Aharon N NDE

Experience Description

On 5th May 1999, at my work in the University of Tel-Aviv, I had a severe heart attack. I was taken to the clinic at work. I was lucky to have a doctor there. She gave me aspirins and oxygen by pressure and called an ambulance. The ambulance was late. I was losing consciousness. I was told that the ambulance had arrived. The doctor and medics started life saving procedures. Before I completely lost my consciousness, I prayed to God: 'Oh God! I am so close to you, then take me to you.' I said twice this sentence; and I was out!!

I was in a transparent, luminescent balloon of bliss, floating inside like a baby in a mother's womb. However, I saw myself what I was. I experienced a wonderful feeling of bodilessness, no burden of weight, no measure of time, distance and space. In that transcendent balloon, I was fully conscious of my being and could feel what's beyond this transparent balloon. What I saw and felt is beyond my expression. During this state, I again pleaded God: 'I am so near you, please take me to you!' After this plea, all of a sudden, images of my wife and children started coming to me. I can't explain what my thoughts were, when I saw them. I only know that I slipped from this luminescent balloon, like a baby slipped from a mother's womb to take birth.

I suddenly found the doctor and a medic waking me up. They said, 'Aharon, we saved you.'
