Experience Description 3692: The usual out of body descriptions apply. I could see everything. If I thought about a person, I was immediately transported to them whilst paradoxically remaining and continuing to see what I was already witnessing. When I realized I was dead which took several minutes a great warmth of love engulfed me and I felt arms wrap around me even though I had no physical form, colors where electric, smells fantastic I slipped in and out of my body multiple times during the three days. I had life reviews, but these were not how I have read about. Mine were purely self-observed and self-analyzed, as if I was my own parent or own teacher. It is difficult to put into words. I was also aware of the over powering secret to life in its truly simple form and felt and believed it that nothing else is real but the feeling. The experience of death has been the most real and physical experience of my life and the world here felt cold, heavy, and unreal for some time afterwards.There was a lot of 'physical' contact with me during this experience that also continued when 'alive' again and out of hospital intensely for several months but on occasion if I get anxious or worried it occurs again and as it did in my experience makes me feel instantly comforted and alright.
