Georgia Possible NDE

Experience Description

I was twelve years old and on a vacation with my family. It was at the height of the summer and very hot. We were visiting my grandparents on my father's side who lived in a village in the Middle East. I was bareheaded out in the fields in blazing sun. My family and other relatives were preparing for a picnic. We were having a barbeque. But I was awful tired and just wanted to rest all the time, and I was feeling so cold. My father told me to stop being so mawkish and behave. He didn't realize how sick I actually was. Finally, one of the adults persuaded my father to send me home. It wasn't that far from home, about half a kilometer, but I was feeling so bad at that time and hardly remember how I got home. There were my uncle and his wife. They wondered why I came home. I told them that I was so very cold and wanted to lie down.

The last thing I remember when I still was awake was that several blankets were put on me because of the shivers I had.

Until this very day, I remember the meeting with the incredibly kind figure who wore a long cloak or mantle. I think it was a male figure, maybe an angel, but without visible wings. I clearly remember the question he asked me, 'Are you ready to cross over?' I knew somehow that there wasn't any return if I did that. I almost felt embarrassed and ungrateful to the friendly figure when I said, 'Mom and dad need me, besides we will go back to Sweden in a few days.' I don't remember if I said that in words or by telepathy. Immediately after that, I woke up. My grandmother was trying to lower the fever by using large rhubarb-looking leaves on my bare body.

Six months after this experience there was buzzing in my ears.

Eight years later, due to my education, I came in touch with the book 'Life After Life' by Raymond Moody. I can guarantee that the book gave me shivers of recognition. Finally, I realized that I had had an NDE. Unfortunately I can't remember any tunnel. Just the light that was out of this world, and the meeting with the figure (or angel).

God, Spiritual and Religion:

Have your religious practices changed since your experience? Yes I fully believe in ONE Maker. Death is given to us fairly, that truth no one can deny. But what's to happen after that no one knows, and it's not meant for us to know either. There's a limit which science is not allowed to cross (luckily, man would only misuse it as with everything else). But the holy Koran actually talks about different dimensions and boundaries that separate the dead from the non-dead. My NDE has made me to a Seeker.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? I'm satisfied with the questions that were in the questionnaire.
