"I Went To The Other Side!" A Near Death Experience! (True Story!)

strange but true stories tales from the light side the dark side and the other side I'm Steve white we are all on a journey some of us are on a fairly straight path while others are taking the more security route many of us are enjoying a grand adventure and saw maybe just along for the ride but most of us wonder what waits for us at the end is there something beyond this life what will it be like if there is something on the other side will we see loved ones again that have gone before us there are some who claim to have glimpsed life after death to have touched the other side and for whatever reason returned back to this realm when the memory of the experience still intact this story first appeared on in de RF org in 1965 I was eight years old and growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley in a town called El Monte I was riding my bike one day with my best friend Felix along a busy street I was on the right side of the road going with the flow of traffic my friend was on the opposite side riding in the same direction I needed to cross the street to join him so I looked over my shoulder to watch for oncoming cars because of the curve in the road I couldn't see much more than a hundred feet the speed limit on this road was 40 miles per hour but people often drove much faster than that so I knew that I didn't have enough sight distance to safely cross I realized that Felix would be able to see further than I could so I called out to him hey see any cars coming he looked back shook his head and said all clear I veered sharply to the left across the last thing I remember was the sound of screeching tires looking over my shoulder and seeing the front end of a 1962 Chevy Impala not more than 10 feet away blue gray smoke was coming up from the sides as the brakes locked up the tires the next thing I remember was the sensation of floating about 20 feet up in the air I looked down and saw some kid lying in the middle of the road he looked familiar he was lying there spread-eagled left leg was at a funny angle his clothes were ripped and bloody he wasn't breathing I felt a strange sense of calm and detachment as if the horrible scene below me really wasn't important I watched as several people ran up to the boy one of them started breathing into his mouth I could hear him speaking with two voices that's odd I thought to myself I heard him say call an ambulance he's not breathing I could also hear him say oh my god oh my god don't die on me at the same time I realized that he was thinking this not saying it I could hear others thinking as well yet I could make out everything they all were saying or thinking at the same time and still being able to understand all of it I watched this scene for what seemed like about a minute then I noticed a bright light shining above me I looked up and saw light streaming out of what looked like a pinhole in the sky the hole was slowly getting bigger I could see that it distorted things around it like a Lin spending light the light was like mother-of-pearl in color with streaks of blue pink green and yellow gold it was very beautiful and very bright yet I could see it clearly not like looking at the light from the Sun which can be uncomfortable I started to hear a buzzing sound that quickly became very loud as the sound increased the hole above me got bigger the light got brighter and I felt myself being pulled up towards it I felt as if I was being squeezed through an opening that was too small for me the buzzing sound became a wishing roar as I entered the hole with a Doppler like effect as I passed through it the sensation was like speeding down a tunnel at Lightspeed not unlike the warp effect you see in movies I wasn't alone in there either I felt the presence of others but I couldn't see them a pass through some kind of dividing line a barrier of sorts hard to describe I was surrounded by light misty shapes began to form as I looked around at first they were just moving swirls of light but they soon took the shape of human forms there were a lot of them around me I heard soft whispering coming from them like a crowd murmuring and talking among themselves from this crowd three shapes came forward and approached me as they drew near I could make them out better as if they were slightly out of focus and my eyes were adjusting they were tall and slender wearing what looked like flowing robes one of them had a beard they all had long shoulder length hair one of them spoke to me you're not supposed to be here yet you have to go back know what you agreed to he said I told him that I didn't want to go back I liked it here it felt like home I felt like they were amused by my response you must go back you have work to do we'll send you back soon I looked around me at the crowd I saw familiar faces these were friends family enemies people I had known before but I couldn't remember from where or when some of them I knew I had known for a very long time many lives many places many times I flashed on visions from those lives and events there was a continuity and connectedness about all of it a sense of purpose an order that spanned the centuries I looked back at the three people in front of me these people were ancient I don't know how I knew that but I knew that they were old souls who watched over my group we all had sprung from them like children each going their way yet connected to the source I felt nothing like judgment of our actions from them if anything I felt a kind of amused benevolence from them like parents watching their children playing even if the really bad things we did in our lives there was no judgment the one with the beard spoke to me you can ask questions we will answer them and you will remember it is important that you do this my first question was is this heaven it can be if that's what you want it can be hell as well if that's what you believe this reality is an extension of you instantly realized and formed you always create your own reality no matter where you find yourself for we are co-creators where is God I don't see him I asked they became visibly amused like they were snickering at my question under their breath how can you see that which you are yourself a part of we are all expressions of God when you see with your eyes you see through the eyes of God and he experiences reality through yours when you speak to God you speak to yourself we are one and the same there is no division or separation you can no more see God than your hand and see you for it is a part of you and functions because of you and for your purposes as well as its all there is no separation any that seems to exist is an illusion the light that surrounds us here is God it is our source of being and is given freely to all next question why do I feel like this is home because it is all begin here and return here it is the starting point for all journeys and lessons a strange question I still don't know why I asked it but at the time it seemed relevant when I come back again can I stay I got an even stranger answer we don't think you'll want to stay though you never do you love your lessons especially the hard ones you can do as you please it's your choice this went on for what seemed like an hour I asked 15 questions that covered a wide variety of topics and ideas some of them I would rather not discuss either they're of a personal nature things most of us aren't ready to hear or things I'm not supposed to talk about yet one day I'll maybe write a book about it after the last question I was told it was time to go back I still didn't want to go back but because of what I knew I didn't argue the point I don't remember any kind of specific event that got me there but I suddenly found myself in an ambulance I felt a terrible rush of pain throughout my whole body I felt like I was choking it was a tube in my throat I smelled and tasted blood I looked over at the attendant sitting next to me and I was hit with a very strong sense of deja vu it was a memory of a dream I had a couple of days before this very scene was in it I remember one thing that really stood out two words I remember here are a few questions and answers from Richards near-death experience did you feel separated from your body yes I clearly left my body and existed outside it how did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compared to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness more consciousness and alertness than normal I was able to be in multiple places at the same time and experience events and conversations on many levels at once I had no problem with keeping track of these multiple experiences the sense of time seemed to be much more expansive kind of like a moment point that has stretched out both into the future and the past at the same time where your thoughts speeded up incredibly fast the time seemed to speed up or slow down everything seemed to be happening at once or time stopped or lost all meaning as described in my narrative above time seemed to be stretched out I like to use the term expansive because it seems better suited to the experience where your sense is more vivid than usual incredibly more vivid did your vision differ in any way from normal when I was floating above my body I could see 360 degrees around me at the same time but I only seem to focus on a smaller visible area similar to my normal physical vision people I saw below me appeared to have a kind of streakiness about them kind of like being smeared when they moved colors seem normal no transparency noted did your hearing differ in any way from normal during the OBE none noted during the events immediately afterward when I was on the other side I heard sounds inside my head as opposed to coming from outside like normal hearing did you feel a sense of harmony or unity with the universe I felt United or one with the world it seems from your past come back to you my past flashed before me out of my control I experienced life events from the past but they didn't relate to my present life I also experienced events from the future as well both in this life and future lives what was your religion prior to your experience liberal Lutheran have your religious practices changed since your experience yes I no longer attend church it is a waste of time and energy God isn't interested in being worshiped he's only interested in our experiences and our growth what is your religion now none during your experience did you gain special knowledge or information about your purpose yes everything is connected there is no separation between us and what we describe as God what's the experience difficult to express and words yes some elements of the experience are difficult to translate adequately into words the feeling of experiencing multiple points of view and events simultaneously is one example do you have any psychic non-ordinary or other special gifts about your experience that you did not have before the experience yes very empathic I can easily sense feelings and emotions and other people even total strangers when they are physically close to me those that I have a close emotional bond with I can sense at very far distances I also have many prophetic dreams about events in my life and global events have you ever shared this experience with others yes the first time I related this experience it was the pastor of my church he dismissed the experience outright and told me it must have been a dream it was many years before I told anyone else most people I tell seem very skeptical what did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly days two weeks after it happened experience was definitely real it happened it was real I fully remembered all of the events as I was told I would I remember them all just as clearly to this day is there anything else that you would like to add

Why does nobody ask: what is the meaning of life? What is the reason for souls learning through experience? Can't they be created fully loaded with all available knowledge? edit: grammar
