Kelly describes a near-death experience in which she suddenly found it easy to breathe and felt herself ascending through a warm, reddish tunnel toward a brilliant light. She sensed that she had died but felt calm after being reassured that her children would be safe. During the experience, she was shown a vision of the universe where everything was connected, like a vast network, and she understood the deep importance of all life. As she moved closer to the light, she experienced beautiful music, colours, and overwhelming feelings of unconditional love from beings who communicated with her telepathically. Just before reaching the source of the light, they gently told her it was not her time and that she had to return. When she woke back in her body, the knowledge she had gained quickly faded, but the memory of the experience and the sense of the unity of all life remained with her.
