SOMETHING Has To CHANGE - Incredibly Detailed Near Death Experience (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Daniel Beresi was a 19-year-old with severe heart problems and high blood pressure. The NDE happened in 2007 while he rested in a Greek Orthodox monastery in the Pacific Northwest after a liturgy. His heart stopped, and he felt like crawling out of his body. He floated to the ceiling and looked down at his body, which seemed unreal at first. He connected his consciousness to praying monks and felt their sincerity. Then he realized it was his body and got pulled upward through the ceiling. He saw wildfires below and felt emotions of people in San Francisco. Rising higher, he viewed the living, breathing Earth covered in a crystalline mesh that constricted it. He saw the Milky Way, entered a white light, and became a blue orb of consciousness. He felt eternal love from a golden light. A familiar blue being showed him a spiral of Earth's eternal history, including past events like the Roman Empire. The golden light sent him back. After the NDE, Daniel's heart issues vanished completely. He gained clear dream recall and had many out-of-body experiences. He developed a deeper sense of eternal love and self-worth.

The NDE features an out-of-body experience during a perceived cardiac event with prompt reporting to witnesses, but lacks specific, verifiable perceptual details of impossible-to-access information, relying instead on subjective sensations and expected observations like monks praying and known wildfires.
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.
