Experience Description

I played a football game with a loose shin pad. When I came home in the evening, my shinbone was a bit red, itching and hurting. I went to sleep and after about an hour, the pain woke me up and was getting unbearable. I took a painkiller and waited until morning to go to the hospital. My shinbone was very red and was hurting terribly. At the hospital, the doctor told me it was a second-degree burn, bandaged it and asked me to change it at night. I proceeded to go buy a box of bandages and went to work (suffering from lack of sleep), the pain was still there but bearable. In the evening, on the way back from work, the pain suddenly came back, I couldn't stand my pants and I had difficulty walking. When I got home, I went straight to the bathroom to change the bandage. I undressed and tried to pull on the bandage but the burn had dried up and was stuck to it.

When I pulled off a tiny bit of the bandage, the pain went straight to my heart. I was not feeling well and decided to put my bandaged leg in the bath to try to soften the scabs. I tried many times to pull on the bandage and after a while got up on my feet but was not doing well.

I could hear myself calling to my wife and then, I emerged from my body, which was crumbled on the floor like a blanket. I was in absolute darkness and I was coming near a bright and intense white light. Suddenly, I came back into my body and it felt as if I was sucked back in it. The showerhead had fallen into the bath, the water was sprinkling on my lower abdomen and it felt as if I was urinating on myself. I woke up, lying on the floor, with my head against my chest. My wife turned off the water so it wouldn't flood the bathroom.

She asked me how I was doing and tried to get me up but I could hardly move, I was too weak. My wife called the fire department; they quickly arrived and sat me up on my bed. Because I was so weak and they worried I had hurt my back when I fell, they took me to the hospital. While on the way there I was very cold (and it was summer time), they covered me up with blankets, turned on the emergency lights and sped up. At the hospital, I felt neglected and also felt like the doctor wasn't taking me seriously. I was under the impression that he thought I was lying. The nurses had difficulty taking off the bandage and wanted to rip it out in one shot and then put a new one on, which I refused. They kept me for the night because I had lost consciousness.

Experience was definitely real Now I understand it and it helped me built a certain understanding of our mind and body: the brain is a transmitter and receiver and our soul is a sphere of universal thoughts. Each individual follows their abilities and the quality of their brain is situated on a point on the sphere. Therefore, depending where the quality of their brain is located in regards to the middle of the sphere, the sensitivity will be slightly different. More research needs to be done regarding the study of magnetism.
