The Story
Robin Aisha Lansong was an 8-year-old girl abducted from the US in 1977 and taken to Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. During the Rhodesian War, guerrilla soldiers shot her in the head while she played by the river, causing severe blood loss that triggered her near-death experience. She left her body and felt scattered until two dark-skinned sisters touched her face and gathered her essence. They showed her a golden sphere for full restoration, but she hesitated, longing for her village family. She fell into a dark, mossy stone stairway and met an old man who guided her through a cave of repressed screams from past abuse, helping her realize it was not her fault. They jumped off a cliff like birds, and he explained dying as gentle belonging to the universe. She met a Royal Shepherd in a field who showed human connections. Viewing her body from above, she heard her village mother's calling song reminding her of her purpose as a medicine singer. She chose to return. After returning, she survived the village attack and was taken back to the US. She became a visual artist, medicine singer, craniosacral therapist, and health intuitive, using her experiences to heal others. Her 2017 trip to Zimbabwe validated her story and boosted her confidence in her purpose.
“knew if I didn't gather that back in and even it out of my body that I was dying”
The account features a severe medical crisis from a head gunshot wound and blood loss, with a specific out-of-body perception claim of viewing her rescuer (Mommy Atan) rocking and singing to her body from above. However, this key veridical claim lacks any reported verification or attempt to confirm it with the rescuer during their 40-year-later reunion, and there are no other corroborated perceptions, severely limiting evidential strength.
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.
