Experience Description

I just got done watching your podcast with one of my favorite near death experience podcasts. What can I say about my experience? Apparently, what I realize later on, is that with my sleep apnea, I died in my sleep.

I found myself in the black void. The best way I can explain it, is that I was back in my mother's womb. It took me a long time to come up with that explanation. Either way, I was incomplete blackness; pure velvet black. I came to the realization that I was in the company of God himself. I couldn’t see him. I couldn’t see myself. I just knew who he was and I could feel everything about him. The amount of love that poured into me was more than my body could handle. I felt like I was a balloon and I was going to blow up at any moment.

Telepathically, he said, 'Ask.' I was so caught off guard, that all I could think of was, "What is the meaning of life?' Within one moment or a split second, everything came flooding into me like a gigantic river, rushing into my heart. I knew everything about everything. I knew everything about everybody that existed on the earth; as well as who has ever existed in time. I knew everything about mathematics, aeronautics, and anything else anyone could think about. I truly felt like I was a God myself. At the end of it all, God wanted to explain to me that nothing is more important than love. So he started flooding me with an unbelievable amount of love; more than anyone could ever imagine, like love times 1 trillion. And that’s probably not even enough. I thought my heart was going to explode. Once again, I was feeling like a balloon. God told me that I was going back, and that I would not remember anything else 'but the love I showed you.' He told me, 'I expect for you to go and explain to everybody else that there is no death.' I can't remember if I wanted to go back or not.

Suddenly, I woke up in the bed next to my ex-wife. I was literally laughing and crying at the same time; sitting up and holding my chest. At that moment, I still remembered everything that I had learned. I was very excited to wake up in the morning, tell everybody about quantum physics, and everything else. And especially about the love. To my dismay, I remembered the love, but could not remember or recall all of the extremely incredible information that had downloaded into me. I’ve told my kids and my now, ex-wife, all about it. My kids somewhat believe what I said, but still question it. It really doesn’t matter to me.

All I know is that we all go on after death. We have infinite lives. We will reincarnate, as we have done thousands and thousands of times. We are on earth as a learning experiences that we cannot learn in the perfect world of heaven.

I’m not a super-religious person. But, I’m now very spiritual based on what I experienced. I lost all of my fear of death. Unfortunately, as many near death experiences will tell you, I went into a depression because I want nothing more than to go back home. I’m trying to enjoy this life that I have taken on. But it is very hard because I don’t remember what I chose to deal with this time around. And once again, I did choose all of these things in my life: loss of family, loss of children, financial devastation, divorces, etc. Even now, it's hard for me to understand that I chose these things. Sometimes, I actually get very pissed at my other half for agreeing to this. However, I did, and that everything is as it should be for the time being.

I’ve told many friends about my experience. Some of them, it has brought them great relief, knowing that they have kids and family members that they worry about. I believe that is the one thing that God gave me the gift to do was to let people know. There are others, however, like my father and friends that are doctors that cannot understand that there is a life beyond this. My doctor friend believes that when he dies that everything just goes away. You don’t remember anything. You don’t remember who you were or that you even had kids or loving your life. I told him that I thought that was the scariest thing in the world.

My God experience was the most amazing experience of my life. I’m glad I was able to find this website after watching the podcast. I’m glad I was able to share my story.
