I Died and Became One with God; What Happened Next Changed my Life.

The Story
Jacob, a man from Melbourne, Australia, who struggled with addiction and depression during COVID lockdowns, had a near-death experience in late 2021 after passing out from a drug overdose. He entered a peaceful void and encountered a powerful, loving energy he recognized as God from before his birth. God enveloped him in love, then took him to a space-like dimension filled with conscious souls resembling stars. The souls formed dynamic, multi-dimensional mandalas. Jacob flew through an atmosphere of perfect love, feeling turbulence, and reached a tower of light. He ascended it, absorbing intense love, then glided through a sea of souls. Layers of his human identity peeled away painlessly until his eternal soul light remained. God showed him this core self, and Jacob merged with the sea of lights, becoming one with God and losing his sense of self. God then sent him back, affirming unity and the role of channeling divine love. After returning, Jacob initially relapsed but surrendered, gradually quitting drugs, alcohol, and other habits. He now feels God's love within, lives in divine flow, experiences synchronicities, and shares his insights on YouTube to help others awaken spiritually.
