Adaline C NDE

Experience Description

At age twenty-four I encounter a problem with my then boyfriend. I remember walking out of the building and smiling at my ex-boyfriend, when my then boyfriend saw me and grabbed me, dragged me to my aunt's apartment in the first floor and threw my body against the wall. Everybody was watching the show and nobody did a thing. He then continued to drag me to my apartment in the same first floor and started choking me. I recall I was trying to get him off me without success, he then continued choking me until death.

I didn't feel any pain at all; however, I was just struggling to set myself free from this man (the father of my son). I then was in this beautiful glowing place, white glowing background like clouds but illuminating bright clouds, and a man in front of me.

There was a man in a white dressy shirt and white dressy pants, his hair so smooth black and short, beautifully combed to the back (very good-looking man). I was begging him to let me stay, but he insisted in telling me I have to go back. I insisted that I did not want to come back; I wanted to stay in this beautiful place.

This Other Side was unexplainable in words. Too peaceful, too overwhelming, I was overpowered with so much love. I felt enamored, whole and complete, nothing to do with this world. It was my best experience in my whole life. The moment I step in the Other Side I felt the immense love all around me, also I knew I belonged there, however I tried hard, and implored, implored, and implored to stay in this beautiful world, forgetting and/or not caring to leave my two daughters and mother behind. I didn't care for leaving them; however, I knew they were going to be all right. The feeling was so out of this planet, world or dimension. Again, he insisted in telling me that I have to come back. It was like a little battle between this beautiful being and I.

I had to come back to this shameful world. Got up from the floor to the bathtub (it happened in my bathroom) bleeding from my nose and coughing. I asked my then boyfriend what had happened to me: I knew right away that I had died, but I thought I died from a heart attack. Then he proceeded by explaining to me what had happened then I started remembering. This beautiful being (angel, spirit guide) erased my awful memory from that event. I felt too much a shame that I asked not to remember that part of the experience, but no to forget this beautiful journey to Heaven.

From that moment on, I was and I am not afraid of physical death, because I learned there is life after death, our spirits never die. Isn't that amazing to know? For me it is! That you go to Hell after being a bad boy/girl is not a fact it is just a political and religious concept to have you under control. Yes, there is a purgatory but is not Hell with fire and torture. Not that you should do evil in this world, instead help one another: That is why we are here, to assist one another.

Since that experience, I wanted to know more about the unseen, and the unknown. Friends, a handful of whom I told my story, asked me why I wouldn't join them in their religion, perhaps I knew that was not my calling. It was like this feeling of craziness, guilt for not sharing their beliefs, so I refuse to talk about that experience anymore until now that I know what's my calling and I am going towards my goal. Thanks for sharing and GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
