Faleysiya C Probable NDE

Experience Description

I left my classes, at that time I was studying at the university, and my job was in the evening; when I got off the bus, I had to walk a few blocks to my house and that's when a city bus ran over me.

During my NDE, I was walking behind an old man with a hood who was carrying a lantern in his hand; we entered a dark tunnel, where hands came out from the sides of the tunnel, moaning and trying to touch me; the floor was slimy. Upon leaving the tunnel, the old man disappeared, and I was floating in a white light, similar to a cloudy day and in the background, there were the mountains of China, wrapped a little in mist (in my room I had a painting with Chinese mountains), but very far from me. My feeling was one of total anguish because I was completely alone and there was nowhere to go, I didn't understand what was happening.

When I regained consciousness after the accident, I had no memory of what had happened and I got out of bed, I was alone, and I fell to the floor; I felt like my femur was sliding onto itself and was not holding me, then my mother told me that my leg was broken because they had run over me. Later, I began to feel dizzy while lying down, and they prescribed me medications and the dizziness stopped; apparently it happened every time I would think of the accident, which I could never remember until today; I think I blocked it.

I didn't know anyone who claimed to know me, not even my 2-year-old daughter. I was never treated for those memory issues, nor did I mention them; over time I learned to know those people and I was identifying with this life. I only wanted to return to God after the accident, a profound longing led me to learn about Hare Krishna, gnosis, the Catholic charismatics, shamanism, the cyclopean method of internal activation of the pineal gland, yoga, among others. I wanted to be a yoga instructor and I didn't see the meaning of what I was studying at the university, but I didn't dare and I continued with the life I had before the accident, to this day; I never made a turn.
