Experience Description

I lived in Panama. I was 5 years old and went swimming in a neighbor's pool. My neighbor told me to leave and she went back into the house. Later, I came back to the pool by myself. I slipped and fell into the water.

I remember seeing my body in the water. I later realized after having my second son, that I had an out of body experience because I saw my body floating in the water while I also went to the window of the neighbor to look in for help. I could see people standing over me after being resuscitate by paramedics.

While this was happening, my soul traveled on a dark path with a long-haired little girl holding my hand as we walked up a dark hill. There were others ahead of us, walking two by two. We walked until we hit a bright light that was so bright that I could only see a gate. To the right of the gate was Jesus extending his hands to me wearing a white long robe. I couldn't see his face, but just a bright light. I felt loved by him. I knew I wasn't in danger and Jesus touched my head. Jesus turned me around for the little girl to walk me back down the dark path. Of course, I did not know this was Jesus until years later.

I was too young to understand how this would come over and over replaying in my mind through the years until it came to me after my second son's birth. His birth made me feel disassociation of my body for feeling like I did not belong here. I questioned why was I feeling this way. After going back and discussing the drowning and all of the memories around it, did I realize what actually happened to me. I was put back in school in special ed classes because I would not talk and my parents did not understand why. There were never any conversations around my drowning through the years.

At age 6, I was severely hurt from a bike accident. I had to have surgery due to crushing my pelvis bone. I had incontinence issues and not sure if this was all related to the bike accident or just feeling disassociation of my body. I could remember being in a classroom and seeing myself sitting at my desk because I had an out of body projection. Someone would talk to me and I would be traveling somewhere else and would return feeling disoriented. This has happened a lot through the years and felt like I never belonged here.

My relationship with the Lord has always been there, but had to struggle through finding my purpose on earth. My out of body experience allowed me to use a gift that God gave me to protect myself, but I would often become frightened of it and would ignore what these signs would be telling me. It is just recently in the past 6 years since acknowledging my gifts of being able to trust these feelings and visions because they are signs of having capability of seeing the third dimension and feeling heaven as home.

I have never been frightened of death and recently told my kids that we don't die, but we pass over to everlasting life. It is almost a longing of and desire for me to be seeing God again. I decided at this time of life, it is only for me to seek the Lord and nothing about the earth is no longer desirable for me. I have reached a journey of understanding my own salvation and how seeing Jesus at such a young age has made me never question my eternal life and in fact, it is more real than here on earth.

There has been many other unique events during my near death experience for encountering evil while God's presence turned it into good. My oldest sister told me that Jesus was praying over her while she was sleeping to wake up to him. She died early in life at age 25 years old and a tragic situation that was a curse placed on my mother by a witch working with black magic on cards. It was when I was 20 years old when my sister was tragically killed that my mother thought was going to be me. I believe now that Jesus knew of many events in my life that he has a strong hold on me and recently see of his direction over me with my two sons for doing something specific for him now. God understand what path we will travel and gives us free will to choose. If we choose him along the way while surrendering ourselves completely to him do we really understand the journey. I underestimated the gift of intuition that he provided to me of an understanding of evil and good in people. I can see in a person's souls through their eyes for knowing what path they have chosen. It is a definite light that radiates from a person's soul which only few can see.
