Maria GP Possible NDE

Experience Description

I had been in pain for many hours and could not achieve dilation. I was an'sthetized for a c'sarean section and went to sleep straightaway.

The next thing I remember, there was a being welcoming me. I could not see his face clearly but I knew he was very familiar to me. He was saying something like ‘Here you are! I've been expecting you’. It was a communication in the mind. The being stayed behind while I floated on, being pulled along by a wonderful river of lights. The river took a right turn, and I was in front of two enormous screens, depicting rounded forms made of constantly moving lights and colors. I stood before them, feeling that I was required to understand the movement of those lights. It was similar to needing to figure out a password.

Leaving the screens behind, I found myself in darkness. At this point, the feeling of wisdom was enormous, and my heart was overflowing with love. I remembered Jesus, as if I were He. I turned towards the left, and there, at the end of a sort of tunnel, I saw a shining sphere. It spoke to me telepathically (I guess,) and said ‘Not yet, you have to return and guide your family’. Then the light became dimmer and a reddish color. I saw what looked like two three-dimensional busts drawing near. I recognized the faces on the busts as they passed next to me, as one seemed to be of me, and the other my husband. I put myself inside the one that was of me.

I don't know how long this lasted, but that is the last I remember of my experience. I awoke feeling very cold, but at no point was this because I was afraid as I was in my own home. After all these years, I still feel that coldness inside me, just as I have it while writing this.
