• 05:00 - 05:30 be burning my retinas and I said wow now that's a bright light but it doesn't hurt and and now I feel myself being drawn like a like a magnet like a giant magnet the magnet is pulling me through pulling me through the tunnel and I'm starting to get closer to the light and then all of a sudden in a moment of no time I'm no longer in the tunnel now I'm in the middle of a giant sphere about the size of a soccer Coliseum huge
• 05:30 - 06:00 and I'm hovering in the middle of this ball in the inside of the ball and around it all 360 Degrees everywhere I looked our little Motion Picture screens of all of my lives and of all of the things that I'm doing and and the light is next to me I I don't see it but I feel it and I know it's there and the light and I start to communicate about
• 06:00 - 06:30 all of these events in all of my lives and and I could see them all and nothing was confusing I understood everything I could understand all the lifetimes I could understand all the things I did and when I would focus on any one particular screen I would relive it only now as I'm reliving it I'm reliving it knowing the feelings and and the effect that I have on the people that I'm communicating
• 06:30 - 07:00 with in that scene so if I'm if I'm with my family and talking to them about something I know what they're thinking as I'm talking so that because nothing's hidden nothing is unknown everything is transparent and and and I go from from all my various lives from being female from being on other planets so it's on and on and it was it seemed like I was there for for months but obviously in Earth time I was
• 07:00 - 07:30 only under I was only drowned for somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes otherwise I wouldn't be here saying this so so and then as as I'm looking at these things finally in another moment of no time now I'm not in a sphere I'm back in the tunnel and now I'm really close to the light I'm as close to the light as as I am to the screen on my computer
• 07:30 - 08:00 and and I'm standing there and the light says Andy I love you and I I'm impressed because it knows my name and then the light says Andy we love you and when the light says we love you the whole background uh and the light kind of disappear and now there are thousands and millions and trillions of other lights just like me and they say in one

• 10:30 - 11:00 when I said in my first couple words that was really exciting to me when I'm into light and and and and knowing things it's different than experiencing them so in order to experience the light tells me that and I and I know anyway because I know everything what would I lower my vibrations because everyone has their own unique vibration that's what makes human be different lowered up my vibrations so that I can incarnate and be born on planet like

• 11:30 - 12:00 called Andy Petro of Ukrainian descent living in the United States of America in 2022. that's and I'm reading my script and doing what I'm supposed to do while I'm still here waiting until my characters is done with this story and I can get out of here and get back where I belong so so so that that whole process of being in the light was just incredible and it seemed like I had been there for
• 12:00 - 12:30 years maybe hundreds of years but in the light since there is there is no time there is no there is no hierarchy there is no judgment there is no separation we're all one not in a dull boring way but in a happy exciting ever ever evolving ever new experiences in the light and then all of a sudden the light says
• 12:30 - 13:00 to me Andy you have to go back and I said whoa no no no you got the wrong guy I'm not going back and the light says the second time Andy you're going back and I said didn't you hear what I said there's no reason for me to go back to that planet I'm home and the light says to me the third time Andy you're going back and when I heard the word back the K and back
• 13:00 - 13:30 I felt myself being stuffed back into my body the most horrible feeling that I can ever imagine just as the most exhilarating experience I could ever imagine was when I left my body back and went back into the light the the most horrible one that I've experienced was going back into my body I didn't want to be there I still don't want to be here but I'm doing what I'm going to do so as
• 13:30 - 14:00 I'm hearing all this and I'm laying on the sand I'm on my stomach and my head's turned and they're pushing on my lungs to get the water out of my lungs this was back before CPR this is back in the 50s and I'm coughing the water out by the way I never lost consciousness this is a complete stream from the moment that I I left my body at the bottom of the lake until the moment that I went got back into my body on the sand
• 14:00 - 14:30 at the lake there were darnold blank spots it's a continuous flow of consciousness so my body was done it was laying there getting ready to become fish food and I wasn't there I was in the light and then when I came when they found the body and I don't know who found it and I didn't care because I didn't care about my body all I cared about was being in the light and so when I got up they said oh Andy Boy tell us what happened tell us what
• 14:30 - 15:00 did it feel like to drown and I said I can't remember everything I said my first big lie I said I remember nothing it's all a blank and that was not true the Vivid details that I'm talking about right now happened almost 70 years ago and as I'm talking to them right now I have the same feelings that I had in 1955 at the bottom of the lake I relived it thousands and thousands of
• 15:00 - 15:30 times and it never changes and I the the joy and the Ecstasy of being in the light is is there are no words everyone will know because everyone will get that experience because we're all come here we all go back and we do it over and over again in various from mutations in various galaxies and various worlds whatever it's a it's a it's a never-ending story
• 15:30 - 16:00 so I got up and then I'm saying to myself well I can't tell anybody I I never spoke of this to anyone for almost 30 years and in 1955 there wasn't even a word for what I experienced near-death experience wasn't created until in the late 70s by Dr Moody was phrased it and framed it and the e Dear death experience when I read his book for the first time
• 16:00 - 16:30 back at 25 years later I was coming back from a business trip I saw the book Life After Life I picked it up I just decided to buy it I didn't even open up to look in it I bought it put it in my coat pocket and I came home from the airport when I got home had dinner kids everybody goes to bed and I said I I found this book I'm going to read it so everybody go to bed I'll put it back in a little bit so I went back
• 16:30 - 17:00 went to the closet got my book out and started reading Life After Life and I read the whole thing in one setting to three four o'clock in the morning I couldn't put it down and tears were coming out of my eyes because I knew after all this time I wasn't crazy all of the cognitive dissidents that was in my head trying to forget something that I can't forget afraid to tell anybody what I remember
• 17:00 - 17:30 was a horrendous 25 30-year period and now all of a sudden I'm not crazy that's a wonderful feeling to know that you're not crazy when you really think you're crazy for your own and nothing ever makes sense nothing in the that I experienced in the Life made sense with anything that I was taught and anything that I was being brought up none of that stuff made sense to me okay finally now
• 17:30 - 18:00 I know it's a near-death experience and once I acknowledge that then I started to remember even more then oh yes now I know so I'm still still really wondering and waiting to get back home that's my whole point I want to go back home and obviously it's going to happen soon in the meantime I'm doing the best I can to number one feel Joy whenever possible why I am here
• 18:00 - 18:30 isn't important what was important is that I am here and what I'm choosing to do is help people feel better about themselves and help and get them to know that there is a home I've been there and I'm ready to go back I got to I got the return ticket in my back pocket carry it with me all the time since I find out where the flight is I'm on it
• 18:30 - 19:00 I'm out of here so anyway that's what it means to me it's a very very happy process I'm just waiting in a good way waiting for for the return home and it's so obvious to me and it's so simple for me and I'm I like being happy I like being silly I like I liked Joy
• 19:00 - 19:30 because I when I remember the light the light was a happy place the light was filled with joy and humor I I say that that the light's like the greatest stand-up comic there is because the light told me the reason why I'm here is to experience Joy and the reason why everybody why exist at all is is to be joy and it's very simple
• 19:30 - 20:00 it's not complicated it's it's choosing to love rather than hate it's the choice and and while while I'm here what I'm trying to do more often than not is Choose Love over hate can't do it all the time because I'm a human being like everybody else but I can try to do it more often than not love over hate smile rather than to
• 20:00 - 20:30 be angry and it there's nothing profound it's simple acts of joy to make someone else happy and since we are all one when I make someone else happy that makes me happy when I hate someone else I'm hating myself if I hurt someone else I'm hurting me there is no separation
• 20:30 - 21:00 there is no hierarchy We Are All One and we are all one into light I am a holographic piece of delight that lowers my vibrations low enough so that I could be born on a planet called Earth in the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy during the time of 1937 to
• 21:00 - 21:30 2022 which brings us to today and it's fine that's my story and I'm sticking to it
