I died and saw the book of life - NDE / Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
Sharon experienced her fourth near-death experience on December 17, 2017, during a hospital stay for a seizure. An adverse reaction to seizure medication caused her to stop breathing and die from acute respiratory acidosis. Her spirit rose out of her body, passed through the ceiling, and entered the dark universe. She felt wrapped in a warm, soft black velvet blanket, cocooned like a baby in the womb. A loving presence of God surrounded her, making her feel safe, protected, and deeply loved. Suspended among brilliant stars and planets, she experienced timeless peace, curiosity, and comfort without fear or worry. Suddenly, a vacuum pulled her back into her body. She awoke to bright lights, loud noises, pain, and medical staff attending to her. This NDE helped Sharon overcome her fear of the void by showing God's loving presence. Amid depression from health and family issues, it allowed her soul to rest, helping her decide to return to life instead of leaving hastily.
“Even though I couldn’t see, I knew that God was with me . I felt no fear or worry as I was curled in a fetal position within this velvet encasement.”
The primary veridical claim involves perceiving a recently deceased man's spirit with his already-deceased son during surgery, confirmed later that day by a friend's message, providing moderate evidential value due to unpredictability and verification. However, physical OBE perceptions in the operating room are vague and lack specificity, with no documented pre-verification reporting or multiple confirmations limiting the overall strength.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Was this Evidence Strength score useful?
Was this Experience Depth score useful?
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
