What I experienced was a quick boost upwards as I watched the world around me shrink.  Then I was in space. I could see the world from above for about a second and then I was boosted upward again. I lost sight of the world.  I could see stars and beautiful colors moving like waves in the ocean.  I began to look around and I could see the distant stars disappear.  Then I was taken to an area in space where there were no visible stars.  I could still see those colors, even some that I can't explain.  The colors were moving in waves.  At this point, I began to reflect on my life.  I thought about what I haven't accomplished, memories of my family and the people I cared about.  I remember knowing I was dying, but I have no health issues. I gained a sense of knowledge and respect even for the most insignificant things in life like insects, rocks, trees, and things that would usually be assumed as nothing particularly special.  I realized how important I really was despite the general feeling of thinking I was a bit bothersome.  After this I began to have a boost in what you would call your sixth sense. I began being able to feel emotions of people around me. 

Just looking into eyes are still intense for me and the effects are still with me to this day.  Another weird fact is that when I was a very young kid I could see spirits at night and out of fear I just blocked them out of my mind, weird stuff but all true. The experience definitely changed how I feel about life in general and overall it was a enlightening and scary experience, felt as though I got a sense of what truth really is and what truly is important in life.
