The Story
Darren Shinabarger, a 41-year-old man in the car business, suffered an aortic dissection on Mother's Day 2018. He felt a sharp pain in his chest at a gas station after visiting a casino. Friends rushed him to the hospital, where he collapsed, hit his head, and coded as medical staff worked to save him. During the NDE, Darren entered a black void filled with negative sludge and terrifying absence of God. He panicked and yelled, 'Jesus, save me!' A light then engulfed him, bringing safety and belonging. He saw a white light with rainbow colors that revealed joyous souls, all uniquely beautiful without lust. A tall white figure appeared beside him. Thinking of his five-year-old son, Darren chose to return. After waking from a month-long coma, Darren became a firm believer in Jesus Christ. He quit smoking, changed his wild lifestyle, and now helps recovering addicts. He reads the Bible, shares his testimony, grew closer to his son, and notices auras on people. Nerve damage left him with a limp as a daily reminder.
This NDE lacks any veridical perception claims, such as observing hidden medical details or impossible vantage points; it features only subjective spiritual visions (black void, light, souls) with no external corroboration beyond a friend confirming audible yells during a code blue, which do not constitute supernormal perception.
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.
