Roxanne S NDE

Experience Description

I watched the little girl's body from above, as if in the tree. Then I was transported to a wondrous landscape where all my feelings and events of my life happened at once. I wrote a book about it, 'The Wave of Light', to try to describe it all, but the most recent thing I wrote is:

Here

on a visit

in particle state

life unfolds

in time and space

Eternity

glimpsed in dreams

quiet moments

and bliss

Home we go

to wave state

time and space

mere concepts

of these particles

Everything about the universe Our perception of time and space is limited by our physical existence - that existence is enhanced when the body is left behind, but we still do not see it all - can't from this perspective but will when we return to all that is...

The experience included: Life review

Did scenes from your past come back to you? My past flashed before me, out of my control I saw that everything I felt, say, and do has an impact on everything.

After the NDE:

Was the experience difficult to express in words? Yes

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Yes Many over the years, last one a month ago where, in a dreamlike meditative state I saw all events of all that was, is and ever will be coming together into one point of light - emotions to geometric forms all merging into a pinpoint very clearly and I said out loud 'I get it' and came back into consciousness. Now very hard to describe but this is the best I can do.

Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you? Best, seeing that everything is connected. Worst, coming back.

Have you ever shared this experience with others? Yes Countless conversations about life, nature of being, NDEs, quantum mechanics, everything!

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? Yes Death of my grandmother where she took me to similar 'landscape' (1974). Three LSD experiences similar but not as intense (1976, 1981, 1997) After major operation (1991) was visited by a being of light that told me I would be fine.

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? Second NDE when I nearly drowned at seventeen years old in Newport Beach, California.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? Thank you! It's good to be reminded of all of this. In 1997, after birth of my first grandchild, I focused hard on moving my body from Oregon to Colorado and related physical day-to-day stuff. Numerous deep experiences in the past year have re-immersed me in all of this too. Guess you could say I'm having my cake and eating it too right now.
