I died 4 times and came back - NDE / Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
A man suffered a heart attack during a treadmill stress test at a cardiologist's office on February 8, 2011. He died four times during the procedure. During the NDE, he entered a dark swirling tunnel with light flashes multiple times. The first two times, he briefly returned to his body in confusion. The third time, he emerged on a rock cliff overlooking a beautiful heavenly mountain river with vibrant fall colors and fresh air. A voice told him to fall forward and come. The fourth time, he returned to the cliff, saw clear water with fish, birds, deer, and a truck crossing a wooden bridge. He flew toward a bright white light, passing through thorn bushes unharmed. He met a figure in white with long hair and beard, who conducted a life review of his mistakes and good deeds. The figure said it was not his time, instructed him to return with knowledge, and sealed some instructions for later. After the NDE, the man gained a sense of direction and mission from God. He spreads love, helps others feel good about themselves, and lives without fear of death. Revelations continue to unfold in his life.
“loving those beautiful views, I know God took me to that beautiful heavenly river scene so I would be comfortable and receptive to the message.”
The account features severe medical crisis with four clinical deaths but lacks any veridical perceptions from impossible perceptual access points, such as OBE views of the room. Medical details heard are specific but occur while semi-conscious with potential sensory access and are predictable standard procedures with minimal independent verification.
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.
