Man Died & Learns We Have It Completely Backward
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a member of a Navy team deployed to the Antarctic Ocean in 1997. During a mission, a shackle snapped, causing them to fall into the icy water. They struggled to stay afloat and were eventually pulled under the ship by the propellers. In the water, they experienced a sense of panic that quickly faded into peace and blackness. They felt connected to entities of light and experienced overwhelming love. A gentle voice encouraged them to return to life. They woke up on a boat after being rescued by their team. After the NDE, the person gained a new perspective on life, emphasizing the importance of living through the heart and valuing relationships over material success.
