My essence, my spirit, "I" was slowly drifting towards a faint and distant light. I could see planet earth, small, off in the distance to my right.
Near Death Experience
In 1976 I was in a motorcycle accident in which my left leg was snapped off
at the knee by a tree. Still conscious and waiting for an ambulance, I was able
to stop the bleeding for a short time before I had to let it continue because of
the pain. This went on until help arrived. I had lost so much blood by the time
I got to the hospital that I recall losing consciousness as I was carried out of
the ambulance.
I could hear the medics' voices for just a short time, and then I was feeling
weightless. No pain, no hot or cold, no body. My essence, my spirit, "I" was
slowly drifting towards a faint and distant light. I could see planet earth,
small, off in the distance to my right. There seemed to be an invisible wall
between me and the life dimension I had just left. I knew with certainty that I
could not return that way. Nor did I have any desire to go back.
Questions arose in my mind quickly and were answered just as quick by myself, as
if I had some new kind of knowledge. I seemed to know everything. I knew without
a doubt that I would see my family and loved ones when they passed. Not years
from then, but as soon as I got to where I was headed. Time as known on earth,
such as a human's life span, was a mere grain of sand on a large beach. We all,
humans, had no need to worry. It was as if earth were just a level we all had to
pass through on our way to a peaceful and more beautiful plane of existence. It
was serene, all loving, all knowing, like being born to a brand new world, not
as an infant, but as a knowledgeable, understanding being.
Then, without a signal, sign or thought, I found myself on a stretcher with a
medical crew working on me. Pain, fear and awe all surrounded me at the same
time. To this day, I have never felt anything even close to what I felt in that
moment. No joy or drug on earth could even compare with the feeling of security
and confidence I had then.
Sometimes I feel like I can't wait to go there again, but I know I have to wait
until my existence here is finished. I do not fear death for I know partially
what waits beyond. The only aspect of death I may fear is how it will come
about, and even then, it will be just a tiny event in the scheme of my
existence.
