The Story
Bill Long was a firefighter and triathlete in Santa Barbara. He caught a severe flu from a patient, became dehydrated and feverish, and collapsed in the hospital emergency room after receiving medications that dropped his blood pressure to 40/0, leading to cardiac arrest around 3:30 AM. He left his body and became a huge euphoric cloud flying through a field of colorful vibrating orbs that welcomed him. He realized his infinite true self and viewed akashic records of information. He entered a clinic-like facility where three short hooded beings giggled and asked about his life lessons. A tall wispy energy being emanated powerful love and chuckled like a father. Bill refused to return to Earth, but the being sent him back, dematerializing the scene into heavy darkness before he reentered his body and watched his vital signs improve. After the NDE, Bill shared his story briefly but stopped for 15 years. He developed musical talent, playing drums in bands effortlessly. He experienced a spiritual awakening, offered service to the divine, and pursued Kundalini yoga, gaining a new purpose in spiritual growth and fearlessness about death.

This NDE features a severe medical crisis with reported blood pressure of 40/0 and ICU admission, but lacks any veridical perceptions of the physical world. The experiencer describes watching his own monitors upon returning to the body, which is vague, expected, and accessible via normal senses if semi-conscious; no specific, verified, or impossible details are claimed or corroborated.
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.
