Experience description:

First of all, excuse me for the mistakes in the writing, I am Brazilian and my native language is Portuguese. 

I got home at 3:00 am, after a heavy party night. I was very very tired but could not get to sleep. By 5:30 am I was sitting on the couch and I remember closing my eyes for a second and that was when everything started. 

At first I was hovering over a section of one road that connects the city I was staying with a village called "Arraial da Ajuda" (meaning Camp Help). At first it seemed like a dream because I was hovering over a resort that was already up and running, but I knew that in reality it was still under construction. I was already on a higher level of consciousness than normal, because even then I was able to understand that what I was seeing did not match the current reality. A little further down the road, there was a small hill with a small chapel, which in reality was ruined but I was seeing a beautiful chapel in perfect condition. 

When I was hovering over the chapel I felt a strong vibration and instantly I was taken to the place where it all happened.

It was an infinite space filled with a shiny and dense fog. There was a feeling of absolute knowledge, absolute love. 

I was just a vibrant light, floating in this fog, and I felt an indescribable lightness by not having to carry my body.

There were other lights (entities) that were also floating in this fog. Some of them approached me and stood by, while others stayed briefly and left. They glowed with the same intensity that I glowed, but I felt there was a hierarchy, not a submission type hierarchy, but a hierarchy of purification or similar.

There was also a light that glowed stronger than all and I could feel it was God. He was a little farther away than the entities around me, and approaching slowly and gradually. 

Once I got there the first thing I felt is that love was everywhere. Love was everything. A feeling of happiness that words fail to describe. There is no way to explain the intensity of these feelings because there are no parameters for comparison.

Time no longer existed, I'm not saying that time had stopped or was going faster than normal, time just did not exist anymore. It is difficult (or impossible) to explain this feeling, but my life was converged in one spot, past, present and future all together and accessible in real time.

There was also a full connection with the whole universe. I had absolute knowledge about everything. 

I remember that when I received this avalanche of new feelings, I thought, "So this is it" meaning how good it was to be there, and at the same time realizing that this was what happens after death on this plane. And also remember that I looked at some facts in our plan and pondered the thought "Things that we believe are right or wrong in our plan are not necessarily right or wrong here".

At that moment, I had full understanding of what was really right or wrong, but when I got back, the understanding was lost and I just remembered that I had thought about the matter.

I also understood that our plan works like a place where all entities come to purify themselves through experiences that are lived. And that since being here, there are restrictions and limitations of understanding and contact with the upper plane. And it is a necessary rule. 

My last thought was "Wow, I could stay here forever" but when I thought about it, I remembered my children and also thought "But I have to go back because there are many things that I still have to do," and then I went strongly sucked through a tunnel that looked like a gray trachea and opened my eyes.

I was still sitting on the couch, and I jumped up startled. At the time what bothered me most was the feeling that everything had happened when I blinked my eyes. However, this seemed to have elapsed in a much longer time for everything I went through.
