AngelicView: Thanks to Daniel,
for sharing his story. Translated to English from Spanish. Daniel had
Spinal Meningitis, but the doctors didn’t know it. He was in a hospital
in Peru, and dying. He had lost over 100 pounds and could not get out of
bed. He described himself an invalid. Then the NDE, which I will post
below. After he decided he wanted to come back to Earth, his body
healed. Not only that, but he had abilities of a prophet (although he
doesn’t tell us what he sees) and his grades improve greatly at
University. Especially in Math, he says – and I have found that is quite
common in NDE’s – that suddenly they just seem to understand Math
better.
Another interesting point about this story is that he sees his Angel as one with butterfly wings. This is similar to Dr. Eben Alexander’s experience and also the story of The Butterfly People of Joplin Missouri. I love it when I find similarities in NDE’s.
At
the time of my experience I was a 4th year student at Picardo Palma
University. One morning my mother came up to my room to see me because I
hadn’t come down for breakfast and I had to go to the university. She
found me with a fever. I told her I felt ill. She gave me a pill to
lower the fever, but it didn’t go down. I had the fever for 2 days and
nothing helped me feel better. They decided to call the doctor. He
came and examined me and said I possibly had pneumonia. He gave me an
injection but the fever stayed with me all night and got up to 102.2
degrees. That night my parents heard the dishes crash in the kitchen of
our house and heard something walking around in my bedroom but I didn’t
make a sound or hear anything.

Well,
they took me to the emergency room of the police hospital where they
gave me blood tests. The doctors came but could find nothing. They
didn’t know what was wrong with me. The fever went up to 104 degrees
and I began to lose weight very rapidly. I lost my appetite and they
moved me to the neurology department where a wonderful doctor took care
of me. He told me jokes. But I continued to lose weight. When the
illness began I weighed 171 pounds but I was now down to about 77
pounds.

I
began losing strength and my family and friends couldn’t understand
anything I said. They said I just made unintelligible sounds. I became
bitter because they couldn’t understand me and they gave me a pencil
and paper to communicate with them. I lost so much strength that I
couldn’t hold the pencil. I couldn’t eat by myself, either, or get
myself to the bathroom. I was practically an invalid. I could only
move my eyes.

My
father worked a great distance from the capital, in the district of
Moquegua, the port of Ilo, to be precise. He worked at the hospital of
the American company that mined copper in Toquepala. They called him
and told him I was getting worse by the day and the fever wouldn’t go
down from over 104 degrees. They put me in a room to die and
that day I had a very strange experience. The medical supply room was
about 65 feet from my room so I don’t know how I heard my father’s voice
as he talked with a doctor. It seemed as if they were conversing in my
ear very clearly. My father began crying and asked the doctor, “Why is
this happening to my son since he is at the start of his life and has
his whole life before him? I would prefer to die rather than my son. I
have lived a long time.” Tears came to my eyes. I wanted to be by his
side and tell him I loved him. I felt very sick but at the same time I
felt great love for my father.

A
little while later my father came into the room with a big smile. He
hugged and kissed me and asked how I was doing. He said, “I know you
are going to get better.” He didn’t know I had heard the whole
conversation with the doctor. I didn’t want to cry and cause him pain
but the tears got the better of me. The next day they called a priest
to come give me the last rites. I groaned and wanted him to go away.
It seems they understood my feelings and told him to leave.

I
didn’t want to go to sleep because I knew if I closed my eyes I would
die. In the afternoon I tried to close my eyes and I seemed to fall
into an infinite abyss. I opened my eyes and the nurse was at my side.
I had urinated on myself without realizing it. This day, as a last
resort, they took a spinal tap. The doctor didn’t know how to insert
the needle well and caused me a lot of pain and my face and hands
twisted up. They called the neurologist but my father came in and
smoothed out my face and hands and I was OK. They tested me by sticking
needles in the soles of my feet. I reacted well. They called another
neurologist to tap and I became tense because of the trauma of the first
attempt. I withstood the pain. There wasn’t much that time. It was
about 9 o’clock at night. I’m not really sure. There was a crucifix on
the wall in front of my bed. I prepared to meet God and told him I
couldn’t take any more. My family members told me that during the last
week my eyes went blank as I looked upward. I couldn’t take any more
and closed my eyes.
∞

I
suddenly felt absorbed into a dark tunnel that carried me upward.
Below me there was what appeared to be a flaming cloth but I was
traveling at high velocity. The strange thing is I didn’t collide with
the walls. Suddenly I saw a light that grew brighter and brighter as I
slowed down and I got nearer. I closed my eyes but could see the light
as well as when they were open. At first I resisted the light out of
fear and dread but gave myself over to its power. It was as if a
thousand atomic bombs exploded in front of you.
∞

Suddenly
I sensed I entered into the brightest part of a sun, then into the
least bright where I gave myself over and became part of an infinite
whole. I then felt transported to a world of light and I felt I was
being carried in God’s arms. The great light asked me how I felt and I
said I felt fine. All this dialog was communicated in thoughts. My
surroundings were warm and inviting like being in my mother’s womb.

He
told me to stay but I said “no.” He then carried me to a paradise, a
beautiful forest full of phosphorescent colors, yellow-blue waves. The
colors were alive. I was a few feet in the air. I no longer had a
body. I was pure vision. Suddenly, something like a butterfly came
toward me. It wasn’t a butterfly, it was a large angel. I don’t know
what gender
it was. It was beautiful. It had large wings. It carried me into
paradise for recreation. It also took me to a clear, transparent
river. The truth is I didn’t believe in angels at the time. Now I do.
∞

Then
I appeared once again with the great light and I could barely see some
old men with beards observing me from on high. I told God I wanted to
go back to take care of some things. He then took me to a kind of giant
screen and my life started regressing back to my childhood and I was
aware of some faults I had. I felt like an embarrassed child full of
remorse. I believe those who have serious faults must feel like they
are burning. That must be hell. I don’t believe in a hell that burns
people because God is love and He can’t burn anybody. It is the
conscience of each person that makes one feel whatever they deserve.

Suddenly
I opened my eyes and I was in my hospital bed. I had the urge to pee.
I pulled out the needles in my arms, the tube in my nose, and felt that
my strength had returned. I tried to stand up little by little. I
felt electricity in my legs. I grabbed onto the wall and left the
room. Everybody in the adjoining beds were shocked and called the
doctors and nurses. I wouldn’t let anybody grab me. I got to the
bathroom and peed, all on my own. On the way back I let them help
support me. The next day I ate gelatin without help. The doctors were
amazed at my recovery. Three days later I was almost normal except I
had many dizzy spells. The diagnosis was that I had meningitis. I was
unable to stand on one foot, and I was unable to pass some tests like
grabbing the tip of my nose and others. After 7 days they discharged
me. I told some people about my experience and they said I was crazy.
My own doctor had me get psychiatric help because I said that I spoke
with God.
∞

After
the experience I would leave my body at night when I would go to
sleep. I couldn’t get back and it was terrible. It was a nightmare for
me. But over time and by researching what had happened to me, I began
meditating and started having many experiences outside the norm. It
would take a long time to relate everything.

Please
forgive me for all the typos. I’m writing as rapidly as I can because
others are waiting for the computer. Thank you very much. If this
helps anyone I will be happy and satisfied.
∞
Everything was a divine, striking experience, where just talking about it or remembering it makes me want to cry.
Profound
feelings, I don’t know how to explain them. Timelessness. It is
another dimension of love, love, love, love, love, love………
∞
The
great angel moved about. It did not fly but it had wings. They did
not flap but it moved. God, as far as I am concerned, is light. My
concept of God is light…not Jesus.
∞
I
returned much more spiritual, with a great social consciousness. I
started visiting orphanages to take used clothing. I took rice,
noodles, food to my poor family members. I taught Karate free where
there was a lot of poverty. I believe in Buddha, Christ, Krishna,
Mohammed, in the sun as a representation of God in the physical world. I
learned to love and to work at forgiveness.
∞
What I can tell you is that some of my friends now consider me to be a seer, a prophet.
∞
My
friends considered me crazy when I left the hospital. Many years later
I saw a movie that said many people have experienced life after life. I
began to cry in the theater. I wanted to tell everybody that what they
were seeing was true. Since that day I have been more at peace. I
knew that many have had the experience. I felt very happy. I have
always wanted to have a friend who had had this experience. But I don’t
feel alone anymore.
∞
At
school, I was never good at math. When I returned to the university I
was among the best and I arrived at the answers differently than anyone
else. I was also good at philosophy and I was always searching for God.
∞
For
me, it was an invitation from God to experience a more rapid personal
change in myself. I know that by consciously meditating one can arrive
at higher levels of consciousness. I have a greater understanding of
life. I know that by simply dying, there is a very special place
awaiting where God will receive us.
