Childhood NDE's: OBE to Intensive Care Ward
When I found myself alone at night outside my body and in spirit I started exploring. I didn't feel alone because I had found a telepathic connection to 'guardian spirits.' They would look over my shoulder after the incident of 'flying to the moon.' This is when I started looking for answers to the questions that I couldn't get from my parents or family during the day.
One of the questions was about 'death.' What was it? I wanted to understand what had happened to me and why my parents had slammed the door on the subject matter.
That is when I (in spirit and out of body) started showing up at the Intensive care unit at night visiting the elderly as they came to the point of departure. In the beginning, I would stand at a distance and watch as the spirit of the elderly patient slowly 'pop out' of the physical body. There would be a moment of confusion in the mind of the person as they slowly woke up to the reality of being outside of the physical body. This was happening prior to the electric plant incident as well as after. So there was a time when I was talking about the 'dreams' I had where I was witnessing the inside body of strangers in bed - leaving the outside body on it's way to the 'night sky.'
Prior to the confirmation of the electric plant incident - my parents thought I was watching too much television or cartoons. (There was a cartoon episode of Casper where the 'ghostly' body left the physical that I that I had referred after my own direct experience.) It was easier for my parents to think that I was dreaming about a cartoon I had watched.
After the electric plant incident - my Dad asked me to get details that could be verified.
The first incident that happened where I could get details was an elderly lady. I could never express how it was that I (as a spirit) knew to show up at the scene prior to the 'death' of a person. I called it 'inside knowing.' There was a form of intuition that came with being a spirit and I would show up knowing that the person was about to 'give up' the 'inner ghost.' I showed up at the bedside and put my invisible head into my hands and waiting for the events to take place. The woman's spirit slowly lift up the upper portion and raised up halfway out of the body. She saw me on the side of her bed looking at her. She asked me who I was and why I was out of bed so late at night. I just pointed to her physical head laying on the pillow. She turned to look and gasped at the sight of herself being halfway out of her body. She asked if she was dreaming and I announced that she had died. She then asked if I was her angel. I told her,
"I am just a kid trying to learn things about this."
There was a clock beside her bed and I asked here what time it was as well as her name. I told her I was trying to prove to my Dad that a part of me had been there when she left her body. She told me the time and gave me her name. What happened afterwards was always hard to put into any sort of language. The simple word for me was 'the change.' The change from the physical figure to the 'spiritual form' of light would take place.
My Dad called the hospital the next morning and confirmed the time of death as well as the name of the lady involved. He was fascinated by the event but had no logical explanation for me. I had questions about it afterwards but he was never able to give me answers.
My parents must have been talking about it among their inner circle of friends. I can recall now - how a week or so later we had company. My Dad called me to his side with a friend of his by his side. He told me to tell his friend the story about the old lady in the hospital I had spoken to in my dreams. I had no memory of it. I asked if I could go and play with the other kids.
My parents couldn't rely on my memory of the events enough to repeat the testimony again after a certain time span. Like all kids, my attention span was limited to the current moment. When it came to the 'out of body' episodes - it was harder to bring them to the surface after time had passed. My focus would shift and my mind would be on other matters.
Years earlier when Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot and it was broadcast on the evening news, my Mom had protested my Dad insisting I watch history in the making. So when the subject came up due the nightly 'dream visits' in spirit - my Mom insisted it was from the trauma of having to watch that news broadcast.
"You have warped his mind. That news show got buried inside of him and now this is coming out in it's place."
I kept trying to talk about the 'near death experience' I had endured months prior. Instead of listening to what I had to say about it, they would argue their logic against my testimony. I had told them that I left my body behind, went to a light and came back to my body. My Dad had told me,
"Son, if a person dies, that is it. The end. They don't come back to their bodies to talk about dying. You don't talk anymore after you die."
Of course within a short time after all the OBE's - my parents got to witness my 'death' with their own eyes. My Mom was the first to witness it and she to was looked at strange as people argued their logic against her own testimony.
