Halina J NDE

Experience Description

I was lying on an operation table and I can remember the doctor applying ether. After a few seconds, I saw my body floating in the air and moving to the right side of the room. I was amazed at what I saw. (I could remember every detail of the operation and I told the doctors about it when I was being moved to my room after the operation.) I went further to the right and I suddenly found myself in a grey desert and heard a voice coming from underground saying, 'There is GOD, There is GOD, There is GOD.' (I still can't remember if the voice spoke Polish or English). The word ‘ecstasy' describes the feeling best. Apart from ecstasy, I also felt great awe for God. I went further until I reached a tunnel and rays of sunlight. I knelt down and I felt God. I must say that as a five year old, I was fascinated by the Sun and I tried hard to reach for it and touch it. I don't know if this fact means anything but I know that I've changed a lot since this experience. I'm not the person I used to be. I like people the way they are. In silence, I like talking to my God. I'm still thinking about what happened in 1978. I told about this experience to the doctors who operated on me, to the nurses as well as other patients. It's worth mentioning that after the resection of my stomach that I underwent I was back to normal and could walk after two hours as if nothing happened.
