Chapter Two
OUR AMAZING POWERS
|
I traveled through my spinal cord to my extremities. I went down my right leg no problem. I tried to go down my left leg but there was no connection to my leg. I came up through my viscera and into my heart, circled my ribcage, down my arms and back into my brain. I went to my medulla oblongata or what I perceived to be the center of my brain and like a captain I threw the switches. I said ok, brain, lets get this body going. I told my heart to pump and my blood to flow but to clot at my hip. I then tried to breathe. A great whistling came from my breath. When I tried to open my eyes all I saw was blood, a sheet of sticky red paste was covering my eyes. I blinked and cleared it away. I then tried to move and a sound like a bag of stones rattled up my spine into my head and my brain and I stopped moving.―Bridget F's NDE |
Extreme Vision. Right after we leave our bodies (1) we can see from more than one viewpoint at the same time; (2) just by wanting a closer view we can zoom in; (3) we can see clearly in the dark; and (4) everything we see has a crystal clarity far greater than with physical eyesight―as if our eyes were a pair of foggy goggles.

I became aware of my senses at that moment and how much more detailed everything seemed and how it all appeared more focused and more sharp. It was like I was seeing the world for the first time with my own true eyes. It was the equivalent of taking off a pair of foggy ski-goggles or glasses. 5a/4025 I could still see and looked in all directions. 26a/3994 Suddenly found myself in the bedroom hovering over the bed looking at the clock and thinking, "Well when you are like this you can see perfectly without your glasses." 33a/2034 [Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision ... ?] Straight after I came out of the tunnel I felt as if I was there but without being there. 35a/3963 I thought, "This is Death? How can I see if I have no eyes?" 38a/3975 My realization was that I saw me from a new direction, and I watched myself for a few more moments. 39a/3897 The perspective of my memory at that point changed from looking up at him to looking down at the top and back of his head and myself from above. 40a/3972 My vision was extremely clear and intense--as if being in a body was like being in a lens, and now it was clear. 44a/3966 I could see everything. Distance didn't matter. Everything was so much more real. 52a/3955 There is a super eye in our consciousness...I believe in this...the clarity of the vision is very much more powerful than the regular one. 53a/3957 There was no light. Everything was black and yet I could see clearly. 58a/2021 I had an altered type of vision because even though I was above the car I could "see" inside the car with a sort of "super vision." 76a/3958 As for the field of view, it encompasses all. 78a/3916 Although I was lying with my back towards the window, I was looking out of that window. 79a/3865 I seemed to be able to see my face although I was facing my back. 85a/3909 I could see farther, and almost a night-vision type look sight. I could see the trees perfectly clearly even though my headlights weren't showing them, and there were no street lights. 91a/3893 Perception is different, you are not an observer, things happen within yourself, everything enters into you, vision comes towards you and it is something in a straight line, you are not aware of the sides, there is no lateral vision. 95a/3896 I seemed to have a spherical view 360º vertically as well as horizontally. 97a/3891 I seem to think I was able to go vast distances very quickly to see what I needed to see or they wanted me to see. 3b/3840 My senses are two dimensional now, but not during this experience. The best way to describe it would be that I could sense an added depth to things. This life seems flat compared to the other. 7b/3857 My peripheral vision was wider and I could see energy patterns around the trees as I passed, kind of like those optic fiber flowers you can buy. 26b/N. P. [Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision ...?] I do not know if you know how big the letters on the label of a medicine bottle are. From the glass room I was in to the other end of the intensive care, it was about 15 meters (45 feet). Either I was standing next to them when a patient was administered medication, or I watched from my room. 48b/2819 While floating above the scene and seeing everything as if it were transparent. 52b/3710 I began to develop panoramic eyesight like a raptor. 55b/214 [Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision ...?] In the degree of my perception. 56b/2460 My field of vision was enormous. I could see what was in front of me as well as part of what was behind me. Luminosity was very great. 65b/4038 I felt that I was able to zero in on any thing or anyone simply by drawing my attention to them regardless of the distance. 66b/2359 Normally I would wear glasses. During this experience, I could see clearly without them. 70b/3335 It was like watching High Definition TV, as compared to normal: all people and things were vivid; there was no darkness or shadows. 84b/2176 One sense I recall was my sight zooming in closer. It was like it targeted right into the scene below with my body with a zoom in and out quality. As though just thinking about wanting a better view would "zoom" my sight in closer even though I was still on the ceiling level. 86b/633 Although it was the worst darkness I have ever experienced, yet I could still see very well. 7c/2470 The first thing I noticed was my vision--the ability of my physical vision. From the mountain top I was standing on, the valley seemed to be MANY miles away, at least ten or so, maybe more. But I could see clearly every detail of both sides of the valley as I could the other. If one of the people were to have had a note in their hand, or two people had a note for instance, I would have been able to read them on both sides of the valley at one time. I don't remember seeing anything specifically, but I do remember how well I was able to see. 9d/Feb. 25, 2002 Although it was night, I could see everything, neighbor's houses, etc. 61d/Nov. 11, 2003 It "said," "In heaven (obvious god or Christian reference), what you need to understand is you do not need eyes to see." ... I knew that people need to understand you don't see with eyes in heaven because eyes are part of the body and are necessary to see physically. When you are dead, you no longer have eyes to see with. 71d/March 4, 2004 I had lost my physical form and became a sphere where I could see all around me at once. It felt like a perfectly natural shape for me. 85d/Oct. 26, 2004 I had a general overview or a birds-eye view. Plus I had the ability to focus quite closely on where I needed to (or where there was danger). It was as if my mind was a television camera with the ability to focus in at close range. Essentially, I had the sensation of experiencing the events from various perspectives. 96d/Recall You can see everything at the same time; there is no field of vision. 12e/Where I Was These images were all around me 360 degrees of vision in a circle that curved up and away like a bowl. I watched as a section of the image became clear and bright. 25e/360º Vision I had the strangest thought that we are all floating around in a gas. Where we are going, there is no gas and everything is crystal clear, like diamonds. Here we are looking through a foggy gas, kind of like when it is very hot and you see those heat waves on a road as you drive. 26e/Infinite Entity I remember thinking, "Wait a minute, this isn't what it's supposed to be like." I knew my eyes were closed, but I could still see everything. 44e/Cannot Go I could see like there wasn't darkness just like a person can see when there is light in a room, but everything is black. 53e/Floating My eyes were not like earth eyes and I could see different there. 80e/Love, Learn It's as if I'm all eyes. I can see even behind me and darkness is all there is to see. ... He had long shoulders, brownish-fair slightly curly hair, a longish face darkened by a short beard and the most amazing eyes. They had a colour between pale blue and light grey. Although I knew he was there I never turned toward him. 85e/Home I could see clearly, even though it was dark and I was under the ice and moving downstream. 7f/Rob I remembered the feeling of being warm and looking down at myself in the bed. I was only three at the time and doubt that I could have imagined what things would look like from that angle. 40f/Little Girl I remember looking at my shoulder now in my chest from a weird perspective. As if my eyes were centered just above and to the left of my left ear. As if I were looking over my own shoulder. 48f/Mark J. |
Mind-to-Mind Communication. Obviously without a body we have no brain or mouth with which to speak. But it's no problem.

They spoke to me with thought and I knew they were like me. 4a/4023 When the person reached me we spoke through thought. 18a/4009 Communication was telepathic, I didn't hear them speak, but it was as if I knew what they were telling me. 25a/3991They spoke to me, yet they had no mouths to speak, I just knew what they were saying. 28a/3989 A telepathic dialogue took place in which certain questions were asked and I was compelled to answer truthfully. 36a/3982 My guide spoke to me through my mind. 37a/3977 I didn't know all of them, they were greeting me telepathically. 45a/3964 The "being" spoke to me although the words were not heard with my ears. It was as if someone was speaking in my head, although it was not my voice I heard. 47a/3961 I remember knowing the purpose of life and why we are all here, as if someone was speaking to me. 50a/3957 Strangely though it seemed like I didn't need to hear words. I could just feel what they were saying. 52a/3955 The voice answered my thought with words of comfort, and peacefully suggested that it was not my time to go. 59a/3746We communicated--telepathically? Don't know how else to describe it. 73a/3928 I remember bits and pieces of a "conversation" without words. 76a/3958 He read my mind and answered the questions I had in my head. 78a/3916 We communicated telepathically; no lips or mouth movements; all thoughts. 80a/3919 They talked to me through thought not sound. 82a/3915 I don’t remember if I said that in words or by telepathy. 83a/3917 It was like my inner conscience was talking to me. ... Again, the inner conscience 'spoke', and asked, "Are you sure?" 84a/3913 We communicated mentally only. 86a/3911 I wanted to go to the “sun” but someone telepathically told me I couldn’t. 98a/3886 There was a silent direct communication, which I am not able to “translate” into written or spoken words, neither specially into an image. 100a/3876 They communicated things to me in a way that I am not able to express them in words. How would I express something with two-dimensional communication tools that are four-dimensional? 7b/3857Heard no voices but there was communication, knowledge and understanding. 24b/2764 This person was transparent but I could still see him smiling at me and saying to me, but not talking with his mouth but his mind, telling me, "Everything is fine." 35b/698There was no hearing as such, more like telepathy. 41b/3123 Thoughts and ideas were being imparted to me as though people were talking to me. 55b/214 They communicated with me with their minds, never spoke one word. 80b/2854 I didn't need to hear words. I could just feel what they were saying. 81b/3955 They were greeting me telepathically. 87b/3964 Something was communicating with me telepathically, and every thought was instant. What the conversation was I don't remember. 88b/4066 I think the communication was telepathic, we didn’t talk in the usual way. 101b/1089 We were communicating through mental telepathy. 4d/Feb. 5, 2002 Communication was really different, as I didn't speak. I felt thoughts welling up inside of me and they were answered immediately. There were no words. It seemed that it was all feeling, all intuitive. Knowledge of anything I wanted to know was instantly transferred without language. 11d/April 4, 2002 He communicated telepathically. 23d/Sept. 8, 2002 I remember hearing the prayers people would say in their heads as the Reverend prayed over me. I heard people’s personal thoughts about me. 25d/Oct. 13, 2002Our talking was done by thinking. But it wasn't intruding on one's thoughts. 26d/Oct. 27, 2002 All communication was telepathic. 40d/May 15, 2003 One figure approached me and asked politely, "What are you doing here?" Telepathy. 42d/May 21, 2003 A communication occurred, through instantaneous osmosis, rather than our human verbalization. 46d/Sept. 8, 2002 The being pointed and no words but I could hear it speak, “Go now, you are not done." 47d/June 2, 2003 We talked a lot, but I can’t remember our mouths moving. 62d/Dec. 11, 2003 No one talked. It was like 'thought transfer' or something. 66d/Jan. 3, 2004Something "spoke" to me but it was like the words were given straight to my conscience. 71d/March 4, 2004 I remember saying, but not speaking, “I don't want to leave.” I could hear the voice in my head saying, “Not now, your children need you, look up.” 76d/April 30, 2004 Although I don't believe that there was any verbal communication, there was perfect understanding. 78d/April 30, 2004 I ‘heard’ in my mind that my father had died, but that I would see him again in a long time (when I was about 76). 84d/Sept, 1, 2004 A voice said to me: "Go back, it is not your time yet." This is also strange as it was not really a voice I heard, but more like a thought that was running through my brain (consciousness). 92d/Jan. 3, 2005 I would have been very willing to try to find a reasonable, scientific explanation for what was happening until the staff realised I was actually reading their thoughts. They were all scared and I was also. At first I didn't know I was doing this. It seemed very natural and like real speech. I kept getting upset by their comments until they pointed out I shouldn't have heard them. ... At the time I was trying to dismiss it as a reaction to the anesthetic because I was terrified by what was happening, but one of the surgeons said, "That doesn't explain why you are reading my mind." ... I gave the doctor some details about his personal life that no one else knew. He was shocked and embarrassed. I picked words out of his head and said them back to him. He confirmed accuracy. I did this to all of the staff and asked them to say out loud if I was correct. This is when they started to look a bit nervous. I got them to acknowledge, out loud, that it's very unusual for a patient to wake up from the anesthetic with the ability to read minds. 96d/Recall It was as if we communicated in a form of a direct transfer of thoughts and ideas, a mind-to-mind kind of language. 1e/Lucid Everything said was all telepathic as if energy thoughts coming across. Communication was fast. I didn't have to wait or think about it. I just knew. ... I realized how great communication is without words. Mouthing words is so slow. 3e/Communication We started to communicate telepathically. 5e/Billions We communicated without speaking, telepathically. ... People communicated with me without speaking. 6e/Precognition I didn't hear a voice, but rather I was asked a question by this entity. It told me if I wanted to come out now I could, or I could go back. No voice, but I felt the question in a big way. 26e/Infinite Entity No words were spoken as it all happened telepathically. All I had to do was think about what I wanted to say. 31e/There's More Speaking to my mind he said, "You never die." I didn't understand and I asked him, "What do you mean I never die?" He said, "You never die," and soon I would understand everything. 42e/Guided We communicated telepathically. 50e/Living Water I began receiving "thought talk." 57e/Warmth The Being quickly asked me what the thought was that had just entered my consciousness. 65e/Glow A calming voice communicated into my mind the thought, "Yes, but its okay." 70e/Chance These were not verbal conversations going on but rather a dialogue I sensed in my mind. 72e/Peace Our communication was different. It is not the same type of communication we have here. I was not talking. We could just send messages and understand each other (more telepathic in nature). 75e/Between Worlds As I approached the light it spoke to me telepathically. 76e/Telepathic The main brightest light form addressed me mentally, saying, "It's not your time yet. You have to go back." 77e/Quiet Clarity I then asked him why we were not speaking the way we speak on earth and he told me that in the spirit world we communicated through our hearts and feelings so that there could never be any misunderstanding. 84e/Surrounded I received thoughts from other sources but I didn't see anyone. 92e/Surrounded There was no sound of any kind but I KNEW that they were discussing me and deciding what to do. 101e/ReviewAt this point, the voice, no longer audible but what I'd call telepathic, instructed me to concentrate on a fuzzy red line in a black void. 2f/Masha I did not hear anything audible from him, but basically telepathically he held out a choice for me. 5f/TimThen, as if I were two people, a voice inside said "Hillari will be fine. Mama will raise her. She's good mother, and she did a wonderful job with me." 12f/Fran It was not a voice as such, but more a "thought" which was not mine. It seemed to ask many things at the same time, and I remember being quite overwhelmed. 48f/Mark J.There was some communication between us. The beings told me (but no words were used ) that they loved me. 53f/Tommy I suddenly remembered that this entity had "spoken" to me many times earlier in my life. I had always labeled the communication as "intuition." The "speaking" was clear, yet didn't really involve words (although I *remember* the conversation as words). 56f/Anonymous |
Great Knowledge. In a number of reports the experiencers tell of having a vast amount of knowledge―scholars take note, but that knowledge is lost upon return to physical life.

It seemed like finally everything made sense. It was like an "Ah hah" moment. 21a/4001 It was as if there was a force or energy out there way bigger than anything we know, and I had an enormous sense of understanding the meaning of life. 29a/3987 I remember knowing the purpose of life and why we are all here, as if someone was speaking to me. 50a/3957 So much "information." Personal, universal. Mostly about Thought and Love. 73a/3928 I felt enveloped in some kind of "knowing" that surpassed the human senses. 76a/3958 "The pain is left behind on earth. It does not travel with us, but the lessons we learn from it are eternal." 76a/3958 Moment by moment you discover how quickly you are gaining knowledge; and how easy it is to accept. 80a/3919 I watched and listened suspended above my own body. At the same time it was as though all questions of the universe had been answered in that one moment. 94a/1970 At that moment everything appeared to be self-evident. 100a/3876 In this time I know all the energy into world, I know all. 6b/3472 I'm aware that for a while I "knew everything," but can't get hold of that knowledge again in my "waking" state. 16b/2795 For one second I understood it all, so simple, but then it was gone, as if we are not meant to understand "ALL". 27b/151 I was told everything that ever occurred and everything that will occur. I was given reasons for what was, what is, and what will be. 38b/186 I had the impression I understood all in the universe, all the laws that regulate the universal life. All was obvious and simple, and all was connected. 62b/3472 I was told, but I didn't hear a voice, why everything was, and especially a lot about the earth which I cannot remember today. I just remember having this knowing of all things. And I looked at the earth, smiled and said to myself, almost like a light bulb going off, "Oh! I get it." I understood and it was very beautiful. 88b/4066 For some reason everything seemed to all of a sudden make sense: the world, myself, everything was answered in an instant, and it seemed I knew everything. 93b/2851 I asked how the universe was composed and it was explained to me in all details. I remember that it was extremely beautiful and extremely simple, and said to myself this information I must remember when I am sent back. ... I lost control over the information I got earlier. (It felt as if my head was crashed.) 27d/Nov. 12, 2002 There was a complete dialogue between myself and this unknown source. I "saw/understood" my life’s purpose and how easy it was to achieve. 40d/May 15, 2003 I also had the feeling that as I received this knowledge from the beings of light, I in turn gave to them all the unique experiences that I had accumulated from my time alive on earth. They gave me what they had, and I gave them what I had to contribute. It was very pleasing to do this exchange. 59d/Nov. 11, 2003 There were no more questions to be asked nor problems to overcome. All is so simple. I just knew all the answers: there was nothing other than love and service... that was it. 72d/March 4, 2004 There were several other revelations such as the origin of man, evolution, the meaning of the holy trinity, souls, my past life, etc., which were disclosed to me by a voice. 89d/Oct. 26, 2004 "As to what this is all about, you are in a physical body to learn to care about others, and to acquire knowledge. That is the sum totality of physical life.” 2e/Childing There was also a tremendous feeling of love emanating from this source, and a kind of instant knowledge. You just knew it. ... I was given so much knowledge that it would overflow in your head normally, but I was told that each piece of knowledge would become available to me when needed. 9e/Home It was impossible to see into the white tunnel, as there was so much light pouring out from it. There was also a tremendous feeling of love emanating from this source, and a kind of instant knowledge. You just knew it. 11e/Life After I remember feeling very clear, having access to all my consciousness from the whole life and feeling the ability of pulling any thought or information if I needed to. 28e/High Above I felt the depth and breath of eternal knowledge and the wisdom of the ages within me. 76e/Telepathic I remember learning that all spirituality is good. Not one belief system was better than the other. 79e/Time It was like I was carrying with me the essence of everything I had lived through during my life. But most important I had TWO kinds of experiences with me. Those that made me feel happy and satisfied and those that made me feel sad and disappointed. 85e/Home It was an experience where everything was instantly self-evident. If I turned my awareness to anything, it was self-evident to me with no time delay. I experienced that I was free in time and space; they were not obstacles to my awareness. I KNEW what I was experiencing. It was clear. 89e/Self-Evident I was presented with a sense that all questions were to be answered if I stayed. 7f/Rob The universal wisdom I gained in the light vanished when the light left. 33f/Jerry |
Here is a summary of Chapters One and Two. We are presented with a truly remarkable picture.
|
We are still ourselves after we leave our bodies. When we reach the end of our journey we are back Home where we come from. On the way there: We communicate with others mind-to-mind. We have extreme vision: (1) we can see from more than one viewpoint at the same time; (2) just by wanting a closer view we can zoom in; (3) we can see clearly in the dark; and (4) everything we see has a crystal clarity far greater than with physical eyesight―as if our eyes were a pair of foggy goggles. |
