Experience Description


It all begun by driving up Mount Charleston one day with school friends! We decided to pick up two girls from another school nearby ours and play hooky! We left to drive home again at about 3:00 pm in the afternoon from the top of Mount Charleston to Vegas - we realized that we did not have enough petrol in the tank to make it all the way home to Las Vegas. So we decided to coast down this enormous hilly highway leading up to this mountain. The car we drove was a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza. It belonged to the fellow who was my very best friend. He was driving the vehicle!! As we got further down the hilly road - we collected a very fast pace of speed and the driver did not realize that the brakes did not work on the car with the engine shut off!! He lost control of the vehicle and we tumbled down the side of the mountain in the car with the car! (One girl was killed, another received slight injuries, and the fellow had hardly any injuries on him as he was thrown out of the car, incredible as it was a convertible!!)


I went for the entire ride till the car finally stopped!! I floated above the vehicle. I noticed a crew from a helicopter carrying a gurney on which they loaded my body!! I saw me - bloody - beaten. - They had me as dead. They mentioned it. I heard it said, but I felt wonderful where I was. I floated very, very peacefully through the air as I watched happily, as I was being removed. It was me that they removed!!!! I saw the helicopter with me in the gurney by the side of the cabin take off into the direction of Vegas and I lost consciousness immediately afterwards.


During this time, I felt me riding as a little boy on a beautiful merry-go-round, lovely organ music, beautiful white clothes. I was happy, smiling and laughing with all the other kids. We experienced total bliss. My other little friends were also decked out in white clothing - going around and around. A man got up, walked across to the handles of the machine which powered the merry-go-round and stopped it. He called out my name and asked me to get off the merry-go-round. I was so very sad. I cried, but I got off. He told me it was time to leave this.


I woke up. I looked up and saw my face in the mirror on my hospital bed. My face was a mess. I couldn't move. I shouted obscenities. I wanted to die for taking me back to this shitty life and so I started what I called my new horrible life. I was angry because they ordered me back to this.
