I started to experience a very shrill and uncomfortable ringing in my ears. Then, in the exact same moment that the ringing stopped, I suddenly realized I was outside of my unconscious body, viewing it from above. Austrian experiencer Josef Streisselberger shares how he died in a car accident, met his higher self, and discovered he had chosen his life’s challenges before incarnating on Earth.

One evening in 1997, Josef was sitting in the back of a car when it crashed, rolled into a ditch, and he remained stuck inside. He heard a mysterious loud ringing sound in his ears, then lost consciousness as emergency personnel arrived and his heart stopped. He was in cardiac arrest for several minutes and needed to be resuscitated. Another thing I learned later after the event was that this ringing is a typical symptom when the soul body separates from the physical body. I didn’t have any fear at all, and I retained complete awareness throughout the entire experience. I kept floating higher above and watched as the paramedics put my lifeless body into the ambulance. I didn’t have any concerns about the body, instead I kept noticing how a light was filling up the foreground of my vision. This light became more intense and brilliant, and it was utterly fascinating for me. It consumed my entire attention now and a deep pleasure was growing within me.

Josef felt no fear as he realized he was pure consciousness. The situation still was in no way frightening or disturbing, but rather was familiar and comforting. It was also clear to me that I was now pure consciousness and could exist without my physical body. I am no longer identified as being just a body; I did have a body, but now what I am is consciousness and awareness. This was completely clear to me in that moment.

Before the light grew stronger, Josef experienced a life review that showed him what still needed resolution. It’s become clear to me since this experience that there is no absolute death in the conventional sense of the word. There is only the transition from an embodied to a disembodied state. When we die, we leave the body behind, and we receive clarity on what is most important in life.

Josef then moved toward the brilliant Light, experiencing indescribable peace. The Light was growing, and it was brilliant and extremely bright. I was experiencing enormous harmony and peace. I think the only thing I can call it would be the glory of being. There was no fear, instead I simply yearned to move deeper into the Light. It was all very familiar, and I was essentially returning to the place from which I had ultimately come. I surrendered myself with complete trust to the Light and felt a desire to remain there, in simple existence. I felt interconnected and reconciled with everything, with absolutely no trace of conflict. I still have to this day a deep longing to return to this state. It was the most ideal world a person could possibly wish for. There is no separation from anything in this space, only connection to everything, and it is magnificent.

Josef arrived in what he perceived as a waiting room, where he encountered his higher self. There were other beings there, which were in situations similar to mine. Also, I had communication with my higher spiritual being, which I understood to be my higher self, as if a part of me had always been there, inhabiting this other world. This spiritual being or my higher self knew everything about me and had a purely benevolent, supportive, and confident attitude towards me. I could also perceive this spiritual being in a clear form, similar to a human body. We communicated telepathically, and I was told that if I were to continue into the Light, the energetic connection to my body would dissolve, thus my physical body would cease to exist, and that a return to my earthly life would not be possible.

His higher self revealed that Josef had chosen his unresolved tasks before incarnating. I could then see that I still had things to resolve in my life on Earth and that they were tasks which I had chosen myself prior to this incarnation. There was no doubt that I needed to return to my body. It was never a command from anywhere outside of myself, it was my decision and my decision alone. It was made clear to me that if I were to turn away from my current earthly form, that my unresolved issues would persist without me and that I would still need to face them at a later moment in a new incarnation.

Josef decided to return, though leaving the blissful state filled him with grief. I was simultaneously very thankful though, that the accident had resulted in this opportunity for a glimpse into the world, from which we humans have come. This experience gave me the realization that life is not meaningless, but rather that it contains concrete fields for learning and tasks to be experienced and completed. (Afterlife TV)
