Walter G NDE

Experience Description:

I was immobile, in the rain, on the lawn, I didn't feel cold or pain. I circled above my body, I looked at myself there, and nobody else was with me. I thought, 'I feel good though I see myself inert and I am not afraid!' To the contrary, I was happy that I felt so good. And then I realized that I was outside of my body. I knew what it felt like to not have to breathe and to not feel the cold. I remember well the sensation of what a wonderful state of being this was. I began moving along for what seemed like a long while, though the amount of time that I spent moving was difficult to determine. I was still out of my body. I heard my wife at home who knew nothing of what was going on with me; I passed through the walls of our house and heard her voice. She was speaking softly, quietly with her mother. They were in the kitchen, but I heard her very well. Even from where I was at one hundred meters away in the rain. My wife and her mother didn't see me and didn't hear me.

I realized then that I was dead. But that didn't bother me. Slowly but surely the meaning of the physical world became irrelevant. And it was as if I was forgetting who I was, and whom I had been. In an instant, something happened. I saw myself in my mother's womb two months before my birth, I had a desire to eat fruit, I remember very well my life review, it went on until my death, aromas, perfumes, sensations, forgotten memories, when I was suckling, everything in a short moment. It seems that in that state time does not exist. I was definitely in another spiritual dimension. My life since then has totally changed. I know that our souls use our physical bodies to enact Mysteries. I was given a great gift, this superior knowledge and freedom from fear of death. Then I saw the tunnel of indescribable intense light, I was a drop of light in an ocean of light. The mind disappeared. Then a name came to me, 'Luca' the name of my son. I returned to my body, there I was on the ground, pain piercing my shoulder, torso and feet, terrible pains. And here I am with you.
