African-American Spiritual Journeys: Unity & Oneness of Near-Death & Related Experiences
What Researchers Found
The Story
Kalia Sage, a grad student in health promotion, suffered a near-death experience in 2014 from Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis caused by prescription medication Lamictal. She entered a 37-day coma after her skin burned from the inside out. During the NDE, she left her body and met a light being guide who communicated telepathically, assuring her she would not die. She reviewed past childhood sexual abuse by watching a stand-in relive it, visited the present to witness family and a friend's gender reveal, and glimpsed future events that later occurred. She shape-shifted into elements, saw connected continents like Pangaea, encountered non-human angels, and confronted a vast mirror representing God, gaining all knowledge but was pulled back when trying to cross. After waking, she developed mediumship, remote viewing, and rapid healing abilities. She left organized religion, embraced spirituality, broke generational curses, and became an intuitive healer and coach, helping others heal trauma and align with their soul's purpose through body, mind, and spirit integration.
“had never met her in real life never saw a picture of her nothing you know so it”
The account features several self-reported veridical perceptions during a medically severe 37-day coma, including observing a doctor's specific action (pen on toe) during a seizure and details of a friend's gender reveal party while unconscious. However, access impossibility is limited to out-of-body views from the same room, verification relies on post-event reactions without independent corroboration, and reports occurred after awakening without pre-verification documentation.
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.
