sense of awareness. At the same time a clear, calm voice resonating all around me says, "you can keep coming, or you can stay. If you are going to stay, open your eyes". The voice is crystal clear and pleasant. It is neither inviting nor repelling and is entirely non-judgmental. The voice has no gender.
I somehow understand much more than what is being said. The understanding I gain is greater than what I am hearing. Perhaps more overwhelming than the sight or the sound is the 'feeling' I feel as soon as the bright points of light appear. This energy intensifies as the moment progresses. Words such as Love, serenity, peace, joy, lightness come to mind to describe the energy which completely envelopes, and fills, my being.
At that precise moment I 'know' that what is waiting for me on the other side is part of a natural progression of my life and that experience is to be an enjoyable one. I also 'know' the remainder of my corporeal
experience on earth is not finished and is to be harmonious. I 'know' that a new phase of my life is now beginning. I yet have more to learn and more to do. The decision to remain is easily made.
I open my eyes.
I am now back to the noise of the material reality with the activity of the emergency room all around me. My heart is pumping again and additional IV's have started. Although there is still some frenetic energy, I have no concerns as to the outcome. I feel complete serenity. I will be fine. I would not have come back otherwise. I 'know' the energy that enveloped me has remained with me and I brought back the magic I experienced there.
The pure energy of my Soul remains clear to me to this day. During my brief, but fateful journey, I was keenly aware that I experienced a transference, or absorption, of knowledge.
