The Story
Sharon McMann, a woman from the United States, experienced her most profound near-death experience in 2005 after being struck by lightning while talking on a cordless phone outside during a storm. The bolt hit her arm, causing searing pain, and she instantly left her body, floating above her crumpled form on the ground. She entered her house as a spirit, noticing the rooms had a burnt gold hue and unfamiliar furniture, which confused and panicked her. Suddenly, a massive, formless loving presence enveloped her, filling her with peace and erasing all fear. Together, they traveled sideways through breathtaking pink and gold clouds into a vibrant garden filled with singing birds, sweet smells, and crystal-clear air. There, two young men greeted her—her deceased infant brothers, glowing with inner light, resembling their father in youth. They hugged and reunited joyfully. Further in, a crowd of young, healthy people from various eras gathered, all glowing and smiling. Her life flashed before her like a fast black-and-white movie, revealing no judgment from God or herself—just understanding. A male voice declared, 'What you put into the universe, you will get back.' Divine knowledge flooded her mind, simplifying God as pure love, not complicated as humans make Him. She praised His simplicity amid visions of complex equations erased by truth. Walking with her brothers, she marveled at heaven's vibrations—colors, music, nature all harmonizing in praise. Jesus emerged from trees, identical to prior visions, in a white robe, saying, 'I love you. I'm with you. Don't be afraid.' He led her to a glade where God appeared as a laughing man with blue eyes and curly black hair. God asked what she'd do if alone with Him in the vast universe; she realized His presence everywhere, in all creation, including herself. Seeing God in trees, family, even hurtful people, she understood inner beauty and eternal spirit over body. God affirmed, 'I don't make junk.' Angels then showed future Earth events in a calm lake's reflection—warnings of collective selfishness causing crises, changeable through human transformation. Sent back, Sharon awoke with lasting heart and seizure issues from the strike. This NDE transformed her, revealing God's omnipresent love and interconnectedness. She now authors books like 'A Song in the Wind,' shares testimonies, and lives with purpose: to love unconditionally, knowing small acts done with love matter most in life reviews. Her experiences, including others from childhood drowning, surgery, and seizures, reinforced heaven's joy, healing, and growth, urging others to embrace divine simplicity and connection.
“but God has never taken his love away from you and people what I've learned is”
The account features multiple instances of clinical death or extreme crisis with detailed OBE perceptions from impossible vantages, such as viewing events from the pool bottom or OR ceiling, including specific details like lifeguard commands and surgical scenes. However, verifications are sparse, mostly self-reported to others after events, and limited to a few elements like recognizing deceased individuals and a puppy amid vast mystical/heavenly content.
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.
