Kyal L Probable NDE

Experience Description

At the time of my NDE, I was an incredibly depressed person who took my anger out on my dog and myself. I lived in squalor with my parents and siblings. I hated every waking moment of my life and thought about suicide every moment I could. I was sick of being a human, sick of war, sick of hatred, and sick of famine. But there was nothing I could do about it because I was a poor, dumb person who hated everything about life. I was not intelligent enough to leave my socioeconomic class. I even hated myself for being gay.

My NDE:

I was headed to bed and had hopped into my tattered sheets. I was lying down and I leaned up, out of bed to turn off my lamp at the power switch and laid back down. I was lying there for about 5 seconds before I realized that my heart was beating really fast.

There was a bright light in front of me, a ringing in my head and a buzz over my whole body. My entire life, from child to that present moment, was rushing behind my eyes. I couldn't cling to any memories but I knew it was the whole lot, just like a quick speed film reel. It had caught me off guard when I realized I was dying when I was halfway though my life recall. I thought to myself, 'Why am I experiencing this?' Then I drew the connection that I must have shocked myself when I turned off my lamp. I lay there thinking, 'Wow, I am going to die.' I saw that I would leave the entire planet and my family behind. There was no going back.

The ringing in my ears and the feeling I had was very familiar. I was shown in my life recall that I also electrocuted myself on an old heater when I was a child. The light tunnel pulled me in and I felt absolute comfort, love, oneness, and bliss. I felt no pain and no hatred. The feeling was love; PURE LOVE; real love.

I was outside the world and all its troubles but I was also still lying in there on the bed. I saw the tree of life and it's essence was pouring into the world. Instead of being claimed and floating 'home,' I was dangled above a pit of nothingness and void. I was shown what is worse than depression, where it was worse than hell, and because I would not exist anymore, my soul would be destroyed. It was the single most frightening thing I have ever experienced because at least in hell your soul would still exist. This pit of black nothingness would completely destroy my consciousness and I would forget my entirety, my everything. I would cease to exist even in spirit. I remember crying out, 'No! I still love, I still love!' even though I hated everything and everyone. I still had the capacity to love things. I was shown that how I was treating my dog was an atrocity. I would scold him and intimidate him with fear when he would chew on things or defecate on the floor or decking.

I was still buzzing and tried to get up out of bed to get help from my mother. I wasn't going to float away just yet. I would put one foot in-front of the other but the electrical signal that my mind was sending to my legs and feet was delayed by a few seconds. I clambered to her room and said, 'Mum I thing I think I may have electrocuted myself.' I collapsed into her room onto her bed. I kept having these visions. I saw the reincarnation wheel sucking me in and spitting me out like a giant magnetic ball of fire that attracted souls and shoved them into bodies/forms when they passed through. It was like a big sorting machine happening to thousands of souls all at once.

Then I became what Buddhists might call ZEN/enlightenment hearing thousands of monks singing OM. The sound was louder than a turbo jet flying overhead as it filled my consciousness. I was completely at peace with myself as I saw zigzag, black and white, patterns enveloping over itself. It was like an curtain enveloping itself endlessly, being content with absolute oneness. How I already knew how to get to this state, was an inner knowing that I/we all have access to, but then it faded. I have never been able to find that place in me since. If I could find that state at will, I probably would not want to still kill myself.

I was given a choice by some angels whether to stay on earth or go into the light. Even though I wanted to die every day, I chose to come back to the world thinking I could still help or do something good with my life. Being gay was irrelevant to the divine, by the way. I was about to be sucked up when my mother put her hand on my forehead. I saw a gilded crucifix on her palm and she stopped me from leaving.

After my event, I felt very selfish and wanted to live a life of minimalism. I wanted to get rid of all my items of clothing and almost everything I owned. I have never been mean to an animal since. While my NDE was an eye opener I still cannot comprehend how we as humans are all living like we do. It just doesn't make sense.

Did you come to a border or point of no return? I came to a definite conscious decision to return to life I was given the choice or moreover I asked to come back - I think I was communicating with some angels. I thought I could try to help. In hindsight, I wish I had just left then and there.
