MY NDE and how it has shaped me...

[RedLioness11]

Hello,

My NDE happened over 30 years ago and is still vivid in my minds eye.

After a long painful illness, and a coma...my body gave in.

I awoke in the dark and felt frightened...looking around I saw a tiny pinprick of light and focused on it. I began to move toward it, faster and faster. The closer I got the more comforted and loved I felt. As the darkness around me lightened, I could "see" myself and realized I was moving feet first toward the light.

Then I was walking through a crowd of people, most I did not know...but as I looked at them I saw the connection. How I was connected to them, in a flash I experienced their memories first person.

I was then shown my life choices through others perceptions of it...again first hand, like I lived it, with all their physical senses. I was comforted and forgiven the hurts I had caused, and the celebration of my selfless giving moments was amazing!

I saw prayer form as energy and shoot up...like a reverse beam of sunlight through a cloud. (closest I have been able to describe it with clumsy human words)

One thing that was emphasized.... was that fear is true evil!! Fear keeps us from trying new things and causes us to back away from our journey.

I was finally given a choice...stay or go back. I wanted to stay...I have never felt such love and acceptance here on earth. But I was shown how my physical death would affect my family. I could not choose to stay while causing them such spiritual pain... In a blink I was back and awake...shocking the medical staff that was wheeling me into a last ditch experimental surgery.

I just skimmed the main points...I felt like I was there for weeks...

I no longer identify with any religion...but have no doubt there is a higher power and an afterlife. I believe we ARE beings of self-aware energy, given a choice on who we wish to be.

Thanks for sharing your story, RedLioness11. There are many similarities to my NDE as well as others I've read about. I feel it's important that it's not the specifics of what happens during a NDE, but what we've learned from the experience, as your last line sums it up very well.
Thanks again, and welcome to the forum...!
Namaste.

Thanks for sharing.

Your NDE was a very enriching experience especially where you expereinced other people's feelings and lives first hand. You have changed your path and understanding of life as a result. Spread the good news further.

Thank you! Funny as I was reading threads, your comments stuck out and warmed me. I thought... what a good soul!

What a beautiful NDE experience!
Living other people´s experiences seems to happen a lot. It is also a way of sharing.
What you say about fear is very interesting, because in a way fear is the opposite of love, and keeps us away from experiencing, from giving, from sharing, in a few words from living and growing.

I agree dinah...fear causes so much destruction...personally and globally. I am grateful to have been shown how living with fear and allowing it to control you you is a choice.

Sending you a warm hug dinah!...i feel that you are a special loving soul.

Fear is food for the ego.

Namaste.

Hello,
I like reading about others NDE experiences,but can we have the bits that "you skimmed" please,they may be of help to others trying to understand their own life problems,I go into as much detail as I can hoping others reading may just have a moment of "clarity" and it may bring back memories they may have overlooked,so can you give us the variorum version please.

Kind Regards Billy
