Experience Description

My mother was driving to my aunt's house on Christmas Eve; we stopped and picked up a small dog. A car hit us at an intersection, right where I was sitting. I don't remember the impact but I do remember the dog flying from my arms. After that, I was looking down and watching. It was a cold winter day but I was not cold or warm. I could see them take me from the car and put me in an ambulance I watched them but was okay and happy but somehow I know I had to return and I did in the ambulance.

I have never shared this experience before, but it has affected my life more then I realized until now. After reading 'Evidence of the Afterlife' it is so clear. I am by most standards a quiet person that keeps to me. I have known that we are all connected from that day on, and that we and all around is the light the knowledge. I know what people are feeling and I know random things, the most powerful was a few years ago. I was on a short trip with a friend and her husband, I heard a deep male voice say 'Sarah dies' it was real and I know a Sarah had died. I just didn't know what Sarah. I instantly told my friend who just gave me a strange look. About five hours later, I received a phone call, Sarah a sweet girl and neighbor died in an auto accident. Her time of death is listed shortly after the male voice told me she died.

I believed for many years that everyone had these experiences in their lives and it was normal. I have learned over the years that it is not normal and at times judged so I don't speak of it much. I have never been competitive and see personal ego as the source of evil in this world, the elimination of ego is associated to the light and the knowledge.
