Experience Description

I saw a girl in the hospital bed and knew that she was very ill and dying. With this understanding, I knew it was me and that I was this ill girl.

I had departed from my physical body and was looking at my hospital room from the corner of the ceiling. I saw my father walking up and down looking now and then at the monitors that my body was attached to, I saw my mother sitting in a large armchair quietly. Then they appeared one on my left, one on my right and one behind me.

I felt great wisdom coming from them; they talked to me through thought not sound. They asked me if I wished to go with them or stay.

I had no questions about going with them but asked many about what will be if I decided to stay. Some of my questions were:

1. If I decided to stay will I get better?

2. Will the pain go away?

3. How will I know that all will be okay after I decide to live?

4. Is there something that I am to do on earth and therefore should decide to live?

I was given more or less answers to my questions.

I knew when they didn't want to answer and left it at that.

The moment I made my decision I was back in my body and fell asleep.
