#304 - Kristin Butler Calls Out to God During Her NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Kristen Butler is a single mother of two special needs children living in California. She experienced her NDE five years ago due to blood loss from a deep foot laceration caused by stepping on a thick drinking glass, combined with a severe dental infection. During the NDE, she first heard spiritual screams of torment in darkness and felt separated from love, which scared her. She called out to God and her soul lifted rapidly into a bright bluish-white light filled with love. She entered a bright white space for a life review, where she saw planning her life with a council, angels protecting her from past dangers, and guidance in trials. Beings mediated about her life and decided it was not her time. Her spirit slammed back into her body, and she woke up. After the NDE, Kristen joined a church, received spiritual healing, and deepened her faith. She now feels connected to all, shows more empathy and love, pursues psychology and HR studies to help others, and views life as a gift for growth through choices.
“Love and from life and from everything I um but it was all dark I I did not see”
This NDE lacks any veridical perception claims of real-world events during the experience, focusing instead on subjective spiritual elements like screams, light, life review, and past-life insights. No impossible access, specific verifiable details, or contemporaneous verifications are described, limiting evidential strength despite moderate medical compromise from blood loss.
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.
