Eric Died And Traveled All Around Heaven!
What Researchers Found
The Story
Eric Peterson had a near-death experience in February 1989 during an emotional crisis in Vancouver, Washington. At his lowest point, he yelled at God and prayed for a sign. While lying down, a hand shook him, fire passed through him, and he was pulled out of his body. He entered a spinning tunnel, passed through a sheet of bright light into a misty spirit world filled with love. He saw arriving spirits and robed beings working in harmony. Another tunnel led him to Jesus, whom he hugged and felt immense love from. Jesus showed him his sins for correction, crucifixion wounds, multiple living worlds with people who loved him, religious figures from various faiths, self-aware planets, and God's love as an vast ocean. He explored realms, including a praising city and living waters garden, before resisting return. Eric returned to his body painfully. The experience transformed him. He earned a Doctorate in Theology of Divinity, studied multiple religions, developed psychic gifts, and dedicated his life to serving others with love, forgiveness, and protection from darkness.
