To describe the movement I would say to imagine thin satin fabric in a strong breeze—like how the surface of a flag changes in wind. Constant slightly chaotic fluid waves, and not flapping. Also, it was at least three dimensional. It wasn’t just a surface or image. It could have been a hologram.

Kid Cudi (a rapper) was with me. I saw our reflection in a big mirror that was in front of me and thought we looked really, really good!! I couldn't believe how good we looked!

James M NDE 3/7/2020. NDE 8973. The next part is hard to describe, but I'll do my best to convey what I experienced. The jolt, I instantly knew, was the touch of God.

For some reason, I associate the word 'purple' with this, but have no idea why. NDE due to heart attack. Experience share about 3 ½ months after it occurred. 4762. Perry D Probable NDE 3/3/2020.

It must have been there a long time, because mineral deposits encased it almost up to the elbows.
