I am constantly thrilled to discover that someone has given a lifetime of study to some aspect of some of the "UNIVERSAL" knowledge & wisdom that was "downloaded" into my "heavenly" spirit, soul, light-being.

I distinctly remember knowing every answer to every question there ever was and ever would be and that all negative feelings and emotions felt on this material plain was meaningless and futile. I spent an eternity wallowing in a universe of knowledge that made me whole, connected and an integral part of everything that had ever existed, past present and future. I felt what love really is, not an emotion but knowledge and it was housed in every gene that my identity and awareness was composed of. I welcomed such a feeling with eager open arms like a long lost friend. It resonated with being back in my mother’s womb, safe and out of harm’s way and I had no cares in the world. -- Frank G

The light then told me you are here to learn how to love and to gain knowledge. When I was told this all the implications of the word love and knowledge were imparted to me. With the word love it wasn't just about physical love but the love of nature, accepting all people as the same, everything that pertained to love. The same was with knowledge. It wasn't just about book knowledge but about learning about different cultures, histories of the world etc. I felt when I was told this that it wasn't just my reason for being on earth but all of our reason for being here, mankind. -- Barbara S

The feelings of "all knowledge" and pre-birth feelings during NDEs are because of the holographic nature of the experience. In a hologram, where everything is connected to everything else, where everything is cross correlated, and where nothing is separated, all one has to do is think of a thing, and it appears. -- Jorge V

I realized/felt/knew somehow, that there was something in that tunnel and I also knew and felt that whatever it was, is now accessing those shards that had come out of me. I knew that those shards contained all my information; everything I had ever touched or tasted, every word and thought, every breath every heartbeat, and every emotion. Everything I had ever experienced was all there, and it had all been downloaded and absorbed.

Whatever was in this tunnel was quite interested in my life experiences. For some reason, it seemed to be very interested in the emotions that I had experienced in my life. I could tell that it had taken a very special interest in the negative emotions I had carried in my life. It was very interested in the emotional pain that my depression had inflicted upon me in life. I wondered, 'Why???.' -- Kevin L

I moved in deeper and I saw a wall of books that spanned as far as the eye can see. As I moved closer to read the labels on the books, it quickly went blurry. All I saw was Roman numbers. At that same time, the energy that came out of the books was energy that covered me inside and out. When I tried to focus on the wall of books again, it was a weird sensation that I knew everything contained in the wall of books. I knew past, present and future. I started to back away from the wall and out of the pure white spirit, back into the tunnel, and into my body. -- Frank A

When I felt myself expanding and realizing that I was returning to the source of all love and all wisdom. -- Demi B
