Steven Nowack's Two NDEs: A Four-Year-Old's Encounter with an Angel and the Quantum Blueprint of Creation
Twice he died, twice he met the same light being, and the second time, it taught him physics his four-year-old brain couldn't hold.
Steven Nowack was thirty-three years old, driving seventy miles per hour around a corner, when his car skidded, hit a telephone pole, and flipped five times. He woke up on an operating table, anxious and ready to bolt. Then a wave of peace moved through him, head to feet, and a voice he hadn't heard in twenty-nine years spoke again. It said the same thing it had said when he was four years old, pinned under a car in his neighbor's driveway: Steven, put your head down. Everything's going to be all right. When he heard that voice the second time, something inside his brain broke open, and memories poured out, memories of a conversation about the quantum field, the blueprint of creation, and the nature of consciousness itself, a conversation he'd had as a preschooler but couldn't access until now.

The Big Wheel and the First Crossing
Steven Nowack Steven says. He fired down that driveway between two parked cars. Another car was already coming. It hit him. The Big Wheel jammed under the back tire, pinning him beneath it, which kept him from being run over entirely.
What happened next changed the trajectory of his life. "First thing I remember is everything going black, kind of like fading away to a black screen," he says. Then the black opened again. He could see himself. "I could see my eyes roll in the back of my head." Everything went black again. When it came back, he was sitting with someone, leaning against them, his head down, looking at the ground.
He opened his eyes and saw hair, long and silvery white, almost touching the ground. He saw the bottom of a robe. "So I turned to look at the being and their face's all white and as I look at them I'm being pulled in," Steven says. He was pulled into the face of this light being, and they spoke. He asked what had happened. "I distinctly remember not knowing why we weren't moving our lips but we were speaking without moving, speaking without talking actually," he says.
As he was pulled deeper into the being's face, he started to see another world. "I get an instant knowing of, in this world there was peace, there was no hate, there was no anger, there was no pain," he says. He wanted to go there. He wasn't sure what to call it at the time, but now he'd call it Heaven. It was an instant knowing. That's when he started to sense he was outside his body, that something was different.
The being told him it wasn't his time but would return. He wasn't clear on why, or on everything they discussed, because "we did discuss more but I couldn't access it in my memories," Steven says. After that conversation, the being told him, "Steven, put your head down, everything's gonna be all right." He did. "Then I wake up with toys a few days later," he says.
He was four. He remembered it happened. He could feel it. But he couldn't access the full memory of what was said. That inaccessibility shaped the next twenty-nine years of his life.

A Wild Ride and a Second Collision
Steven grew up reckless. "I was pretty, you could say reckless after my experience because I knew it happened and I could feel it but I couldn't access the memories," he says. He drove fast. At thirty-three, he was doing seventy miles per hour around a corner when the car skidded out, hit a telephone pole, flipped five times, and stopped. He lost consciousness.
The next thing he knew, he was being wheeled into an operating room for surgery on his arm. He got very anxious. He was about to get up and leave. Then "this energy of calm and peace and just security, when you know you're okay, and this knowing came over me and it went from my head down to my feet all the way down and I instantly knew I'd be okay," Steven says.
He laid back down. The same being spoke to him. He recognized the voice from when he was four. "It was hard to recollect after the four-year-old incident, you know, I didn't quite remember it, but when I heard it again I instantly knew what it was," he says. The being said the same thing: "Steven, put your head down, everything's gonna be all right."
When the being spoke, "something inside my brain just broke and all this information about quantum physics, energy, what we had spoke about during that four-year-old NDE, that's when things started to open up," Steven says. He could access it now. He had enough knowledge to process it. At four, he wouldn't have been able to process or even know what this stuff was.
The Blueprint of Creation
The being showed him a field. It looked like a blueprint. "I was told it was the blueprint of creation and that we were in the quantum field," Steven says. The being began telling him about all living beings having a blueprint in this field that they could access for healing, physical and emotional. "This was our original blueprint as love that we came into this world, kind of like a file on a computer," he says.
Then he was inside what looked like a wagon wheel or a medicine wheel. He was in the center. "In the center I'm pure love," Steven says. The being started teaching him about how we send out our energy to experience reality. He saw extensions from his heart out into the outer rim of the wheel, then coming back, cycling through his consciousness. On the outer wheel, it was almost like a screen all the way around him. "There were memories and imprints of things I had did throughout my life up to that point," he says.
The being told him we can recall these with pieces of our soul that we spent. "We can recall these back to heal, to become more whole and closer to the original way we came into the world," Steven says. He came to know this later as Ascension, a soul retrieval.
The being explained the nervous system, how our waking consciousness is an operating system and our subconscious is the hard drive that stores all the programs. The mundane ones, like putting down car keys, knowing how to ride a bike. "And unfortunately programs of trauma where we're triggered when we're in certain situations and we're feeling the same thing similar to an old experience," Steven says. That was important. He found the blueprint key to healing that. Later, he started to institute these things.
The being taught him about quantum physics, quantum entanglement, "how we can send out our energy and affect another's energy no matter the distance," Steven says. He didn't go to college for any of that. It really freaked people out who were around him.
The Woman Who Fell
Steven came out of it and went back to work. He was a store manager at GameStop at the time. An elderly woman fell outside his store. She hit the cement. She was in a lot of pain. "This was the first time I figured out that I could heal or bring people into their own blueprint through quantum physics, through quantum entanglement and photons," Steven says.
She was on the ground. He put his hand on her back. "She turns and looks at me and she says, 'I'm all warm and I have no pain,'" Steven says. They were there for a couple minutes. People came and picked her up. When he went back to work, he thought, that was really weird. He kept thinking on it. "I started to have this energy in my center that was comparable to being like a kid on Christmas Eve and you can't sleep, times a thousand," he says.
That energy started to guide him to different churches, to try to talk to people, find answers. He realized throughout that he was looking outside of himself for God, not inside himself. He didn't find God in church, needless to say.

The Silhouettes and the Unified Field
Then the psychic experiences started. "I started seeing silhouettes all around me, they were walking back and forth, some were lighter, some were darker," Steven says. Then they began communicating. He couldn't shut off the communication. He couldn't shut them off talking in his head. "I could feel the pressure along the side of my head whenever they would pick up," he says.
At first, he was very scared. He didn't sleep for days. Then he figured out that "they were me being broadcast out into this unified field," Steven says. The unified field is basically all living beings creating this field. "It's a field where we're all connected without separation because we separate ourselves and everything here is made out of atoms and vibrates at different frequencies in reality, well in this field there was no separation, we were all the same," he says.
He started to figure out all these images were him being broadcast out into the screen. Some of them, as they were speaking to him, weren't very nice, "because I wasn't nice to myself growing up," Steven says. They started to say a lot of the same things he would say, very self-defeating, self-depreciating.
He decided he'd had enough. "I had to change my energy in order to release these personality aspects that existed inside my consciousness," Steven says. He had to start introducing different charges. That's when the game really changed. He became responsible for what was inside him. He reconnected to his inner child through nature and other exercises. "My nervous system had become so contracted, I had to open it again," he says.
He realized we trade our identity as energy, the energy of love, for approval through other people. "It was important for me to get all that energy back that I had extended out into the field," Steven says. Then people just started coming to him for different healing purposes, removal of dark entities, things like that, because he'd sort of figured out the puzzle.
The Elohim and the Sacred Everything
Sitting with that light being, Steven later learned it was an angel, or "what I came to know as an Elohim," he says. It taught him about our creation and "also how sacred everything is here and what a sacred place this is to have this experience," he says.
The being also taught him that "every living being is a part of God, is a part of this source, and how we treat them is essentially how we treat ourselves and that everything was connected," Steven says. During that NDE, he experienced feeling that oneness with everything. "I instantly knew that all religions were the same with different definitions made by people, but that it was all one and there was no separation on the other side," he says.
What This Tells Us About the Architecture of Consciousness
Steven's account is striking for several reasons, and the first is its structure. He didn't have one NDE. He had two, separated by twenty-nine years, and the second one unlocked the first. That's not common, but it's not unheard of. What it suggests is that the information imparted during an NDE can be stored in a way that the experiencer can't consciously access until they have the cognitive or emotional framework to hold it. Steven was four. He was shown the quantum field, the blueprint of creation, the mechanics of consciousness and energy. He couldn't process that. So it was held in reserve, waiting.
When he heard the same voice at thirty-three, something broke open. The technical term for this might be "retrieval," but Steven's own language is more accurate. He describes it as accessing memories that were always there. The NDE didn't give him new information the second time. It gave him the key to the vault.
The content of what Steven was shown aligns closely with what many NDErs describe when they report encounters with beings who teach or show them the nature of reality. The blueprint in the quantum field, the idea that all living beings have an original template of love they can access for healing, the wagon wheel with the experiencer at the center sending out and receiving energy, these are not metaphors Steven invented. They're visual representations of concepts that quantum physicists and consciousness researchers are only now beginning to articulate in mathematical language. Steven didn't study physics. He managed a GameStop. But he came back describing entanglement, non-locality, and the holographic nature of memory with startling precision.
The being he met, the one with the silvery hair and the white robe, the one he later came to know as an Elohim, didn't just comfort him. It taught him. That's significant. The teaching NDEs, the ones where the experiencer is shown how reality works, how consciousness operates, how healing happens, are among the most transformative. They don't just change the experiencer's beliefs. They change their abilities. Steven came back and started healing people. The elderly woman outside his store, the one who fell and was in pain, she wasn't healed by Steven's hands. She was healed, Steven says, by being brought into her own blueprint through quantum entanglement. He facilitated her access to her original template.
That's a big claim. But it's consistent with what he was shown. And it's consistent with what happened next. The psychic experiences, the silhouettes, the voices, the pressure along the side of his head, these weren't random. They were Steven's own consciousness, broadcast out into the unified field, coming back to him. Some of them were harsh because he'd been harsh with himself. He was seeing his own self-defeating patterns reflected back. When he changed his internal energy, introduced different charges, the external manifestations changed. That's not magic. That's the mechanics of a unified field where separation is an illusion.
The unified field Steven describes, where all living beings are connected, where everything is made of atoms vibrating at different frequencies but in that field there's no separation, is the same field that mystics have called the Akashic records, the collective unconscious, the web of Indra. It's the same field that physicists call the quantum vacuum, the zero-point field. Steven didn't read those books. He was shown it directly. And he was shown how to work with it, how to retrieve the pieces of his soul he'd extended out, how to heal the trauma stored in his subconscious, how to help others do the same.
The fact that he instantly knew all religions were the same, with different definitions made by people, is one of the most commonly reported insights from NDEs. It's not that religions are wrong. It's that they're all pointing at the same thing from different angles, using different languages, shaped by different cultures. On the other side, Steven says, there was no separation. That knowing didn't come from comparative theology. It came from direct experience of oneness.
What Steven's story reveals, more than anything, is that consciousness is not produced by the brain. It can't be. He was outside his body at four years old. He saw himself. He saw his eyes roll back. He met a being in another realm and had a conversation without moving his lips. He was shown information he couldn't process yet, information that was stored somewhere, not in his brain, because his brain was a four-year-old's brain, but in his consciousness, which is not the same thing. When his thirty-three-year-old brain was ready, the information was released.
That's not how brain-based memory works. That's how consciousness-based memory works. And it suggests that we are not our brains. We are using our brains. We are eternal beings, having a temporary physical experience, and the information we gather, the love we are, the blueprint we came from, all of that is stored in a field that doesn't end when the body does.
Steven also has another account where he describes being shown horrifying disasters coming in the future, visions he wishes he could forget. That account, recorded separately, adds another layer to his story. He wasn't just shown the mechanics of healing and love. He was shown the consequences of forgetting those mechanics, the trajectory we're on if we don't reconnect to the blueprint, to the original energy of love. That's a harder message. But it's part of the same teaching.
What makes Steven's experience so compelling is not just what he was shown, but what he did with it. He didn't write a book and go on tour. He went back to work. He helped an old woman who fell. He struggled with psychic voices and silhouettes until he figured out they were his own consciousness. He did the hard work of healing his nervous system, reconnecting to his inner child, retrieving the pieces of his soul he'd extended out into the field. He became responsible for his own energy. And then, quietly, people started coming to him for healing.
That's the trajectory of a real NDE. It doesn't make you special. It makes you responsible. It doesn't give you powers. It shows you the powers you always had, the ones we all have, because we're all part of the same source, the same blueprint, the same unified field. Steven just got a crash course, literally, at four years old, and then again at thirty-three. The rest of us are learning the same lessons, just more slowly, and without the benefit of an Elohim sitting next to us explaining the quantum mechanics of love.
But the lesson is the same. We are energy. We are love. We came from a blueprint, and we can return to it. We are connected to everything, and how we treat others is how we treat ourselves. There is no separation on the other side. And everything here, every moment of this physical experience, is sacred. Steven didn't make that up. He was shown it. And he's spent the years since trying to live it, and help others live it too.
That's what NDEs are for. Not to prove the afterlife exists, though they do that. But to show us how to live this life, here, now, with the knowledge that we are eternal, that we are loved, and that the blueprint of creation is not somewhere far away. It's inside us. It always has been.
