Near-Death Experience - Oliver John Calvert - Take Care Of The Earth, Animals, One Another
What Researchers Found
The Story
A man experienced a near-death experience, though the specific trigger is not detailed. During the NDE, he heard a boy say, 'You have not fulfilled your purpose here.' He asked what his purpose was. A voice replied that his purpose, like every man's, is to take care of the earth. The voice instructed him not to strip mine, pollute, or destroy the earth. The man felt indicted because he had littered and ignored the environment. Next, the voice said he is responsible for animals, using his intelligence and strength to protect them. However, the man had hunted for sport and lacked compassion. Finally, the voice stated he is here for other people, but the man had been part of the problem instead of the solution. He grieved over his failures. The voice then began to teach him more. After the NDE, the man gained a new sense of responsibility toward the earth, animals, and people.
