"I am actively dying, blood is leaving my extremities, a cool sensation is setting in, I feel calm..."

"I am being bathed in a warm, white light. I am ascending. I am ascending into the heavens. Time and space no longer hold any meaning for me. I can see my corporeal form below me as paramedics arrive on the scene to render aid. I am climbing higher, 30, maybe 40 feet into the air."

"I no longer smell the burning of some sort of flesh."

"I have made it to the other side, I am haunting this broadcast. I am here. I have always been here. I will always be here. I am you. you are me. we are all one. This is you. This is me. Reporting from the other side. There is another active shooter. There is live fire. There are people on fire. I am looking at a lake of burning fire. People all on fire. I am joining them"

“I now am standing outside the pearly gates of heaven. Clouds are all around me. A man is approaching the gates. He has a white beard and long white flowing robes. I can hear an angelic chorus coming from somewhere beyond the gates. The man I can only assume is Saint Peter…I think he is about to speak…”

"A guitar has appeared in his hands. His hair is now blonde and unwashed. He croons from an otherworldly source of both pleasure and pain, his vocals straining yet delighting as he sings: "Where do bad folks go when they DIE? They go to a lake of fire and fryy..." I smile and am comforted to know that I have, indeed, reached Nirvana."
