What can one say after this type of experience. Yes, I sensed the light. Yes, it was truly unconditional love. But beyond that my near death experience became my life experience, as it does for all of us who have traveled this road of self discovery.

Everything seems so much clearer. Through the blackness and obscurity of death I discovered life is infinite, bringing me into the light of this limitless form of expression. It takes an act of faith and of free will to move into this new dimension of self expression. Who am I? Why did I live? These are the questions we all ask. Through these experiences, we hopefully learn to flow as does a river. Divine Mind is abundant in Goodness and Truth.

We all have free will, and through those choices that we freely make, we determine our reality and the consequences that come with it. Forgiving iniquity and transgression by no means clears the feelings of guilt or residual energy. Hopefully, we can release those feelings through increasing our knowledge of self and the strength of the foundation we stand on.

I have learned that I am a man who makes mistakes and tries to learn from them. And I hold the consciousness of those mistakes I've committed. Perhaps I lived to learn to be better, to learn to understand that through forgiving we find forgiveness and through understanding we find compassion. I often thought of these feelings as I held my mother while she was waiting to die. I like to think of Near Death Experiences as only experiences of life lived and felt on different levels beyond and within the comprehension of our mortal beings. We carry those stories within each of us.

My life has been blessed in so many ways. In sharing our stories, we share our history and impart knowledge of the human spirit. Through the human spirit we find comfort and strength. Many of us have shared experiences, having overcome mortal and human odds, beating the statistics, all due to Divine inspiration and importation into that dimensional side of our expression. I share with you just one of those stories, a bit of my personal journey.

In October of 1982 I was struck head on by another car, then rear ended and sent into a spin and roll. I was shot from the car into the grill, then wheels of an oncoming auto and thrown onto the pavement shattering the right side of my skull, my right shoulder, collar bone, ribs and hip.

A State Trooper did CPR until the ambulance arrived. I was briefly resuscitated, then resuscitated again. The only recall I have is of a soothing bright white light shining down on me, and I heard someone, a male voice, saying, "He's not going to make it." I woke up three months later, shocking and startling my immediate care nurse. During this time I recall watching the people in my room and hearing muffled words. I was chemically restrained, kept inactive mentally and physically so my body could heal. But most of all I recall the soothing warmth of Divine Consciousness and its unconditional love. Even now it seems as if I do not fit in this body. I feel my energy pulsing forth from its confining framework and then settling back into it. It is the rhythm of nature, of infinite awareness and Divine consciousness, unfettered by time and space, knowing no limits, only limitless expression of the universal perfection that we are all part of.

Often I would sit with my head in my hands and think, "Am I going to make it ?" There were times of great discouragement and despair, not to mention frustration. I'd reach for something and my body or mind wouldn't allow me to move my arms or hands to get to it. My mind worked fine, but my body wasn't there. I'd try to walk but would collapse under my own body weight.

Thoughts would fill my mind, yet, I had no vocabulary skills and could not communicate the thoughts. I couldn't form the words or make sentences. Then this miracle occurred. I began resonating with this powerful energy. I could feel the sensation start at my tail bone or the small of my back. It was warm and tingling and would spread upward to my mid-shoulder or heart area, then up my neck to the top of my head where my hair felt like it was rising. Then I began understanding. I later found this type of energy movement relates to the kundalini. This is the energy that rises through the spinal column to awaken the higher self of the individual.

So often we take for granted showering, putting on our shoes, feeding ourselves, being able to think and construct thought, finding our way home and not getting lost, reading and writing, the warmth of a summer day, and the coolness of autumn. Life is abundant and limitless. Sure there were times of frustration, anger and tears. But by releasing that and focusing on the end goal of positive affirmation I am here today. God's will, Universal laws of allowing and Unconditional love - these are our foundation.

I began to focus on what I knew to be true, that I would heal, that I would walk, and that I would be independent. The knowledge and ability came quickly. Allowing myself to recognize the power and process of 'YES,' that Divine Mind unconditionally gives us, allowed me to move forward.

This story is not unique. What is unique is that I became whole and born again. Having been held in the Universe's hand, in God's grace and cradled in the unconditional love of family and friends who never gave up on me, I became better than I had ever been. My slate was wiped clean, my past erased. I can now write about it and say everything was a wonderful learning experience and a joy. The adventure of learning, of moving forward, of finding my own sense of humanity was the greatest gift of this experience.

In the creating process you define who you are and what you are. The desire of inner perfection is nothing more than a reflection of the Divine aspect of you that is already within you. Hear your inner voice and stand on the foundation of your belief system.

Consciously change the thought of the 'you' that you perceive yourself to be, to the 'you' who you expect your higher self to be. In this process you discover that the point of living is not to get to a point in time, but to appreciate where you are at this specific moment. Resonate with it, learn from it, and learn how to apply the higher aspect of your inner self to that place and to that lesson.

These are the "tools" I have leaned upon. Combined with prayer to Divine Mind and the Universe they access unlimited abilities for positive, forward movement. Only humans are judgmental and they judge themselves the harshest of all. The perfection of the Universe is within each of us. Let go and let the Divine Spirit and Universal perfection which is in you embrace the Divine Spirit and Universal perfection in another. Focus on this. Manifest the positive affirmation in who you are and who you see your higher self to be.

Energy is not good nor bad, in and of itself. It is how we manifest that energy which shapes our individual experiences. Illness is an extension of "errorous" thought, or the manifestation of negative thought. Healing and wellness are also projections of the energy we manifest. We become the expression of our own truth.

Life is interesting. I have learned that things are not always what they seem and reality is what you make it. I have learned that we chose our path at conception. It is shaped during gestation and manifested through the process of free will. We bring to our perspectives our simple interpretation of this physical plane into our realities. There are no accidents, only chosen learning experiences and personal sacrifices. Time is not what we think it is, it is limitless and infinite. We make our own boundaries and limitations. Perception is when our mind and body follow. We can change our reality, we can rewrite our script. Through Divine Mind all is possible and nothing is impossible.

The importance of the small unspoken thoughts and deeds are what are important now - to be able to say I love you, to be able to show unconditional love. During the death experience was the only time I felt unconditional love and warmth. My three month coma passed in the blink of an eye, in a blur of a forgotten reality.

Self worth is very important. It is being accountable to one's self for one's own actions. To have a core that goes beyond your own limits allows you to be limitless. I now speak to God and pray daily. Not for myself, but for healing, for others, for the world and for humankind. Only as one can we redesign this hectic world we live in.

This simple prayer has helped me create space for others in my day and allowed me to be more compassionate and understanding when it would be easier to gossip or say something harsh. It intends that the day will be blessed by Divine Mind and the movement of allowing will flow easily, creating space for all to 'just be'. We are not in control. We are not here to intervene on behalf of anyone. We live in the 'here and now' and must allow others the same respect and freedom. It is up to us to know that what they are doing is right for them. We all must learn to accept and live in our own 'here and now'. Live in the present and move toward the future.

I now sense life and its frequencies. I feel with other people and understand that we all are special. So much energy. My inner self is strong and focused. Divine light shines upon my days and feeds my soul. I am here due to Divine Mind. I am not who I was. God is truly Good!
