Experience Description

It was a Saturday during the day and I was at school. It was during recess and like most kids, I was playing. I had poise and was well formed, as a boy. A bigger playmate, who was obese, grabbed me from behind, around my neck and by the seat of my pants and started to run, dragging me. I was very sickly, at that age, and always suffering from tonsillitis and asthma. For that reason, I began choking and turning purple. My playmate wasn't aware of that. When he did notice, he let me go, I landed on my feet, and I remember that I looked at the ground and saw a shiny object that looked like a coin. I stooped to retrieve it and, at that instant, I fell, unconscious.

I instantly found myself on a pathway like in a gigantic garden, and there was light, much light, all around me. I felt a peace and tranquility that I've never felt, since. I was walking on the path; one could see much vegetation, plants, flowers, trees, etc., etc., etc. Towards the end of the walkway, one saw an enormous central light and it was as if a superior being interrogated me and asked me what I was doing there. Like the child that I was, I started to explain what I've just said. That I was at school, that it was a Saturday during the day and that I was at recess, that my playmate... and etc., etc., etc., and at that moment I awoke and I was stretched out on the ground on my back and all my playmates of the same grade were surrounding me.

Between a few of them, they picked me up and carried me to splash me with water and revive me. It was a very beautiful experience and I didn't tell anyone, not even my parents. It stayed archived in my brain and it wasn't until twenty-five years later that it saw the light.

Recently, I've arrived at conclusions about this marvelous experience which caused me to question everything that has been and will be. Many times, I wondered why I didn't stay over there, but with time I've accepted that it was a very rich experience and I learned to co-exist with it. Today, I am very spiritual and know there exists something better than the material and physical life, which we humans all have. I am preparing myself for the trip and accomplishing all the missions that correspond to us. I have three children; I'm married nearly twenty years and happy as one can be. I am at the stage of learning and discovery; I've been initiated or illuminated and I think that the experience I've described was an opportunity I need to take advantage of. What I never knew was the time that passed during the experience I mentioned. I don't know, either, if, I am, as an adult, the same as the child of that time. It is not easy to explain all this but I hope I've contributed.

Yours, Jorge R.

After the NDE:

Yes I think yes, since currently nothing scares me and I like to investigate everything that is or might be.

I started recounting it to half the world about twenty-five years afterwards. At the beginning, it cost me to tell the story, because I felt misunderstood.

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

I want to communicate to the entire world that we should be more spiritual and prepare ourselves in life to accomplish our missions and in that way be more completely ready for the trip which awaits us when we abandon our containers called bodies.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? I took some time to answer, for it's very complete, but I imagine that is because you need to corroborate the information.
