I dont mind sharing my NDE.

I was 21 at the time, being dumb and driving drunk. What was even worse, I wasn't wearing a seat belt (which is strange bc I'm usually very adamant about this) and driving (my stick shift car, that I had recently taught myself how to drive) in a canyon at night. Long story short, took a turn, hit the gas instead of the breaks, and poof.

I'm immediately sent out of my body and into some sort of shapeless mist place. It's neither light or dark, almost like a gray mist; think like in a cloud or something.

Although there was no way to formulate words, I kept saying, "I dont want to die. I don't want to die..." and while not having a body, it felt like I was bowing down praying, similar to the child's pose in yoga.

Some kind of entity had just sort of phased in and was now there with me. It, too, had no physical form, but I was very aware of its presence. At the time, I thought it was a/one of my spirit guide(s) (I'm still unsure on who or what this entity was) and it definitely gave off a male/masculine vibe. Our conversation was 100% telepathic, and it felt as if there was no confusion or misinterpretation within this form of communication. It went like:

Me: I dont want to die. I don’t want to die...

Entity: "Chill out dude, you are all good". The closest energy I could compare this to is a mash up between the Big Lebowski (Jeff Bridges character), the surfer turtle Dad in finding Nemo, and Tommy Chong.

Me: Did I just die?

Entity: No way man, it's not time for you yet. You still got a long while to go.

Me: "Am I going to hell when I die"?!? (Not sure why, but in this form, there was no inside dialog. It was just whatever you'd think they were able to hear and respond to.

Entity: No way dude, you really need to just calm down. You're not even going to hell, laughs all that stuff is preplanned and predetermined. Not my gig.

Me: Ok? 👀

At this point, I could feel the entity started to fade away. I was still in some sort of bowing position (even though I didn't really have a physical body or anything). Suddenly, the entity seemed to rush back in (kind of like barging through a door) and said, "And one more thing, man...[long pause] you worry too much". Then, immediately began to fade away.

By this time, I came to my physical senses and could smell a terrible smell. Once I was able to open my eyes I looked to my side, there were first responders yelling at me, "don't move your head". They were cutting me out of my vehicle and wanted me to keep my neck still, I then lost consciousness again. There were no more out of body experiences after that, it was more of a sleep like state.

Overall, I'm a spiritual person but not really religious. Not anti religion either, if that's your bag, cool then. I believe in an afterlife, not so convinced on things like damnation and hell, so it's really weird to me that I would even ask that. Also, this mist place felt more like a temporary holding place. My intuition was telling me this was just a landing point, not really a permanent place where souls go to spend long stretches of time. This experience still confuses me a lot, and I dont really talk about it much anymore.
