My Near Death Experience Story since 2012

Introduction

My name is Teddy Waiyaki Saiteye. I am a deaf and non-verbal person living in Nairobi City, Kenya. This is my personal story and spiritual experience that changed my life forever in 2012.

When I was younger, I lived in Dandora, Nairobi, before my family later moved to California Estate. I was living a simple, quiet life in Nairobi City. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Esther, whom everyone called Queen Esther, was a girl named Esther, whom I shared an unforgettable connection as childhood friends. As time went on, our paths diverged and we both grew up separately after our respective families moved away to different neighborhoods. Yet, even across the distance and the passing of years, she still remembered me from our childhood days.

After finishing my school education in 2009, life continued normally for both of us as we transitioned into adulthood. I was living a simple, quiet life in Nairobi City. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Esther had tried searching for me back in Dandora because she deeply remembered our childhood connection and wanted to see how my life had unfolded.

Sadly, before we could meet face-to-face again to share our life stories, she passed away tragically in a road accident in 2012.

The Night That Changed Everything

Not long after this incredibly difficult and mourning period, I went through a profound physical and spiritual experience that deeply affected my entire life, my beliefs, and my perception of reality. It was an event that completely redefined my existence.

One night, after suddenly feeling an intense, crushing physical pain and a wave of severe sickness, I collapsed inside our family home. Seeing me fall unconscious, my family became deeply frightened and rushed to my side, doing everything they could to help revive me. It was during this exact moment of physical collapse that I experienced what I describe as a definitive near-death experience — a journey out of my physical body and into eternity.

I felt as if my spirit had completely left the physical constraints of my body. Suddenly, I saw myself standing in an entirely different place, a realm filled with beautiful mystery, divine order, and a powerful spiritual presence that felt completely holy. As I looked around, I saw heavenly beings radiating light, brilliant flows of divine glory, and spiritual figures. These figures communicated with me through sign language, which instantly made me feel profoundly understood, included, and loved with the need for a single spoken word.

In this spiritual experience, I felt a tidal wave of peace, fear, surprise, and absolute wonder all at the exact same time. I believed with all my heart that I was being shown things that went far beyond normal human understanding or earthly logic. I saw that our lives are not random. Eventually, looking down at the path below, I felt a strong, undeniable desire to return to my family, to my mother and brother, and to my earthly life on Earth to complete what I knew was an unfinished assignment.

Following that choice, I regained consciousness in my room and survived the collapse. Since 2012, I have continued reflecting deeply on this milestone event every single day. It taught me that my life, my identity, and my writing are parts of a divine mandate rather than products of earthly circumstances. I began sharing my story with others around the world through my digital content, my social media platforms, and this blog. Whether people view near-death experiences through the lens of faith, deep spirituality, psychology, or personal belief, I believe these moments can deeply change a person’s life forever. It taught me that silence is a platform for God to build our future.

Thank you for reading my story, my personal testimony, and walking with me on this path of faith and digital authorship.
