Pilot Dies And Is Shown The Truth About Destiny And Letting Go (Amazing NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jim Bruton, an inventor and aircraft builder from Connecticut, had a near-death experience after crashing his vintage Flying Flea airplane on October 6, 2016. The engine failed during a test flight, and he hit trees at 70 miles per hour, breaking all his ribs, rupturing both lungs, fracturing his right leg, and suffering a hole in his lower back from the battery. He was airlifted to a trauma center and placed in a medically induced coma for a week. During the NDE, Jim teleported to a silent, gray, ruined cityscape on a building terrace under a stormy sky. He felt nausea and approached an egg-shaped metal sculpture with whirling sector gears representing future probabilities of thoughts, words, and actions. A disembodied voice explained it as the future birthing into the now and the process of becoming. He pulled out gears that caused pain, removing detrimental future choices, while the voice discussed destiny resetting, the in-between place between past and future, grace, interconnectedness, and the need to be gentle in relationships. He learned to let go of attachments and bad decisions. After waking, Jim quit drinking permanently with no cravings. He adopted a depersonalized view of his best self, embraced letting go of attachments, shifted to non-dual and non-linear thinking, lived more authentically, and found deeper spiritual connections and life's meaning through service and presence.
This NDE features a severe medical crisis with clinical coma, but contains no veridical perception claims of real-world events, people, or objects during unconsciousness. The experience is entirely visionary and symbolic (gears of destiny in an otherworldly realm), with no attempts at verification or corroborated details.
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.
