Lessons for Lena 80 Years of NDEs and STEs with Helen L. Stewart PhD
What Researchers Found
The Story
Helen L. Stewart, an academic and third culture kid, experienced multiple near-death experiences during medical crises in her 20s and 30s, including surgeries for ruptured cysts and reproductive issues, and later with stage four cancer diagnosed in 2015. During these events, she left her body and observed it from above or in a neutral area, heard doctors discuss her survival chances, and noted buzzing sounds or uncomfortable realms. She felt no pain outside her body but chose to return, later regretting the return to pain. These experiences also involved sensations of inexplicable love and compassionate detachment. After the NDEs, Helen integrated spiritual insights into her career, enhanced her intuition for business and life decisions, defied death prognoses repeatedly, and viewed illnesses as gateways to transformative awareness, leading to a fearless embrace of metaphysical realities.
“you know just love it love it love the moment love him let it be going about”
The transcript describes several NDEs involving OBEs during surgeries and medical crises, but lacks specific, verifiable details of external events or conversations. No attempts at verification or corroborated perceptions are mentioned, limiting evidential strength despite some unconsciousness and out-of-body vantage points.
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?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
