Man Is Shown Life’s Purpose & The Source Of Existence In Shocking NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Louis Griggs, a resident of Berkeley, California, experienced three near-death events. The first occurred during a car accident in Berkeley. He left his body, traveled through a tunnel to a source of light, love, and knowledge. A voice like Jesus told him his life's work was cross-cultural bridging to overcome ethnocentrism. He returned to his body unharmed. The second happened when a tree fell on him during a river trip, causing severe brain injury. He felt his core self as pure light and love, realizing all people are one yet uniquely different. The third took place in ICU during COVID illness amid cancer treatment. Out of body, he saw himself and others in a geodesic dome; he watched others die but chose to return for his family and work. After these events, Griggs founded a successful diversity training company, deepened his spirituality, and committed to living his purpose by embracing oneness and uniqueness.
“spirit and love it just felt amazing to finally be where there is no conflict at”
The NDE includes a severe medical crisis with heart and lung failure in ICU, and an OBE describing the geodesic dome ventilator tent with latches, indicating some perceptual detail from an impossible vantage. However, no attempts at verification, no confirmed accurate perceptions, and lack of specificity or unpredictability in details significantly weaken the evidential value.
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.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
