Daphne B NDE

Experience Description

I was admitted to the hospital with bilateral pneumonia and acute kidney failure. I was in an isolated room that was not monitored in the emergency department. I was waiting for a bed on the floor. The call bell did not work. I was on 100% oxygen with a respiratory rate of 28-35 and HR of 125-145 BPM. I had been to a variety of tests during the day and when I returned I was not monitored for the night. I started to have hypoxic hallucinations when I was sleeping and I would wake up and watch bunnies chasing chipmunks all over the room. I tried calling the nurse to get help but again, the call bell wouldn't work. I would drift off back to sleep and leave my body. I would be standing beside the stretcher. I knew that I was very close to death when I came back into my body and I attempted to get the nurse again but couldn't.

I saw the white tunnel and went through it very quickly. I exited into white light and saw a variety of Beings off to the left-hand side. I told them I was not going to stop, that I was going further on. I turned to my right and found myself in utter blackness. I was very calm and remarked to myself, 'I guess I am dead.' I thought that I should tell someone that I was dead and headed to the nurses station to ask them to look in room 16. I saw everyone who was on duty and told them. Then I realized that that was silly because I wasn't in a body. I was a light orb. Upon realizing this, I returned to the Void. I then thought about who I should tell and I thought of my Mother who was wintering in Harlingen, Texas. As soon as I thought this, I saw a window appear before me with a man and woman sleeping on a bed. I entered the window and stared down at them. There was no emotion and I didn't feel any attachment to them. I said to the woman, ' Well, I just thought that I should tell you that I have died and I will be going on.' Then I went back through the window into the Void.

Back in the Void I wondered what to do next. I wanted to make sure that this really was the void. I went to the left and then to the right. Then I went up farther, but everywhere I went I was just there. There was no way to reference where I was. I could only see darkness in 360 degrees. As I looked into the darkness I had a feeling that I was glowing but I couldn't be sure. As I looked into the blackness, I would catch glimpses of a blue grid but the blue was so dark that it seemed to blend in with the blackness. I thought of all the places I could go and all the things I could do. As I thought, they appeared before me in little windows or television screens that were almost holographic. The images moved and had life to them.

I started to think of everything I knew about the void and that it was all things potentially, but nothing materially. As I thought that the view exploded around me with little windows in 360 degrees into infinity. I was overwhelmed, so I thought that I would not make a decision right then but wait here until I could make a choice.

I then started to wonder who I was. Was I secondary consciousness (self) or my primary consciousness (my Higher Self). As I asked a question, I heard a voice by my right side. This was roughly where my right ear would be if I had a body. It said, 'Who do you want to be?'

I stepped forward and said immediately. 'I will always be a student of Ramtha the Enlightened One.' As I said that, I noticed that the windows decreased in number from all around me.

I wondered if anyone had found my body and if I was ready to move on to another place. I looked back down to my body. As I did so, I saw my friends and family having to deal with my house and property; and the stress of doing this on them. I knew that I had responsibilities to go back and deal with things that were unfinished. I didn't want to go back but I took a big sigh and said, 'Okay I will go back.' I woke up in my body. I was in rough shape and my condition had worsened considerably. But this time, the call-bell worked and I was able to get the nurse to come. I ended up being transferred to the intensive care unit. I stayed there for 10 days on a breathing machine.

They found my experiences fascinating and asked questions that caused me to analyze the experience differently. They helped me clarify things that I hadn't consciously thought about.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? Yes It has been an interest since I read Raymond Moody's work as a teenager.

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was definitely real. I tested the validity of the experience while I was in it and it was confirmed by my Mother who said that I had appeared to her in a dream and told her I had died.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? Uncertain Through the Ramtha School of Enlightenment I have had experiences of the void before but not with this kind of clarity and vividness.

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? I did wonder if I should heal myself while I was in the void. I couldn't explain it to the doctors so I didn't choose to.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? You could ask more questions about previous knowledge of other realities, previous OBE experiences and practices such as meditation.
