Robert E NDE

Experience Description

I was driving the 1961 Chrysler Windsor that I was in the process of restoring. I was not wearing a seat belt as I hit a post on the passenger side going 100 miles per hour. I was still conscious and managed to open the driver's door. I stepped out and felt my right forehead. As I looked at my hand, it was covered in blood. That is when I passed out.

I was outside of my body and looking at it. Two beings appeared; one on my left and one on my right. We began going through a tunnel, side by side. I felt a constantly increasing speed that at times was like being completely ripped apart. Suddenly, I found myself standing on a grassy hill. To the left, I saw a pulsating orb with golden, white light emanating from it. To the front and right of me, I saw a mountainous valley filled with millions of people. All of them were bathed in the light from this orb. I said to myself, 'Am I dead.' A person behind me said, 'Yes, you are.' I heard them from in my heart area, not from my ears.

Then I felt arms on my back as they quickly pushed me down the hill towards the masses of people. I was led up to a woman, arms outstretched towards the orb. She said, 'Praise Him.'

I did not know this woman. Three years later, I met this woman and she was very much alive. She was an old girlfriend's mother.

Then I noticed a fence surrounding the masses. There were tall, stoic forms that were dark and greyish-colored. I was pushed right into one of their faces. the hair on my head stood up. I was terrified. I looked to my left and saw Jesus. I leapt into his arms.

The next thing I remember is arriving as I put my body back on, as if I were putting on a set of clothes.

A neighbor called 911 and and the ambulance arrived. The paramedics restarted my heart after numerous tries. I woke up in the hospital. I was bruised, battered, and had numerous cuts. I was soon released, after a few days. I was miraculously healed. I felt like I was walking on clouds for a few months afterward.
