The Story
An artist experienced a near-death experience, though the specific cause is not detailed in the transcript. During the NDE, the artist conversed with a divine being who insisted they return to life. The artist proposed building a large, bizarre shrine to draw people and inspire thoughts of God. The being rejected this, stating shrines provide no benefit to God or Himself and that the artist had avoided people by hiding in the studio.
