Near Death Experience Reports Excerpted

I felt, well I want to say relaxed, but I think the better way to describe it is "neutral," like observing without feeling. [What emotions did you feel during the experience?] No emotions. Total neutrality. 2a/Jon

Then all of a sudden I found myself in a room, where my mother, and one of my aunts who was not in the hospital at the time, were weeping inconsolably, seated on maroon-coloured, very brightly-coloured, armchairs. At this point I said to myself: "Ah, that means I'm dead!" 6a/4013

[How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?] Normal consciousness and alertness throughout, although I did not know what was happening (why no one spoke to me, why they were crying if I was OK.) 7a/4003

I could see all the people moving around and I felt this intense need to tell them that it didn't matter, that I was great, and I even seemed to not really understand what they were trying to accomplish. Why would you try to revive me? What would be the purpose? It seemed like I could not feel the desire that they felt as if I was removed and so I became entertained by watching them walk around and yell at each other. 21a/4001

I began floating above my body just watching, without any concern, just watching as they put me on the stretcher. 23a/3999

I thought everything was normal as I didn't remember my earthly life or ever having a body or ego. 26a/3994

I looked down and saw my body and the doctors working on me. I heard them yelling, "We are losing him." They struggled to get me back to life and I was so confused thinking, "Wow! Why do they bother? I don't need my body I'm fine, actually better than before." 38a/3975

[What emotions did you feel during the experience?] Detached, relaxed. 46a/3962

[What emotions did you feel during the experience?] Peaceful with a non-emotional listening state of awareness. 59a/3746

There was no sadness, no pain, no regret and no fear. All earthly thoughts were gone. I was going home. 60a/3764

I knew I belonged there, however I tried hard, and implore, implore, and implore to stay in this beautiful world, forgetting and/or not caring to leave my two daughters and mother behind. I didn’t care for leaving them; however I knew they were going to be alright. 77a/3920

[Has the experience affected your relationships? Daily life? Religious practices etc.? Career choices?] I have detached from certain worldly affairs. 60b/128

I gave no thought to my beloved pets, family, friends, or plans. I was so excited to go home. 97d/Defender

I had no memory at all of any previous life. 24a/3997

I thought everything was normal as I didn't remember my earthly life or ever having a body or ego. 26a/3994

I didn't remember anything about my life or anything in it. 50a/3957

... forgotten everything in this world. Even my name, husband, son, home where I reside, and time, day, month, year. Nothing is there in my mind. 53a/3957
