Experience description:
I was at home. I was tired from the holidays and my children were here, my wife was working. The previous day we had returned from the house of a family member, we had seen him and spent some days in his house. It was a 650 Km trip to return, by car. As I have mentioned, I was tired from getting up, I spent the morning doing things. I made lunch and myself and the children ate. After clearing the table, I decided to rest, and see if when I get up, would I feel better. My children were watching a film. I lay down, and slept. I don't know how much time had passed, but at a particular moment I was in another place. It was very dark, it's hard to explain in words, but I will try as much as is possible. In front of me was a wall, it was made of concrete blocks, like the grey ones used to make store shops, but the wall was totally black.
I don't know how to explain it but I was conscious of everything, there was nothing near me, there was this wall in front of me, perfectly made, the joints between the bricks were calling my attention, they were perfect. Now I have to explain how I felt, step by step, but I would like to make clear that it happened all at once, I am unable to explain it in any other way. I knew all these things at once - 1st. I knew that I was "me", but a "me" in a
greater sense and more inclusive sense, than I am able to describe.
2nd I knew that I had died.
3rd I knew that my body was on the other side of the black wall.
4th I knew that I was floating in the air, and to me it seemed most natural, because I was out of my body, and this was my natural state. 5th It was a static state ( note - est tica = static ecstatica = ecstatic) everything was static, but I knew that if I wanted to I could get away because I was in control.
6th I knew that I could go through the wall. Sorry to repeat myself, but I can't explain what I felt, I was conscious of all this at once, there was no order. 7th I wanted to look at my body, so I decided to go through the wall, and see it as I was convinced my body was behind that wall. In this way I decided to go through, and the instant I decided to go through, slowly, and I was amazed, it was a kind of sliding through the air, I got to the wall, and kept on going, and going through there was no way of explaining it, there there began the most anxious part, I was in a corner, with another wall almost the same, also black, it gave me the feeling I was in a much smaller place, on the left were many pipes, but to my dismay, my body wasn't there, I knew that soon, something strange would happen, and I suddenly realized that I hadn't been able to go further, but now it was voluntarily, the moment I thought that, and I don't know how to describe it, the instant that I though this I don't know how to say it, it felt like a force sucking me in, I knew that I was going through another wall, but it frightened me, because this wall was a boundary, and I didn't know if I had gone through it . But I had the presentiment, that I shouldn't do it. Then I started to resist myself, with all my strength, and when I arrived at the wall, I heard a very strange type of sound, like a long chirp, of a door, but a bit different, a deafening and grave sound, then I knew, that I was once again in my body, and I sat up in bed, I needed air, and my heart palpitated very rapidly, as never before, and I felt the palpitations in every part of my body.
