And I felt myself going. I was in a great deal of pain. It was a very frightening experience I began to slip. I just started to feel myself going, and I remember trying to hold on “I’ll be ok, I’ll be ok” and it got to a point where I just couldn’t. And everything began to just become very quiet and I can remember with every ounce of strength I had, I wanted to say goodbye to my wife. It was important to me. And I did, I remember just turning my head and looking at her and saying: “I’m gonna die” “Goodbye Joan”, and I did. It was then that I experienced what we call a near death experience, for me it was nothing near about it, it was there. It was a total immersion in light, brightness, warmth, peace, security. I did not have an out-of-body experience, I did not see my body or any one about me. I just immediately went into this beautiful bright light. It’s difficult to describe. As a matter of fact is impossible to describe, verbally it cannot be expressed, it’s something which becomes you and you become it. I could say that I was peace, I was love, I was the brightness, it was part of me.

It’s just so beautiful! It was eternity. It’s like I was always there, and I will always be there. That my existence on earth was very brief, instant. I could say that I was peace, I was love, I was the brightness, it was part of me.
