"My Heart Stopped for 3 Minutes. I Saw the EKG." Richard's Profound NDE (Near Death Experience)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Richard Green experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after suffering from dehydration during a bicycle training ride. He went to the hospital where he felt very sick and then lost all his senses. During this time, he felt a sense of bliss and love, and he sensed a connection with the oneness of creation. He encountered the souls of those he had known who had passed away. After three minutes, he returned to consciousness and felt revitalized. Following the NDE, Richard developed a deeper understanding of love and connection. He no longer feared death and emphasized the importance of compassion, gratitude, and kindness in life.
