1978 Near Death Experience
This is a brief description of what I recall of my 1978 Near death experience after a car accident. I was only 18 years old when this happened.
When I was a teenager, I woke up one morning
with amnesia. I couldn’t remember my own name. I could remember
dying in a car collision. I could I could recall of that was
vivid and clear. It was too clear. I recalled that I had been
traveling at a high rate of speed and my Thunderbird crashed
into a ditch. It started flipping until he turned sideways and
came to a stop. When it did - I was covered in blood. (I have
never liked the smell of blood since then.) The impact and
rolling took place so fast that when it came to a stop - I was
dazed and confused. When I saw my injuries - I cried out,
"Oh God help me!"
Then
I closed my eyes for a second and when I opened them again -- I
was outside of my wrecked car. I was confused to how I got
outside of the car so quickly. I could see my car flipped over
on its top. It was after midnight so it was dark outside. I
could see the lights of the city in the background. The crash
had taken place out side of the city limits. When I looked down
to see the injuries again - I noticed I was naked. I had no
clothes on. At first, I thought the moon was shinning brightly
because my body was glowing. I thought I had been thrown from
the car so fast - I had lost my clothes. When I looked at the
car and the distance to town, I thought,
"Oh great. I went and murdered my car.
I am out here in the middle of nowhere naked. Now I got to walk
into town to get help naked as a jaybird. HOW am I going to
explain this to people who see me walking around without any
clothes on?"
The glass had been flying from the windshield. I thought I had
seen myself covered in injuries and blood. When I found myself
outside the car - I became confused. Especially when I noticed
the only thing missing from my shinning body -- was my jewels. I
was 18 years old and that is the area of the body a teenager
would notice. I thought I had wrecked and lost my car -- now --
I was walking around naked without clothes and my jewels were
missing.
"People are really going to think I am
odd."
I was concerned about the lack of clothes more than my missing
jewels. I just felt I was going to have to get by. I was
wondering how I was going to us the bathroom. The thought that I
would have to us it like a lady came to mind -- when I heard a
voice telling me that body I was in was not the same as the body
left in the car. I was confused again. Kirlian Photography????
"What body in the car? I was alone in
the car. How can there be another body in the car? Who are you?"
Then the voice told me to go look and that is when I figured out
I was no longer in a human body. I was a GHOST hovering around
the outside of my car. I declined to go look at the physical
body laying in the car. I had seen it once and that was enough.
That is when I realized I was "dead." I was confused again. I
didn’t feel dead. I felt very much alive. In fact - I felt
better than I ever thought I had felt. The idea of being a ghost
started intimidating me.
"What the heck do ghosts do? If I am
going to be a ghost…….I want to be like Casper. The friendly
kind."
I was outside of the body and I noticed the "silver cord"
detached. Slight memories of childhood "out of body" experiences
came back to mind. I had known as a child that if you became
detached to the physical body -- there was no way back in. I
started realizing -- my time was done. Then I started hearing
growling sounds. I looked off in the darkness surrounding me and
noticed "red glowing eyes" popping up in the darkness.
"What the HECK is that?"
They looked like "alligator" eyes popping up in the distance.
Howling started that sent shivers up and down -- what ever body
I was in. There was just a low growling at first. They were
approaching me like cats approach their prey. I once again
screamed out,
"OH GOD -- HELP ME!"
That is when my "silver cord" snapped to and shot off into the
celestial realm. Afterwards, I called it my "bat cord" after the
Batman fame. It hooked onto the stars (so to speak) and
something started pulling my "spiritual ghost body" upwards.
What ever those "creatures" were -- they couldn’t fly. They were
growling and scratching one another underneath me. I let loose
and started enjoying the feeling of hovering above the earth.
There was what I called a "second moon" in the distance. It was
small round ball of light off in the heavens. It was getting
closer as I was being pulled upwards. I asked the silent and
invisible voice,
"What the heck are those things?"
"Those are the foes. They do not want you to see what you are
about to see."
"What am I about to see?"
"Patience."
There was other conversation as I slowly moved upward. It was
mostly about what had been going on prior to my car crash. I
just relaxed and enjoyed the slow ascent upwards.
It
looked like I was underwater and the surface was above me. At one point I broke
through the surface of the invisible like veil and it was a laser light show to
my sense of understanding. At one point I recognized the enormous amount of energy
flowing above the veil.
"Oh my
gosh. I remember now. THIS IS HOME. I am going home. How could I be so silly to
think that place I am leaving behind was home. It is just a ride and the
ride is over."
Then I recognized an inner and silent voice communicating with
me. I was like a child reuniting itself with its parent. The voice in the light recognized me by an inner
and silent name. It was great to be recognized and understood.
At one point, I took off into the round ball of light like
a freight train at the speed of sound. It was fast.
Then, I woke up in a bed with amnesia. I was in the physical body again attached to the mental, emotional, and physical plane. I was once again confused. I had been sent back into the world again. I could slightly recall "communication" about this fact while I was in the light. I talked to people for months, and years afterwards. When people asked me what it was like to be back in that light I would tell them,
"Well -- you know how
they say rest in peace. Brother -- that English word -- peace
--- does NOT come close to describing what that feeling was
like. It was the most calming and serene feeling you could
possibly imagine."
I spent many years trying to comprehend my travel into the
realm. Back in 1978 - little was heard of the "near death
experience." I would have never thought to call it "near death."
I felt I had spent some time beyond "death."
