I'll do my best... All of my senses were enhanced~! TOUCH was incredible. When I held a leaf (that I had plucked the day before) with my thumb and index finger, the sensations traveled well up into my arm. The Texture was awesome. Here it comes., there are just NO WORDS to describe it. When I walked around my apartment, the soles of my feet felt awesomely NO WORDS. I got the message that if I opened the door, I could go anywhere I wanted, at any time I wanted. I didn't need that at that moment and went in my bedroom, layed on the bed and sipped a rare soda made in Brazil from a fruit that grows ONLY in Brazil. It was Heavenly Nectar! And I realized that I hadn't eaten anything more than a tiny bit of a Pop-Tart all week. I had no desire for food. I realized that I had been in constant prayer for over a week. (Still Am!)
What happened next will take a long time to put into words so I have to prepare for that one... Might take me a while but I continue to "enjoy" (NO WORD) what is STILL happening in me "as long as 'I' can ride it. Ain't NO reins on this one" (either)!

Anniversary note: The experiences of doing 'normal' things like walkiing and what I experienced then I NOW call comparing a photograph with the Real Thing!

I am interested too, and have questions as well.
One thing that stinkes me is that you were prepared for this to happen, so it was peaceful and easy. I am wondering if a person is unprepared, fighting it, or comes to this point by accident of attack, could the process be less than peaceful, I am not sure you would know how those scenarios play out.
That Sunday, the 12th, I wrote a piece I have not posted here because it really didn;t fit in. It was an account of an elderly couple losing thier only son and visiting a place where his last picture was taken. The trip to Alberta had brought it back to mind. It would almost seem like several of us have reached some sort of crux about that time.

Brother Patrick, let me tell you what frightens me about these near-death experiences, and I'm wondering if these aspects figured in your journey. Many people describe passing through a long, dark tunnel at a tremendous speed (Betty Eadie described her journey through the darkness as being so fast that "not even light-years could measure it"), and, as someone who is very frightened of travelling at great speed, I find myself dreading this possible part of my future (if and when it comes to pass).
Then, most people describe heading towards an effulgently bright light, a light immeasurably brighter than our sun, but which causes no discomfort when gazing into it. Many sense that God is within this Light, and sometimes get affirmation of this when passing into it. Now, an immensely bright light actually brings me little comfort; I've always felt much more at home in the dark, yielding night than the strident, glaring day, and the idea of finding myself in a radiant light-filled realm with no shadows definitely brings me some anxiety. That may sound strange to a lot of people, but it's true for me.
I've felt that many of our fears arise from being within a physical body. Perhaps when released from our physical constraints, the fears that germinate thereby (fears of falling, of bearing pain that the body cannot withstand, etc, etc) vanish away like a bad dream.
Please feel free to share and elaborate on anything as you please.
Thanks,
Scott
