Experience description:

I was driving home from work, alone in my car.  I had come to a place near the water that I love. I remember thinking that it was a beautiful place to be. I was then in outer space and could 'see' (not with my eyes but with another sense) the stars and all the heavenly bodies forming and stretching across the sky from the beginning of time to eternity very quickly. At the same time, I was aware of all things from the smallest organism to the biggest happenings of outer space. I had a "knowing" of everything and anything. Above my head and to my right a bright light (not blinding but brighter than any light I have known) flowed quickly towards and over me engulfing me and all the other souls in the universe and down on earth (which I was fully aware of entirely). Simultaneously, the light was also this complete LOVE. It was a type of love that cannot be described as it is not like anything I have ever known. The love came with the light. It was received and given at the same time. It spread from what I instantly knew was God to encompass everything in the universe and beyond. The love was like bliss and so complete that there was no room for anything else. (No room for evil). I had a strong message (no words were spoken) that what I was doing was the right thing to do, and that I didn't need to do anything other than what I did. During the experience I had no sensation of a body at all. I felt one with the universe. Next I was back in my body and still driving my car at the very same spot that I had been before the experience began. The experience seemed like it could have lasted about 10 minutes, but there was no sense of time really. I have felt that I was 'shown' more than I can remember. Also, I feel that where I was , was home and that I am only visiting earth for a purpose. I feel that I know the purpose but that I just cannot remember it.

Since this experience, I have no interest in earthly possessions, I am not afraid to die, I love everyone and do not know how to hate. Forgiveness is easy and right-ness is a must. Peace in the world is possible if only everyone could have a similar experience to see this kind of love. No words can describe it. I find I cannot explain it to my friends and family. Each person must have the experience themselves.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words?          Yes    No words can fully describe it. Nothing was seen or heard or felt. It was a "knowing"

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          No      Never, in fact I felt like I was being 'told' that all I was doing was the right thing to do.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?  I cannot answer this question because I felt conscious the whole time. I was either conscious of being in the car or conscious of being in space, or in the light or in the love or back in the car and on earth again.

Did you meet or see any other beings?         Yes    I felt other beings everywhere. We were all part of each other and the light and the love. It is too hard to describe in words.

Did you experience a review of past events in your life?   No      I felt I was being shown the universe and the world from the beginning of time to eternity. I learnt that I knew why I was here on earth.

Did you become aware of future events?      Yes
          Just a general awareness of the universal future. I don't remember it except that it was happening as it should.

Did you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience you did not have prior to the experience?       No     

Have you shared this experience with others?        Yes    Only two people. A friend and my sister who didn't say much. It took me about a year to tell anyone. At first I decided it was personal and too hard to describe. I still think that it is.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? No     

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:   Experience was definitely real   I just accepted it as something that happened to me.
