Annette IF's Experience
|
Experience description:
I simply have to tell
it, but after reading so many accounts here, I don't know if my experience fits
NDE. So what happened to me actually??? I Know that I wanted to give up, I know
that I didn't feel good, I had many fears and problems at home, but I didn't
think at suicide, but I was in a state of depression that was robbing my life
force, preventing me to cope with the daily problems. One evening we were
sitting on the couch when I suddenly felt that somebody touched my arm... I was
sure about it, I felt it very clearly... and told my husband about it (he
commented, that it was the djinns that are constantly around us in another
dimension)...later I went to bed, but I didn't sleep, my toddler slept with me
in my bed, I looked after him, I laid down and heard very distinctly a male
voice saying: "Now come, open yourself up, and surrender to the adventure....I
open my legs, I don't know why, so embarrassing, I bet with "open up" was meant
something different.... suddenly I see 2 persons in my sleeping room. Diagonally
above me...like standing in the air, in fact not completely but only from the
feet up to the hip. One had no shoes and a long white dress, of the other person
I saw beautiful boots covered with green brocade, a part of a green gleaming
coat and half of a sword, seemingly fixed at the belt. I immediately identified
the prophets Jesus and Muhammad. No doubt. Instead of doing something
respectful, I thought 'what are you Muhammad needing a sword in the peaceful
heaven??? Why so much pomp with the clothes???'
The "Vision"
disappeared, I blamed myself and started to sleep later, but with a bad
conscience because I thought about this, and that I didn't show regard and
respect.
Early in the morning I
woke, but was still laying with my child, here it starts again... coming down
upon me (from above) the prophet Muhammad!!! Like being in a misty cloud,
outside of the cloud everything was completely black. A beautiful young man with
black curly hair till the ears, BAREFOOTED and in a poorly white prayer
robe...same as my son is using for prayer!!!!! He remained standing in front of
me, life size, entirely and genuine like a human and not like a ghost. He had
one eye brow raised and his facial expression said: 'you cannot be serious???' I
wasn't able to do anything, I didn't greet him, nor said anything at all, I just
looked at him until he simply dissolved. I immediately went to my sons room and
checked his prayer robe, it had a small hole at the same place as just before
the prophet's!
I cannot now recall the
exact sequence, I was laughing and was sad, I scared my family, they asked me
what was going on, I behaved very strange, I could laugh one moment and some
seconds later cry, somebody told me something, but I don't know what he said!
Until the evening! I laid down... and see Jesus, his face in front of me!!!! I
got such a wonderful feeling of being loved. My body felt like being stroked in
waves, I don't know to explain it, it was a kind of waves, energetic waves,
waves of warmth as if somebody would run his hand over my body, from feet up to
the head, again and again. But it was being felt as extremely pure love. Love
here with us is only a word, the love that I was allowed to experience, you
cannot even compare it to being in love, maybe a million times stronger! I saw
him and was loved by him, so beautiful, I know that I was like paralyzed, I
couldn't move, I was unable to make any movement. I know that those love waves
were lasting more than one hour, as I was hearing the sura Al Imran, and it
lasts more than one hour. I then must have fallen to sleep.
The feeling of being
loved, being accepted, being comforted, that's what it was. Beautiful. His face
so beautiful, his hair went to his shoulders, they had the color of hazelnut,
like streaked with highlights from brown to golden and so beautifully shining!
In his face so much compassion and love, you just wanted to be loved by him!
In the evening the love
waves repeated, but I didn't see him, but, I don't know how, I saw how small
winged beings (I too thought I was crazy) were hammering an opening in my head
(a door), through this door, it only opened half, a wonderful light started to
shine. I could understand if you wouldn't want to continue reading, but you
wanted it honest, so I have to write also about those things that I would prefer
to conceal, as they are not easing the matter.
This happened during
the day, so I was awake, I didn't dream, but I know that I thought I was going
insane. I saw again the face of the prophet Muhammad and beside him the face of
a woman, looking as if covered with nacre, very nice to see and a headscarf, but
not one as the Muslimas wear them nowadays, but the way we know them from
medieval times, or like the nuns, with a stiff bonnet under it, and besides also
the face of Jesus. I don't know who the woman was, but I think it was Aisha. I
saw myself in oversize walking on the planet earth, in my hand I also had a
sword and there I heard very distinctly, lovingly:
Hold your horses!
I had those love waves
surrounding me, it was so beautiful being accepted.
Through my head
thoughts passed, like "what happened, why me, what was that for, who am I, that
I get such honor, I'm just a nobody from a small town, insignificant. I was
alternately crying and happy.
My leg hurt and when I
laid down to sleep I heard that I was told: turn the other side... I felt
pressure points on my leg, in the morning I discovered 2 small blue dots, but my
leg didn't hurt anymore.
So many things
happened, but I don't know the sequence anymore, but it continued like this. In
the evening Jesus came again and I talked with him, not with the mouth, but very
clearly through thoughts, it was different as hearing voices like in the
beginning of my experience. I know that I was crying terribly, as he was showing
me my sins, while he showed me greatest love and compassion that can be
classified easily. As compassion came from his loving face. He actually said the
words that are also in the Bible:
Better to loose an eye
than to be cast into hell...( it suited my sin)
my eye was hurting so
much after this, I was rubbing it all the time and begged that they should
please let me keep my eye...I don't know how long the pain lasted, I just know
that I begged that it was enough and then I heard:
Go to the window and
let fresh air come in. That's what I did and the pain actually left.
Now my mood changed. I
became mad as hell, I was so mad and disappointed, felt betrayed, and said it
loud! I said, one cannot trust anyone of you, how can you after so much love let
me feel so much shame. The shame in front of Jesus was so big, I cannot find
words for it, never again do I want to experience something like this, and I
will not do it again. I actually was so mad that I got cramps of weeping, the
crying was extremely hysterical and I was screaming that if it is like this,
then I don't want to talk anymore to you Jesus and not to you too Muhammad,
if... then only with God!!!!!!! THIS KIND OF TREATMENT IS NOT WORTHY!!!! (this
sentence is later important as proof). I know that I felt a stronger presence
of persons, like being under observation, I had difficulties going to toilet, to
change clothes, to undress getting naked, I felt under observation and felt
shame. I didn't like this so I said: I feel watched and that's something I don't
like. I heard: we can leave, do you want hat? I got frightened, as in truth I
didn't want that at all! My face was held tight so, that I couldn't move away
from the mirror, I understood this in the way that I should learn to love
myself, I was winding, didn't want to look, my face was swollen of all the
crying and for sure I was not pretty (this caused that today I'm not wearing
make-up anymore, what would have been unthinkable before, leaving the house
without any make-up)
While showering in the
tub it happened. I had no light on (but I do this often) I felt an unknown
feeling, it was like prickling, but beautiful, starting at my upper legs up to
the vagina (yes I know) sliding higher up into the body, I felt so nicely warm,
such a wonderful feeling that I never before was allowed to feel. I fell in an
ecstasy, love went through me, I was overwhelmed by love, embraced, pure love,
not a shameful feeling even though I was moaning because of the emotions. There,
someone, a voice was talking, so awesome, that I sank to my knees under the
shower just by the sound of it! I heard: so many emotions! so much love! well,
you daughter of Islam, so I'm a Diamond for you!!!!(Then a laughter that I
sensed as a loving mockery?!!!!!!!!
I know that there was
more saying, but I just remember this. How long I was kneeling there I don't
know, at the end the feeling went away and I had a strong prickling in my left
hand, it was so strong that I feared getting paralyzed if the prickling would
reach my heart. It stopped and while climbing out of the tub I heard a male
voice that said: don't talk about this to your husband and sisters! What
happened in the bath, I knew was God. I have a proof of this for myself.
I was indeed under
shock and didn't want to think about the event due to fear (it's impossible that
God talked to me!!) but later I got the proof when I admitted the thoughts of
what I didn't want to admit.
Before the whole
experience started, I was singing a song of Rihanna, I love to sing (for myself)
I was singing the song 'diamonds' with a different text, to honor God, the text
was as follows...
You are so beautiful
like a diamond in the night, so shine brightly for me... and so on... and God
asked me the question: am I like a diamond for you!!! Wow wow wow. I went to
bed, felt love again, I said I will be purring like a cat and heard as an
answer... she is purring like a cat (laughter). I saw Jesus again, from head to
waistline, surrounded by a beautiful light and then very close to me only his
arms, thus only his arms without him, forming like an embrace, so close that I
saw the color, the slightly crimped form of the hair and the beautiful fabric of
his white clothes, I know that my first thought was: He has so strong arms (yes
truthfully the first thought). I was embraced by him, wow, what a fantastic
feeling, I said to myself unbelievable, unbelievable. But he corrected me: not
unbelievable, as it is true, rather tell what is not fitting your head :).
Caused by the embrace a warmth spread, it went through my whole body, was
strongest in my chest area, it was so pleasant, so purely loving! Preferably I
would not do anything else than staying in his arms...and now I experienced his
humor, as I saw him again from head to waist and he asked with a smile: WAS THIS
WORTHY???? and was gone........my hysterical fit of rage and despair was
countered with love and embrace, how thankful I am for this. I love him so
much. I asked why all this happened, BECAUSE HE WANTED IT THIS WAY, HE WANTED IT
THIS WAY.
Now I was in a
beautiful light, but I don't know how I arrived there, I even don't know how I
left my body, but I must have done it, as I was in the light, I only know that I
existed, I was there, but disembodied as if being a thought, a consciousness
merged with beautiful, golden, warm, loving light. The light was everywhere, I
felt oneness, fusion, if you jump in a pool then you have a nice feeling how the
water is enveloping you, the light also enveloped you but it also permeated you,
completely everything, the whole body that I didn't see. The light was
everywhere, wherever I could see, there was nothing else than the light. No idea
how long it lasted, but I had my thoughts back, that is to say I was conscious
being in my body, and I begged: please inscribe this feeling in my heart, I
don't want to go away, I don't want to go away, as there I was at home. That's
the way I was feeling. I asked (I don't know why, you just always think the most
honest thought, therefore there are no misunderstandings) will I someday go to
the Kaaba??? With a loving amused voice I got the answer : Silly, you were much
closer than that!
In a "Vision" Jesus
showed me (I don't know the moment anymore, in the light? after? before?) that I
need not have fear, I would not go back alone. I saw a scene like a movie in
which I was acting, it was just a short episode of a street (beginning and end
was black), from the left came a group of people wearing security uniform,
similar to police, but in dark blue. A woman came out of the crowd and smiled to
me, I was standing helpless near my bicycle that was secured with a coded lock
and I could not open it. When I saw the security people I thought that (I only
thought it, I didn't talk loud),I hope that they will not control me, as they
might find out that I take drugs!!!! (I don't take drugs, but sometimes I smoke
pot, and you can ask anybody who is smoking it, such an experience cannot happen
from pot, if you now think having found an answer for my experience:)) (again
the most honest thought, that you would like to hide far away) This woman had
been hearing my thought, she looked at me, pulled her head slightly back and
just laughed, then she pointed with her hand to the right, there was a blonde
man coming towards me, wearing jeans, and a fisher jacket I believe. He looked
at me, didn't talk, opened the lock, there were 3 numbers showing up, that I
noted later, but didn't know what they meant or if they have any meaning at all,
and then everything was gone, except the hands of the man and mine bound
together.
I understood it the way
that he was my "angel" or my "spiritual guide".
Until today I very
often feel a touch and a heatwave mostly on my arm, and connect it with him.
Some more things
happened in relation with dreams, thoughts, verses of the Qur'an and the Bible,
songs, but it takes too long to give a detailed view. In any case I want to
describe what happened during the day. I had a doctors appointment at a
pediatrician (woman), I went there and when I saw her I had to stare all the
time at her, which she noticed. In her eyes I saw acute confusion. The hair of
the doctor was shining in colorful electric streams, it was very beautiful to
look at and I know that I thought, wow how beautiful she is. Everything of her
was beautiful. She is an elderly woman with many wrinkles in her face and I
thought, wow, how beautiful is her face, beautiful and alive! On the way back
home, I heard: don't go straight home, I made a little detour and stopped, or
better I was turned as it was another direction, on a wall was a Jewish star, a
panel in honor of, and as a memory of victims dying in war, above this engraved
in the wall, Jesus spreading his hands. I pass this place quite often but never
looked at this. I heard very clearly: YOUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS, go back to your
first thoughts!
During the day I heard
clearly wing beats, but didn't see anything, I just thought that somebody was
flying away, very peculiar sound, many wing beats at the same time, but from a
being or angel. Why I was thinking, "now, the angel of death has flown away" I
don't know....later I heard a voice WELL NOW YOU ARE A WELL GUIDED MUSLIMA AND
YOUR RELIGION IS THE ISLAM, BUT NOT FANATICAL.
It was the 15th of
February and I saw Jesus for the last time, he was floating above me wearing a
white robe with a purple sash, spread his hands and only said one word: LIVE.
Then he was gone and I didn't hear any voices anymore and didn't see anything
anymore. Only when I'm hard up, I feel a love wave coming, but not in any way
comparable with the feelings during the experience
Love waves are unknown
in my normal state, to describe the phenomena as a power wave, an electric wave
is just an attempt
1.Love
2.Compassion
3.Being alive
4.Truth/it was a
feeling not a word/
5.Peace
6.Feeling of happiness
times 1000
7.Embarrassment
several times I heard a
male voice
I heard an AWESOME but
loving voice that I identified as the voice of God.
bear everything
patiently
don't give in to
sadness
have no fear
I know that after the
experience, ranting and cursing, brought about a real disgust in me, it even
hurt me having to hear something like this.

very few, my sister had
her birthday on 9th of February and I had to ask her later if I had been
congratulating her etc.
Before the experience I
was very religious, that is I tried to do my 5 prayers strictly as per time plan
(not to pray would make a bad conscious) I absolutely believed in the Qur'an, I
understood everything in the Qur'an. I accepted the Qur'an as the absolute truth
and discussions with believers of other beliefs left always disputes or a bad
taste. I had great fear, not of death but of hell, when I was reading the
Qur'an and there was a place talking about hell (and there are many) I was
scared that it meant me ( in my experience I was 'punished' with pain in the
eye, but I know that it is functioning differently, I was punishing myself as in
my great shame I could not forgive myself my sin, pain was the state, therefore
Jesus had so much compassion during this)
Now a year has passed,
I have difficulties praying ( I like to pray when I want it), some things of the
Qur'an I do not understand (but I forgot to write what Jesus said to me!! just
continue reading the Qur'an, if you don't understand just go over it, sometime
you can come back to this place in order to understand). (Very interesting) I
also don't wear a headscarf anymore, what I never would have thought possible. I
wondered that I was being told that I would remain a Muslima (probably so the
family would be kept together), as I now accept all beliefs, I find that I'm
very tolerant (cannot talk about everything with my husband, this is sad, as I
have to hide many, ( my meaning), simply because he is not able to handle, to
understand it, not open enough.)
Understanding if
somebody is acting bad.
2) my husband that the
prophets visited me, not in detail, when I tried we had a quarrel
3)after all to my
sisters, that was a mistake, I better should have listened to what the voice
said :) I said to my sister, hey I talked to Jesus and saw him...she didn't want
to listen and was threatening with a psychiatrist
4) I told it to my
Islamic sister - I had better not done, to her and the Muslimic world I was
visited by Satan who turned me away from Islam.
5) an older woman who
finds things like this very interesting and is reading many books about this
topic, as I also do now :)
6) Am in a group with
FB and we exchange between us (a benefaction)
What could a national
organization with an interest in near death experience (NDE) do that would be of
interest to you?
maybe we could build
centers where interested persons could exchange?
At the time of
your experience was there an associated life-threatening event?
Uncertain
I cannot
answer this, I guess I was sick, I clearly heard a voice saying (commanding)
BREATH! I felt extremely cold, I had a thick winter cover around myself and
rubbed myself against the heating, but the shaking would not stop.
Was the
experience difficult to express in words?
Yes
It was very
emotional, I use the words LOVE, PURITY, TRUTH, BEING ALIVE, to describe
feelings :)
At
what time during the experience were you at your highest level of
consciousness and alertness?
I was alert
and conscious, everything was extremely real, it also happened during the day
when I didn't sleep for sure, when I was brought into the light I probably had
no consciousness as I don't know how I got there, but during the time in the
light, I had the highest awareness ever.
How did your
highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to
your normal everyday consciousness and alertness?
Normal consciousness
and alertness
same as # 3
Please compare
your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had
immediately prior to the time of the experience.
honestly, I don't know what I did during the day, after the experience I had a
lot of work, as my household was untidy, I really had not done much. My family
also told me that I behaved strange, was laughing, crying, was laying in bed and
was praying.
Please compare
your hearing during the experience to your everyday hearing that you had
immediately prior to the time of the experience.
I heard
voices that were very real
Did you see or
hear any earthly events that were occurring during a time that your
consciousness / awareness was apart from your physical / earthly body?

very clear to me, but it was also already before the experience, that after
DEATH we will continue.
During your
experience, did you encounter any specific information / awareness that God or a

During your
experience, did you encounter any specific information / awareness regarding
earthly life�s difficulties, challenges, or hardships?
Uncertain
In a
discussion I heard:
During your
experience, did you encounter any specific information / awareness regarding
love? Yes
This is now
strongly anchored in me, give as much love as you can to everybody. Very
important was for me when Jesus called my attention to the Jewish panel, to make
no differences between nations and people.
During your
experience, did you encounter any other specific information / awareness that
you have not shared in other questions that is relevant to living our earthly
lives? No

What occurred
during your experience included:
Content that was
entirely consistent with the beliefs you had at the time of your experience
How accurately
do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred
around the time of the experience?
I remember the
experience more accurately than other life events that occurred around the time
of the experience
very clearly : the
experience
Discuss any
changes that might have occurred in your life after your experience:
Thank you for
this question!
My experience directly resulted in:
Large changes
in my life
Did you have any changes in your values or beliefs after the experience that
occurred as a result of the experience?
Yes
Tolerance
Do you have any
psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did
not have before the experience?
Uncertain
I have the
gift to feel touch and can connect with it, heatwave is overflowing me, but I
cannot control it myself.
Are there one or several parts of your experience that are especially meaningful
or significant to you?
I have been thinking a
lot about it, it was not so easy in the beginning, I was helped a lot. I
probably had some fears that 'I betrayed Jesus', when I converted to Islam. I
also missed him in my life. Now I don't have any fear to say it, say it loud I
LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Have you ever shared this experience with others?
Yes
1) still in
the time when the experience happened I had tried to send an e-mail to my
girlfriend, she didn't know what I wanted. The e-mail is there until today and I
also cannot understand it, I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't wrap it in the
right words
Did you have
any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?
Yes
I don't think
that I was influenced, as I already believed in God and in existence after
death... and I was reading a book "90 Minutes in heaven" and know that I was
mocking it, hahahaha what's that, a priest coming into heaven and not meeting
any God... in some way I was reminded about this during my experience , so that
I felt remorse...now I read everything about this topic that I can find, as I'm
looking for people with a similar experience. Long time I didn't know
whereabouts with me, I indeed found out that people shortly before death had
visions, but like this in normal life?, but then I think, 'why did I hear the
command to breath and Jesus command: LIVE (??!!)
What did you
believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it
happened:
Experience was definitely real
At the beginning I was
even unable to think about what I experienced! I was telling myself that I was
going nuts, until I allowed myself to think through sentence after sentence, as
the experience happened daily (and is) in my head! I think about it very often.
Later I found my proofs (was this worthy, God is a diamond:)
What do you
believe about the reality of your experience at the current time:
Experience was
definitely real
Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your experience?
Yes
Now I
dare more, participate more in life, know more people
Have your religious beliefs/spiritual practices changed specifically as a result
of your experience?
Yes
Now I
understand why God laughingly mocked me: you daughter of Islam....because HE
knew what would happen to me. What a change I would undergo.
At any time in
your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience?
No
Is there
anything else that you would like to add about your experience?
5 years ago I
was in a hospital, I lost a kidney....I thought I had a dream and I also told it
to the nurse that way, but she said that I got very strong medication... I was
out of my body, hanging in the air in sitting Buddha position and looked down on
me in bed. I also saw a street where Muslims were walking, I knew that they were
dead, a woman with a child looked at me knowingly. They were more gliding than
walking and this indeed through my hospital room where I was laying. Colors were
the same, furniture was the same... therefore the dream was so wonderful and
amazing. Only today, after dealing with the topic I know that I shortly left my
body. Therefore I also said that I don't know how I got to the light, as I
didn't feel the same as in hospital. I just simply was there :)
Did the
questions asked and information that you provided accurately and comprehensively
describe your experience?
Yes
I experienced
much more as I can write down
