Experience Description

IMy experience starts with returning from camping and breaking up with a girlfriend. I stopped at a friend's house on the way back and she was there making the situation uncomfortable for me so I told my buddy that was riding with me all weekend to stay here, I was going to the store to get a pack of cigs. He was insisting on going with me. But after much convincing, he stayed. On my way back, I was stopped at a 'T' intersection waiting to make a left turn on to San Miguel Canyon road from Hall Road, which would represent the top of the 'T' as Hall Road. When it was clear to go, I started to proceed through the turn when a car that was speeding eighty-plus miles per hour hit me broadside and my head struck the metal steering wheel and collapsed it at the top of the column. I couldn't steer very well and the car kept going down into this field. Now I could see smoke and flames in my rearview mirror and I knew I had to get out. So, with no strength in my body, I managed to open my door and let myself fall out. It was good thing I wasn't wearing a seat belt or I wouldn't be writing this. I lay in the field and watched my car continue and stop in a circle, it was burning from the trunk. Two minor explosions happened and then a huge one that shot flames over my head, then the car continued to burn. I got up out of the field and walked back up to the road and the median I drove over.

The owner of the other car was standing there with his lady friend and yelling at me with not a scratch on him. At this point, I collapsed on the median. A nurse going on duty to the hospital saw me fall and got me an ambulance. I do remember getting loaded into the ambulance, but nothing else until we arrived at the hospital. I remember the lights zooming over my head as they rushed me in and as soon as they stopped in a room.

I said, 'Watch out! Here I go!' and I started out of my body. I just rose up with an image of my back to the ceiling and the doctors saying we lost him. I could see them scrambling around me. Then I went even higher up and could see my dad sitting in the hallway outside the room. (Evidently, they had called him and I wasn't going to make it.) As he was sitting there, he was trying to light his pipe in the hospital. A nurse came over and was shaking her finger for him to put it out. He stuck his finger in the pipe and put it in his pocket. I thought, 'Now dad, you can't light a pipe in a hospital you know better than that.' I was going to tell him so when I got back. Then I felt a force pulling at me and I started to accelerate smoothly but very rapidly. There was no light yet, it was still dark. Then I was moving at a light speed it seemed and flashes of light were moving past me in brilliant colors, it was like a kaleidoscope around me.

Then I saw a small dot of light that was getting closer and closer until the dot expanded into a room on the other side. There were no walls to speak of and there was other activity going on behind these glowing human figures that were hooded. I couldn't make out facial features but saw a silhouette of them. There was an unusual light everywhere that seemed to come from no direct source. We (me and the five of them) started to communicate without verbal speech. I felt as though I was plugged into everything and could see and hear through my consciousness. Then they asked me if I want to stay or return. I immediately said I want to go back. That I would do whatever they wanted me to do, just so I could return. I wasn't fearful at all, in fact I never felt so wonderful before, but I just thought I should go back and do work for these guys.

At this point, I was seemingly downloaded with all this awareness and knowledge. I felt so aware of every aspect of life and death or, as I call it the dimensional move, and all this time I'm not aware of time as though it didn't matter, but it felt like a very long time. Then I was sent back and started to move back through the tunnel. Then time seemed to take effect again. I was accelerating again and the trip wasn't as long. Then I saw the doctors over me and they were shaking their heads 'no' and looking down. My dad just over the wall had his head in his hands. Then I thought, 'Hey guys I'm back,' and I slowly lowered myself back into my body as if I was laying back down into it.

Next thing I heard was, 'We have a pulse. We have a pulse.' Now I could see the lights and then the doctors. They asked me if I could hear them and I said yes. My dad came rushing in and hugged me. I said, 'Dad, I died.' The doctor asked, 'How could you know that?' I said, 'I also saw you dad, trying to light your pipe.' He turned a funny color and said, 'That's amazing.' Now my work was to start for the guys up there. I have much more to tell about the lives I save and other strange happenings that go on to this day.
