Greg NDE

The first few times I died and went through the void/curtain/wall that divides mortals with heaven- I saw a light and an old friend. All I was told, was that it was not my time. It was as if I was in a room w/no lights, sounds or feelings and all of a sudden, a white light and a shadow appeared that told me that it was not my time. This happened several times, maybe 5 times.

The last time it happened I felt awake on the operating room table- I could hear the nurse and the doctor, the heart machine. I heard a female voice say we're losing him. Then I felt as if my soul had been grabbed and pulled upwards to the ceiling. I was floating, I tried to look back- but that is not allowed. The sounds of the OR slowly faded- as if someone was turning down the volume control, slowly. I felt scared, but had a strange feeling of comfort or being told to be calm. I went through a dark tunnel where the light slowly became brighter. Then a shadow appeared- an old friend told me that it was not my time and then things went black/gone/etc.

I somehow figured out that the shadow was a friend who died 5 years earlier. I am glad to see that he made it to heaven, he deserved it.
