At 23 I was half asleep & I heard a very LOUD (like electricity) sound and I "saw" a streak of yellow light.
My NDE was the most important event of my life and can be described as INTENSE. One day after my 20th birthday, I was hit head-on by a car while I was riding a bicycle without a helmet. My forehead touched the windshield and in that nanosecond, 20 years of life experience meditated in me and released me to void. Then my soul chose to came back! This is an ultra condensed version of my story, which has shaped my life: CHOOSING TO LIVE and integrating as a new soul.
In 1981, I was involved in a very serious car accident in Germany while serving in the US Army. I broke my left femur in 2 places, broke 6 ribs, collapsed both lungs, had a concussion and was in a coma for 10 days. Right after the accident occurred (I was not driving) as the passengers in the car exited the car they were pulling a lifeless body out of the car and laid it on the ground beside the wrecked car. I felt like I was behind these guys, watching, and was horrified when I saw the lifeless body was mine.
In May of 2001 (I was 22) I became very weak; it was hard for me to get around. Trying to swallow was even worse. I went online to find out what was wrong. I'll never forget the day I found my diagnosis. After reading about Myasthenia Gravis and spotting the mortality rate: 80%, I was motivated to find answers. After a few trips to the doctors I was admitted to a hospital. After many tests, my self-diagnosis was proven correct.
I was preparing for the birth of my son via C-Section as my daughter was born the same way two years before that. Prior to the 8 a.m. scheduled delivery, I started to have contractions so they wheeled me into surgery right away. In the 80's, it was still assumed to be dangerous to have normal birth after a C-section.
