We're all connected, y'know?
This week is all about psychic and paranormal experiences. Through these posts, I hope to open up the unseen world to you. Enjoy!
My first encounter with Everything (a personification) was, as you can imagine, incredible. Not in the mind – blowing way, but in a quite ‘human’ way if I were to describe it as such. This memory is one of the most vivid and detailed memories I have.
I was 14 back then, and had realized I was different from others. This made me feel very vulnerable. Worst of all, I felt completely alone. Wasn’t up to the standards of normal middle schoolers apparently. Not that it would bother my family much. What mattered were the grades, right?
Truth be told, this wasn’t all foreign to me. I wasn’t too sure if I hated having no social life either. Maybe it had just become routine? My days would be spent behind the computer, learning how to use the big white box (which was the screen) and then lying down in the darkness of my room, listening to the whispers I would hear around me. It was a solitary life and not healthy emotionally, but it was as it has been said before, my life.
The Lady in Silver
I believe I was having a false awakening. It was strange, because there were no darkness around. No shadow self present. At that time, I did not know what the shadow self was, so I just referred to it as ‘The Darkness’. Original, I know. I went to the living room, which was quite big and nicely furnished with ‘quality merchandise’. There was a green sofa in front of four large windows. Someone was sitting there. Knowing this was a dream, I wasn’t all that concerned, but I was nervous. I like privacy in my own dreams, you see.
I walked towards the figure. More and more I became aware of this electrical energy that was very very busy (a tell – tale sign of elemental energy) and very tight and powerful. By tight and powerful, I mean it felt like a grid that could easily hold you down or push you off some ledge if you have played The Legend of Zelda.
To a human, it felt uncomfortable. I stopped. The figure in front of me was a woman, which is not surprising as I’ve always felt closer to female spiritual entities than male ones. She was sitting there, wearing a very detailed silver dress, holding a tea cup in her hand with a neutral expression. Her face was angel – like. Young and old, airy but austere. The hair was very long and… can you guess it? Silvery. What caught me off – guard however, were her eyes. They looked like they had blue vortexes with a white center as the retina. Reminds me of the Milky Way, thinking back.
I thought she was an angel. I didn’t like angels. They were too goody – goody. I think I must have communicated this energetically, since she smirked. I expected her to say something. She didn’t.
“Hi,” I finally said and sat down beside her. I wasn’t aware of it then, but I felt very close to this lady in silver. She began talking to me, but not in words. It was like music. The ‘voice’ reminded me of a calm sea and its waves breaking against the shore. I can’t remember what she said, but then again, I’m not sure I was supposed to. When I woke up, I was filled with awe and another strange feeling. I think it was the only moment that I experienced true awe. Those feelings remain infinite, as I’ll never have such a vivid dream experience again. Loved that poetry, didn’t ya?
The lady in silver returned many many times during my waking life. She’d sit back in my mind, sipping tea and commenting on life’s trivialities. Then she’d leave again, unless I needed her. I never got to know what she was until … THAT DAY.
Dramatic bold lettering aside, the year was 2004.
A Dramatic Turn of Events
It was December, three days before Christmas. Three days before I would joyously open up presents on the evening of the 24th, after a nice meal of pinnekjøtt. Yes, we do it in the evening in Scandinavia. Don’t get sidetracked, OK? I’m trying to build up the atmosphere here.
We were going to celebrate Christmas with my grandparents. They had already flown ahead of us to Gran Canaria. My father and I wondered if we were to travel to Oslo by plane or car. We decided to go with car for the atmosphere and nature. That was the beginning of the end.
The roads were icy, and we were often on the verge of disaster. I remember my father was very nervous, and he needed to smoke to calm himself down. Adding to that, he was also very tired. We stopped at a gas station where we filled the tank with juicy petrol, and then continued on our way.
I had this growing feeling that something would go wrong. It did.
The car was sliding over onto the opposite driving lane. I saw a bright light heading around the corner. A trailer. A twelve ton frightening trailer was heading straight towards us. We were going to front collide, and I was going to die. I remember myself thinking that. I felt etheric energy building up inside of me, and suddenly I found myself in the back seat. I tried to reach out to my fatherr, but there was no arm to reach with, nor voice to project my words. The trailer was engulfed in deep yellow light.
“I am going t –” Then everything went white. It must only have been a few seconds, but the whiteness was so comforting and.. present. Like it had always been there. Then I was suddenly jerked back into my body right before the collision. The trailer was still shining a deep yellow light. At the point of impact, I couldn’t see a thing. It was all a hazy gray and, then I was thrown into to the real world again. Back to the stark reality that awaited me. Debris, blood, and eventually, tears.
A Silver Lining
I was in an ambulance. I won’t go into what happened between the collision and where I was now finding myself. I was lying on the hard ambulance bed. A worker was measuring my blood pressure. I was quiet and I assume that I was also in shock. My father had been taken away by helicopter and I was being taken to Lillehammer and its hospital.
I stared silently at the silhouettes of trees and the still lake shrouded in darkness. I think I fell asleep. It was probably for the best. Delta waves are beneficial for healing after all.
I was in the whiteness yet again. This time, I wasn’t alone. A very comforting feeling was present. It felt like I was being taken care of. This is not something I can explain very well, but I somehow didn’t feel like Sol anymore. I was observing something else. I saw so many things. Planets, stars, galaxies. Infinity.
I felt like I was reaching out to everything I saw. There was something to be fixed, something to be stabilized. There was a billion thoughts going through my mind. I didn’t catch them all.
Are you alright? A voice asked. The voice was fully audible. I was surprised. “Where am I?” I asked, perplexed.
Questions. Where do you think we are, silly?
“Everywhere?”
Correct, and isn’t it such a wonderFUL feeling?
I didn’t know what to do. I think I was having one of those out of body experiences. I think I knew who I was talking to. “Who are you?” I asked. I am me, the voice responded, sounding amused. Oh, so it was her.
I don’t remember anything other than that, but I knew I had just had my wake up call.
I’d never been so close to a personification before. How did I know it was a personification? It’s nothing I can explain logically. It’s an unmistakable feeling that you’re part of something. It’s a feeling where you simply KNOW you’re the Universe, and the darkness inbetween the stars and galaxies. The cosmic energy I was part of during those moments, was both varied and static, offering a lot of different vibrations. Not goody – goody at all, but still serving our highest purpose. That’s why I decided to call it Everything, to reflect its function. I think our energies melded in that moment, and maybe I witnessed something greater than I otherwise would.
I don’t know why, yet I don’t really care. It was truly one of the worst and best experiences of my life. And you know what? Those make life worth living.
“Infinity. What does it mean to you?
It can signify the point at which you leave reality behind. Or it may just be a mathematical expression to describe the size of our universe. It can symbolize that true love never dies.
In other words, infinity offers you the chance that you’ll find at last what you’ve always been dreaming of.”
Oh, and please Like my Facebook page! It’d mean very much to me and gives me the warm fuzzies!
Hi there!
I'm Sol, the author of this blog.
Hey Sol,
I like the new layout. Wow, that was pretty scary reading about the accident you were in. I am glad you survived and are here enlightening all of us with your immense spiritual knowledge.
Todd | Channelingmyself recently posted..We Are Family
Thank you Todd. I am happy you survived reading the horrible grammar. I wrote this early in the morning and I am having my hands full editing it. God, I want to die!
Thanks for the compliment and I am happy you liked it.
Whoa that is quite an experience! It definitely sounds like a temporary out of body experience and I’ve read up on other accounts and they are similar in that they get surrounded by white light and they feel unconditional love. There was this account I saw on TV of a remote viewer. This guy said that he got hit by a bus and went to that comfortable place you said and the voice said, “It’s not your time yet, you still have more to accomplish” and then was revived in his physical self.
I’m glad to hear you managed to get out of that accident alive, maybe it was predestined?
By the way, I like the new site layout, looks really professional!
Sorry for the grammatical mistakes there, Joey!
All out of body experiences are temporary. If they were permanent we would be dead. Well, perhaps it WAS predestined? I have never been physically injured (at least not to a serious extent, maybe a few scratches here and there), so who knows?
I like the new layout as well. I still have to tweak it, especially when it comes to ad placements, but yeah.. it’s nice
I didn’t see any grammatical mistakes, don’t worry I’m not going to grade you ha ha!
WHAT? No grades?!
Well, that may be because I edited it after, mwahahaha.
Sol,
Wow, what a story! I can’t say I’ve had any out-of-body experiences or anything like that before, but anytime I’ve heard about it from someone — they always say that it changed them in some way or another.
Interesting post, and love the rest of the blog.
Don’t know what the old design looked like before – but I think you got it right with this one!

WOW Sol,
You have quite a story my friend and so glad you are around to tell it – A wake up call for sure! I’m sure your life has never been the same.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Hi there, Nancy!
Thank you for your nice words. Nope, my life has never been the same since and that’s in a good way!
You’re welcome. I’ll be back
Awesome new look to your blog Sol! Wow, you sure can tell a story and what about the Angel woman? Did you see her again?
I have read that many spiritual people have had near death experiences to let them know that there is more to life than meets the eye.

Why, hello there Justin!
How odd that you’d appear here at the time of the new blog – look. It’s like some magical genie flew you to me on a magical carpet! It’s good to see you again.
Oh and the Angel woman is no other than our dear Sel! Thanks for your kind words.
Hmm. I can’t quite explain how it felt fo rme. It is a REALLY hard thing to grasp. I will have to ponder.
Hi Sol,
Admittedly, I am out of my depth here. I was captivated by your story. I guess that at the end of the day I am more ‘worldly’ than not so understanding the other side of the veil is difficult for me. I am however always interested in learning and trying to understand more. Thank you
be good to yourself

Hi there David!
Thanks for visiting my blog! That’s always appreciated.
Well, we benefit from both types: Those who’d like to familiarize themselves with what is known and those who like to step into the unknown. Both types are handy, and so are mixes. I like that you’re curious, but still have your feet on the ground. That’s an admireable approach.
Thanks for visiting and take care!
Hi Sol,
I want to express my gratitude that I am able to converse with you online first of all. It must be one of those frightening experience and I glad you are fine, now telling us the story as well. I have this feeling that you are happy recalling this accident and also your encounter with Everything.
Incidentally, my previous post was about after death or near death experience as well. It was something I read about in a book and I just wanted to relate the lessons I picked up from that book for all. I wonder does that post and book share a similar case like yours? You can read that post here if you have not yet.
I want to read from you again, girl…

Hi there, Jimmy!
How nice to see you here, and thank you for the kind words.
I might have had similar cases to the ones you read about. I’m not sure myself, but it is a probability. Well, I have mixed feelings of course. It was a tough time with my father in coma for two months but I managed. I am grateful for the strength it gave me.
Please stick around and you’ll get to read more from me
Sol
Hi Sol:
I like the new look to your blog.
Wow, this was quite a post. I am glad you are okay and I hope your father was as well.
I had a car accident on my 18th birthday as I was driving to work. Luckily, I was fine, but it was an out of body experience as my car zipped through several lanes of traffic, spun around and slammed into a barrier on the highway. I was amazed that I did not hit one other person as my car was out of control. I definitely felt like I was being assisted during the whole thing and it changed my outlook on how I viewed things.

Hi Wendy!
Thanks for your comment and kind words. I, too, believe we are watched over. Your experiences supported that belief. Being near death sure makes one appreciate life.
Solllllllll, this was an awesome post. Your writing was so great. I was glued to my screen.
Your experience sounds like you melded with, well, Everything for a minute there. It sounds like an experience of enlightenment. What a fantastic thing. And I’m glad you lived to tell the tale! How scary that must’ve been…
I haven’t had a near-death experience, but I can imagine it’s a real shocker. EEek!

Hi there, Fred!
I’m so happy you liked it. Thanks! And yes, I’m alive to tell the tale!
What a fantastic story sol, Thanks for shearing such events totally change our personal direction and perspective on life, I’ve had an experience with Infinity, I’ve never written about it and have only mentioned to a few people. the reason is that such experiences are betrayed by words, but reading this I think I should get pen to paper… because there is more to life then what meets the eyes.
Lloyd Christie recently posted..Adding Spirit To Spirituality
Wow. You’re the only other one I know of, Lloyd. Though, I call it Everything.
These are indeed experiences betrayed by words. I do not know how I could word it better myself.
