| Was She Out of Body Or Dreaming? | |
|
by Elizabeth Joyce
My personal experiences with out-of-body began as a small child, although my family did not encourage the events and I suppressed them until recent years. I am one of two sets of identical twins, and my experience in Hana, (Maui) Hawaii, on November 11, 1986 has prompted the writing of this paper. My inner development and understanding of God and nature has greatly expanded since that time. Previously, on September 9, 1986, I was sleeping and awoke at 3:00 a.m. in what felt like another time and space. I was having an apparent nightmare:
My twin and I were in a car, she was driving. We went around a curve, across a covered bridge and began to go over an embankment, car and all, toward a river. I jumped out of the passenger side of the car, fell onto the ground, and then held the car with my hands to stop it from going over the cliff. T began to pray and call on the Masters to help me get the car back up onto safe ground. I was afraid my back would give out. Some of my inner Thoughts were negative, as I began to remember the emotions, anger and pettiness sisters have between them. However, I was determined that the car would get safely back up the cliff. I kept thinking, "This won't happen, this won't happen," every time a negative thought came. Finally, the car was safely back up the cliff. And I felt a soft rain. I was aware of how I was dressed and, and of a house in the trees (surrounded with foliage) I had never seen before. I knew help would be within that house.
When I awoke, the bed sheets were drenched and every ounce of energy had left my body. I was physically exhausted. At the time of this writing, I now realized that was astral energy which was used to turn possible events around, through Love and the law of Karma.
In November, 1986, two months later. I did go to Hawaii, on a spiritual retreat. The afternoon of November 11th, at approximately 2:00 p.m.. I was in deep meditation and was aware of a voice coming to me saying. "Your sister died." I "felt" something had happened. I was struggling with coldness and negative energies for the rest of the day. This went on through the evening, but by morning I was aware on inner levels that all was well.
During the morning meditation on November 12, I sensed that I needed to call my mother who lived in Warner, New Hampshire, 6,000 miles away. My first words to my mother were regarding my twin. She was surprised that I knew about the accident: My sister was driving to New York City from Warner on the evening of November 11; at 7:00 p.m. --exactly 2:00 p.m. Maui time-- the car slipped on ice, flew into the air, and landed at the bottom of a thirty-five foot ravine. Everything in the car was crushed, as it had turned over several times; that is, everyplace was crushed except where my sister sat. The area around her was intact and she walked away without a scratch.
I was astonished at my mother's words, and the dream two months before came into full focus. A dream, or a precognitive experience? The feelings within my being were indescribable. It was then that I noticed the soft rain, so familiar in Hawaii at that time of year, and the clothes I was wearing. They were the same as in the dream, and I was within the house I had seen beyond the trees.
