Experience Description

My dad and some of his friends were in a garage working on a car, they were in the front by the walk in door which was open at the time. I was in the back of the garage playing. The car was running he didn't know I was in the garage, so it had been running for a while. When they heard something hit the back bumper, they realized I was in there.

I went quickly through a tunnel and was met by two shimmering beings who stayed with me the entire time. The first place I went was a crystal city where everything was vibrant and alive. These beings took me to different rooms within the crystal city, one of the rooms I came to know as the room of knowledge. In this room, I knew all there was to know about everything. The beings didn't let me keep all the knowledge I gained at that time.

The next room seemed to be a giant hall, where I was told all the great healers of the world were and I was amongst them. At that time, I didn't know what that meant, the next room was octagon shaped and it had what appeared to be a well in the middle of the floor. I seemed to be at the edge of the well before I knew it. As I looked into the well, I saw what seemed to be moving and churning energy. It was in the shape of confetti and had all the colors of the rainbow. I put my hands into the well and felt the energy of it. It felt like static electricity and seemed to heighten all my senses. Then all of a sudden four tunnels appeared in front, behind and to the sides of me, these tunnels had light at the ends of them. The two beings were conveying to me that I had a choice to take any path I wanted and that I had to go.

I looked around in all directions and then looked back to the left of me; I came to on the couch in the family's house that we were at. The wife of the man whose car my dad was working on was home at the time all this happened. She worked as a nurse and performed CPR on me. They said I had no pulse for around twenty minutes. My family took me to our doctor because we couldn't afford the hospital. He told my folks I seemed to be okay and that I would probably have lung problems the rest of my life. He also did some other test that I didn't know what they were. That was February 28, 1968. It's the after effects of the experience that I have the most trouble with and nobody to talk to about it at that time.
