The Story
Jill had a near-death experience on Halloween 1971 after a motorcycle accident. She rode on the back of a bike with a young man. They hit an oil slick on a curve, and the bike crashed into a guard rail. She flew through the air and blacked out. She heard high-pitched noise and saw the Earth's backside shrinking as she floated away. She turned and viewed the living cosmos in 3D, with stars, nebulae, and galaxies. Drawn faster, stars streaked by, leading to comforting darkness. A golden cloud approached in jumps. Inside, she floated over people in white in a hallway. A man directed her to a desk. A concierge checked her, revealing a beautiful landscape behind. She sneaked to a pulsating light on a hillside. Her identity dissolved as she merged with a joyful collective essence in a liquid pool, becoming one with all life. Pulled back, she retraced her path through space. She hovered above the crash, recognized her body, and returned. In the hospital, she almost died again but came back. After the NDE, she tried to share it but faced dismissal, especially from Christians. She named the desk figure Howard and talks to him daily for support.
“one with it I knew all other life was in the pool I was one with everything I was”
The NDE includes a severe medical crisis with blood pressure dropping to zero and an OBE from an aerial vantage point over the crash site, providing moderate impossibility of access. However, veridical claims lack specificity, unpredictability, and strong verification, limited to a minor confirmed detail of hearing one's own screams.
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.
