[Miss Hepburn]

From Turkey:
It was the first day of religious festival. I couldn’t remember the exact date. I had gotten over a serious illness that year. That’s why I remember the year very well. After breakfast, I left the table and drank a glass of water while I was standing. Suddenly, I felt a strong pain in my chest. I fainted. However, I was still conscious but in a different place - at least my soul was. At first it was very dark. I can’t describe the place. I was asking myself where I was. I realised that I was flying very fast, as if I was looking for myself. I felt very light and relaxed. At one point I saw myself on the floor. I was lying on my right arm. I went down and tried to raise myself, but it was impossible; my body was very heavy. Besides when I try I felt dizzy. Suddenly, I looked up and saw a beautiful place. Everywhere was green; small streams were running. I felt I was being pulled there. I tried to reach there with my hand, as if some hand were pulling me. While I was nearing that place, I heard my husband’s and daughter’s voices. I turned my head and saw them. Then I took my hands back. I was screaming “Not now, not now”. At that point something happened; I describe this event like seperating a column of water from another body of water. I came round. I was told that I had fainted; but I had been conscious.
If death is like this experience; believe me it is very nice. Still, I sometimes faint, but I do not live the same experience at all. Last time I fainted in May 2006. I felt I was the same place. I do not know where it is. I feel afraid that I would love the place and wouldn’t come back. My duties are not over yet in the World. I also believe that if one wants and leave himself the death happens.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience? Yes sometimes I faint and once I went the same place, but always come back very soon. After I lost my consciousness, I feel as if my soul is recharged and get stronger.
