Wayne Morrison's Teenage NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Wayne Morrison was a 17-year-old in 1972 when he had a near-death experience after mixing medications and alcohol at a party. He suddenly moved through a dark expanse with a deep droning sound. He emerged above a vast field of huge flowers that communicated support to him telepathically. Luminous beings greeted him, answered his questions by instantly transporting him to experiences like viewing alien civilizations. A bright being, later identified as Jesus, embraced him with overwhelming love and joy, explaining life's purpose as love. He viewed the world's history on a stone tablet, understanding all events' connections. Beings told him he had a great mission and sent him back with harmonious praise. After returning, he tried to end his life to return but was stopped. He joined the Air Force, became a police captain, built a family, and later became more forgiving, empathetic, and focused on spiritual growth through studies like A Course in Miracles.

This NDE contains no veridical perception claims of earthly events or details inaccessible by normal means; it is a purely subjective spiritual journey involving otherworldly visions like flowers, beings, alien civilizations, and world history. The only potential evidential aspect is prompt reporting to a girlfriend, but without specific verifiable perceptions, the overall evidential strength is minimal.
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.
