When I was three, I was stricken with a severe fever of unknown origin. As the fever worsened I experienced fits, my eyes rolled back in my head, my body became covered with sores, my tongue had blisters, and I eventually became unconscious. I moved from conscious to unconscious states repeatedly over a 14 day period.
My near-death experience happened when I had been very ill with some sort of virus and a bacterial infection that spread throughout my entire body and left me pretty much bed-ridden for 6-7 months. I remember telling my mom that I was certain I was going to die from this illness.
At 23 I was half asleep & I heard a very LOUD (like electricity) sound and I "saw" a streak of yellow light.
My NDE was the most important event of my life and can be described as INTENSE. One day after my 20th birthday, I was hit head-on by a car while I was riding a bicycle without a helmet. My forehead touched the windshield and in that nanosecond, 20 years of life experience meditated in me and released me to void. Then my soul chose to came back! This is an ultra condensed version of my story, which has shaped my life: CHOOSING TO LIVE and integrating as a new soul.
In 1981, I was involved in a very serious car accident in Germany while serving in the US Army. I broke my left femur in 2 places, broke 6 ribs, collapsed both lungs, had a concussion and was in a coma for 10 days. Right after the accident occurred (I was not driving) as the passengers in the car exited the car they were pulling a lifeless body out of the car and laid it on the ground beside the wrecked car. I felt like I was behind these guys, watching, and was horrified when I saw the lifeless body was mine.
