Thomas D NDE

Experience Description

It was March 30, 2021, and I was going in for surgery first thing in the morning. I was extremely tired hadn't slept and was extremely nervous. They wheeled me into the surgical room, where the doctors went over what they were going to do to me with everybody in the room. When they administered anesthesia, I heard an extremely loud gong going off in my head. Moments later, I was floating above my body and watching the frenzied doctors work on me. I knew things weren't good, but I was being called to go somewhere else. So, off I went. I walked through what seemed like a veil. I saw a sea of orbs with translucent bodies. I was standing on a stage and I looked down. I said, 'Hi' to all my family and friends that had passed the through the veil over the years. One friend, who was very close to me, had passed away 20+ years ago. She gave me the biggest hug and just wouldn't let go of me. Of course, I responded in kind.

This is where things start to get weird. On my left, a door appeared. I recognize the door as my 'pain and anguish' door. It's where we lock up our pain and anguish. My friend told me to hold on to her and I do so. All the people I watched pass away in my life, went through this store with smiles on their faces. They started kicking all the doors down the hallway that were behind my door of anguish. The wave of pain that came at my friend and Is was massive. I had no idea that I had locked up so much pain.

I now try not to do that anymore and I've learned to leave that stuff here on earth where it manifests. I cried uncontrolled for weeks afterwards dealing with this stored-up pain.

The next thing that happened was a bar that appeared over my head and sprayed me with some kind of energy or electricity over me. Afterwards, I looked down and saw a black puddle beside me. I asked my friend, 'What is this?' She replied, 'It's the guilt that I installed on myself because of what she did. You no longer need to carry it anymore. It was not yours to carry.' She was excited and pleased that I released the pain. She gave me more hugs, love, and kisses. She also said for me to, 'Let it go because I couldn't have changed the inevitable.' I told her that I disagree. I let it go because I love her.

I felt a massive feeling of acceptance, understanding, and above all - love. All I could see was white light. I heard hundreds of voices in my head telling me all sorts of things; many of them were confirming what I already knew but wasn't sure. I'm still filtering out those conversations.I'm loving every second of my experience and it is jarring to be ripped out of this beautiful cocoon of love and back into my body. I'm not sure what happened but apparently I left my body again 5 minutes later and was gone for another 5 minutes. I can only summarize that I wasn't done talking to my people but they did give me a choice to stay home or I could come back. I chose to come back.

I came to in the recovery room. My surgeon whispered in my ear that the surgery was canceled because things went sideways and they weren't sure what happened. Then, I open my eyes. All those doctors were standing around me looking shell shocked with eyes looking like plates. I asked if they were okay. The head doctor responded, 'We're fine. You're not. Now, lay down.'

I had to go for tests a couple weeks afterwards. The doctors never came up with anything conclusive as to what really happened. I'm not allergic to anything, although my lungs are poor from working in the mines. So that's what they blamed it on.
