Man Dies in Car Crash, Meets Jesus, and Gains the Ability to Heal Others
What Researchers Found
The Story
Dr. Lawrence Brock was a 22-year-old restaurant worker living in Colorado when he had his near-death experience in 1976. He crashed his car into a tree while driving home from a party in New York, suffering a cracked-open head and severe injuries that left him unconscious for three days. During the experience, Brock left his body and entered a white light. He felt deep love, peace, and caring. He looked down and saw his body leaning against the tree with blood, a police officer nearby, and his smashed car. Behind him appeared a silhouette of a man in white light with gold sparkles. Time felt timeless. The being told him, 'You have to go back. Your father wants you to stay,' referring to God. Brock accepted and returned to his body. After the NDE, Brock's hands warmed when touching people, leading to healing abilities. Synchronicities guided him to study spirituality with a Sufi Sheikh for 10 years. He became a healer, helping clients worldwide with physical and emotional issues, like straightening spines and easing pain. His life shifted to spiritual growth, meditation, and encouraging others to express their soul qualities.
“kind of want wanted to head back home and but I came up with a plan to tell”
The account features a severe car crash with three-day unconsciousness and an OBE claim of viewing the body position, damaged car, and police presence, with partial verification via later inspection of the car/tree and father's recall of head injury. However, details are somewhat predictable from the crash context, verification occurred after recovery without prior reporting to witnesses, and no highly specific or impossible-to-guess elements were confirmed.
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.
