The Story
Paula was 29 years old when her brother Donnie died in a truck accident in 1983. Overwhelmed by grief three days after his funeral, she drove his truck to her grandparents' house. While driving, she experienced an out-of-body state. She gained 360-degree vision and saw Donnie's spirit as light points at her right shoulder. He communicated telepathically that he was happy on another plane and it was his time to go. Paula left her body and felt one with the universe, infinity, eternity, peace, all knowledge, and universal love. She understood no separation from spirit and loved this state. As she tried to go deeper, Donnie pushed her back, saying it was not her time. She returned to her body feeling happy and at peace. Afterward, Paula had after-death communications like moving objects and intuitions that saved her family from carbon monoxide poisoning. She developed abilities to see auras and created the Meld Into Spirit technique. In 2017, she wrote a book, retired, and shared her story to help others understand oneness and eternity.
