"I Was Surprised by My Own Death" | Elisabeth Tauss's Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
Mrs. Taos, a dowser and former psychiatrist, had a near-death experience in April 2014. It happened when she suffered ventricular fibrillation while holding a dowsing rod in an apartment with detrimental energy zones. The couple present performed CPR for 45 minutes until her heart restarted. During the NDE, she entered an unknown room where the earth opened to reveal red and black colors and emaciated people, realizing it was about dying. She rejected that horrible place and moved to a bright area. There, she met her deceased husband and father, who looked young and joyful behind an invisible barrier. They greeted her warmly and talked. She relived moments like discussing Greek mythology with her son and treating her brother. She encountered God as a light, feeling shocked and needing life changes. Her husband pushed her back to her body. After waking from a coma, her right arm was amputated due to thrombosis, but she accepted it calmly. She gained humor, lost allergies and mental baggage, felt deeper love for all beings, and viewed death as liberation and renewal. She became more relaxed and connected with others.
“aspect of life for me because I felt kind of love that I hadn't felt before”
This NDE transcript contains no veridical perception claims of real-world events during unconsciousness; the experience consists entirely of subjective visions, encounters with deceased relatives, and personal realizations without any corroborated observations of medical procedures or inaccessible information. The severe medical crisis provides a strong backdrop, but the complete absence of specific, verifiable perceptions limits evidential strength.
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.
