The Story
Sam Caruba was a 24-year-old man who had a near-death experience in 1990. It started with a stomach bug. He got a Scopolamine injection from a doctor but had an allergic reaction. This caused cardiac arrest while he slept. During the NDE, he entered a pitch-black void with no body. He sensed endless distances and felt alone for eternity. He worried he was in hell and felt terrified. Then, flashes of every phobia in existence hit him like a fast movie. He understood them all instantly, as if his mind worked like a supercomputer. After the experience, he woke up curled up with black nails and fell from bed. His family rushed him to the hospital, where he survived a morphine overdose. In the aftermath, Sam developed PTSD and saw spirits at night. He gained clairvoyancy, mediumship, empathy, and healing abilities. He overcame his own anxiety and depression using kinesiology techniques. Now, he helps others with natural therapies while working in IT.
This NDE features a cardiac arrest with clinical death indicators but lacks any veridical perception claims, such as OBE observations of medical procedures or inaccessible information. The core experience is an internal void with no external sensory details or verifications. Post-NDE psychic abilities are reported with some self-verified anecdotes, but these do not qualify as NDE veridical perceptions.
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.
