Experience description:
My grandfather was in
hospital and as I waited with him to pass to the next place we inhabit a number
of events occurred that would lead me to my "After Life Experience" I sat with
him over a number of days and towards the end I had an overwhelming need to tell
him not to be scared of dying. Something took me over and I told him that he was
going to a very beautiful place and on arrival all his family would be there
waiting for him. He would be happy and he would be well again. So where did that
come from? I felt a guilt for saying these things because how could I know? Why
did I say this?
The day he passed it
was early morning and I continued with my normal day although very sad I got on
with my scheduled day, this included a reflexology treatment in the evening for
a minor health issue. Shortly after the session commenced I felt a strong force
start to pull my head first in an upwardly motion, a very bright light appeared
all around me. The force continued to lift and drag me away in a tunnel
surrounded in the most beautiful bright light. I felt such happiness like
nothing I had ever known and beauty all around me. I wanted to go I wanted to
continue to see what else was there. I was aware that my friend, the reflexology
technician was calling me back but I still moved on and up. next I was aware
that to continue would mean no return and a guilt came over me, my children what
would happen to them and I returned.
I remember failing back
down with a thud and a fearful face starting at me still holding me feet, I then
heard my grandfather, he told me he had come to thank me, that I was right re
the trip to "heaven", everyone was there he told me happily and he wanted to be
sure I knew I was right. During this time I experienced some symptoms of shock,
shaking especially and was tendered to by my friend. The conversation continued
with my grandfather with my friend at times speaking his words without
understanding why, she remembers doing it but has no knowledge of the words she
was saying.
During the conversation he was able to tell me that there was no point just
telling me he needed to show me so I would truly believe.
Was
the kind of experience difficult to express in words?
Yes This experience was so unbelievable that using words to explain it may
have been seen by others viewing me as unstable, the only saving factor was I
shared part it with a friend and they helped me through the communication
At
the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?
No
At
what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness
and alertness?
When I returned I heard the messages from my grandfather very clearly and they
came via the sounds I was hearing and the actions of my friend whom was with me
at the time. an example of this was when my grandfather spoke to me about his
dog I heard a dog bark as if it were in the room with me.
How
did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience
compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?
More consciousness and alertness than normal
If
your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was
different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please
explain:
When I returned I heard the messages from my grandfather very clearly and they
came via the sounds I was hearing and the actions of my friend whom was with me
at the time. an example of this was when my grandfather spoke to me about his
dog I heard a dog bark as if it were in the room with me.
Did
your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect,
such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of
solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)?
No
Did
your hearing differ in any way from your normal, everyday hearing (in any
aspect, such as clarity, ability to recognize source of sound, pitch, loudness,
etc.)?
No
Did
you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?
Yes
What emotions did you feel during the experience?
So much happiness more than I ever imagined I could have, peace as if
I was going where I was meant to be until I remembered my children and I felt so
guilty that I had to return. Gratitude for the experience and great love
for my grandfather whom shared his new home with me.
Did
you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?
Yes It was a light tunnel with such pure white light, brighter than any
whiteness that I could imagine. The tunnel had a force that pulled me
through it, sort of floating but with more force. I didn't make it out the other
side as I decided to turn back.
Did
you see a light?
Yes I not only seen it, I felt it. It wrapped around me and travelled with
me through the tunnel. So bright and clear.
Did
you meet or see any other beings?
Yes on my return my Grandfather began talking to me. He confirmed that I was
correct in what I had told him the night before in the last hours of his life,
it was true that "everyone" (deceased family) were there waiting for him and it
was so beautiful, which were odd things for my very tough grandfather to say. He
told me he had done this for me to thank me for helping him pass with less fear
and give me confidence that what I had told him was correct.
Did
you experience a review of past events in your life?
No
Did
you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience
that could be verified later?
Yes the conversation with my grandfather was confirmed by me asking
questions of him and my friend answered as if she were him, details only he
could have known came from her mouth
Did
you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or
dimensions?
No
Did
you have any sense of altered space or time?
Yes This experience did seem to go on for a long time but when I reflected
(many times to confirm it really happened) with my friend I did learn that the
whole experience had been much shorter than I believed it was
Did
you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?
Yes I am now not even the slightest bit fazed by death, I am prepared to go
to this wonderful place with confidence and hope. I struggle now to feel any
grief for those whom have died and have as a result struggled with people
feeling grief, I want them to know with absolute confidence as I do that their
lost love ones are perfectly ok and in a far better place. I initially felt that
I should be working in palliative care helping many more people make their
journey in peace and with knowledge then I met someone doing this work and he
talked to me about just about everyone he had nursed through their death had
done this themselves without being told. I still may look to do this but to date
it hasn't happened and I now have learnt to say "everything happens for a
reason"
Did
you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?
No
Did
you become aware of future events?
Yes
Again I will say a door opened and in came the future, this future
included very vivid conversations with those already dead, a sense when bad
things very happening I would be made aware. An example is when a natural
disaster occurred a couple of years later before I even knew about it I had an
overwhelming understanding that a whole lot of souls were all rushing into
"heaven" at the same time. I have days when I have many distractions from the
"voices" but have learnt to ask them to leave me as often their requests and
questions left me feeling very responsible.
Did
you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience
you did not have prior to the experience?
Yes Indeed as mentioned above I started to feel like I was a TV Psychic with
a story for everyone I met, I felt that the phrase" no such thing as a
coincidence" was written about me! My children could get away with nothing
anymore, which is a great parenting tool! My staff were aware I could second
guess them and this did cause some conflict. I even caught my partner out in an
affair! You would have thought he could have trusted my new ability a little
better? But I have been able to pass on some very important and life changing
messages onto many and this has been a very uplifting experience, even shocking
me sometimes as although I have many example that are correct I still have not
settled into absolute belief in my new abilities.
Have you shared this experience with others?
Yes Well my grandfather spoke to me on my return from the light and asked me
to do one thing for him and that was to stop my dad and aunt putting down his
much loved little dog. whilst he lay waiting to enter the light himself my
family debated the dogs future and agreed putting him down was the best option.
My grandfather asked me to stop this. I needed then to explain to my aunt what
had happened the evening after he died and fortunately she believed me. The
little dog remained with her only a short time before he died of illness.
Funnily a short time after he passed my grandfather came to me and told me that
"Benji" was with him, he was so excited and happy!
Did
you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?
Uncertain Well of course I had heard things but believing this was
possible, not even close to understanding
How
did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it
happened:
Experience was definitely real Well I had somebody with me through the
experience, a reflexology technician. Her comment that she felt my life force
leaving my body stays with me always. I remember her calling for me to come back
to her this was very real. The comments she made as if it was my grandfather
happened, she allowed me to have no questions as to the reality of the
experience.
Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or
significant to you?
Confirmation that there is more than just this earth for all beings, a sense
that we have a greater job to do other than what we do here.
How
do you currently view the reality of your experience:
Experience was definitely real this experience has molded me into who I am
now, everything changed and I have a new life now because of it.
Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Yes
I am
more relaxed and accepting, I am less needy and enjoy things that before this
experience held little enjoyment to me. As a result my relationships have
changed and I require less from others and more from myself
Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Yes
I
believe there is a force, maybe like "mother nature" that directs and guides all
living things. A singular force for everything.
Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life,
medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
No
Is
there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?
WOW.............I wish everyone could have an experience like this, what a world
it would be then?
Did
the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and
comprehensively describe your experience?
Yes this questionnaire has allowed me to demonstrate my experience
