Met Jesus

I was fifteen at the time this happened, but I still have an extremely clear recollection of it. I am 51 now. Things were really bad at home - mostly between my mother & myself. There were contstant arguments and punishments and deals made that were broken. My dad worked so much it was if he wasn't there anyway. And my mother made sure that we were somewhat scared of our father anyway. Just things like if Dadddy was coming home we had to be quiet and keep out of the way.

Anyway all the turmoil was just too much to take and I took a bunch of pills and just laid down on my bed and waited for it all to end. I haf no expectatins. My mother's choice off religeons had taught me all the years of my life that when you die you know nothing until after Armageddon and you are resurrected and given another chance in paradise like conditions. Basically, if I thought about it at all, I figured I would just be gone - over and done with. That is not how things turned out to be at all.

My experience is that I found myself floating in a field of the most beautiful green. It was very pleasant and finally peaceful. I felt a total and unconditinal love surrounding me. The field just kept on going and going over one hill and the next. I didn't mind or even think about being there and not having someplace to go to. I just felt so alve and beautiful and peaceful and loving. Then, just on the next hill, there was a male figure, robed in white. I knew telepathically that once I reached this person everything would be absolutely allright. I was miving toward this figure, whom I instinctually knew to be Jesus Christ, when I heard a voice calling my name. It annoyed me somewhat. At that same time the message came through clearly that I had a choice. I could stay and go with Jesus or I could go back to my life. I had a recognition that I had chose that life; that there were reasons why I had been born to those exact two people and had my brother and my sisters. Not only that but that I had a connection with all living things on earth, even the rocks and stones. There is oneness to it all. I knew then that the things I had always seemed to just know were the truth about life itself. I felt a firmness in my knowledge of things that I had argued about with my Mom - especailly about religeon.

This all happened in an instance. I kept hearing this voice calling my name. It seemed to come from behind me. In the instance that I felt the firmness of my knowledge and knowing that having made the choice to be in the life I was I had made a committment with God - I chose to return. Wham - I was back in my bed fully concious with my Mom standing over me yelling my name loudly. I have never forgot the love I felt during that experience.

Life hasn't always been the easiest. Actually, looking back it has been darn hard. Having had that experience doesn't mean that life will be a bed of roses. But I will tell you that the memory has helped me in times of stres and turmoil. I have had a hard time in one way. And that is that I seem to be able to feel the people around me. I tend to absorb their pain and emotional conflicts. It is really hard when people lie to me. I feel that physically. I am very intuitive and often just "know" things. I have no idea where the information comes from, but I trust it and mostoften act on it. When I don't, things don't turn out too well. My advice is follow that gut instinct. It will never be worng.

Within the year of having that experience, I left home when I was sixteen. I supported myself working in a restaurant and eventually managed the second retaurant when the owners opened it. I was only 18 years old and had all that responsibility. The restaurant was successful when I managed it. Another sort of weird thing about my life is that I have always know since I was at least six years old that I would have one child and that it would be a boy. I knew what he would look like and the sort of person that he would turn out to be. I knew him before he was born. When I did have my son, I could hardly wait for him to grow up. He has turned out to be exactly the person I always knew. We are very close and I am extremely proud of him. They say there are no accidents. I believe that.

Recently my husband & I have had a very hurtful falling out after thirty one years together. It was just the other day that I remembered about sychronicity (sp)and realized that I would not have the son I have today if I had made a baby with anyone else other than my husband. If it had been someone else, I wouldn't have had the same person come into my life and I would have missed this son of mine. Somehow that has helped me towards forgiving my husband. There is so much else that has happened in my life that I could probably write a book - maybe one day!
Hope this goes out to people who really need to know that your life doesn't just end and there is no existance after you pass on.
