Experience Description



I had a major heart attack on Friday the 13th of May 2016. It was the worst kind you can have. I tried to call relatives who were in the house for help. They thought I was over exaggerating. One of them joked, 'I feel like I'm having a heart attack too!' Since they wouldn't take me seriously, I tried to take a shower. By the time I was done, I knew something was terribly wrong, so I stumbled into my bedroom and called 911. I don't remember getting dressed, talking to the dispatcher, or walking down three flights of concrete steps. When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I was relieved to see I had clothes on. But I had ripped a fingernail off. The paramedics pulled up as soon as I arrived at the bottom of the stairs. The paramedic calmed me down. I started to go unconscious and the paramedic was asking me what my pain level was. I tried to answer him and distinctly remember saying 'Seven on a scale of 1 - 10.' He responded, 'OK stay with me.' I was confused as to why he didn't hear me. At this point, I knew that I was dying and got very scared.

Then BOOM! I was surrounded by a beautiful, white light! I was wondering about my beloved dog Blue who had died just 10 days before this event. He spoke to me telepathically and in English. It was very comforting to know he was O.K. I than had like a whoosh of sudden information like an instant download of information. The information was about all my loved ones and so much more that I can't remember it all.

Than I met my best friend who I had wanted to see for so long. It was Jesus! I just knew it. Even though he didn't say my name, I didn't ask his either. It was like we always knew each other and he loved me so much! All the information and communication we had was telepathic and instantaneous. I do remember arguing with him at the end, not in a bad way, but saying, 'Please don't send me back there!' I audibly heard his voice and I'll never forget his real voice. He said, 'No, not yet.'

I still cry when I think of this experience.

At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event? Yes Heart attack. Clinical death (cessation of breathing or heart function). I had a widow-maker heart attack. It's the worst one you can have. And only about 10 percent make it to the hospital alive.

How do you consider the content of your experience? Entirely pleasant

The experience included: Out of body experience

Did you feel separated from your body? Yes. I heard the paramedic asking me questions. I tried to answer. I then heard him say, 'Code 3' and he also told the driver to, 'Punch it!'

After the NDE:

Was the experience difficult to express in words? Yes It was like floating in a warm, hot spring of love and light while having access to all information at once and still being at total peace. I felt full connection to everything.

How accurately do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred around the time of the experience? I do not know how my remembrance of the experience compares to my remembrance of other life events.

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was definitely real. Well not only did the paramedic validate my death or code 3 status, but I was apparently dead for about 20 minutes. I also tried to respond to the paramedic's questions but he did not hear me. This validated to me that I was aware of him, but not in my body.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was definitely real. I have had so much validation from God and other spiritual experiences since my incident. I mean some say your brain was dying it was a hallucination but that doesn't explain the miracles I've witnessed since my experience. Is my brain still hallucinating? They will never know, but God does.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? Jesus is funny and he loves dogs. Most Christians don't want to hear that for some reason.

Are there any other questions that we could ask to help you communicate your experience? You only asked about Jesus , Buddha , and Muhammad. You never asked if I had experiences with angelic presences. The answer would have been YES.
