Experience Description

It took me five years to be able to talk about my experience. On August 18, 2008, my sister gave me one of her cars and I drove from Maastricht to Cologne Airport. I had a flight to Budapest. It is only a 150 km drive. It was nice weather, warm and sunny. I was driving on the highway when I felt something push on my car behind me. I crashed under the truck in front of me because I couldn't control my car. I felt no pain as I blacked out.

I remember standing next to my body. I felt free, light, peaceful, and warm. It was simply an enjoyable situation. I saw people running around the wreck, trying to push my body on the tarmac. I tried to talk to them but realized I couldn't communicate with them. I kept telling them that I was good, and to leave me there. Suddenly, a high-powered light came down in my direction and sucked me into a vortex. It was uncomfortable, but I didn't care. I did not miss anyone or anything. I was just curious.

Within the vortex, I see pictures of faces and places all around me, but I was looking at them without any emotion. After a lapse of time, I stand in an eggshell colored place. It was quiet, peaceful, and warm. I was looking around. I enjoyed the view without any view. Normally I am very active, loud, and moving all the time. Seeing colors of only eggshell and white surprised me because it wasn't in keeping with my character. I told myself, 'this is cool!' I can stay here with no pain, no hunger, nothing. A voice, perhaps in my head, told me my travel wasn't finished.

In that moment, I felt a sucking force coming from above. The force drags me into a higher stream of energy where I left the earth and passed the moon and all the solar system. It felt fresh, a bit cold, and I felt a bit of panic. I saw the whole Universe floating around me, or I was floating inside this element. There are no words to describe the view and the feeling of the experience. I stopped to contemplate the beauty of the big bang theory, the evolution, the balance between good and less good. Another voice told me to continue.

In a flash of feeling, I traveled into a different zone. I arrived within a field of 'oily' colors that were pure and changing. A wind blows perfumed air. I had a sound of joy around me. Something or someone told me to follow, and I did. I stood next to a small creek. There was a movement inside the creek. It was very colorful and very oily. I had to touch it. I put my hand in this oily non-fluid creek. Instantly I was uploaded with all kinds of energy, knowledge, and electricity. It was like an input of a glorious bang in my head. I knew I was happy! Until this time, I had no physical feeling. The moment this energy went through my spiritual body, I could feel every molecule within me. I said to myself, 'Okay this is it! I stay here, no way back! Why should I go back?' At this time, I had no memories about my past, people, or places from my earthly life. All was gone. With no feeling of time or place, I felt a pain in my spine. Suddenly, everything started to change. Everything got dark and started to cool down.

Then without any warning, I was pushed back to my earthly body. That hurt! In my opinion, that was hell and I hated it. I woke up September 4, 2008 from a coma. Then my life changed.
