The Story
Paul Northridge was a 14-year-old boy from Derbyshire, UK, born with spina bifida. The NDE happened during surgery when a muscle relaxant caused a severe reaction, leading to him passing out and his heart stopping. Doctors and nurses worked to revive his body. He left his body at an angle and watched the medical team with a 360-degree view as a featureless soul. He felt calm and realized he had no connection to his body. A portal opened, and three translucent, loving beings approached. They asked if he wanted to leave, and he agreed. He entered a busy realm like home, saw souls with guides and others playing light games. He passed a recovering soul in a bubble. During a life review in a well-like structure, he relived his past bullying and his own bullying, saw his parents' caring thoughts, viewed future events like driving, traveling to Russia, marriage, and his old age death, plus previous deaths, conception, and lessons from animals on unconditional love. The beings asked if he wanted to return as Paul. He agreed, seeing a warm light, because he was young with more to learn. After the NDE, Paul became more spiritual and tried to practice unconditional love. He felt less resentful about his disability and religion, accepting unique experiences for everyone.
