I shouldn't be there and was told it was not my time and that I should return to finish my life's work.  4a/4023

Then this Being next to me said that it was time to go now and I will see them again but it was not my time yet.  13a/4015

He told me that it was not my time to enter into my heavenly home but had a mission to fulfill.  18a/4009

An unknown, but very clear voice, said to me: "No, you're not going to die, it's really not your time yet.  22a/3992

The figure told me "You must go back, we are not ready for you yet."  47a/3961

I was told I have to come back and take care of my kids. I was told to be more understanding toward my mother. [Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?] I feel we are sent here to love one another in this big circle of life. Life to me is a big learning experience for all of us, almost like life is high school where you learn all you need to know and when you are finished you graduate to a higher realm which is heaven.  48a/3959

One of them said, “No. It’s not time yet. We have to take you back.”  60a/3764

We got to a white bridge and I was ready to go over when the presence said it was okay to go over but told me I had three small children on this side. So I remained on this side.  65a/3939

"I don't want to go back down there; it is painful." "You Must! Your Mission is Not Yet Complete!"  80a/3919

Then the main lady talking to me said, "It's not your time yet you have to go back." Then she said, "Think about it ..you remember," then it was clear at that moment, I said to her, "I'm dead aren't I?" She said, "Yes, but its not your time yet, you have to go back. You are our go-between."  26b/N. P.

[Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?] Yes, I feel that when death comes close, this one, death, allows you to choose whether you want to go or stay. If you let yourself go by the extremely nice sensation you are feeling, you will not think of coming back to earth. But if you think of the ties you have in this world (in my own case, I wanted to see my daughter) you are given another chance to stay. Something like that.  31b/3655

A voice said to me: "Richard, why are you here?" I said: "I want to come home." The voice replied: "It's not time yet. You have more work to do. You have a family that loves you and that you need to take care of."  44b/2236

The next memory I have was standing again outside the light in the delivery room and saying, "I choose to live," which I presume was a decision to come back on earth for my mission was unfinished.  61b/33
