I had my NDE on March 24th, 2016. Holy Thursday. My older sister by two years was fighting a losing battle with breast cancer and it was very hard to watch it punish my parents. I had developed severe LPR heartburn through stress eating. I was going in for an ENT scope and a colonoscopy. My doctor wanted to check for ulcers and the colonoscopy was just a bonus as I was 46 and had never had one done.
After several weeks of tachycardia events that have ramped down in severity and one ER visit about 3 weeks prior to this OOB/NDE:
The light has been with me my whole life. I've had premonitions throughout my whole life. I'm a childhood sexual abuse survivor and the first time the light came to me that I can remember is when I was first abused. On different occasions in my life I went through serious trauma and when I did, I was visited by a light that I would visit myself when I was 21.
I had post-partum pre-eclampsia (I think core eclampsia as well, but wasn’t officially diagnosed). I was lying in bed and couldn’t get up, so tired. And I remember thinking, “I could just die here and I would be at peace.” I didn’t think much of it until much (months/year) later. I was awakened by my spouse and he told me I should get up. I had been napping a while. I felt very unusual, but thought it was probably normal since I just had a baby. But then I got this terrible headache; I couldn’t see. I had to close my eyes and told my spouse there’s something wrong, we had to go to the hospital.
Journey to Expanded Consciousness by Michael Tamura
In each of my 5 near-death experiences, every single one is different. As well as any recall I have from previous lifetime endings, at least for me, and I think it is for a lot of people when each time they die, they're in a different place. They're inside. It's where you are in your consciousness and your spiritual development that you in a sense, you can say ‘go’ to a different space. And it's not ‘go’ as in a geographical going, it's much more inner space of spiritual awareness and energy. And so, each time we die, obviously, we've grown since the last time, as in my experiences, just amongst those five times during the span of eight years from 2004 to 2012. Even though the times in between those deaths were not that long, it wasn't like, you know, one whole lifetime or anything like that.
