Woman's Near-Death Experience Unveils Past Lives and Life's Purpose Amidst Boat Accident Tragedy
What Researchers Found
The Story
Claire was a young divorced woman water skiing in the Sacramento River delta in 1974. She fell, and the rope twisted behind her left arm, dragging her behind the boat because her friends were not watching. Her spirit left her body, and she saw herself being dragged. She entered a dark, comfortable tunnel that felt familiar. She emerged into an area of beautiful flowers with colors not seen on Earth. Then she moved into the universe filled with stars and galaxies, feeling happy and at home. She met a being named Melchizedek, who looked ancient and young with blue eyes, a gray beard, and robes in gold, velvet, and green. He asked if she was ready to come. She remembered her soul chose to come to Earth to learn and grow. She saw a temple of light where beings studied and a border she could not cross. She chose to return for spiritual growth, her life purpose, to be with her son, and to spare her friends guilt. The experience changed her life completely. She lost fear of death and now lectures on near-death experiences and counsels others, embracing a sense of purpose and oneness.
