I shall try and describe the most moving experience in all my life, although words are limited or do not exist in such a case and are thus very difficult to select.What happened on April 12, 2008, I don't know. Between 8:00 pm and midnight, I don't remember anything. I just 'woke up' around midnight, my son stood in front of me, he told me that I fell in the stairs, this scared him a lot. I kept repeating to him that I did not fall because I had no memory of it. It seems that I blacked out in the stairs. My son helped me to go to bed, my ear bled but I did not pay attention to it, I fell asleep.I am going to share my experience, but on some points it differs from the accounts I happened to read before, like those reported by doctors such as Dr Moody.It was nighttime, I still slept, while sleeping I opened my eyes. My first thought was, 'What's going on?'Indeed, I was surprised! There was this strange 'whirlpool' facing me, I saw it spinning, but it produced no wind, no noise. It was greater than the walls of my - rather large - bedroom, where I was lying, alone. A weird whirlpool, in all NDE accounts I had heard about a tunnel, I thought it was just a way to shift dimension, to penetrate in what no one really knows yet, the death tunnel, but all are to know it someday. This is the fate of all humans, of all living beings on Earth.However, what I felt was different from all I thought I understood until then, it was actual reality, well, the one I am living in now was fading out. Everything disappeared, engulfed in this weird whirlpool, which was not doing anything else than making this reality disappear and replacing it by another one. Yet, I did not see anything amidst this dark whirlpool, just part of my bedroom walls showed. This did take place in the bedroom; it did not come from the outside, nothing scary, no negative sensation, on the contrary!It was the first phase, the most important one, others describe it as a tunnel, but it isn't what I saw or what I felt. I rather felt that this reality was going or fading away to be replaced by another one that I KNEW WELL (?) but which I did not see yet.This is the most incredible experience, although there were no angels for me, any dead acquaintance to welcome me with a great smile, or see my life review. There was only the end of something and the beginning of something else. I knew this was much more beautiful than anything I had ever experienced on earth. I did not perfectly recall, although now I forgot all I am writing about.A voice began to talk to me very clearly in my head. It was my voice but it was not me, not on this consciousness plane anyway, an enigma! Maybe as I write this, I am giving arguments to those who don't believe it, but I don't care at all, they'll also know the truth someday, just like the rest of us.This voice told me: 'Time has come to go.'Never was the word death communicated, but I knew this was what she was talking about.During my NDE, my view field was not where it was supposed to be, it was much lower, shifted about one meter away from my position in my bed, moreover I fell asleep on my belly and I know I was still in this position when I 'woke up', so I should not have been able to see behind me. Yet, I saw my cat at the foot of my bed; strangely, she looked at the center of the room and was not scared at all. Placed as I was, I should not have seen anything else than the wardrobe doors in front of my face. I did not feel any pain, on the contrary.The voice talked to me again.No judgment, no blame, soothing sweetness, extraordinary tenderness, nothing else. I had the choice to 'go' or to stay, as incredible as it seems, all depended upon my choice, she guided and helped me, that's all! I knew this too, as if I were on another plane of consciousness.'You did not complete what you had to do yet (this was no blame).'I knew it. I just answered, 'I did not know it would be so hard.'Then the voice told me, 'Think to A. (my husband) and to the children.'I wanted to go to the voice. It was too hard for me and life was far from being the paradise I had wished. There were too few joys for so much disappointment. Despite all the love I felt for my husband and my children, I did not want to go back. I really longed to join this 'stranger' who had made herself known to me, I wanted to enter this whirlpool, I know where it was to lead me.Even if I forgot it all again, I knew everything then. I recalled I knew all about the life that expected me even before I was born, I must even say that when she talked about my mission, I knew I had myself decided about my life and I knew the most minute details of it. The voice knew my worries for Earth, men, their madness, their foolishness too, not seeing further than the end of their nose, despite all alert signs that Earth is sending now.The voice said, 'You shall be helped.'This comforted me, but it wasn't enough.She said, 'Truth shall spread, men shall wake up.'No, I still did not want.She insisted, 'Planet Earth shall be saved.'Then I just foolishly began to say the 'Our Father', our father for all and not just Jesus' one, which remains an enigma for me, mainly since I read some best sellers.I never said yes or no and yet - I am still here!I felt this incredible, marvelous, inner and outer love, which knew almost all those who experienced this, a love that almost any human cannot experience under normal circumstances!Then everything stopped. I had dread, vomiting, awful headaches, unable to stand upright for longer than two minutes, ambulances, emergency room, etc.
