Experience Description

My experience was so vast that I cannot fit all the details here, so I will have to leave some parts out. For years, I suffered from an unspecified illness that made it difficult to breathe. I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air. It was not that I physically could not breathe, but it felt as if all the airways in my body collapsed or shut down. A nurse at an IANDS meeting once gave me the name of this condition, but I have since forgotten it. This happened frequently, about four to six times a month, for two to three years. But strangely, it all stopped the night of my experience.

Over time, I became used to these episodes. I learned not to panic and simply sit still for a few seconds until my breathing returned. But one night, something was different. It was taking longer than usual. Panic set in, and I suddenly knew I was going to die. Yet, instead of fear, I felt complete peace and detachment. I remember thinking, "Oh, I guess I am going to die now," but the thought carried no weight, no sadness, and no fear; just acceptance.

Then, I heard a female voice say, "Relax and let go. All is well."

I turned to see where the voice came from, but no one was there. A second time, the voice repeated, "Relax and let go. All is well." This time, I pinpointed the source. It was to my right. In an instant, I saw a translucent bluish energy figure move swiftly from right to left. It did not look human and had an otherworldly presence. Beyond it and in the darkness, I glimpsed a radiant sphere of light and a human-shaped figure made of light. But before I could fully process it, I was suddenly above and on the ceiling; looking down at a body sitting on a bed.

Strangely, I felt no connection to that body. I did not recognize it or understand why I was observing it. I only sensed that the body was struggling, pleading for help because it could not breathe. Out of curiosity, I asked the figure of light next to me,

"What is wrong with it?"

"It cannot breathe," it responded.

"What is breathing?" I asked.

"Breathing is something that body needs to survive."

"Oh, okay," I said, completely indifferent.

Then the figure asked, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes. This is boring," I replied.

In a split second, I was pulled away at an unimaginable speed, far beyond anything we experience in the physical world. Suddenly, I found myself on the most beautiful beach imaginable. Everything was made of light; living, radiant, and interconnected. I was part of everything, and everything was part of me.

I asked, "Is this heaven?"

"Yes, this is part of what humans call heaven," the figure answered.

"So if this is heaven, is God real?" I asked.

"Yes, God is real."

"If heaven is real and God is real, where is God?"

"God is in everything and everywhere, all the time."

I accepted the answer, though I did not fully understand it. Then, I asked, "If heaven is real and God is real, is Jesus real?"

I received no verbal answer. Instead, I suddenly found myself in a breathtakingly, beautiful cabin made entirely of light. The details are hard to describe, but it was beyond anything earthly.

Then, to my right, a massive hand appeared. It was a strong, masculine hand. I could see every intricate detail of the sleeve covering his wrist, an infinite array of colors forming the whitest white I had ever seen; adorned with simple gold ornaments and unfamiliar writing. The hand slowly opened, and from it emerged a figure. Without a doubt, I knew who he was. Despite being a lifelong atheist, I had an undeniable awareness. This was the one people call "Jesus." How did I know? I cannot explain it, but I had no doubts.

This is where my experience with him began.

I wish I could continue writing, but my vision is poor, and doing so gives me headaches. I shared my full experience in a podcast last year, and I would be happy to provide the link if you would like.
