#15 Wayne Morrison gets emotional over God's answer to this question from Near Death Experience, NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Wayne Morrison was a 17-year-old in 1972 when he had a near-death experience. It happened at a party where he drank alcohol while taking medication for a cold, causing him to suddenly enter an altered state. During the experience, Wayne moved swiftly through a dark tunnel with a calming rumble. He saw a light and fields of huge flowers that made music and supported him. Light presences guided him to a brilliant being who enveloped him in unconditional love. He asked questions telepathically, learning about other civilizations and that the meaning of life is love. He viewed Earth's history rapidly and understood all connections. Told to return for a mission, he resisted but was sent back with support from many light beings. After the NDE, Wayne married his girlfriend, joined the Air Force, and served 30 years as a police officer, retiring as captain. He built a family with two daughters, five grandchildren, and a great-grandchild. He overcame his atheism, lost fear of death, gained a deep sense of love and interconnectedness, and grew spiritually over decades, becoming less judgmental and more accepting.
“and again I never heard the word love it was an l-o-v-e it was this sort of deep”
This NDE lacks any veridical perception claims, featuring only subjective spiritual elements like tunnels, lights, and cosmic views with no ties to physical reality. Mild altered consciousness from alcohol and medication provides minimal medical severity, but absence of impossible access, specific verifiable details, or confirmations limits evidential strength entirely.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
