The Story
The person was a single mother of four young children in 1973. The experiences happened during quiet household tasks, with no near-death event. First, while doing dishes, she looked at an apple tree and became one with it. She felt connected to all life forms, like birds, bugs, fish, and animals. Second, a few days later, while wiping a wall, she saw an atom expand to the solar system, galaxy, and universe clusters. She received messages about order, planning, and intelligence behind creation. She also learned her being connected to the universe's operation, which scared her. Third, while picking up toys, she felt a strong loving presence surround her. She heard words saying this is where she came from and will return. After these events, her fear of death decreased. She researched religions and spirituality more deeply. She understood oneness with everything and life's purpose to give back to source through love and experiences.
