Dave's Near Death Experience |
|
Dave's Near Death Experience: I'll do my best to relate this experience, the circumstances leading up to it could be considered relevant, but as I was lying in an operating room during a surgery it probably is another story..... as a background, I fractured a total of 28 bones, 11 of which were vertebrae including 3 in my neck which all required laminectomy, or fusion as it's better known and five and a half months of a "halo" brace.... I was admitted weighing around 190 lbs. and in a period of just over a month i weighed 140... years of physical recovery followed...
it's very easy for me to relate this experience as it feel as if it just happened, it is as fresh in my thoughts as is the last sentence I wrote here in this e-mail..... when I arose above my body lying flat on the table in the operating room, I floated up, and sat up... sort of in one motion... maybe three or four feet above my body... I was watching the people in the room scurrying around in a hurry to work on what I assumed was a lifeless body... I looked to my left as my attention was pulled to a presence there a few feet from me..... I didn't speak, but felt everything this person felt, and seemed to, at the time, know everything he knew.... but the point was, this person felt a sadness that goes beyond my ability to communicate it to you... whether it be text, or spoken language..... this sadness was overwhelming.... as if it extended beyond our consciousness, and capacity to comprehend or measure such magnitude...
I assumed this presence to be the Lord... and I can say with no hesitation looked upon his face, but as soon as it became a memory, it was as if a veil was dropped over it.... or a hand wiped over a painting to obscure the memory from me...
I asked without speaking [as communication was non-verbal] why he was so filled with sadness, was filled with such complete and uncomprehendable pain, and he said, again without speaking that I had never ask him into my life.... and as corny as it may sound I thought [said] this seems like the appropriate opportunity to do so... and with that he was filled with a joy as equally difficult to describe as the pain it replaced... a joy that is... here's that word again... uncomprehendable... as if I were the most important creature that ever was, is, or ever will be.
I, and the event gently floated back to where I lay on the table, and I slipped back into unconsciousness
I came away with some knowledge... some absolutes.... I witnessed a garment... a cloak, I don't know if that's the right word, but cloak and garment come to mind..... anyway this garment stretched from one side of, my field of vision, my limits of perception is a better phrase... to the other side... from tens of thousands of miles, tens of thousands of lifetimes..... across tens of thousands of
lifetimes, and miles to the other side... not eternally, but was as if it were as close to
eternal that it nearly was.......
the point is, this garment was made up of tiny little fibers.... and each fiber brought to the garment a specific experience.... an experience that was unique to each and every fiber..... and each and every fiber was waiting for me, for you.... to bring to the garment this special experience, and when your experience is complete, and your ready to share it, then you
become a part of the garment, and the whole of every fiber shares with you their combined experience.... which makes you.... me... the most precious soul that was, is, or ever will be.... they are each waiting for you to become what you are meant to become, to learn what it is you are meant to learn... which explained to me how not a sparrow can fall to earth not what he knows.... which explained another vision of this experience...not setting around a campfire, but for ease of explaining it, just say
setting around a campfire.... with a teacher... a great and uncomprehendable being that was telling me something.... teaching me
something... and rather than draw a diagram, as one one often does when trying to explain something, he said "this is what I mean" and at that point I found myself in this life.... realizing that when we only live one life, it has nothing to do with the flesh that surrounds our soul... that as eternal beings, we are all here the exact same amount of time, whether it is 7 hours, 7 years, or 700 years.... it's just that as beings with analytical minds we compare our time to things we recognize here on earth, and that we may or may not inhabit thousands of "perspectives" or "windows to see through" before we return to the garment..... to a place that truly is beyond my ability to comprehend, to describe....
