Experience Description

AWAKENED IN THE DARKNESS – 1952

(I wanted to see the other side of life in terms I could relate for others.) I hadn’t remembered much about the two weeks of special prayer conversations and what I had asked for just 2 years before. A part of that special time did enter my mind at 12 years old when I knelt at the altar to be baptized just a couple of weeks before this eventful day.

Mother took me to a dentist to have three wisdom teeth extracted. I was put to sleep for the procedure ‘and something, so it seemed, went wrong’. Later, I would be told that my heart might have stopped and I was to stay in bed for a few days. God used this out-of-body time in death experience #1 to give some of the answers to requests I made during those very special prayer conversations.

The consciousness of my spirit, and of my soul, left my body in the dentist chair, not awakening until my soul had floated into the darkness above the ceiling. In this plan of God, vibration from what I later understood was a long pulley belt, awakened ‘me’ just as if awakening in our physical body. I seemed to be alone and with my own thoughts to where I was in the darkness.

Slowly moving along the vibrating belt made me feel that I was moving at a high rate of speed, going through outer space. There were 3 spherical lights ahead of me that I thought to be planets with what looked to be rivers and tributaries. It seems that each time a tooth was extracted, it affected which light I was headed for. After glancing away from the third light, I found that I had floated to the roof of the building and sunlight.

TOMMY WAS STILL GROWING IN THE AFTER-LIFE

The few moments I was on the roof were mostly very happy. On the roofs arch behind me was Tommy, a childhood friend who had died five years before, after a fall from a bridge railing and onto rocks below. He still looked one year younger than me, growing at the same rate that I had. Tommy liked high places and that was a factor in his death. He told me the name of the child that had been with him and the cause of death that I had not heard. He said the people that he stayed with now let him play on roofs any time he wanted.

Even with the strangeness that I was noticing, I was rationalizing it and did not grasp the idea that both Tommy and I were ‘on the other side’ from the physical life. I bounced up and down a couple of times, and it seemed I could float right off the edge of the roof if I wanted to and not fall.

Mother had asked Grandma to come with us, but she said her work was never done and she would stay home. I had not seen much work to be done and was silently curious as to what else she could find to do. With this newly found ability, I wondered what it would be like to float to my home six miles away and surprise Grandma while she worked.

SPIRIT (RE) JOINS SOUL IN FLIGHT

((I had heard the expression of “Get control over your soul.” I thought I couldn’t tame it if I couldn’t define literally just what the ‘soul’ was, so the next paragraph is the first with detail in these experiences. Here, basically is a yearning soul and its discerning spirit:))

As if the mind of my spirit was in deep thought, I watched from my position in the spirit on the rooftop and saw my adventurous (detached) soul with its hearts desire at the edge of the roof, testing to see if it was possible to float off without falling. My soul was so wanting with the thought that when I, in my position in the spirit, saw that my soul didn’t fall to the ground, ‘I’ in my spirit believed and (in less than a second) joined my soul, and went soaring toward home.

I surfed like the wind around trees and over walls. Each time I slowed down, I would ‘believe’ it was time to put my foot to the ground to shove off again. The thought, even before putting the foot down, was all it took to set me sailing again, speeding toward home just a few miles away.

For several seconds I was in the living room at home. I watched Grandma move things on a table, then take a seat and look out the window. Next, I heard Tommy saying that if I went too far, I would not be able to get back. I started to ‘fly back the way I came’ just as a perturbed Tommy said, “Get back here now!”

With that, I ‘believed’ myself instantly back on the roof with Tommy. He then suggested ‘going back in’. Not realizing that I had stepped across the line of death, I thought he meant both of us should duck back into the building.

TOLD TO “GO BACK IN”

Taking Tommy’s advice and thinking he would follow, I simply ducked back through the roof and into the darkness of the attic. In the light of the office below, I found myself slowly descending backward as if being taken toward the chair by an unseen angel.

As I was descending into the room, and floating toward my physical body, three people were working around the chair that held my body. As soon as I went back into the body, my physical body awoke with my soul and spirit, ‘me’, already awake and now ‘activating’ my physical body.

When Mother and I returned home, I told Grandma of the things I had seen her doing, and she confirmed everything to Mother. Grandma was unhappy with me, and soon moved away. Years later I would see she received understanding of what had taken place and the design for my life. She would play a part the next time this was to happen; but that would not be while her soul was in this world.

I was discouraged from talking about this experience, but just as in earlier miraculous things, then forgotten, I concluded that if this could happen to me the way it did and be so totally real, I would keep this in the back of my mind along with any other mysterious things that might happen in my life.

In the 1990’s I wrote down bits-and-pieces of the super-natural events that flashed through my mind. When I pieced those notes together there were enough stories to remind me of what had happened just as had been discussed in the 1950 prayer conversations. Thank You Lord for being with us!
