RETURNING TO LIFE: Coming back with Remarkable Gifts after my NDE with Ginny Jablonski
What Researchers Found
The Story
Ginny Jablonski suffered from neurological Lyme disease, which caused severe pain. She took high doses of opioids, including a 135-microgram fentanyl patch and 8 milligrams of Dilaudid, leading to an overdose and her near-death experience. During the NDE, Ginny found herself in a giant white space facing a man who resembled Jesus. He held out his hand and said she had suffered enough and her life was over. She reached for him but heard horses and donkeys from an animal sanctuary calling her back. They reminded her that she had something important to do. She turned away from the man and returned to her body. After the NDE, Ginny began a spiritual quest. She discovered intuitive abilities and recalled hundreds of past lives as a healer and shaman. She now facilitates healing for traumatized people and animals, travels to share her story, and advocates against opioid overprescription.
This NDE involves a subjective spiritual vision triggered by opioid overdose with no veridical perceptions of external events, people, or details impossible to know normally. All elements (Jesus figure, sanctuary animals, mission reminder) derive from the experiencer's known life and memories, lacking verification or specificity.
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.
