NDE and STE

[Saved65]

A medically induced coma that lasted 3 days. I did not cross over but had a spiritual awakening when I fully regained consciousness. It will be 10 months.

I would love to talk about NDE/STE outside the Welcome Thread. I’ll see if there’s one there and hopefully hear from you all! When I was younger I did not know what NDE was, it was hard for me to label my experience, it comforts me to see it again on SF. I don’t think I’ve seen the term STE before, should be exciting conversations!

Certainly the little effort I have made in this life did not deserve all
the Grace I was shown in my many STEs and all the blessings besides.
Our lives will never be the same...it is like an Awakening...a Quickening.

In past lives, somewhere, ♫ "I must have done something good."♫

I wonder do you feel envious that he is chosen for those things ?

When I had my STE I thought I was kind of chosen. How many people go through these experiences? It’s pretty interesting when you think about it, my case was a bit difference in a way, I asked to have the experience and I got it. My experience could be looked at as “ being chosen” because how many people ask to see a miracle or a sign from a higher being, I would think a lot and that it’s common. But then again I was seeking an experience. In a way yes, I could see that it does look like being “ chosen”. Anyway, having a STE or NDE is not always cracked up to be. Sometimes I wish I never had one. It took me a long time to deal with it and I’m still learning from it. I love these threads on STE AND NDE.

When I was finally lucid and aware of my surroundings, the world took on a completely different look and feel. I felt so at ease with myself and with the world around me. I bonded easily with others and unconditional love of my fellow man was present. I was driven to help others whenever I could. Colors were more vibrant than ever before. I had an immense feeling that I had a much bigger role to play in my life moving forward. I met many people and I was treated differently. One man told me when I was leaving that it was an honor to meet me. I'd only interacted with him infrequently. I got called home to a close relative who was in the end of life. I stayed with him for 14 days and was with him holding his hand during his final hours, until his last breath. I had great comfort in knowing that he was leaving hospice and going to a place full of grandeur and everlasting peace. I told him before he passed and I sensed he was ready and also knew it. I have since embraced and reaffirmed my faith even more as a christian. I read about NDE experiences and STE (Spiritually Transformational Experiences). One is linked to the other in some ways. We share the same thoughts and desires regardless whether there was cross over or not.
