beautiful; I was filled with happiness. I was alive, I was alive�. No words can describe this experience, this anguish and this happiness. Thank you to the people who are reading me and give credibility to my story. I hope I am contributing to something good.
