Experience description:

Between universities at the time, I was staying at my mother's house in the Spring of 1978, age 22. It was dusk, early evening, and I was in the kitchen washing dishes. Lights were on in the kitchen.

All of a sudden, with absolutely no warning, I was ripped away from washing dishes and thrust into a deep black, velvety void where I felt as if I were floating with no real sense of a body.

Obviously, I felt some anxiety for this inexplicable shift in my Reality, but it was an engrossing experience that had my attention. This void was a brief interlude before I began to visually experience within it.

I found myself out in space, at a point away from Earth where the whole planet was within my field of view. As I watched, the surface of the Earth began to undulate, gently, imperceptively at first, but building in intensity and reaching a point at which there was an explosion of light. This wasn't an explosion OF the Earth, but FROM the Earth. It was a spherical wave of expanding light rushing out from Earth, with leading edge tipped by outstretched hands and faces of living beings.

The wave reached a maximum and began collapsing back down into itself and back into Earth, which began glowing like a small star, which dissipated and Earth was whole and perfect.

And, BAM! I find myself on the kitchen floor, thankfully uninjured.

Disoriented and understandably confused, I stood back up at the sink and absentmindedly began washing some dish...

When, BAM! It happened again.

The entire sequence of events repeated except for at the end of this second sequence, a simple message was conveyed: 'This is good'.

After almost half a century of consideration, this is what I believe – Consciousness is all that actually exists. Everything we experience is Perception In Consciousness.

Perception In Consciousness is facilitated through a bilateral symbiotic flow of information between our partitioned selves and the Consciousness Singularity of which we are partitioned.

Veridical NDEs are best evidence of our true nature as discarnate Consciousness experiencing Perception In Consciousness.

'Death' is simply a transition to a different Perception In Consciousness.
