Experience Description My ex-girlfriend went psychotic. She kicked my head into a concrete wall and knocked me unconscious. I remember that my awareness was sent from my body through some sort of tunnel that suddenly transported me out into space; or what looked like space or the universe. It was infinite and black, except for two gigantic angels and a huge ball of light in between them. The angels looked like archangels. I didn't know what archangels were at the time, but one of them very much resembles art of Archangel Michael. The other one I can't remember much. I remember feeling an incredible peace that I have never experienced in my earthly life. I also felt a safe presence from the space I was in. It also felt like I was protected by the angels. The ball of light, almost like a star, felt like something divine that is hard to explain. Archangel Michael stood on the left and it felt like he was watching over me and almost telling me that I'll be o.k. Suddenly, I remember opening my eyes and immediately being transported back to my body. After this my memory gets a little fuzzy, but I believe I transported back and forth between my body and the other dimension several times in the following minutes. I also remember opening my eyes and seeing my ex-girlfriend. It felt like she was possessed by something demonic. What I experienced out of my body was the complete antidote to that. It feels crazy to me to be writing this as I've never considered myself to be religious or had any interest in religion or Christianity. I still don't consider myself religious, though what I experienced that day is something that could never be transferred into words.

No I clearly left my body and existed outside it How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness? More consciousness and alertness than normal. I felt as though I was part of something much larger. Compared to when I’m in my body, I feel a very thin connection to the world.

In the beginning Were your thoughts speeded up? Faster than usual Did time seem to speed up or slow down? Everything seemed to be happening at once; or time stopped or lost all meaning, Time didn’t feel like a factor. When I passed back into my body, I became aware of the sensation of time in our dimensions Were your senses More vivid than usual? Incredibly more vivid Please compare your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. The size scale had a completely new meaning. The angel beings and the ball had a size much bigger than anything I can imagine. Please compare your hearing during the experience to your everyday hearing that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. I don’t recall any sound Did you seem to be aware of things going on elsewhere? No Did you pass into or through a tunnel? Yes Felt like a vortex tunnel.

No Did you come to a border or point of no return? I came to a barrier that I was not permitted to cross; or was sent back against my will. I felt like the archangels somehow communicated to me that I’ll be ok. They passed me back to my body, completely willingly. I remember feeling at peace when I woke up the day after. Unfortunately that peace didn’t stick much longer than a few days God, Spiritual and Religion: What was your religion prior to your experience? Unaffiliated- Agnostic Have your religious practices changed since your experience? Yes I am more fascinated by religion now.

After the NDE: Was the experience difficult to express in words? Yes I feel I’m putting a massive filter on the experience when I try to describe with drawings or storytelling.

I remember the experience more accurately than other life events that occurred around the time of the experience Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience? Uncertain. I feel maybe certain people I connect more with on a deeper level, though this could be a placebo effect Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful or significant to you? It made me no longer fear death. Prior to the event I was very scared of death and had a lot of anxiety about it. Have you ever shared this experience with others?
