Oscar J NDE

Experience Description

I was a chemistry university student at the time. I was preparing firecrackers. There was a great explosion that blinded me and blew off three fingers on my left hand. It was difficult to breathe, my abdomen was wounded, and I lost a lot of blood. I was taken to an emergency room in my hometown. Little by little, the pain was gone. My body became very light, to the point that I did not feel my body. However, I did perceived myself lying in the operating room with doctors and nurses talking among themselves while I was dying.

My being was absorbed, as if by a gigantic vacuum. I sensed immense Happiness and peace.

The doctors applied anesthesia. I was in a coma for three days. The doctors told my parents that I was in critical condition and might pass away within those three days. When I returned to life, I did not want to be in this world because it was so peaceful on the other side.

After a week, I recovered my sight.
