Experience description:
In adolescence, at the age of 14, I developed a grave anxiety disorder that in ten years left me disabled. It caused me serious physical problems and I was homebound for years. I ended up having frequent hospital stays for heart attacks, and collapses that made me lose consciousness. The loss of consciousness caused many out of body experiences. All those experiences spurred me on to explore the subject. I would like to summarize the most important.
The first experience was brief but very intense. I lay in bed, unconscious. I found myself pushed out of my body forcefully. I was on earth. I saw energy flow across things; I saw colored streams of energy flow across my body. All the colors were very vivid; I felt myself wrapped in an aura of total well-being. I could see my body laid on the bed. Then suddenly I woke up, back in my body.
The second experience a few days later was similar, but this time I got up from my body on the bed. I walked down the stairs and I went into my sister's room. I had a vision of my future and my past. I saw myself a little later as an adult with my current partner whom I didn't yet know at that time. There was a child in my arms. I can say with certainty that it was my current child and my current partner. In the room next door, I found a cot. Inside it a newborn turned and looked at me. I was disturbed at the sight of that image of my baby and I woke in my body.
The following week, during a crisis, I heard a feminine voice call me. I found myself on a stairway in a palace. I descended and went through a door into an extremely large empty room. There was a light, very bright but not glaring. In the center of the room there was a young woman and an old man seated on big chairs. The girl smiled sweetly at me and said to me “Think how much road you have traveled; it has been us who brought you together”. I remained nervous, because I didn't know her, and I didn't know what she was talking about. Then she said to me, “Now you must go. You can't stay here”. She accompanied me to a door and I woke up again. Years later at the home of my current partner, I saw some pictures hanging on the walls and was petrified to see that the two people that I encountered during the experience were the aunt and grandfather of my partner. They were all incredulous.
Another time, it was a very hot summer. I was very bad. I had diverse attacks, and during them I met a person whom I believed to be my guide. I often found myself on the pavement, nearly unconscious. A blond young man called to me, and I managed to raise myself out of my physical body. I was going toward him and he asked if he could help me. He hugged me to himself without speaking, went through a door of light, and left me in a facility, asking a boy to take care of me.
In that facility, I had to descend a stairway and confront some fears. There were some very hostile people who frightened me very much. I needed to find the courage to confront them to access the stairway. I was exhausted. When I woke and collected myself, I felt very worn. I encountered this blond boy at different times. Every time, he put me to a test. One time he told me to stop being an egotist and confront my fears, carrying me in front of a black and turbulent ocean, but I wasn't courageous and didn't throw myself in.
After some months I had a more intense experience. I found myself in Torino at my partner's house. That night it wasn't a pre-death experience. Something had come to take me. I was awake and perfectly conscious, with eyes closed. I tried to get to sleep. I felt a presence grab my legs, pulling them up and down hard. I was surprised. The fear made me feel a sense of defiance, and as if that presence was angry. I began to pull more strongly. Then I had courage. I wanted to see who it was.
I opened my eyes physically, and before me there was a revolving door, like that one sees in films. Inside was black. Strange silver symbols and light from colored lamps revolved all around the room. It was distorted like it was an energetic force field that sucked everything in. This presence enveloped me and made me feel an unconditional love. It was something indescribable a feeling never experienced before that made me burst into tears. I was upset and I didn't want to proceed any more. I asked it to leave me in peace. A wind crossed over me and everything vanished I was seated on a bed, petrified, the following day I couldn't speak. I tried to talk about what happened but I couldn't. as if a cord strangled my throat, only in the late afternoon could I talk. I asked only to return home I didn't want to stay anymore in that room.
Over the years I had diverse out-of-body experiences, and I encountered various dead people and some that I could describe as hostile aliens or demons. I visited futuristic places, and places from the past. Twice I thought I was helped physically. A type of monk made me lie down on a bed of stone and walked over me. I felt a strong energy field cross my umbilical cord and made me feel very light. Various times I met beings and persons with whom I had very particular experiences.
These are the most important experiences that I had, and I am sure that in the future something extraordinary awaits me. Thank you for having listened to me, and pardon my spelling and grammar errors.
