Lisa Possible NDE

Experience Description

I was in hospital due to Anorexia Nervosa. I woke up suddenly at like 3:00 am. I was looking down at my body and aware of a presence sort of to my right and behind me. I realized (not really visual, but could somehow see him?) that Jesus was there. It surprised me, as I was agnostic. We began a communication/transmission. As if we didn't speak, yet I could hear his voice somehow.

It was very brief and to the point. Firstly, I was not scared, just really surprised. I initiated the dialogue. We spoke without speaking. It's hard to describe. He was up sort of above and behind me to the right. I 'saw' him without looking/seeing him. Here's how it went:

Me: 'What are YOU doing here?' (I knew he was put off by this and felt things hadn't started out too well, he seemed in a rush, impatient once I 'transmitted' this to him.)

Him: 'Do you want to stay or go?'

Me: 'STAY.'

Him: 'Okay, you have to make a promise.'

Me: Okay, what?'

Him: ' You can never do this again.'

Me: 'Okay.' Then he was not there anymore and I was back in my body, I was lying in the bed. I got up, (before this, I was unable to walk).

I walked to the nurse's station and demanded food, of the highest calorie sort.

I never looked back and was on a mission to gain the weight needed to get out of hospital, go home to my former life. And I did.
