Chapter 1: Lana’s Near-Death Experience
The following writings come from my Facebook friend, Lana.
She’s seventy-five and is one of the most gifted writers I know. Eight years ago, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was only given months to live. The doctors were amazed at her healing. A miracle. She’s had a vivid near-death experience, three years ago she had a severe heart attack. She was in the ambulance and left her body. Suddenly she was next to Jesus and gazing at the universe. He showed her astonishing vistas of great beauty. She saw the micro-verse as well as the macro-verse, and the beautiful Love that controls all. He asked her if she wanted to stay or return to her body, any decision was the correct one. She explained she had unfinished business on earth and woke up in the hospital. The next articles were written while she was recovering. Her writings are true and astounding.
Lana explained, “About eight years ago, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Pulmonary Fibrosis. There was no cure nor even treatment. The doctors told me that in an otherwise healthy person, which I was not, the outlook was that I had about a year to live. However, deep within my heart, it did not seem real to me. I went into meditation and asked Jesus,"What is the truth of this?" His response was so comforting. Jesus told me, "Let the doctors take care of your body and I will take care of your mind.” Knowing that the mind was the only thing that could truly be sick, I depended on Jesus to keep my mind healed, and I had an inner knowing that as an effect of a healed mind, my body would also be healed. The next few months were a real adventure and a test of trusting that Truth was true. I did let the doctors, I had three, take care of my body but paid little attention to what transpired because I was focused with Jesus on keeping my mind healed and open to receive miracles. Over the next six months, my MRI's painted a picture of healing which left my doctors puzzled and confused. At first, they thought I just had a slowly progressing type of Pulmonary Fibrosis. Then, the progression of my illness seemed to stop entirely. Finally, the scar tissue that had been growing in my lungs began to disappear. Again, this left my doctors scratching their heads in bewilderment, wondering how this could be possible. I knew how it was possible and just watched my healing unfold, as my trust in God grew stronger and stronger.
This is just one of the many healing miracles I've experienced over the years. One so-called body adventure took me to death's door as I was given the last rites of the Church. I have written about my NDE and its miraculous nature that took me beyond my body into another spatial dimension where I was filled with the peace and joy of God. It was given me to realize that it was perfectly OK to stay in my body or to leave it. It was my choice. I wrote a poem about my experience, as you can imagine, it was difficult to put into human language, but I did my best in expressing it.”
On another occasion, I experienced two heart attacks within a few hours and had to be flown to a hospital that was better equipped to handle my situation. During the trip, I was floating above my body and was able to watch the medical attendant try to keep me alive until we arrived at the hospital in Boston. During this time, I felt no pain and was in a state of perfect peace. Once again, I felt it was perfectly fine to return to my body or leave it behind. Both times, I felt perfectly safe and protected and had no fear at all. I no longer fear body adventures or even the demise of the body. Whenever they occur and for whatever reason they occur, I simply keep my heart and mind fixed on God and surrender myself to the Will of God. I just summit, "Let it be done unto me according to Thy Will." These are the same words spoken by the Blessed Mother when she was told she would be the mother of Jesus.
There were other times as well, but the ones mentioned above brought the greatest lessons to me. What I learned was that there is absolutely nothing to fear. Just beyond the shadow of the valley of death, there is a something else that clicks in and takes over. I've only experienced this something else during the two NDE's mentioned above. This something else just took over my entire being, providing the assurance that everything was as it should be and that everything would be OK. I trusted it completely and just went along for the ride, it was a miraculous and beautiful spiritual ride.
