It's All About the Love with Paula Lenz
What Researchers Found
The Story
Paula Lentz, a 29-year-old executive in Houston, Texas, experienced an out-of-body event three days after her brother Don's sudden death in a truck accident in 1983. The trigger was intense grief from losing her younger brother, whom she felt responsible for protecting. While driving his truck, she gained 360-degree vision and felt Don's hand on her shoulder. She saw him as sparkling particles and heard him telepathically say not to be sad, that he was on another plane and it was his time to go. She left her body, becoming pure consciousness, and briefly saw a landscape before entering infinity. She felt oneness with the universe, peace, all knowledge, and universal love, with Don beside her. She tried to go deeper but Don pushed her back, saying it was not her time. She thudded back into her body and continued driving unconsciously. After this, Paula's view of life changed forever. She had ongoing communications from Don, like moving objects and visions. She developed intuition, electromagnetic effects, and saw auras. She waited over 30 years to share due to fear of judgment, then published her book in 2017 after retiring. Now she feels authentic, helps others understand oneness and love, and created a visualization technique to reconnect with spirit.
