Pinchon NDE

Experience Description

Impression came to me very quickly in a space with colorful prisms that paraded around me. When I arrived in this space of soft and brilliant light, there was an amazing ambiance of love. I felt like I was in communication with a charismatic entity. I was surprised because the being communicated in an unknown language that I understood. I had a life review where I saw the good and the bad events of my life. I was judged on this balance: The judgment was favorable.

I had a feeling of extreme lucidity, omniscience and super conscience and I had the impression I could speak all languages. I 'saw' my two children (currently living) being held by the hand, they were rays of light, dressed in white.

I was flooded with information. I knew I needed to come back to my children. Some messages printed themselves in my mind and one only remained in my memory: 'it is necessary to fully use one’s capacities on Earth, not to waste his/her/its talents, but to share them with other’s.'

I made huge efforts to come back to life. When I came back to the world, I was agitated with what I was around me. I could not speak, nor open my eyes, yet I felt all emotions and the thoughts of all around me. The first scene I saw was one of a tree against a gray sky with Paris off in the distance. I regretted my return. A depression followed, in spite of happiness at recovering. My family didn't want to listen to my deliriums.

Reader Contribution:

I have been reading your wonderful site for a long time. It is very inspirational!

I have a comment to make about Pinchon's NDE. Since it is translated from the French, I was not sure if you understood the reference to 'Jean-Michel Jarre.' Jean Michel Jarre is a new-age type musician. I have not heard many of his albums, but I have one of his earlier ones, 'Oxygene'. Some of the music on it sounds like some of the other music I have heard that was created by near-death experiencers who were trying to communicate what the music they heard was like.
