Experience description:

I was folding laundry,  thing unusual in that it’s something I do most days (big family). With no fanfare I was pulled from the center of my being into “space.”  I could see the entire of the universe, galaxies, planets, everything. I felt an incredible, powerful, immense love.  I could feel information being transmitted to me, not that I can remember what it was, but it was a lot having to do with answers to questions I’ve had since I was a child, visions I have had all my life, math (I’m not a math person so I don’t know how to say more than that), the connectedness or oneness of everything, and that the only thing that’s really important at all times is love.

Then I came back to my body. I don’t know how long was gone since I was alone in the room and didn’t have a clock nearby. I sat down on the daybed and sobbed with joy and sadness for both my new knowing and the fact that it was now out of reach.

Then I noticed that the black cloud I’ve carried with me my entire life was gone.  Completely gone. Not hiding to descend later as I usually felt when depression lifted, but gone. Like a hole in my being had been filled.

While I cried I finished folding laundry and then went about my day. I kept hearing “chop wood, carry water.”

 Did you hear any unusual sounds or noises?         Not that I can remember.

 LOCATION DESCRIPTION:  Did you recognize any familiar locations or any locations from familiar religious teachings or encounter any locations inhabited by incredible or amazing creatures?         Yes    The entire of the universe (the photos coming from the Webb telescope have floored me because of my experience).

 Did you have a sense of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?         Yes    I knew during and since that god is real (although I do think that’s not really an apt name, maybe creator or source would be better).

 How has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices? Career choices?   I have a lot of questions like why me, what was I told during the experience, how can I share this with people. I struggled for a while with daily life because it felt so small and I still struggle with what my purpose is.

Have you shared this experience with others?       Yes    A very few were interested and believed me, most were dismissive and not really interested.

 What was the best and worst part of your experience?          Depression is gone and has not returned, I know it never will.  Unshakable knowing that the creator is real and loves us and everything that is exactly the way we are.

 Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience? I would love to talk with others who have had spontaneous OBEs. I’ve met people who have had NDEs and while the returning feelings and knowings are the same or very similar, I would love to meet people who were just doing something mundane and pulled out to experience something like this.

 Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?       No     

Did the questions asked and information you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?           Yes
