I am writing in hopes of gaining some insight in regard to an experience that first began about nine years ago. Physically fit and active, at that time, I was suddenly taken ill one evening. I felt as though I had suddenly been punched in the heart and suddenly began to feel as though I would pass out. As I had been visiting the home of my parents who had lossed my older brother to ventricular fibrillation, my thoughts were to attempt to make it to the bathroom where I could die without them having to witness.

As I stood up, however, my body felt odd and suddenly, my perception seemed to be that of a person who was severl feet taller than my five feet. Yet, as I looked down, I was complete. In an instant, I experienced a life review. Received information (telepathic is the best way of describing it) regarding a gift I had been given which I was using inappropriately and then received a mission with bits and pieces of what I could experience. Nine years later, I can tell you how accurate this vision was.

My problem is that I cannot describe this as a near-death experience. We are still uncertain what occured that evening though my EKG has since been determined to be on the "poor side of normal"..? Many questions, test etc. but no answer. At any rate, I am wondering if there are other experiencers of such a phenomena. Any assistance would be appreciated

It turns out that it doesn't matter whether you had an STE or NDE. What we have learned about near death experiences is that they are interactions with nonlocal reality utilitizing specific neurological and biochemical pathways in the brain.

The experience that we call a "near death experience" can actually be triggered in a variety of situations including dying, severe pain or abuse, child birth, religious meditation, severe starvation, sensory deprivation, lucid dreams, something called the "hypnagognic state" and sometimes it just happens.

The most beautiful NDE I have ever encountered happened to a young boy in typing class!

Stop doubting and wondering if you have had a "real" NDE, and start trusting your vision and learning from it.

In vol 1 and vol 2 of my newsletter I go over the science of NDEs and how we can learn that not only are all these experiences "real", but we can learn from them.
