- My NDE
- I drowned at a senior class picnic a few days before graduating from high school. It was a most horrible and agonizing way to die. Stuck in the weeds and mud at the bottom of the lake a voice inside me asked me to “let go” just for a second to rest, and then I could continue with my struggle. So I did, I “let go”. The instant I let go I shot out of my terrorized body into a black tunnel with a bright Light at the far end. I immediately felt warm, joyful, free, happy, and loved (unconditionally). I appeared in the sphere of the Eternal Now and reviewed every moment of all of my lives individually and concurrently without any judgements or condemnations. I was then absorbed into the Light and became One with the Light. I knew everything there was to know about “existence and the universe”. The experience of joy and unconditional love in the Light was so intense that I can not find words in the English language to convey the ecstasy that overwhelmed me. I became One with the Eternal Light, but still retained my unique personality, all at the same moment. The Light and I talked, laughed, played, and enjoyed being together for a long time. Then the Light told me that I had to go back. I refused, but suddenly found myself coughing up water on the sandy beach back on earth. I was so very, very sad. I didn’t want to leave the Light. I didn’t really understand what I experienced and didn’t acknowledge it for over 25 years ... not until I read Dr. Moody’s book “Life After Life” and realized that my experience and memories really happened to me. The experience had a name, and was called a Near Death Experience. The real good news is that I will be going back into the Light real soon now, and that thought turns my sadness into Eternal Joy.
These are some of the poems I wrote in the middle of the night about my NDE and how it continually changes who I am...
Death By Drowning ... A Love Poem
By Andy Petro
Oh God, I’m drowning! My life is all black!
Why me? Why me, God? Please, can’t I go back?
I sank into an abyss of ice-cold pain,
Surrounded by blackness again and again …
Though my senses were numb, my pain was intense!
I screamed out in silence … death seemed so immense!
Every fiber of my body continued to fight …
The ugly, frigid, blackness was void of any light.
I continued to sink and struggle without end.
Until finally, I hit bottom … alone without friend.
Stuck in the mud and try as I might …
Escape was impossible from this black, hideous sight.
A voice from my depths, tells me what’s best.
“Let go … for just a moment, you need a little rest.”
I’m afraid to stop trying for one breath of air!
To rise from the bottom and break free from despair!
Again, the voice assures me … “Let go, it’s all right …”
“After a brief moment, you can continue the fight.”
All right then – OK then – I’ll let go of my life.
A moment of rest, and then on with the strife.
I release! I let go! Then in an instant so fine …
I’m hurled from my body through a tunnel in time.
I look down and see my body all knurled up in fright!
I look up, and the tunnel is aglow in white Light.
In a heartbeat, a gasp, my senses are alive!
I am warm, I am loved, I am happy … completely revived!
The Light is so bright; it should burn through my eyes,
But It pulls like a gentle magnet, and then I realize
I’m engulfed by its Brightness, with love and with care.
The Light, It sustains me … I can breathe Its warm, sweet air.
And then in a moment I appear in a sphere.
My lives are all around me, I can see them, I can hear …
Every moment, every thought through lifetimes unfold …
There is no judgment or fear to behold,
No accounting, no damnation, just observations so clear …
That my lives are just choices and it’s love that endears.
“Don’t be afraid,” the Light says through my ears,
“I love you, we love you, and there’s nothing to fear.”
I’m welcomed by the Light … and the Light smiles within me!
We talk, we play, we laugh … Its Love sets me free!
At last I am Home! The universe is such a wondrous delight!
The Light is One with Me … and I am One in the Light!
Surprisingly, the Light says, “Andy you must go back!”
“No, I‘m finally Home!” I screamed in a counterattack.
The Light insisted, “Back to earth you must go.”
Earthly images terrorized me and tears started to flow.
In an instant I was back, coughing up water on the sand…
The agony of earth overshadowed a Light so wonderfully grand.

Who Am I? … A Love Poem
By Andy Petro
I am the silent space,
Existing between my thoughts.
I am infinite awareness,
Residing in my silent space.
I am unconditional love,
Vibrating through every breath.
I am continuous forgiveness,
Embracing myself and all others.
I am spontaneous joy,
Overwhelming each and every moment.
I am eternal peace,
Experiencing the holographic universe.
I am unending gratitude,
Expressing gratefulness for my reality.
I am universal knowledge,
Releasing myself into the expanding cosmos.
I am unblemished truth,
Shinning forth through the Light.
I am a piece of the Light,
Luminating my Oneness from within the Light.
I am the silent space,
Existing between my thoughts.
I am the silent space of no-thought.

The Moment Is Now ... A Love Poem
By Andy Petro
As I listen to my breath,
To the sweet sound of air.
Breathing in fills me with hope,
Breathing out releases my despair.
A beautiful rhythm,
As my breaths rise and fall.
Dissolving the discords of life
Into moments of now.
The moment is now …
Is a powerful thought.
It's wrapped in a freedom
That can’t be sold or bought.
The moment is now …
Brings a smile to my face.
As images that burden my heart
Are infused with a loving grace.
The moment is now …
Refocuses my life.
Calm and beauty replace
Illusions of trauma and strife.
The moment is now …
No more guilt, blame, or shame,
No judgement or separation
In the Light we are all the same.
The moment is now …
Gathering forces waiting to be,
Imbue love into Being
Radiating unconditionally through me.
The moment is now …
My life is joyful and fun.
The moment is now …
In the Light we’re all vibrating as One.
....................
Unconditional Love
By Andy Petro
When I choose to love unconditionally,
And I choose to forgive unconditionally …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I replace judgment with observation,
And condemnation with acceptance …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I stop blaming and shaming,
And I embrace our shared experiences …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I relinquish my superiority,
And cease ridiculing your inferiority …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I highlight our Oneness,
And I celebrate our differences …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I reject our separation,
And I promote our collective Oneness …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I see my eyes in your eyes,
And I feel all our hearts beating as One …
Then, I experience unconditional Peace and Joy.
When I choose to love unconditionally
And I choose to forgive unconditionally …
Then, I Am unconditional Peace and unconditional Joy.

Very nice to hear from you and Im happy that your move was a good one. Unfortunately this will be the first year that I wont be attending the Retreat in St. Louis. My son is getting married this Summer and I will be going to the Igniting Of The Eighth Fire in Manitoba, Canada in September. But hopefully I will be able to attend next year. Im sure you will have another very rewarding experience sharing your love and Light. Have a great day.
Reaching For Joy

And like you I did not understand or even "believe" the reality of for many years, and in fact have truely integrated until the last couple of years - that is I knew it had happened but it had been negated by others so often that I could not quite grasp the reality of the situation for myself.
Because my experience was quite young I do not necessarily notice a difference between the before and after experience except in the fact that it has supported me throughout all my experiences to know that the unconditional love is always there and although perhaps I have not always been able to feel it at will, it surrounds me nonetheless.
my greatest desire now perhaps is to have the ability to shine forth with some of the light that was gifted to me.
Love and light blessings to you
Leanne
www.mindbodybrainspirit.org. Pease make any comments on writings. Appreciate your patience!
How are you doing?
I understand that even churches do not want this information our there. Ig God is Love, and we can offer that deeply to others --in His Name --why would some churches consider this evil--???
THANK YOU AGAIN --so very much.
I will use your name with great gratitude and appreciation. This is not about fame or fortune. It is about educating people! They really do need to know. They must learn to come from behind 'their veil' of disbelief, and into 'a new realm of truth' --not accepted in the beginning. Maybe we can help change that!
You CAN access it by going to www.horseholiday.org at the top see the LINK to mind-body-brain-spirit <---THAT link works to see all pages, I THINK! I must tell everyone on this site.
I have tried to express what I feel and what my confusions had been in my youth and also how I am different, as I am pretty sure that other sincere NDEs feel also. In your remaining years, as well as mine, I sure would to keep this dialog open for awhile.
I have that website where I have written my thoughts and oversights to the 'others' to try to help them as well as myself --to just empty.
If you would get the chance, and would like to comment on any or all pages --by title. That would be wonderful. I would really like to know your take on what I have written. No hurry! Just whenever you feel like sharing again. I hope that is often. I will reply on any of your comments. Perhaps this will help others as well.
If I have your permission I could add this to my site [with your name added or not, that is up to you. I am not trying to get any credit. I just want this information to be available. I could leave your name as ananomous if you choose --OR NOT INCLUDE these comments at all. I just ask you if we should do this. It seems that you and I have had a lifetime to think through it all, and it may bring some more daylight to others. Waiting for any and all of your comments. This is really great. I DO believe --nad HAVE --by looking at your photo --that you have much to offer in the way of understanding and inner wisdom. Rose from Central Pa.
www.mindbodybrainspirit.org. Website almost all printed okay --I think. I have been busy on this,, since my issues with Front Page Program. [NO MORE GOOD --Now using and trying to learn DreamWeaver]...God Bless, and I will meet you on the next light!
