Experience Description I was upstairs, and my brother pushed me from the second story of our house. The straight staircase turned 90 degrees to the main floor. I tumbled down and landed on my neck with my body on top. My mother heard the commotion and ran to the stairs. When she picked me up, I realized I couldn’t breathe. I gasped as hard as I could, but no air entered my lungs. I didn’t panic; instead, I surrendered to the energy’s pull. I started turning blue, and it was my mother who panicked. She picked me up and ran for the car, leaving my 7-year-old brother alone. I died as she walked out the door, but I could still see what was happening from above. She plopped my lifeless body on the backseat and ran to the other side. My mother drove to the military hospital (I’m an army brat) a few minutes away. As she pulled me out of the car, I followed her, uncertain what was happening. As she ran into the hospital, she screamed for help. I have never forgotten the following. She called me by my first name and stated I had fallen. The emergency room doctor was an elderly man; tall, with short white hair and boasted a slight hunch at shoulder height; he was wearing civilian clothing. The walls were the typical army-green color but a pastel shade. My mother placed me on the bed and left to call my father. When he arrived, she drove back home to my brother. In the room, a big light above my body looked like a flying saucer. There was a chair in the corner with a duffle bag under it. On the wall next to the chair was a white metal, glass cabinet with medication in it. To my right was a metal desk with a drawer on the right side. The doctor was to my left and started CPR in vain. When my father arrived, he urged the doctor to use the defibrillator because I suffered from tachycardia. The doctor grabbed the defibrillator from another storage unit at the foot of the bed and started the machine. Curious, I dropped down to investigate what this machine was. I was floating approximately three feet above my body when the doctor shocked my heart. At that moment, a tunnel formed above the doctor’s head. The tunnel absorbed me. I clearly remember that there was a sense of urgency to pass through it and go to the light. I surrendered to its pull when I realized breathing wasn’t necessary. Once into the light, it turned to darkness. But, the darkness felt like light; this doesn’t make sense, but I have no other word to describe it. The sensation was familiar and reassuring. Passing through the tunnel felt normal. So I started enjoying the sensation of weightlessness and absorbed the knowledge. The experience was like the universe was feeding me the information I needed to live my current life. When I saw the sand, I knew I was no longer in Ontario. In an instant, the feeling was loving and warm; I knew where I was: home. I had another NDE when I was 33 years old. I was already in the emergency room for arrhythmic defibrillation. When I looked at the monitor before dying, my heartbeat spiked at 244 bpm. I turned and looked at the doctor, who was also staring at the monitor. My heart stopped. I again slipped out of my body, but I didn’t hover; I immediately joined the thought-form, for lack of a better word. Background Information: Gender: Female Date NDE Occurred: 1973 and 2003 NDE Elements: At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event? No. Accident Clinical death (cessation of breathing or heart function) How do you consider the content of your experience? Entirely pleasant Did you feel separated from your body? No I clearly left my body and existed outside it How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness? More consciousness and alertness than normal. It was like knowing everything in and about the universe all at once. Everything was instantaneous. I didn't even have time to form complete sentences that I knew the answer. At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness? When I realized I was in Egypt. Were your thoughts speeded up? Incredibly fast Did time seem to speed up or slow down? Everything seemed to be happening at once; or time stopped or lost all meaning. It was like time didn't exist, and everything was one endless experience. If I thought of something or had a question, it occurred or was answered instantaneously. Were your senses More vivid than usual? Incredibly more vivid Please compare your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. My vision before dying was normal. Nothing stood out. During my NDEs, I could see colors so vividly that for a fraction of a moment, I thought I might have been partially blind when I was alive. Everything was accentuated, and specific details stood out more, seemingly to catch my attention. It was as though I could feel colors. The lapis lazuli blue was bluer. Please compare your hearing during the experience to your everyday hearing that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. The difference in my hearing wasn't as drastic as in my eyes. I couldn't hear louder, but I could hear more clearly. My inverted ear canals make high-pitched sounds that hurt my ears and block the base. During the NDE, it was more equalized, which was more enjoyable. Did you seem to be aware of things going on elsewhere? Yes, and the facts have been checked out Did you pass into or through a tunnel? Yes After a moment, one formed, and I was drawn to it. Did you see any beings in your experience? I actually saw them Did you encounter or become aware of any deceased (or alive) beings? Yes I met the family and friends I lived with during my previous lives. They were the same people in both past lives but had different names. This group contained my sister, brother, a Male friend, my beloved, another Male friend, my Female cousin, and a Female friend. Did you see, or feel surrounded by, a brilliant light? A light clearly of mystical or other-worldly origin Did you see an unearthly light? Yes The light was soothing and everywhere yet simultaneously dark—not black like the absence of light but rather the totality of colors. Did you seem to enter some other, unearthly world? No What emotions did you feel during the experience? Love was the primary emotion, but I could feel protected and embraced. I used to refer to the feeling as a spiritual hug filled with plenitude and joy. Did you have a feeling of peace or pleasantness? Incredible peace or pleasantness Did you have a feeling of joy? Incredible joy Did you feel a sense of harmony or unity with the universe? I felt united or one with the world Did you suddenly seem to understand everything? Everything about the universe. I understood how the universe worked along with everything that made it up. I knew where I had been and where I needed to go next. It was like playing chess, knowing all possible moves my adversary thought of. However, the sensation wasn't overwhelming. Did scenes from your past come back to you? No Did scenes from the future come to you? Scenes from my personal future Yes, I explained them in the NDE description. I still have them to this day. On rare occasions, the voice shows me images from my group of friends and family, which I intervene when told to. The rule is, if I'm shown the same future, without changes, three times, I tell the person to watch out or be careful. I won't reveal what I see. Did you come to a border or point of no return? I came to a barrier that I was not permitted to cross; or was sent back against my will. After a lengthy exploration, I was told to return to the physical world because I had to reunite with my family and friends. I remember not wanting to go, stating I had made a wrong decision. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I felt pulled back everytime the doctor shocked my heart. God, Spiritual and Religion: What was your religion prior to your experience? Unaffiliated- Atheist Have your religious practices changed since your experience? Yes I devote time daily to mediation, research, writing, and connecting with divine love. What is your religion now? Other faiths- New age I consider myself as a spiritual person who believes in science. Did your experience include features consistent with your earthly beliefs? Content that was entirely not consistent with the beliefs you had at the time of your experience. My father was native, so I was raised as an atheist to avoid discrimination. My experience didn't align with my thoughts whatsoever, even during the second NDE. Did you have a change in your values and beliefs because of your experience? Yes I believed in serving myself before considering anyone else. Now, it's the opposite. I serve others before I consider serving myself if, and only if, my physical, mental, and spiritual life are not in danger. Did you seem to encounter a mystical being or presence, or hear an unidentifiable voice? I encountered a definite being, or a voice clearly of mystical or unearthly origin. The voice was soothing, soft, and reassuring; it didn't have a pitch, tone, or volume. Although the communication was telepathic, somehow, I could hear it talk at a constant speed. Did you see deceased or religious spirits? I actually saw them Did you encounter or become aware of any beings who previously lived on earth who are described by name in religions (for example: Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, etc.)? No During your experience, did you gain information about premortal existence? Yes While away from the hospital room, I journeyed to ancient Egypt during Queen Hatshepsut’s reign in 1455 BC. My group of friends and family were divided because of my spiritual beliefs. I insisted there was only one god or creative energy. My life was on the line, so we split up and ran in different directions. The knowledge then conveyed my life’s purpose was to reunite my group. Our home was an island, and I could see it as clear as day. When I drew the Nile, I was so precise that I was accurate to the km. When Google uploaded the Earth application, I scanned the entire Nile River to find my home, Amla, next to the Island of Ardwan. During that lifecycle, I saved my friend’s life by having him released from prison. This short visit to the knowledge realm flooded me with another past life. It was during the Norman conquest in 1066 England. When I returned to consciousness, the doctor told me my heart had stopped for less than a minute. Although both deaths lasted different times, the timelapse seemed the same length. I know this will sound unreal, but my life in England was equally fascinating. The people in that era were the same friends and family I knew in 1455 BC, except one was missing. My name was Anselm, and my friend Gundulf. In the vision during my death, I knew I had buried him and remembered where. This fact was verified a few years ago when researchers released the results of a scan and excavation of Rochester Cathedral’s chapter house in 2019. https://www.rochestercathedral.org/research/chapterhouse I have contacted the archeologists regarding other facts to explain what I know. The work is still in progress, but my knowledge aligns with current discoveries. For so long, I thought I was crazy and rarely spoke about my NDEs. But recently, I’ve been expanding my visions via profound meditations, clogging my mind. In late 2022, I decided to write everything down. Initially, it was in bullet point form. However, the details were so overwhelming that I wrote everything I remembered and am still discovering to empty my mind. I’ve written the equivalent of three 350-page novels (unpublished) of my accounts. I have since reunited with my friends and family from ancient Egypt. Strangely enough, three out of nine people also have memories of our past lives. Their recollections aren’t as exhaustive as mine, but in all fairness, they have not experienced an NDE. My closest friend, who I’ve called the other me since childhood, and I have a unique connection. I don’t have the words to describe it, but he feels like an appendage; I constantly feel him. I know when he’s happy, sad, angry, etc. It’s so profound that when the knowledge tells me, I text to warn him or advise him. I firmly believe my NDEs are responsible for the immense love I have for this group of people. In 2002, I met my ancient Egyptian sister. She flew to Canada to visit her aunt, my business partner’s wife. When I walked in, she ran to me screaming, “Finally, I get to hug my sister.” I had never met her because she lived in France. Our age difference didn’t matter either; she was 16, and I was 30. The one thing that struck me the most during my NDEs was love. The experience feels like nothing I can describe. It’s as though everything is one, eternally indivisible. I’ve come to understand and accept that remembering our loving nature is forgotten at birth. The thought that keeps me sane is recognizing what awaits me beyond my physical body. During your experience, did you gain information about universal connection or oneness? Yes After entering the tunnel and arriving in the light, I felt we were all connected and that what affected one impacted others directly or indirectly. The sensation of knowing that everything was indeed united was comforting. The sense of division and emptiness within myself disappeared. During your experience, did you gain information about the existence of God? Yes The voice told me there was no such thing as a human or human-like god. The creator was a force that kept creating. Then I saw the process in action for a brief moment. Space-time was continuous until it coiled back into itself, repeating the process over and over. It felt like a wave but without power. Concerning our Earthly lives other than Religion: During your experience, did you gain special knowledge or information about your purpose? Yes I love unconditionally by reminding people we are one. This belief includes a specific purpose in my life: to reunite and forgive my thought in separation or division is possible. During your experience, did you gain information about the meaning of life? Yes I discovered that our purpose was to remember and experience unconditional love by reminding one another that we are not divided by space or time. I also discovered my life's purpose. During your experience, did you gain information about an afterlife? Yes The revelation was that we lived, live, and can choose to live again. During my first death, I was told that life in this state was referred to as the continuation. We can choose a new body or remain in the knowledge. I knew it was true because I witnessed myself living another life that happened long before this one. Did you gain information about how to live our lives? No During your experience, did you gain information about life's difficulties, challenges and hardships? No During your experience, did you gain information about love? Yes I saw adversity from specific images, but perceptions could be changed if I loved without any condition. When our group was divided, sadness overwhelmed me, but it was counter-balanced with an immense loving sensation that we were one, and regardless of when or where we were, love united us. If I believed in it, everything was possible. What life changes occurred in your life after your experience? Large changes in my life I don't remember much about my life before my first NDE, but I do about the second one. I was spiritual at 33 but still didn't really believe in god. After NDE2, that changed drastically. I made changes that appeared irrational to most people, but they were common sense to me. It was as though the NDE2 was a reminder that my purpose had been on the back burner, and I needed to get moving. From that moment on, a sense of urgency governed my everyday life; now that I reached and concluded my life's purpose, I feel one with our creator. Have your relationships changed specifically because of your experience? They are much more profound. Yes After the NDE: Was the experience difficult to express in words? Yes I can't explain the experience using sensory perception or have the words to describe the absence of existence. I can still return to the realm of knowledge without my body during deep meditation, but the stars must align for this to happen; it's not an easy feat. Once out of my body, everything is knowledge vibrating at different frequencies. I must change my vibration to access certain parts of the knowledge. This, too, is complicated and doesn't occur often. There is a huge difference between knowledge and experience, so you just know. It's not debatable or questionable; it's simply the absolute truth. To quote the Matix 'You know it balls to bones.' How accurately do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred around the time of the experience? I remember the experience more accurately than other life events that occurred around the time of the experience My experience has remained more accurate than my other life events because I've never stopped thinking about it. My father would occasionally quiz me to see if my experiences changed. They never did because they are as real and alive as the day they happened. Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Yes Second sight and visions of past lives. I fully remember three past lives and bits and pieces of nine with an accuracy (proven facts) of about 60 to 70%. I don't know the term for feeling others, but I constantly perceive my nine friends and family group members. Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you? The part that has changed my experience the most is that love now fills the void I used to have. Have you ever shared this experience with others? Yes I've shared this story with the nine people involved and a few close friends. Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? No What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was definitely real I sought out facts to prove to myself I hadn't hallucinated what I had learned during the NDE. I still do to this day. When meditation yields visions, I immediately write them down and research them. What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real With the invention of the internet, it became easier to find facts about historical events, confirming the knowledge I received during my NDEs. At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? Yes Absolutely. First, I found all nine people of my original group. Secondly, our lives closely reflect our medieval lives. For example, in our late forties and early fifties, I lived on the south side of the English Channel, and he was in England on the north side. I currently live on the south side of the St-Laurence River, and he lives on the north side. Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? I'm insatiably curious, and I would like to know if the NDEs that occur during childhood are more likely to yield past life experiences. Thank you for this questionnaire. ijssqh8_nde
