Franco Romero recalls his Infant NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Franco A. Romero, a six-month-old baby, had a near-death experience from collapsing lungs in a hospital in Bogota, Colombia. Doctors gave him last rites as his organs shut down. He left his body and entered a bright light in a desert. The light warmed him and vibrated through each cell, creating bliss and oneness. He merged with infinite light beings and recognized some as ancient family who hugged him. He accessed all knowledge and felt at home. An arm on his shoulder signaled he must return. He passed through a colorful tunnel back to his body and recovered miraculously. The experience granted him clairvoyant abilities and a guiding voice called Caleb. As an adult, he wrote 'The Closet Spiritualist,' became a spiritual coach, and co-founded Nourish LLC to help others connect with their divine consciousness.
