Denise B NDE

Experience Description

I traveled through space at great speed, once I had lost the fear of going with it. I saw a light and I went into it. It was wondrous light that engulfed everything; there was total knowledge and love. I saw my life from my addiction point of view flash before my eyes, repeated behaviors etc. I went back and saw myself in the womb.

I was then told to 'remember' I was then flicked through future decisions and happenings. I was then given a chance to view the universe's and given the opportunity to be one with it and have the knowledge of the truth. This went into stuff like time is simultaneous, everything happens at the same time, there is no then and future. The universe is not just one but infinite, wondrous and continuing to evolve. We are just one dimension; there are many planes if you like. Just as if ants are not aware of us, we are not aware of higher, evolved states of being. The greatest part was the full feeling and knowledge that in the end all there is, is love. We become one with everything and everything becomes one with us. We are here to experience this life to the fullest and must be in the NOW to do that; get rid of distractions, being addictions, destructive behaviors etc. We are here to be our best selves, which includes being what we can for others.

I no longer fear, in comparison I look forward to death. I did not want to come back, however I had two young children that I could not leave with my husband and I would have killed my unborn child.

I have never written this down before, I suppose I should, I hope that this gives you an idea.

This all happened during childbirth. I was sucking on the gas continuously overnight unsupervised, with the laughing stuff turned up to maximum. I had some visions at this time, but the last time I did it I went out -- the nurse looked at me with fear and asked me if I was alright, I knew I had to answer correctly -- the answer was no!!!! They lost my baby's heartbeat during the last two of these episodes; the last one was when I had my experience.
