Childhood NDE's: Electric Plant Incident
One night I started 'hearing' a humming coming from a street light on the corner. I floated up to the light to study it from up close. I was curious about source and how it was powered without being plugged into the wall as lights were in house. I saw the wires running along the poles and my mind grew curious to where the plug was that powered the light. So I started following the wires along the poles trying to follow the humming sound I heard within me.
I was never afraid at night while in spirit outside my body. To get back home all I had to do was think of my front yard and some sort of homing beacon within me would hone into the location and my spirit would be back in my front yard within seconds.
My young childish mind was thinking it would find gigantic power plugs plugged into a wall to power all the street lamps in the city. The noise and humming grew louder as I got to the electrical plant. I went inside the building and found what I thought was the source of the noise. It was a big box sitting on a floor. There were many of the lined up in a roll and I went to one of the boxes and was studying the appearance of the outside and listening to the noise it was making.
I wanted to 'reach' inside and touch the vibrations it was making because I could feel the vibrations pulsating through me unlike anything I had experienced outside my body. Just as I was about to put my invisible hand through - I heard a man's voice shouting. He was shouting at a kid.
I had been on trips outside of my body enough to know that when I showed up on a scene, I would be invisible. Sort of the 'fly on the wall'. I had never seen kids up and about that late at night. I started looking around for the man and see who he was talking to and shouting at. When I found the man - he was staring at me and waving his arms frantically. I was trying to figure out if the kid was around me somewhere and went looking around frantically to see where the kid was. It took me a few seconds to figure out that he was seeing me.
I backed away from the generator and when I backed away - I disappeared from his sight. I noticed that my 'transparency' had increased and was thicker than usual. It had something to do with the 'vibrations' coming from the generator. I watched his response to the sight of my body disappearing before his eyes. He had started running toward my location when I disappeared from his sight. He took off his hat and started scratching his head. He started shouting out asking where I was.
I took off running toward another generator and hid around the corner from his sight. I would stick my hand in and raise up my vibrations again. When my appearance density increased, I would stick my head around the corner and say "pick-a-boo - I see you." Then I would move my hand, lower the vibrations and disappear on him. I had that poor man running all over the place looking for me.
When I woke up in the morning I felt I had spoken to a stranger directly and he had spoken to me. Unlike the other times when I was invisible and no one had spoken directly to me. I didn't want to get into trouble so I mentioned it to my Dad. I wanted to talk to my Dad about the incident and my Mom had sworn me to secrecy about the moon incident. So I approached the subject from a different perspective and experience.
My Dad started telling me the same thing about it being a dream and not counted as real. To him, encountering a stranger in a dream was not the same thing as encountering a stranger in a dream. I was old enough to know what a dream was and wasn't and going out of body and encountering living breathing human beings was not a dream to me. My Dad and I went round and round about the reality of the incident being a partial reality since the man was a real man and not a figment of my imagination. My Dad got on the telephone and said he was going to prove to me and to his mind that it was a dream by calling the electrical plant.
His eyes grew wide and he lost his breath when the person on the telephone stated they were investigating a reporting of a lost child being seen in the power plant the night before.
This validation led to a conference between myself, my Dad and my Mom. I listened as they tried to rationalize the events searching for a logical explanation. I didn't understand the references to 'spirit,' the 'maker' or the "Lord." In hindsight I feel that my parents felt that this was a mystery beyond normal and rational understanding. My take on it now is that they felt the 'Lord' was summoning me during my sleep for a 'ministering spirit' type of lesson beyond the worldly. This matched one of my parables.
I had told them I felt like it did as a child when I had learned to walk. There was someone standing behind me at all times at first where I had my hands up and being held by an 'adult-like' mind but that after I learned to 'fly' around that I was on my own learning to 'walk' in the directions I would go. After the 'flying to the moon' incident, I would always call on this 'one' to make sure I wasn't stepping on someone else's yard without permission. My parents reflected upon a scripture they were aware of that stated that God could come to a person during dreams and give them instruction. (Job 33:15-16)
There was always a 'gulf' between my parents verbal expression and my own understanding. I was a six year old child trying to learn how to grow up in the world and was at that mental level of understanding and learning.
But the electric plant incident was verified by outside sources and added a mystical reality or partial reality to my talks of 'leaving the body' at night during dreams and sleep.
I can recall my Dad stating that my parents were the authority of my physical body and mind during the day and that they had to take a back seat when it came to the 'Creator's Spirit' working through my spirit for 'his' work in the world.
My Dad became curious and interested in the 'dreams' afterwards and wanted me to give him a report of what activity took place where I felt there was a partial physical reality that involved other living human beings.
I told him about my visits to the 'dying' in a hospital. These incident were confirmed after he told me to gather up details of the surroundings so he could verify it.
