Experience Description

I heard a melody and I saw heavenly people floating in the air. They didn't talk to me but they looked nice. It was a dim but clear moonlit night with clouds floating in the air. The melody was perfect as I watched my body being carried by the villagers into someone's front yard.

They shouted, ‘That inhuman Jeep driver who hit the man is trying to run away.’ I saw the Jeep in the moonlight turning off its lights and escaping from the scene (hit and run). The villagers tried their best to revive me, saying, ‘Mister, you can't die! Do you hear us? Come back! Come back! Don't die!’ Their voices were down there on the ground while I was high in the air. I was like in ecstasy and did not want to come back to my body. I forgot to say that a brief and distinctive review of my life, with complete details, was shown to me as soon as I came out of my body, but I was sucked back down into my body and heard the villagers' voices, now above my face. The adventure had ended and I was sad to be back in this world. During the experience, I had felt no pain and no fear, instead, just a marvelous happiness.
