Colin Perry's NDE Warning
What Researchers Found
The Story
Colin Thomas Perry, a 49-year-old media studies lecturer, suffered a heart attack in 2008 while starting a weed whacker in his backyard. He heard God's voice warning him of death but with tasks to complete, called an ambulance, and passed out en route to the hospital. During the NDE, he floated in darkness like water, realized he had died, and sank toward a black abyss in fear. He cried out to Jesus, who grabbed his wrist and pulled him upward to a cloudy light realm with six or seven tall angels. Jesus offered a choice to stay in paradise or return. Colin felt profound love and soul-to-soul communication. He panicked about his family, but angels calmed him. Jesus warned that returning required righteous choices for future entry to paradise, entered Colin's soul to repair him, and showed future glimpses. An angel checked his body, confirming it was viable. Colin chose to return and re-entered feeling heavy. After the NDE, three arteries healed miraculously. Colin wrote 'Dying to Be Alive' in 2015, shares his experience to ease death fears, deepened his faith in Jesus, and feels ongoing spiritual unity and responsibility to help others through love and righteous living.

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.
