The Story
The experiencer, Riley, had a near-death experience after a jet ski accident at the age of 19. She fell off the jet ski and suffered severe injuries, leading her to realize she was dying. During the experience, she detached from her body and felt no pain. She ascended towards a bright light and encountered God, gaining a deep understanding of His existence. She was shown her family's generational curse of lust and divorce, which she felt compelled to break. After the NDE, Riley developed a new sense of purpose and a strong belief in God, leading her to share her story and insights with others.
