I remember looking down and having my whole life explained, to feeling the love of the people in my life, and most of all feeling like I had a choice to live. The light was hypnotic, persuading you to enter but the feeling of love felt stronger. -- Nora's

A roaring noise began to escalate and within an instant, I became aware of an intense bright Light off in the distance and I turned my focus toward its captivating dance. The Light’s prism of energy and illumination began to spiral and grow and I immediately put forth all my senses into its hypnotic allure. I began to feel the most utterly peaceful, loving sensation and I yearned to move toward and inhabit this Light and the love it emanated. I -- Peg A

Perhaps it was a euphoric trance of some kind. It was as if a Spirit had consumed my whole being. I felt as if I had automatically become “Super Holy”! I almost felt like I became all knowing of everything once again. I had no questions because I knew all the answers. I was feeling God-like, and powerful. I felt like I had a direct connection to the powers that heal. I couldn’t even believe the way I was feeling, but for some reason, it all seemed to come together. -- Gene J

I was watching those eyes and I could hear people talk but it was as if in a trance gazing at that elderly man. -- Cristina

Suddenly my travelling stopped and the human-like shape who had been travelling in front of me came back and started smiling at me. Then I again fell unconscious, or into a semi-trance, for some time. At some point I started observing myself drifting slowly down towards my body where it had fallen unconscious into a drain-like area next to the highway, and all the feelings of traveling and being surround by glowing whiteness disappeared. Then I had this feeling that somebody had held (the earthly) me upside down and blinded me and that my head was bloody and surrounded by bees and mosquitoes. -- Sreenivasa M

I remember being taken aback by how beautiful everything was. I was very happy because I knew I was on my way to heaven. While I was taking in all of this scenery, I felt like I was almost in a trance. -- Genny H

I had no body, but I did seem to have a hand. I can't explain it but I could see everything all around me, above, all around. I could feel the irritation and soullessness of the 5 bodies around me, they were cranky dumb flesh beings falling apart but never allowed to rest. The one in the center had a hypnotic pull with his eyes, he was mocking me for something. Like I had lost a bet with him. Nothing evil, just like an old friend chiding you for doing something stupid andstubborn, and being warned about it, but doing it anyway. -- Tina

One of the guards entered the porch saying: “I’ll go see if God has time for you”. I waited 15 minutes, half an hour, one hour but the guard didn’t come back. Suddenly he returned through the gleaming porch and I asked him: “Is God going to see me now please”? He answered: “Dear Eric, God absolutely does not have time for you yet, so He can not see you”. I begged him to allow me to stay up there for I wanted to keep the feeling of bliss. But the guard told me: “God gave me explicit orders to send you back to earth because you still have an important task there”! I was a little discouraged by this but the feeling of bliss was still there. -- Eric R

a feeling of liberation opposite the death, or even a feeling of invulnerability. At the time, one has the impression a little intoxicating to have won a fight against the grim reaper. Nothing else on earth can get to you. A feeling like a light euphoria. -- David W

I'm sure some sort of deal was forged that day, but instantaneously I was overcome with a euphoric feeling of what I can only describe as complete contentment. Exactly after that brief period of time I have had no fear of death, and welcome it when it is my time. It is my understanding that I have a destiny that must be achieved before it is my time to die, and with that understanding, I have learned that I am almost completely free. -- Joe D

I felt confused at first, but I just went with it, for there was nothing else I could do. It was what it was. I felt purely awesome. That feeling was better than any drug on Earth. I just felt great, with an indescribable, eternal, never-ending, awesome, greatness. -- Mary H
