It was so beautiful. And I wanted to go into the light. So I started to go in, and there was a being at the end of the light who said, ray, it's okay. Come into the light. And so I proceeded to go in. And then as I went further into the light, the euphoria would increase. So I was like, okay, this is. You know, this is really. This is great. I'm on the living room floor, flat on my back, which is downstairs, and the paramedics are working on me. They have all their tools, all their equipment. They're doing their things. They're talking back and forth in medical jargon that I don't understand. And I'm like, guys, guys, I feel great. I feel better than great. The euphoria stays with you for a while. It kind of carries over. So I'm still in that euphoric place. I feel no pain, and I'm just trying to tell these guys that I've never felt better.
