17 Real Near Death Experices That Will Change Your Mindset by darnley16(m): 3:58pm On Sep 15, 2014
Seventeen Case-Studies of the Near-Death
Experience Follow
1. An example of the out-of-body component of the near-
death experience is the case of Jazmyne Cidavia-
DeRepentigny of Hull Georgia. She died on the operating
table during surgery in late 1979 (pages 10-11, paperback
version, "BEYOND THE LIGHT"wink:
"I must say that this experience was quite unsettling to say
the least. I was floating over my body. I could see and hear
everything that was being said and done. I left the room for
a short while and then returned to where my body lay. I
knew why I died. It was because I couldn't breathe. There
was a tube down my throat and the medical staff did not
have an oxygen mask on my nose. I had also been given too
much anesthetic.
"In my out-of-body state, I'm using my mind to try and
make my right arm and hand move - my arms are extended
parallel to my physical body. I want my right hand to move,
any thing to move. I was trying to pull the tube out of my
mouth. I looked down at my face and tears were
streaming. One of the nurses blotted the tears from my
face but she didn't notice my breathing had stopped, nor did
she see me next to her. At this point, I'm trying really hard
to make my physical arm move, but it's like my whole body
is made of lead."
Cidavia-DeRepentigny's determination in her out-of-body
state to make an arm move finally paid off; and, with great
clamor and commotion, the tube was pulled out, an oxygen
mask attached, and her breathing restored. She had a
similar near-death episode when she was hospitalized at
thirteen, and again in 1991 when she faced death a third
time. The more recent occurrence resulted from a nearly
fatal bout with pneumonia, only this time she witnessed her
own soul as a spirit residing outside of her body:
"I could see my spirit standing before me. My spirit was so
beautifully perfect, dressed in a white gown that was loose,
free-flowing, and below the knee. From my spirit there
emanated a bright, soft-white halo. My spirit was standing
six to eight feet from my body. It was so strange, for I
could see my spirit and my spirit could see my pathetic
body. I had not an ounce of color and I looked all withered
and cold and lifeless. My spirit felt warm and so, so
celestial. As my spirit slowly moved away, my spirit told my
body goodbye, for my spirit saw the light and wanted to go
into it. The light was like a circular opening that was warm
and bright."
Cidavia-DeRepentigny spoke of feeling torn between two
worlds - wanting to remain on earth while at the same time
feeling a strong pull to unite with her spirit self and pass into
the light. After another round of hospitalization, she was
left confused and disoriented, ready to change her life yet
hesitant to begin. She lamented about the lack of people
she could discuss her situation with, although her church
bishop did express some degree of understanding. Her
lament is commonly shared by most experiencers.

2. The case of Robin Michelle Halberdier of Texas City, Texas,
illustrates the overwhelming sense of love experiencers
often encounter in the light. Her near-death episode took
place in a hospital when she was between one and two
months of age. Born prematurely, and with Hyaline
Membrane disease, she was not expected to live (pages
12-13, paperback version, "BEYOND THE LIGHT"wink:
"My first visual memory was looking forward and seeing a
brilliant bright light, almost like looking directly at the sun.
The strange thing was that I could see my feet in front of
me, as if I were floating upward in a vertical position. I do
not remember passing through a tunnel or anything like
that, just floating in the beautiful light. A tremendous
amount of warmth and love came from the light.
"There was a standing figure in the light, shaped like a
normal human being, but with no distinct facial features. It
had a masculine presence. The light I have described
seemed like it emanated from that figure. Light rays shone
all around him. I felt very protected and safe and loved.
"The figure in the light told me through what I now know to
be mental telepathy that I must go back, that it was not
time for me to come here. I wanted to stay because I felt
so full of joy and so peaceful. The voice repeated that it
wasn't my time; I had a purpose to fulfill and I could come
back after I completed it.
"The first time I told my parents about my experience was
right after I began to talk. At the time, I believed that what
happened to me was something everyone experienced. I
told my mom and dad about the big glass case I was in after
I was born, and the figure in the light and what he said to
me. They took my reference to the glass case to mean the
incubator. My father was a medical student at the time, and
he had read a book about near-death experiences. From
comparing the information in the book with what I told
them, they decided that's what I was describing. My mom
told me all of this years later when I brought the subject up
again.
"I began attending church at the age of five, and I would
look at the picture of Jesus in the Bible and tell my mom
that's who it was in the light. I still have many physical
difficulties with my health because of being premature. But
there is a strong need inside me that I should help others
with what death is, and talk to terminally ill patients. I was
in the other world and I know there is nothing to be afraid of
after death."

3. I found that both adults and children occasionally report
being greeted on The Other Side by animals, especially if
favored pets have previously died. But it is the children who
describe an animal heaven, some even insisting that they
must go through it before they can reach the heaven where
people are. Adult cases can be equally compelling.
Several years before his death, Bryce Bond, a famous New
York City media personality turned parapsychologist, shared
with me the story of what happened to him when he once
collapsed after a violent allergic reaction to pine nuts and
was rushed to a hospital. He remembered suddenly passing
through a long tunnel toward a brilliant light, and then
(pages 13-14, paperback version, "BEYOND THE LIGHT"wink:
"I hear a bark, and racing toward me is a dog I once had, a
black poodle named Pepe. When I see him, I feel an
emotional floodgate open. Tears fill my eyes. He jumps
into my arms, licking my face. As I hold him, he is real, more
real than I had ever experienced him. I can smell him, feel
him, hear his breathing, and sense his great joy at being with
me again.
"I put my dog on the ground, and step forward to embrace
my stepfather, when a very strong voice is heard in my
consciousness. Not yet, it says. I scream out, Why? Then
this inner voice says, What have you learned, and whom have
you helped? I am dumb-founded. The voice seems to be
from without as well as within. Everything stops for a
moment. I have to think of what was asked of me. I cannot
answer what I have learned, but I can answer whom I have
helped.
"I feel the presence of my dog around me as I ponder those
two questions. Then I hear barking, and other dogs appear,
dogs I once had. As I stand there for what seems to be an
eternity. I want to embrace and be absorbed and merge. I
want to stay. The sensation of not wanting to come back is
overwhelming."
Bryce was also greeted by all of his relatives who had
passed on before him. He experienced these loved ones as
somewhat younger in form and face than when he had last
seen them, healthier and happier. He remembered racing
backward through the same tunnel he had entered when it
was time to leave and reviving in time to witness a
hypodermic needle being plunged into his arm. "I heard a
voice say, 'Welcome back.' I never asked who said that nor
did I care. I was told by the doctor that I had been dead for
over ten minutes."
