Near-Death Experiences

I went to a meditation class a few days ago and the man presenting talked about near-death experiences. I quickly exclaimed "Yeah, I've had those."

My first near-death experience was after a severe fall (details not included for thematic elements). I saw a bright light and then I came back to Earth. I don't remember a lot of it except the bright light.

The second was over a year ago when I was dying in the hospital. I remember in my mind walking down a trial towards someone who looked like Jesus. I kept walking, but I couldn't get any closer. After a few minutes of this, I raised my hand up to say "No, not yet." I think Jesus was waiting for my decision. During the walking, I felt a huge sense of calm, joy and peace. I often want to get that feeling back. Sometimes it does when I meditate. It was not a dream; it was very different from a dream.

If you're wondering why I came back, it was for my psychologist who was going through grave difficulties. She didn't really tell me anything except I could feel a sense that she was struggling. I wanted to help her so I came back. I've overcome and been faced with many difficulties since coming back for her but I am glad that I fought through it all.

The man who ran the meditation class said after sharing about this that I am unique because I chose to come back. He didn't know that I came back for someone (for lack of time). It was the best decision I made even though I've lost touch with my psychologist. The last time I saw her she had the biggest smile in the world and I hope that this post finds her well.
