Before the experience I was vomiting and sweating, and then I passed out. After I passed out, I saw a glimpse of myself lying in bed and then I could not see anymore. I slowly heard my breathing stop and then heard my heart slow down until it also stopped. Then I knew that it was time to go. I was suddenly standing next to my bed watching my body lie there and I heard a voice asking, 'have you had enough?' I didn't see who asked the question and I did not reply yet. Then my whole life flashed in a couple of moments with vivid detail. I felt that a male who had passed away was telling me, 'take care of her.' Then pictures of people popped up, and I felt a cool breeze although it was very hot, so I said, 'No, I'm not done yet.' Then I saw visions of my future and I felt that now I knew HOW to live in this thing called life. I was very peaceful at the moment, seeing my life. I was accepting death, feeling relieved and tranquil. Silence gave me the feeling of acceptance, that God accepts me and loves me. Then I decided to go to sleep or die, whichever way I knew that God had touched me with that experience; I immediately knew that this was special.Today I woke up feeling like I was just born. I saw clearer, breakfast tasted better, touching things was new to me, and I realized that I saw more details and now I think smarter; my consciousness is beside me.
