A MID-COURSE CORRECTION

Kelly made the connection with our next experiencer through social networking. Diane Goble, aged 76, lives in Sisters, Oregon, USA. She is the author of several books and has appeared on many radio shows and YouTube. What started out as a fun day nearly ended in tragedy and was to change Diane’s life.

In 1971, two months before my 30th birthday, I drowned and had, what I now understand to be, a near-death experience. Religion didn’t play a big part in my life until I was 10, when my 8-year-old sister was accidentally killed. My parents didn’t handle their grief well and I was lost in a fog of unresolved grief for several years. As a teenager, I began seeking answers by attending various churches … Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopalian. I didn’t find any. When I was in high school, a friend invited me to mass at his Catholic church. There I began to find some peace of mind, if not the answers to my questions. I can’t say that I ever actually believed in any of their biblical stories.

Still, I married in the church, had our three children baptized there, then left after a priest told me I had to make my own decision about birth control (I had to take it for medical reasons). I never went back, never gave God or religion a second thought … until two months before my 30th birthday when I drowned in a raging river and had an out-of-body experience in another realm where I was shown the truth about who we are and why we are here. I chose to return to my body with a message to share and a mission for my life, which I promptly forgot upon my return.

The experience changed me so profoundly that within three years I lost my husband and my home, and my ex temporarily took my children away, implying that I was an unfit mother. He pretty much thought I was nuts. On top of that, I had been a stay-at-home mum who hadn’t “worked” for ten years. No one would give me a job. Alone and afraid, I turned to alcohol, drugs and sex as I searched for answers that weren’t out there to be found.

When I was a child of 11 or 12 growing up on Long Island, New York, I would catch caterpillars and keep them in a cage so that I could watch their amazing metamorphosis take place up close. I found it fascinating that a creature could transform from a worm-like pest into a puddle of mush, then emerge as a graceful, colourful winged butterfly. Today, that’s how I would describe the transformation process I went through during and since my NDE. Everything I had been was melted into a soup and reconstituted into a more evolved human being than I was before.

I ran into a good friend I hadn’t seen since high school in Coral Gables, Florida, 20-some years after my NDE, and after a dinner
