Experience description:

I had been talking with an older woman who lived next to us. we were discussing how we believed in Jesus and what we were supposed to do on this earth. I became overjoyed and the next thing I knew I was popping out of my body. somehow I was in both worlds, she was scared and kept asking me if I was okay. I tried to answer and I couldn't. I griped the fence and forced my self to hang on. while this was happing to me the woman was screaming. I knew where I was in the other earth, I knew everything at once. I don't know that experience now. then I was free and happy, at total peace. the woman somehow helped me back to my house and I laid down and dreamed. then this experience was explained to me. I was asked if I wanted to leave then or stay. I was shown what would happen to my son of nine years. I answered I wanted to leave badly but I wanted my son safe and cared for more. I was told then that my job here was done and to enjoy my life and to remember my reward later. I have to remember I here by choice now, I had planned to see if I could just pop out when my son is grown. I won't because I have other people to share time with here now, so I stay.
