Experience Description

At the time of attack I went completely unconscious.

After some time, I experienced a vibrant feeling of traveling in an upward direction along a cool, translucent cylindrically shaped curving pathway. I was able to see thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of glowing candlelight shaped spots of light. I saw the lights only, with no candleholders or lanterns moving freely along outside the translucent wall of the tube in which I was traveling. Every time I would go around one of the curves, I would see a human-shaped white light, appearing and disappearing, slowly blinking, about a hundred yards in front of me. It was traveling at the same speed I was.

I was beginning to be more fully aware of my surroundings and myself. I began to thoroughly enjoy my moving environment. I was feeling wonderful; my senses were keen and my comprehension instantaneous. Suddenly the realization of what was happening hit me, and I became overwhelmed with fear. I remembered my family, my kids and my dependents. I meditated briefly on this. I cried to God, 'Help me! My kids will become orphans, and I will not be able to accomplish my life-goals!' Suddenly my travelling stopped. The human-like shape that had been travelling in front of me came back and started smiling at me. Then I again fell unconscious, or into a semi-trance, for some time.

At some point, I started observing myself drifting slowly down towards my body where it had fallen unconscious into a drain-like area next to the highway, and all the feelings of traveling and being surround by glowing whiteness disappeared. Then I had this feeling that somebody had held (the earthly) me upside down and blinded me and that my head was bloody and surrounded by bees and mosquitoes. I saw nothing but blackness for a moment, and then suddenly I was again inside my own body and feeling a lot of pain. I lay there suffering for some time until a passer-by stopped his vehicle and brought me to the hospital.

I was given stitches in two areas, underwent major surgery, and for a few more months I continued to have a lot of pain in my spine. I wanted to share my experience someday, but it wasn't until recently that I found out about this site. What I have described is only a tiny part of what I experienced, particularly about the immense pleasure I felt before I decided that I must return.
