My Second of 3 NDE's Sydney Australià 1973 age 20yrs

[slowsnake]

Cool,middle of summer,sun shining and we are off to a waterhole for a swim and barbecue,few beers,the place was Bents Basin near Wallachia,Sydney.
I run down to the water to be first in,I was with a girlfriend Basia ,her young brother tagged along,his name was Eddie he was 7 years younger than me but we got on great and I worked metal fabricating/welding etc,their parents were from Poland and came after the war.

It's very important to mention Eddie here as he will be mentioned in another thread later, the last time I saw him was July 1993,in purgatory, the night of his funeral,he was killed in a one car crash,very sad,my best mate and my boss dead at 33.same age as Christ!

I am nearly at the water,nearly there and bang,I tripped on a big rock,I didn't see it as I was looking back to the others.
Smashed my big right toe and it was broken,no blood just a big toe that really was a BIG toe,it swelled up quickly so I put my legs in the water,it was cold in the middle of the basin water but a few beers and a chuff fixed that.

Took the other two home,Basia's dad was my boss and showed him my foot,he just said go to the hospital now because its broken,it was Sunday late in the day and he just said I won't see you for a week Bilek,he was Tolek so he called me Bilek,it was a joke between us.
So I went to the local hospital and they said I would have to come back in the morning as there was nobody to do an xray,they said I could drive into Sydney to the RPA hospital,I said I was in too much pain,she said I will give you two pills now and four in an envelope to take home,she said they had codiene and something else to make me sleep,I said I would do that and she said come back at 8am tomorrow and we will get it looked at.

Geez this big toe was massively swollen,my whole foot was black and blue and I had a paid week off work,cool,get into my music,had a new LP by Hawkwind and à new Rodriguez LP.
So I live in a garden flat,just one big room,two thirds bedroom/lounge and the rest was kitchen,outside there was bath/shower and toilet in an outbuilding that was separate from the house but we shared the laundry.
I am telling you this because its 20 foot between me and the utilities,so I put some music on had a couple of rum and cokes and took two more pills which had wore off,the pain was staggeringly intense and throbbed to my pulse,by now it was 11pm and I thought about the other two pills mainly so I could sleep through the pain,that was an understatement, as soon as my head hit the pillow I started sinking into the bed,and was swaying side to side like a hammock.I am wondering what is going on? Then it happened.

I am amazed, I hear a sound like a sheet of paper being ripped in half and i am floating through the door in a tunnel,I really freaked out,I had no body I could see,no arms or legs,I was like the first time a floating set of eyeballs,just pure consciousness but I felt like I had a body,I seemed to be halfway through the door floating in the most wonderous indigo/blue tunnel,I felt so calm and relaxed that I stopped,I could see through the tunnel and could see through the door and walls,they were made of a silver/gold colour shimmering, glistening atoms and were like looking at the stars on a good night except they seemed to be moving together like in unison in harmony,I had a thought that they were moving in harmony.
The walls were just amazing considering it's made of brick,I was thinking on human terms, the tunnel was about 3 feet or 95cm in diameter,I looked down it and it was endless, went right through the shower/utilities building,made of brick too,what I thought were stars were diamonds,emeralds,rubies,the tunnel was studded with precious gems.

Suddenly and I don't know why I had a thought,not mine but a thought I should be worried? worried about what,then I suddenly felt fear, real fear for the first time,I realised where I was and just looked back to the bedroom,I was on the bed and had this big thick silver grey cord coming right out of the top of my head,and I could see that it was disintegrating rapidly and I thought f.…k this I don't want to die,as soon as I had that thought..WHAM..I was slammed back in so hard I thought it must of broken the bed,lol
I opened my eyes and I was back in the bedroom,I tried to get up but I was groggy and unsteady,I got to the kitchen,grabbed the tin of coffee,poured half out and just put tap water in it,stirred with my finger and drunk it down to keep me awake,

I stayed awake all night,I was worried if I fell asleep,in fact it wasn't my thought and it happens a lot,somehow thoughts are being put in my head,like an email, no voices just thoughts but not from me!

Go to hospital and they strapped my toe up,it was a clean fracture,no op.
The doctor said "you want painkillers" its going to be sore for a few days,and I said not like the ones I got last night,they near killed me,he says what were they,I said big pink ones in an envelope,no writing on it,he showed me some pills to look at,he checked the nurses notes on what I got,he said what did she give you I pointed it out,he said and you took six last night,I said yes,he said lucky you are still alive,I said why,he said mate you were given a barbiturate, a strong and deadly medication,he said what you had could kill a child,you are lucky!

Kind Regards Billy.

PS..all the above is absolutely true,a non embellished NDE.
