At one point I thought " was in total bliss and the thought came " I could stay her for eternity , and I really meant it . Here I was was in a void the space with absolutely nothing and I needed nothing else for eternity , enveloped in the most blissful completely fulfilled state one could ever imagine. I understood that this was the basis and source and goal of creation and there was nothing else . This for all intents and purposes was the creator , vast beyond measure , timeless and totally complete , absolutely  'everything else just faded  into insignificance . As it became stronger and more blissful it became overwhelming , I couldn't handle the intensity , as though I would be destroyed or crushed by the immeasurable , unlimited power and I was so small and fragile by comparison .

The discomfort grew and I had to retreat and found myself zooming back to earth at great speed . As it grew larger I looked on and the many layers in which I was embroiled , on a planet ,in an area , in a country , in an area of that country  in a house in a room , in a body , in a cranium , and that mind seemed so limited with a lot of what appeared to be disgusting traits  by comparison to the sense of freedom and purity I had just come from . It all was very claustrophobic , suffocating and horrible and small minded and I couldn't bear the thought of returning .There was a split second a moment of hesitation , a sense of urgency that I had to make this decision quickly or I could not go back , where I had to make a decision on whether to go back or not . This was the most complex part of the experience , because I had to weigh up the pros and cons very quickly . There was the thought that I wasn't ready to stay and deal with the intensity of what I had experienced and sense of disgust at limiting myself to such a disgusting (from the current perspective) limited consciousness and body .

The only way I could return to this body was to let go and accept myself with all of the limitations etc because it wasn't forever . And there was a "Ah ! what the hell " and I let the force that was pulling me back into my body do its job , and with that , it was like my spirit was attached to a piece of super strong piece of elastic that was stretched tight and I let go and my spirit just slammed into my body and I came to as though I had been hit by a truck . I was actually physically reeling from the impact as I came to with the shock of impact. I was quite high and serene for weeks afterwards with a sense of freedom and acceptance of myself , a bit like a mini enlightenment and have never forgotten the experience . I always thought of it as a mystical experience but now after hearing the radio interview I think it may have been a type of NDE , as my heart may have slowed down along with my breathing and possibly stopped briefly until my body possibly ran out of oxygen and was under pressure to get going again. However I believe the experience itself was real, more than real and when people ask me if I believe in God , I say "No" ......" I know there's a God.....Its not a question of belief anymore"
