my real life 'Near Death Experience' story.

my 'NDE' (near death experience) story".
  
   It all started when I was having dinner at home where I live by myself with my 2 cats. One evening I was sitting at my kitchen table having dinner alone, when suddenly I started to feel very light headed, dizzy and short of breath, so I decided to try and make it to my bedroom so I could lay down and hope it would subside.
   
   My bedroom was down at the end of my hallway, so I decided to take a short cut through one of my spare bedrooms, but I never made it to my bedroom, as I had passed out on the way, and so unbeknownst to me, I was suffering from a heart problem which I did not know I had.
  
   In my spare bedroom  there was a dresser w/drawers, which in this case had no drawers installed in it, and this is where I had collapsed and fell inside of the empty dresser.
  
   Suddenly, at this time something started to happen to me that I did not understand…It was weird…I could actually see myself laying inside of this empty dresser, but for some reason I was looking at myself from way up in the corner of my spare bedroom, it seemed like I was about 50 or 75 feet up in the air and way up in the corner of the room, but the ceilings in my house are only 8 or 10 feet high. When I was looking at myself, I could see myself all curled up in a ball (fetal position) laying inside of this empty dresser.
  
   Then, i could see one of my cats whose name is 'Compass,' walking up to me and lying down next to me. Suddenly, I could see this kind of tunnel like thing or whatever it was, and the sides of this tunnel thing looked like some sort of very bright/shinny corrugated metal, with a very bright kind of bluish/white pulsating light, and the light was similar to a strobe light on high power, except this light was about a 100 times brighter and pulsating 100 times faster than any strobe light, this light was pulsating so fast that it was almost a steady light.   
  
   Next, I could hear/see what sounded like a bunch of people talking, except they were all talking at once, but no words were actually spoken, it was all done through the mind or through my thoughts...I don't know, i can't explain it..Well anyhow, i found myself standing on what I can only describe as being on an endless (end-to-end) concert stage and looking out into the crowd.
   
  Although I could not understand exactly what they were saying, and even though their faces were blocked out by some kind of very bright shine or glare, i knew that they were all calling my name and were all there just for me....It was very confusing.   

  At this time, I found myself traveling to a place that was way-way-beyond my comprehension and also I was no longer feeling the pain that I was feeling before this whole wonderful experience had started. At this place, there was a very strange and powerful feeling of love towards me and it was unlike any feelings of love that I have ever felt before, and I knew that somebody or something was helping me and guiding me through this very strange but very loving journey.   

  Then there was a feeling that came over me, and from this feeling, I automatically knew that this person, thing, or whatever it was had loved me very much, and it felt like this energy was hugging me very tight, even though I could not see a face or tell who or what this was.

  Then ‘BANG’, in a split second, there were hundreds, maybe thousands of people surrounding me, and I knew that they were people who I had never seen before, but for some reason I knew that these people were long time passed away family members whom I had never known, never met or never seen before in my life, and I also knew that they had all died long before I was even born, and I knew that all of these people were there just for me, because I could feel all this love from these people like no other love that I had ever felt before.…I did not want to leave this place.

  Some of the voices were telling me to stay because they have been waiting for me for a long time (even though time did not seem to exsist there), meanwhile others were telling me that i cannot stay and that i must go back. I really wanted to stay at this place, but they would not let me, as they said that I still had important things in my life that I had yet to do....So i agreed to go back.  
   
  While I was at this place, I was totally pain free and felt surrounded by strange people who loved me so very-very much. Then, i could hear this lady's voice who kept saying, "Brian Get Up, You Have To Get Up Brian, Brian Get Up", and as she was saying this to me her voice got louder and louder every time she said it. 
   
  Suddenly, I woke up gasping for air and lying inside this empty dresser where I had seen myself lying before. I was laying in a big pool of sweat and blood, the blood was from all the scrapes and gouges in my back from when I fell inside the empty dresser, and also my cat ‘Compass’ was laying right next to me just like I had watched him do earlier. When I awoke, there was no lady there....Like I said before, “I Live Alone”.
  
  I hope i do not offend anyone when i tell you that, all I know is my experience, and the place where I had just been, totally contradicts what the Bible, the Church and Christianity tell people to believe....I saw or felt ‘No God’, there was ‘No Jesus’, there were 'No Winged Angels' and there was ‘No Blessed Mary’, also I did not go through any 'Pearly Gates, but to this very day every once in a while & just out of the blue i will remember something new about my journey that i did not recall before.   
  Well anyways, about two days later i went to see my doctor, who had ran some tests and confirmed my heart problem.

  So there it is, that is my very real ‘NDE’ story. All i know is that i am not scared or afraid of death, and that I cannot wait to go back to that wonderful & loving place.
And someday many years from now...
"I Will...We All Will."

Thank-You.
