Chapter 1: The Incident

Nuestro Nanamoli experienced a life-altering near-death event while enjoying a summer day at the lake. As he took a thrilling plunge down a blue water slide, he dove head-first into the water but struck the lake bed with force. This traumatic impact felt like a jolt of electricity coursing through his body, leaving him breathless and in excruciating pain.

Struggling to breathe, he heard a calming voice instructing him to "Slow down." His friends, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, quickly got him out of the water and rushed him to the hospital.

Upon arrival, doctors revealed the extent of his injuries: a completely broken neck. Fortunately, the shattered bone fragments had not severed his spinal cord, meaning he avoided paralysis. However, surgery was essential to repair the damage. As he was wheeled into the operating room, a nurse offered morphine to alleviate his pain, but Nuestro, mindful of his spiritual journey and the preciousness of life, declined it, wishing to remain present in case he faced death.

With determination, he focused on his pain, employing meditation techniques to observe it as a collection of sensations rather than a threat. He likened this experience to surfing a wave, where he could ride the intensity of the pain without resistance.

“I tried to be just aware of it, and I can explain it kind of like riding a wave as a surfer,” Nuestro explained. “There was a point where I was able to just ride the pain and be in awe of how intense it was.”

After some time, the pain escalated, leading him to finally accept the morphine. As the medication took effect, the world around him began to distort, and he felt himself drifting into a tunnel, witnessing the frantic efforts of medical personnel trying to revive him.

While being prepared for surgery, he softly inquired about his destination, and the doctor reassured him. Each explanation brought him a sense of tranquility, allowing him to focus on his breath.

As the reality of the operation set in, he signed the necessary documents, aware of the risks involved. In that moment, he found himself fully immersed in the present, and when he opened his eyes again, he stood before an immense arched doorway.

Chapter 2: Encounter with Peaceful Beings

In front of him was a doorway radiating brilliant light, flanked by six ethereal beings clad in robes. Their presence exuded profound peace, and their faces, surrounded by a glowing aura, seemed to blend into a deep darkness speckled with stars.

Though the darkness had once filled him with apprehension, these beings emanated love and benevolence. They explained to Nuestro that they hailed from a realm beyond the duality of light and dark, which is why their faces appeared void-like.

The beings communicated with him, ultimately reaching a two-part agreement: first, they would remove his memory of this encounter to prevent him from sharing it incessantly; second, they urged him to undertake his life's purpose.

As their conversation concluded, Nuestro began to descend into a tunnel, gradually regaining awareness of the hospital room. He observed his body on the stretcher, feeling an overwhelming sense of liberation before merging back with his physical form.

“I started moving my limbs, overjoyed to be back, though the nurses told me to settle down. The pain returned, but at that moment, it felt almost amusing, a curious sensation of being human again,” he recounted.

Personal Reflections

In contemplating the interconnectedness of experiences, Nuestro realized that emotions are not separate entities but manifestations of his conscious awareness.

He shared a personal anecdote about a man who pursued wealth, only to lose everything. This experience led him to understand that his identity was not tied to his possessions or status; rather, he was the source of life and potential.

With this insight in mind, he encouraged readers to embrace a moment of silence, free from labels like meditation or prayer. By closing one’s eyes and tuning into their senses, they could cultivate inner wisdom and peace.

“Blessings to you on your journey. May you plant good seeds and be a good gardener of the earth, cultivating peace wherever you go,” Nuestro concluded.
