These are the main elements of my Near Death Experience after leaving the body:
I was suddenly no longer observing what was happening from inside my body. I now found myself outside my body in the air above where we were sitting. My awareness was moved to a place outside my body, maybe ten or fifteen yards in the air. From here, I could look down and observe both her and my body sitting on the beach. I was looking down from a bird’s eye view as a third person and it were as if I were a point of space of infinite awareness.
The sensation of being pulled from my body was overwhelmingly powerful. I felt a deep explosion, like a volcanic eruption, pull my body apart and dissolve the essence of what I once knew as myself. I was suddenly naked, exposed to everything in the entire universe, but at the same time I was bathed in the transparent light of something so powerful, so indescribable, all words fade and disappear.
It was love. I melted together with a feeling of love a hundred or maybe a thousand times stronger than anything I have ever felt in this dimension: “This is truth—this is what it is!” In that moment I knew the universe, “This is who I am—this is all there is!”
What I experienced was my true nature as absolute and unbound consciousness. In this state there was nothing that I did not know—all knowledge was there. It was as if I had come home to my self—home to the ultimate nature of reality—home to love. It was all love. As I consumed all the love gathered from all the stars in the universe, I broke out in awe, “Wow! I did not know!”
My heart was now thrown into a black hole by the consequence of this realization. It is all love—but I did not know. Through this revelation, I now also realized what was not love. The separation between what I had known in my life to be true and this unimaginable profound revelation created a pain within me. In the chasm of this separation arose a great torment; I had lived my whole life against my own true nature—against love. Out of this separation a deep regret was born and I now started to see my life in review.
In my review I saw all the people that I had hurt throughout my time on Earth. It was like a movie being played out right in front of my eyes, and it showed me all the pain and suffering that I had caused others. First, I saw my mother crying and broken as I shouted at her in anger. I saw how the pain cut deep into her, and I saw myself doing the cutting.
Then I saw an ex-girlfriend. I had cheated on her. Now her whole world was shattered, and her heart was broken by my selfish action. In fulfilling my own desires, I had not cared about her feelings. All the trust and hope that she had placed in me, I had turned to dust and disillusionment. As I felt her agony, I felt disgusted by my actions.
Then I saw an episode in school which I had long forgotten. A small girl was standing against the wall in the schoolyard and I was teasing her. She was lost in her tears and wanted to disappear forever. I was calling her names, telling her she was worth nothing. I felt how the shame I caused that day would expand throughout her life and consume her happiness. She would be less outgoing and less able to love herself as an adult. I felt the full effects this would have on her family and the loved ones around her.
I was horrified. An overpowering feeling of torment crushed my heart on behalf of all the people I had hurt in my life. Having realized the true nature of existence to be infinite love and now seeing myself causing all this pain was devastating. The essence and purpose of life was love, but I had gone against love and therefore my own true nature. It was as if I had been doing all this to myself—by hurting others I had hurt myself. We are all connected—we are all one. From the deepest part of my heart, I cried, “How could I do anything other than love?”
Then I saw the world. I saw all the pain and suffering in it. I saw all the poor people, and all the people living in misery. I saw all the conflict and all the wars in our world. This was far too much for me to bear. My heart could not contain all the world’s grief. In an extremely intense sensation, I felt my heart literally tear in two, and the pain was so strong I could not bear it. We live in a world with so much agony, all against the nature of love. How could we accept all this? How could we live the way we do, not seeing the sorrow, not feeling the pain?
At that moment, I knew that I had to do something to change this. I could no longer be an innocent bystander, a mere witness to this unending misery. I had to do something to help all these tormented souls.
Then the feeling of pain changed back into the feeling of love again. I again recognized this almost uncontainable powerful sensation of love as my essence. This was who I am—this was all that there is. With this feeling in me, I now looked to the future in front of me. It was a clear bright light, and I knew that this was the direction in which I would go. I saw myself loving people around me, having compassion for others, and devoting my life to helping the world. At the end of my life, I saw myself entering this light to return to where I came from, and I knew that this was where I would go when my life was over. After this look into the future, I now came back into my body.
