Gulden NDE

Experience Description:

I don't know how many days I was in the clinic but I was in the Izmir Ege University Neurosurgery Section. On the right temporal lobe was a bleeding and I had in my brain nine times more veins/arteries than an average human did. (I had a kind of veins/arteries accumulation.) This was the cause of the hemorrhaging. Since 06/06/2000, I was in the clinic but the date for surgery was on 20/06/2000, because the doctors had to make the decision which of the veins/arteries they had to cut out.

In the three weeks of my time after the surgery in the clinic, I was conscious but I don't remember that, but raising above my bed. I felt raising up above my bed, taking direction to a white, very bright light. Meantime, I saw my uncle, who died one month ago, while passing me he said, 'Not yet.' I was surprised how I understood him without spoken words, but I felt very peaceful. Later a lady came to me, if I saw her now, I would recognize her. She took me to a wonderful place with mountains and said that this was the place of my life. The place we went was beautiful, but I said to her that this place is not my life's place.

Then we came to a seashore with a little village and she said again that this place was my life, but I didn't know this place and I said to her that this is not the place of my life. After we travelled to some more very beautiful places, she said that I was not ready to stay in these places and asked me what I remembered about my life. The first thing I remembered was my mother and I fell with high speed down. I felt how I fell into my body, woke up, and asked my mother if she was my mother, who was sitting at my bed side. My mother was confused and said that she was my mother. I had a blanket on me, a gift from my close friend and I wanted her to verify this. I said the name of my boyfriend and wanted to know from her if he was real. She said that he was real and started crying.

Concerning our Earthly lives other than Religion

During your experience, did you gain special knowledge or information about your purpose? Yes The definition of peace is very personal. I learned that death is nothing to be scared of. I can write much better and beautifully, and I can make more beautiful paintings.

Have your relationships changed specifically because of your experience? Yes I meet people with more joy. I hardly get angry. My daily life is full of love and peaceful. I feel pleasure by helping to strangers.

After the NDE:

Was the experience difficult to express in words? Yes Because I don't think my experience was unique to this world. That's why the words I use from earth can't define my experience.

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Yes High premonition. In some places, I felt the energy of this place, in my body. People come to me when they have pain, and I can say where their pain is, before they say it to me, I touch the painful area and I can take it away. I think this has to do with raising up my bio-energy. I don't think I am a healer.

Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you? To see my uncle was very important to me. The white light and the great peace was definitely wonderful emotion. My guardian angel and being greeted when we die made me not scared of death anymore.

Have you ever shared this experience with others? Yes I am now a happy person, smiling in my eyes, spreading positive energy in the places I go. I told my experience at first to my close friends, they were confused. My family knows only a little of this, because I know, they would not believe me. My physician said that the painkillers and drugs could have caused the feeling of living this experience.

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 think you cannot interpret this, you only know that it is real.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real I know.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? I think that my life ended at one point but I think I live the time which is a gift and that is why I try to make the best of it.
