The Birdies

This is a true story that occurred in 1994 and was told by Lloyd Glen.

…On July 22nd, I was enroute to Washington, D.C. for a business trip.

It was all so very ordinary, until we landed in Denver for a plane change. As I collected my belongings from the ovehead bin, an announcement was made for Mr. Lloyd Glenn to see the United Customer Service Representative immediately. I thought nothing of it until I reached the door to leave the plane and I heard a gentleman asking every male if they were Mr. Glenn. At this point I knew something was wrong and my heart sunk. When I got off the plane, a solemn-faced young man came toward me and said, “Mr. Glenn, there is an emergency at your home. I do not know what the emergency is, or who is involved, but I will take you to the phone so you can call the hospital.” My heart was now pounding, but the will to be calm took over.

Woodenly, I followed this stranger to the distant telephone where I called the number he gave me for the Mission Hospital. My call was put through to the trauma center where I learned that my three-year old son had been trapped underneath the automatic garage door for several minutes, and that when my wife had found him, he was dead. CPR had been performed by a neighbor, who is a doctor, and the paramedics had continued the treatment as Brian was transported to the hospital.

By the time of my call, Brian was revived and they believed he would live, but they did not know how much damage had been done to his brain, nor to his heart. They explained that the door had completely closed on his little sternum, right over his heart. He had been severly crushed. After speaking with the medical staff, my wife sounded worried but not hysterical, and I took comfort in her calmness. The return flight seemed to last forever, but finally I arrived at the hospital, six hours after the garage door had come down. When I walked into the intensive care unit, nothing could have prepared me to see my little son laying so still on a great big bed with tubes and monitors everywhere. He was on a respirator. I glanced at my wife who stood by his side — it was like a terrible dream. I was filled in with the details and given a guarded prognosis. Brian was going to live, and the preliminary tests indicated that his heart was okay — two miracles, in and of themselves. Only time would tell if his brain received any damage.

Throughout the seemingly endless hours, my wife was calm. She felt that Brian would eventually be all right. I hung on to her words and faith like a lifeline. All that night and the next day, Brian remained unconscious. It seemed like forever since I had left for my business trip the day before. Finally, at two o’clock that afternoon, our son regained consciousness and sat up uttering the most beautiful words I have ever heard spoken. He said, “Daddy, hold me” and he reached for me with his little arms.

By the next day he was pronounced as having no neurological or physical deficits and the story of his miraculous survival spread throughout the hospital. You cannot imagine our gratitude and joy.

As we took Brian home, we felt a unique reverence for the life and love of our Heavenly Father that comes to those who brush death so closely. In the days that followed, there was a special spirit about our home. Our two older children were much closer to their little brother. My wife and I were much closer to each other, and all of us were very close as a whole family. Life took on a less stressful pace. Perspective seemed to be more focused, and balance much easier to gain and maintain. We felt deeply blessed. Our gratitude was truly profound.

Almost a month later, to the day, of the accident, Brian awoke from his afternoon nap and said, “Sit down, Mommy, I have something to tell you.” At this time in his life, Brian usually spoke in small phrases, so to say a large sentence surprised my wife. She sat down with him on his bed and he began his sacred and remarkable story.

“Do you remember when I got stuck under the garage door? Well, it was so heavy and it hurt really bad. I called to you, but you couldn’t hear me. I started to cry, but then it hurt too bad. And then the ‘birdies’ came.”

“The birdies?” my wife asked, puzzled. “Yes,” he replied. “The ‘birdies’ made a whooshing sound and flew into the garage. They took care of me.”

“They did?”

“Yes, he said.” “One of the ‘birdies’ came and got you and she came to tell you I got stuck under the door.”

A sweet reverent feeling filled the room. The spirit was so strong and yet lighter than air. My wife realized that a three-year old had no concept of death and spirits, so he was referring to the beings who came to him from beyond as ‘birdies’ because they were up in the air like birds that fly.

“What did the birdies look like?” she asked.

Brian answered. “They were so beautiful. They were dressed in white — all white. Some of them had green and white. But some of them had on just white.”

“Did they say anything?” “yes” he answered. “They told me the baby would be all right.”

“What baby?” And Brian answered, “The baby laying on the garage floor.” He went on, “You came out and opened the garage door and ran to the baby. You told the baby to stay and not leave.”

My wife nearly collapsed upon hearing this, for she had indeed gone and knelt beside Brian’s body and seeing his crushed chest and unrecognizable features, knowing he was already dead, she looked up around her and whispered, “Don’t leave us Brian, please stay if you can.”

As she listened to Brian telling her the words she had spoken, she realized that the spirit had left his body and was looking down from above. “Then what happened?” she asked.

“We went on a trip, far, far away…” He grew agitated trying to say the things he didn’t seem to have the words for. My wife tried to calm him and comfort him, and let him know it would be okay. He struggled with wanting to tell something that was obviously very important to him, but finding the words was difficult.

“We flew so fast up in the air. They’re so pretty, Mommy.” he added. “And there is lots and lots of ‘birdies’.” My wife was stunned, into her mind the sweet comforting spirit enveloped her more soundly, but with an urgency she had never known before.

Brian went on to tell her that the ‘birdies’ had told him that he had to come back and tell everyone about the ‘birdies’. He said they brought him back to the house, and that a big fire truck and an ambulance were there. A man was bringing the baby out on a white bed and he tried to tell the man the baby would be okay, but the man couldn’t hear him. He said, “Birdies told him he had to go with the ambulance, but they would be near him.” They were so pretty and peaceful, he didn’t want to come back. And then the bright light came. He said the light was so bright and so warm and he loved the bright light so much. Someone was in the bright light and put their arms around him and told him, “I love you but you have to go back. You have to play baseball, and tell everyone about the birdies.” Then the person in the bright light kissed him and waved bye-bye. Then whoosh, the big sound came and they went into the clouds.

The story went on for an hour. He told us, “the ‘birdies’ were always with us, but we don’t see them because we look with our eyes and we don’t hear them because we listen with our ears. But they are always there, you can only see them in here (and he put his hand over his heart). They whisper the things to help us do what is right because they love us so much.” Brian continued, stating “I have a plan, Mommy. You have a plan. Daddy has a plan. Everyone has a plan. We must all live our plan and keep our promises. The ‘birdies’ help us to do that because they love us all so much.”

In the weeks that followed, he often came to us and told all, or part of it, again and again. Always the story remained the same. The details were never changed or out of order. A few times he added further bits of information and clarified the message he had already delivered. It never ceased to amaze us how he could tell such detail and speak beyond his ability when he spoke of his ‘birdies’.

Everywhere he went, he told complete strangers about the ‘birdies’. No one ever looked at him strangely when he did this. Rather, they always get a profound softened look on their face and smile. Needless to say, we have not been the same ever since that day, and I pray we never will be.

About Near Death Experiences

Going to bring forward a few near death experiences so they will get read. There are some things about NDEs that are not readily understood.

Most near death experiencers report the following components:

  • Notice they are out of their body.
  • Seeing a bright golden Light.
  • Feeling surrounded by love and compassion.
  • Having access to great knowledge.
  • Seeing and talking to deceased relatives.
  • Seeing and talking to a Light Being.
  • The Light Being sending them back into their body.

The Light can be brighter than the Sun, but it doesn’t hurt their eyes to look at it. Some say the Light is Love and permeates everything including them. Some believe the Light is God. A few feel the Light shows the Oneness of all things which is God.

Experiencers have many questions, and they are answered as quickly as they think of them. All communication happens in the mind. It is a thought process.

Many experiencers see deceased relatives and talk to them. Some relatives they meet in the Light may not be known to them. Great grandfathers, and such.

Light Beings are seen by experiencers through the knowledge acquired in the physical. I attended a spiritual session on forgiveness through lucid dreaming. I saw the Light Being teacher as Jesus, but quickly realized by the questions being asked that others saw Him as God, Allah, Buddha, or Moses. They saw Him through the religion they practiced.

Beings of Light

In a near death experience after the person has entered the Light, he may notice “Beings of Light” coming towards him. Some experiencers see only one Light Being while others may see large numbers of them. These Light Beings are individuals living in the spirit realms. The experiencer may recognize some of them as deceased loved ones or relatives. While others will be perceived as high spiritual Beings such as Jesus, Allah, Buddha, etc. Each near death experience is unique to the individual having the experience. No two are exactly alike, but all have similar characteristics.

There are several different levels of interaction between the experiencer and the Light Beings. The experiencer may meet his deceased relatives and loved ones with hugs, even his deceased pets may be present. There will be conversation, and some of the conversation may be verified upon the return to physical life by the experiencer. There are NDE accounts were a deceased relative revealed where he had hidden his Last Will, or a sum of money, or other valuables, and upon returning to physical life the experiencer was able to find these items where his deceased relative said they would be. Sometimes the experiencer will meet deceased relatives unknown to him, and upon returning able to verify they were indeed relatives previously unknown to him.

The experiencer’s interaction with the Light Beings perceived as some religious figure can be manyfold. The perceived religious Light Being may tell the experiencer he must go back to his body. That it is not time for him to enter the spirit world. That he still has much to do and learn before his physical life is over. Usually this starts an argument, the experiencer does not want to go back to his body, and continue physical life. But with a gentle nudge, or push the experiencer is forced back into his body.

The experiencer may be “shown around” the spiritual world. Here there are accounts of seeing “The Park”, and the “Crystal City” behind it, where museums, libraries, schools, and residences can be seen. This event may be most any type of scenery, but the Park, and the Crystal City are the most common.

Now the experiencer may go through a “Life Review” where his whole physical life passes before him in a critique. Here he can determine how well he lived the physical life, and what he learned from it.

Then some experiencers are shown the future of their physical lives, and the future the world will take on some events. A young girl may be shown her future children, and who she will marry. Upon returning the experiencer watches these events come to past. One experiencer said it’s like living your life twice.

The interactions with the preceived religious Light Beings can be anything and everything. Each experience is unique. I suggest the reading of near death experiences to better understand them. There are literally thousands of them posted on the Internet. I have over 300 hundred of them on my web site.

The AfterEffect, pg4

Meeting People

The reason these experiences are called “Near Death Experiences” is due to the interaction with people which the experiencer meets while clinically dead. The experiencer may meet deceased relatives, friends, or loved ones, as well as persons unknown to the experiencer. These individuals may be called Light Beings, Angels, Guides, or Teachers.

The one most remembered by the experiencer is the one who tells them they must go back into their body and finish their physical lives. This person could be a relative, loved one, religious figure, or someone unknown. Usually the experiencer resists going back, wanting to stay in the spirit world. But they are reasoned, or forced, back into their bodies to finish their life in the physical.

While this is the most common experience there can be variations of it. Sometimes a choice is given to remain in the spiritual, or to go back into the physical. Here the experiencer must decide what to do. Each experience is unique to the experiencer. No two are exactly alike.

Since no two experiences are exactly alike many other things can happen in the interaction with people met during the experience. Relatives can tell the experiencer things previously unknown. In one experience a relative told the experiencer where to find their last will. In another where to find some hidden money. On occasion the experiencer will meet a relative unknown to them and verify the relative was real after coming back to life, or meet a relative they didn’t know was dead.

Experiencers may be shown buildings, art, the hall of records, the crystal city, among many other things. Colors, music, flowers, and fauna they had never before seen.

Some will be given a life review. Their life will pass before them on a screen while they review how they interacted with others during their physical life so far. They will feel what others felt during the process. If they harmed an individual in any way the experiencer will feel the same pain felt by the person they harmed, and conversely, if they helped an individual in any way the experiencer will feel the same joy felt by the person they helped. This is sometimes call the judgement. It is judged only by the experiencer though light beings will be present to help if asked. Life reviews are teachings that help us to change our attitudes and feelings toward others so we may be more loving individuals.

There may be other things happen that I have not remembered. I hope this writing will encourage you to read a lot of near death experiences. The more you read, the more you will understand the nature of this phenomenon. There are over 300 experiences on this site, some small, some large. I posted them exactly as I received them with only a spell checker run on them and words that were mispelled corrected.

This is what makes experiencers know their experiences were real. You may have heard skeptics say near death experiences are just hallucinations, delusions, and such, that can be reproduced by scientists using drugs or electical stimulation techniques. This, of course, is totally false. The research now being done on near death experiences is showing that consciousness does indeed live after the death of the brain and body. I hope you will read the current research as well as many near death experiences.
