Cyndi E's Experience
|
Experience description:
I was around 5 yrs old,
I was on our front porch and a snake had wrapped around my ankle/leg my Mom had
come out with a broom and told me to keep dancing (guess I was jumping around)
and she knocked it off. I guess it had scratched my skin but not a deep puncture
and my Mother started treating me (back in those days we pretty much did old
remedies, etc.) I remember being in the bed burning up with fever and my Mother
sitting in a chair beside the bed tending to me and my Father standing by my
Mother. Around that time I could see myself not only lying in bed but floating
above close to ceiling and off to the side, I remember seeing myself, my Mother
and Father and my Father asking my Mother if I was going to die. My Mother
replied, "No Ebert she is not going to die."
That is about all I
remember. I have had several more experiences OBE, NDE, and Dreams that actually
happened years later. These all occurred between 1962 - 2007. Have often
thought of having hypnosis to see if I could go back and see if there was more
to the experiences but never did.
Any associated
medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience?
No
Was the kind of
experience difficult to express in words?
Yes
because at 5 yrs
old although I am very confident in what I seen and experienced i but never
spoke of it until recently I suppose I never wanted anyone to think I was just
imagining, etc.
At the time of this
experience, was there an associated life threatening event?
Uncertain
What was your level of
consciousness and alertness during the experience?
I believe I was
conscious and my alertness I suppose was somewhat lessened due to such a high
fever.
Was the experience
dream like in any way?
No did not feel like a
dream.
Did you experience a
separation of your consciousness from your body?
Yes
I was definitely above
myself floating close to ceiling, with both my floating self and myself in bed,
my floating self did not feel physical but could see and hear everything, myself
in bed (I think) felt the presence of self floating, and all these years I can
not recall anymore than that.
What emotions did you
feel during the experience?
I believe peaceful, at
one point when my mother spoke to my father I felt humor (I suppose from the way
she said it)I think I also may have felt scared but it didn't last long.
Did you hear any
unusual sounds or noises?
NO
Did you recognize any
familiar locations or any locations from familiar religious teachings or
encounter any locations inhabited by incredible or amazing creatures?
No
Did you see a light?
No
Did you meet or see
any other beings?
No
Did you experiment
while out of the body or in another, altered state?
Uncertain
Did you observe or
hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be
verified later?
Uncertain
Did you notice how
your 5 senses were working, and if so, how were they different?
Uncertain
Did you have any sense
of altered space or time?
Yes
Yes, I believe it felt
like there was a gap in time....?
Did you have a sense
of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?
Yes
well at only 5
yrs old the one thing that has stayed with me from that experience is that I
knew something that most do not and maybe why I never discussed it I have always
just listened and watched and researched.
Did you reach a
boundary or limiting physical structure?
Uncertain
not certain but I think
I just felt it was time to go back to me.
Did you become aware
of future events?
Uncertain
not during this
particular experience but others.
Were you involved in
or aware of a decision regarding your return to the body?
Yes
just felt time
to go back to me.
Did you have any
psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience that you did
not have prior to the experience?
Uncertain maybe,
when best friend of 30+ yrs passed I was visited by a tribal shaman (medicine
man) not sure..........than a year later a unique experience with nature this
beautiful dragonfly that insisted on coming into my home for days; than cut my
friend in several layers and related that to my brother having open heart
surgery.
Did you have any
changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?
Uncertain
just know all of
my experiences actually happened and just trying to figure everything out and
find answers.
How has the experience
affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices? Career choices?
Relationships - just
want everyone to be happier and not waste life.
Daily Life-still on
life long journey trying to get answers.
Religious-well, that is
a lengthy thought, but I feel like there is more out there we just do not fully
understand it all yet.
Career choices-due to
my health or family issues haven't been able to pursue my goals of career.
Has your life changed
specifically as a result of your experience?
Uncertain
I think so, if I
had not experienced that at such an early age (and several experiences since) I
may have not looked at things with an open mind/heart.
Have you shared this
experience with others?
Yes
Just in the past few
years.............no I don't think they have been influenced think they already
felt that there is something legitimate to some of these claims they hear about.
What was the best and
worst part of your experience?
not sure there was a
best or worst part.
Is there anything else
you would like to add concerning the experience?
I believe I just came
away with a sense of knowing............not sure at that age could grasp all of
the knowing.
Following the
experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or
substances which reproduced any part of the experience? Uncertain
not of that particular experience but as mentioned before I have had several
other experiences and the reoccurring dreams when I was around 14 yrs old
definitely materialized in real life.
Did the questions
asked and information you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your
experience?
Yes
Yes, I believe so.
