Expanse Consciousness

The following story is from Lisa Garr about her near-death Expanse Consciousness experience.

I am an enthusiastic mountain bike riders. In fact, I met my husband in a mountain bike race. We dated for a while then we broke up. However, since we both were enthusiastic mountain bikers, and when we knew that there was a race in Los Angelas of one summer, we decided to race together.

The day of the race was very hot. It was about 90 F in the morning. The bike route was very treacherous and challenging with many hills and ravines.

I was at a top of the hill and saw a woman biker ahead of me on the down slope. I knew I could overtake her with my downhill biking techniques which I have learned over many years. But that was the last thing I was aware of.

Suddenly, I saw myself floating around in a cloud and saw my bike tumbling all the ways down to the bottom of the ravine. I saw a group of emergency medics rushed down to the injured biker--my body; Floating in a cloud, I was wondering what was going on. At that time, I (my soul) felt no pain, but I was fully aware of everything happening to my body and all the conversation of those medics around my body. I saw John (my ex-boy friend) rushed to my side trying to work on my breadth and heart beat. I also felt I shot out a bright light to John (Later, John and I are married. It turns out the most fantastic and wonderful marriage for both of us.)

In the end, a helicopter lifted me up to a hospital where they found I had a severe brain damage that has impaired my short term memory. I had gone through many sessions of therapy to gradually regain my memory.

In summary, I had a near-death experience. In that experience, my soul had detached from my body and I was in an expanse conscious state.

Later, as I was studying psychology, I found that there were already many documented near-death and expanse-conscious cases. What I also found out we do not need to go through such 'near-death' experience to reach such expanse consciousness state. Athletes when they reach 'zone states', they had reached a state of expanse conscious. Monks who meditate can also reach such a zone state of expanse consciousness with meditation.
