I died and learned why we are here - NDE / Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
Inga, a 30-year-old woman, had her near-death experience in 1974 during a hospital exam for a headache. A doctor accidentally damaged her central nervous system by inserting a needle into her neck multiple times, leaving her unconscious for a month. She left her body and watched doctors treat her from above, feeling light and pain-free. She visited the doctor's home, observing his nervous tics and urination issues, which she later verified. She traveled through a tunnel to a bright light and entered a peaceful realm with vibrant colors and a beautiful meadow. She saw younger-looking deceased relatives but was told it was not time to join them. She viewed a portal revealing life's simple meaning, past lives as an Indian warrior, a harmonious girl, and an executed French aristocrat. A loving Being showed her current life review, highlighting actions and thoughts, causing shame but also showing good deeds like helping meth drinkers. She understood a childhood wound with her father. She was sent back to earth to sow love and improve. After returning, she endured severe pain using spiritual strength. She gained clairvoyance to sense others' feelings. Her life focused on love, positive thoughts, non-judgment, and faith in God, viewing earth as temporary schooling before returning home.
“I don't condemn someone I love because I love out of unconditional love and not out of egoism. I love my children so much, that I wouldn't condemn them but help and support them.”
This NDE features a strong veridical OBE claim where the experiencer accurately described the doctor's remote home layout, furniture arrangement, nervous tics, and urination issues during a month-long unconscious period from CNS damage, with the doctor stunned by the details and later physical confirmation of toilet location. Multiple precise, verified details from an impossible vantage point outweigh the lack of pre-verification witnesses. The sole cluster of verifications is exceptional in quality.
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.
