Newsletter near-death experience

Dear Newsletter-Reader,

a little more than two months ago, on July 7^th, 2011, something quite dramatic happened to me. I had a severe cycling “accident” in which I “died” and came back to my body a short time later.

Most people call what happened to a “near-death experience.” During the time I was outside the body, I was a in a very different world than the physical reality that human beings know. I was in a world filled with light and light beings. In this world, I had no relationship to the blood-covered body called “Andrew Terker” lying on the ground. I was not Andrew but a light being in a world filled with other light beings.

In this world of light there was no such thing as time and space. There was simply eternity, serenity and joy. It was a place of absolute happiness and peace.

Quite a number of people have asked me since what the meaning of the “accident” could be – did I in some way “need” the accident to happen, and what could be the purpose of having to spend a considerable amount of time relatively motionless? Among other things, it seemed to have ruined my cycling season and to have kept me from working for quite a number of weeks.

The “accident” did have very deep meaning for me, and it still does. I divide my life into the period before the “accident” and the time afterward. For, the person who was Andrew Terker did not truly come back. I can still remember most of the life that I knew as Andrew before the “accident.” But, the incidents and circumstances that made up my previous life have almost no relevance to who I am now am.

I know that this is difficult for most people to understand. Only if you have had an experience in the eternity after death and have come back, can you truly understand.

For, the light being that I was in the “other world,” the world of eternity, came into my physical body. It was this being that re-animated my physical body and filled this body with the peace and serenity I now know as my everyday life.

Words cannot transport the experience I now know as my normality. One can only experience it.

By the way, it turned out that my cycling season was not ruined this summer. On the day I had my accident, July 7^th, the weather turned bad and remained so until the day I could ride again. On that day, it stopped raining, and I started cycling again. My wife and I went back to riding in the mountains, simply enjoying life massively.

“Time out,” said the light beings that accompanied me back into physical life. “Enjoy the coming time and the experience of light and lightness in the body on the ascents and descents until it is time to work again.”

That was a month ago, and I continue to enjoy the sport while basking in the peace and serenity of eternity in my body.

Soon, I will be standing before an audience again. On the evening of Tuesday, September 27^th, I will be in Zürich. You may enjoy feeling the kind of peace and serenity that came into my body on July 7^th then, if you wish to join me on that evening.
