The Story
A 17-year-old man experienced a near-death event in the early 1970s in an apartment, though the exact cause is not specified. He was guided toward a bright light that surrounded him with total peace and comfort. He asked questions through thought and received instant answers. He learned the meaning of life as all-encompassing love. He was transported to see life on other planets with beings in various garb. He viewed the creation of the world on a giant tablet and understood all history, feeling connected to everything. He realized he must return and pleaded to stay, but light beings told him he had important reasons to go back. Thousands of light beings sang beautiful music, praising him and sending him to do God's work. He woke in a bathroom and tried to cut his wrist to return, but a voice stopped him, and someone entered the room. He told his girlfriend, who later became his wife. Years later, he saw a TV show about near-death experiences and recognized his own. The event became pivotal in his life, taking years to integrate, and he believes such experiences happen to everyone. He feels he still has much spiritual work to do.
