Man Pronounced Dead for 20 Minutes; Visits Other Worlds And What He Saw Was Beyond Words (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
David J. Stubs had a near-death experience after a car accident. He was driving home when he collided with another vehicle and lost consciousness. During the experience, he left his body and saw the accident from above. He traveled to different places, including space and other worlds. He felt a sense of freedom and power. He encountered God, who told him it was not his time to die. After 20 minutes, medical personnel revived him, and he returned to life. After the NDE, David gained a new perspective on life. He realized that Earth is a temporary place for learning and felt a deep connection to the spiritual realm.
“and I say, "I never felt alive before. I never felt alive until the day I died."”
