I just finished telling my mother about my experience. I am sitting next to her. She is dying. After I told her every detail, She shut her eyes smiling. Her breathing is labored and becoming slowed. What a painful moment, but so happy I could give her peace. Maybe me retelling it here will give someone else peace.

Yes I have seen the other side and because I have it is fact to me

My 1st memory is of my death. I did not know what God was, or heaven, or hell. I did not even know what death was. I did not have preconceived ideas of what was waiting for us when we die. I was a blank slate.

When I had my near death experience I saw many things. I will will breifly describe some of those things here.

I saw my body. I vividly recall the sensation of not having a body. I felt like I was a part of the ground, the sky, even the stars. My apologies that is best I can describe that sensation.

Time was not linear there as we understand it. Time was like a burrito wrapping around on itself. One end touching the other. There was no future or past. There was only now. Everything was happening all at once instead of in a sequential order.

There were no questions because all was known. I was at peace and comfortable in this state.

I did not see a tunnel. I did see a light but no tunnel to it. I did not see deceased family to my recollection. The sky around the light was this beautiful array of colors. I have tried many times to paint it. I simply can't seem to come close. It was a mix of purple, pink, blue, all in varying shades. There was also black.

I saw that we are all connected to one another in a deeply meaningful way. This I saw in great detail. Every thought, action, and word spoken creates a wave of sorts that ripples to those closest to us. Then in turn they create a ripple from that to those close to them and it goes down the line. To me it's like a great piano playing. A chord plays setting off another chord. It's a perfect universal song played thru each and every one of us. It doesn't matter if you are a believer or not. you are a part of this song.

I have told me near death experience in more detail on another question. My apologies for keeping this breif. My attention is hard to hold today with mom closing in on gm the veil.

Whether your a believer or not, my one wish is that people understand how they can affect others with choices they think only affect them. The person standing next to you feels your choices and the next and the next. If you don't believe that, maybe you can try and believe that we should try to be better to one another. Quit pointing fingers and attacking one another.

Honestly, forever terrifies me. Sometimes just not existing anymore when I die is a comforting idea in many ways. So for the skeptics, I get it. Never the less I love you without knowing you. I wish only good things to all those reading now and pray the ripple felt from my answer has a good affect.
