A woman who was greeted by blue-skinned beings, similar to Avatar, after passing over to “the other side” has revealed that life is actually an illusion.
Nicole Meeuws recalls being “pulled” from her body and entering a tunnel of light.
She recalls time, nor fear, existing.
Her physical form, however, was laying lifeless on a hospital bed.
The 49-year-old, who was officially pronounced dead for two minutes, says she was greeted by “blue-skinned” beings with human faces, akin to the characters in Avatar.
While she didn’t understand their language, they made her feel at home and gave her the message telepathically that life is actually an illusion – and we only start living when we die.
“I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn’t want to leave,” the artist told Need To Know.

“I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from.
“I learned that death is not an end, it’s a return to our actual lives.”
Nicole was in the hospital after sadly losing her baby and was rushed in to have emergency surgery.
After complications, though, she started to fall in and out of consciousness, before everything shifted.
She said: “I found myself passing through a tunnel of blue and white light, not a beam, but a corridor that felt alive.
“It didn’t feel frightening; it felt like I was being called home.
“The light had a temperature, a tone, almost like music made of water.
“As I emerged, I entered an immense glowing space.
“The colours were not of this world, they were luminous tones of silver, soft violets, deep radiant blues – and they didn’t strain the eyes.

“The chamber was vast, larger than any earthly structure, and everything pulsed gently like a heartbeat.
“And then I saw them.
“Two towering beings seated on marble-like thrones, shimmering with energy.
“Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition.
“They looked human, but had gentle gills on their cheeks.
“I remember seeing their fish-like tails, rather than legs, covered in scales.
“They were both male and female intertwined and didn’t speak in words – but I understood everything they had to tell me.”
Nicole, from Greece, says they told her that she was never meant to have children and that her gift, instead, was to teach people about “the other side”.
After what felt like a lifetime, but was actually only a few minutes, she was “zapped” back into her physical body.

Her husband, Christos, 65, a specialised doctor, tried to speak to her, but she could only reply in a high-pitched tone and an “unfamiliar” language that she had never learned.
She said: “It sounded like dolphin clicks.
“It continued for minutes, which left everyone around us stunned.
“But I couldn’t stop it – it was coming through me, not from me.
“My senses were heightened and I could hear emotion in people’s voices as colour.
“I returned completely different; almost reborn.”
Nicole, who hasn’t had any near-death experiences since, says she often has visions of the blue beings who greeted her on the other side.
She believes they are from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, which are non-alien creatures – otherwise referred to as Demigods – that are said to have given civilisation to mankind.

Her mission? To spread the message that “love is stronger than death”.
She added: “Love will always win; it’s where we came from.
“We’re all one big family, regardless of boundaries, cultures, religion and politics.
“Everything that exists came from the same spark.
“The more we hold onto fear, hate and lies, the easier it is to control humanity.
“To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love.
“I’m no longer afraid of death because I know what’s waiting for me on the other side.
“It was a beginning, not an end.”
