Virginia A's Experience
|
Experience description:
I was physically
exhausted. At the time, I was working two jobs, taking college classes and
raising my three sons by myself. So.. after a very long day, all I wanted to do
was to go to bed.
Finally after laying
down in my bed, I realized that nature was calling and I was trying to decide if
I should go to the bathroom. My bed felt so good that I didn't want to get up.
However, I decided to go to the restroom first then go to sleep so that my rest
would not be interrupted later. I had not been asleep yet.
As I got up to go to
restroom... I felt strange. I looked down at my feet, legs and hands.. what I
saw so amazed me. I'm not sure exactly what I saw. Some may call it the
soul, spirit or over-self.. I'm not sure. But what I saw was these lights had
taken the place of my physical body. The lights were nothing like we have here
on earth. Nothing in this world can compare. They were quintessential in
color. The only words I can use to describe this is that they were alive,
vibrational, pure.
After looking at the
lights were my body was, I wondered how I was seeing this in the place of my
body. So, I looked down at where I just left.. my bed. When I looked down, I
received the shock of my life. There laying in my bed... was ME. I have never
seen myself like that before. I stared at my body and was disgusted. I didn't
want to go back into that body. My consciousness was thinking.. "that thing is
sooo tight and heavy.. I don't want to get back in there". Then I questioned.
"How am I seeing my body without my eyes?" At that point, I just knew that I
didn't want to continue a life of struggle.. and for some reason, just wanted to
go home, although I was home. Very strange. So, I went to take off. To leave
that body. But I didn't. All of the sudden I was snapped back into my body.
After that, I got up and went to the restroom.
Any
associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the
experience?
No
Was
the kind of experience difficult to express in words?
Yes It is very difficult explaining the lights that I saw. They are like
nothing here that we can compare them to.

the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening
event?
No
What was your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience?
I
was alert.
Was the experience dream like in any way?
No
Did
you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?
Yes My appearance is hard to describe, so I'll do my best. It was like a
web of colored lights. The lights were alive, vibrational, pure, clear,
colored. The colors here on earth are dull and stale compared to those. Even
our high tech electrical lights do not compare to the lights of our souls,
spirits...whatever they are.
What emotions did you feel during the experience?
FREE
from the body that kept me down here. Free from gravity. Wonderment.
Did
you hear any unusual sounds or noises?
No.

that you did not have prior to the experience?
No
response
Did
you have any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?
Yes I now know for a fact, that we are not of the body. Before I had this
experience and when reading about OBE's or NDEs I would assume it was some form
of Neurological problem. However now I know that these really do exist because
there is no way that I could have seen my limp body lying there unless my
consciousness were someplace else. I may have even let the experience of the
lights go if I hadn't seen my body. I saw my OWN EYES, my own body in a way
that one could not see it without a mirror.
How
has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices?
Career choices?
Of
course. Now I study the metaphysical and Spiritual practices.
Has
your life changed specifically as a result of your experience?
Yes I don't think anyone can have an experience like that without it
effecting their life.
Have you shared this experience with others?
Yes The people who know me, know that I do not drink or use drugs in any
way. Some think that I'm special. But I'm not. Some think It was a dream..
just depends on the person.
What emotions did you experience following your experience?
I
was upset because I was back in the heavy tight body.
What was the best and worst part of your experience?
The
best was viewing the lights of my inner self. The worst was viewing my body for
what it was. A shell. And having to get back in there.

there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?
No,
not really

medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
No
