Ervaring Beskrywing
I had just pulled into the University parking lot ready to go to class, when a man tapped on my car window. All I could see was a hand I opened my door to see what he wanted. He shoved a gun in my face and demanded money. I gave him all I had which was pocket change. He left but came back a few minutes later and demanded that I move to the passenger seat. My keys were still in the ignition of the car when he got in and started my car. He drove me to a bank ATM where I was instructed to withdraw money. After the bank, he made me slide down in the seat so no one could see me. He drove me to an alley in a housing area and demanded that I crawl into the back seat.
Before I crawled into the backseat, he placed the gun to my left temple and said he was going to shoot me because I could identify him. I convinced him I couldn't identify him with God's help. I crawled over the seat as he had asked. I had a coat in the back, which he told me to put over my head. When the coat was over my head, he told me to take my pants off. It was then that he placed the gun to head again. I could tell it was the gun because of the weight and it was COLD. He cocked the hammer back and said he was going to kill me.
It was at this very moment that my experience happened. I prayed to God that if this is his will I am ready, but begged him not to let my family find me this way especially my brother. My heart began to raced and beat so hard in my chest I thought I was going to explode. Then an incredible calm overcame me. I saw this brilliant light like a million candles burning and felt an incredible sense of overall warmth. Then I heard a voice originating from outside my body that said, "You will be okay." It was more of an "understanding" than a voice.
Later when I talked with my brother about this, he said he knew I was in trouble and went home to find me and to try and find our mother.

Was die ervaring moeilik om in woorde uit te druk?
Yes I can explain the light and the warmth felt but words just don't seem adequate.
Het jy enige psigiese, ongewone of ander spesiale gawes ná jou ervaring wat jy nie voor die ervaring gehad het nie?
Yes I can sense life energy. I have been able to see many people’s auras. I saw my brother’s aura during a healing "laying on of the hands". He had "bad energy" removed out of the top of his spine. I saw the bad energy removed and the new energy that replaced it. I can sense and see the evil energy in some people. It appears like a black or gray aura. It is like I can also see in their soul through their eyes.
