The Story
Crystal experienced a near-death event while working at a dude ranch. She tried to separate two horses among a group of 80, but a stampede started, and she got kicked and slammed into a hay barn. During the NDE, Crystal left her body and watched the incident from 20 feet away, feeling serenity and peace. She visited the maid's room and saw her listening to opera from above. She then observed her mom walking to a bus stop and sensed her mom's worry. She traveled instantly to places by thought as time and space vanished. She entered a tunnel of brightly colored bricks and crawled toward a bright light. A guardian angel named Elizabeth helped her stand and led her to heaven, where deceased relatives greeted her. She met two friends about to be born and received knowledge that she is eternal, innocent, and loved. She had a mini life review of her stepmother, gaining compassion and understanding her fears. In a full life review, she felt connected to all beings and source, viewing everyone with childlike compassion. After the NDE, Crystal lost her shame and fear. She gained deep gratitude for life, saw everyone's beauty, and understood the spiritual realm is always present, blocked only by fear. She now views people with love and compassion, like God does.
