Cabell M NDE

Experience Description

The experience was not of the mind but what I believe to be of the soul and spirit. There was a huge light and my soul was at a learning point, our lives spent here in body, and soul being present in them, is to learn as much as we can. When we are older and pass from this life, I was shown that a new life to go on learning doesn't stop. For example, like a car we make newer and better models, just like our souls. As time goes on and our soul leaves our bodies at the time of death we go on to another dimension in time and learn even more without recollection of what was previous or in the future, but our souls remain always everlasting. I hope this makes some sense to you because it did to me. Thanks for allowing me to enlighten you on what had happen to me. Maybe you can make more sense of this than I.
