David Maginley Died Multiple Times and Met Jesus | NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
The experiencer was a hospital chaplain who had a near-death experience (NDE) after passing out during a chapel service. He was dead for 15 minutes due to a tumor. During the NDE, he found himself on a grassy hill with a tree at the top. He felt a powerful love and joy, and he met a wise, compassionate entity who told him he had important work to do. The entity reassured him that his life was going well, but he had to return. After the experience, he felt homesick and struggled to integrate it. Eventually, he became a hospital chaplain, helping patients facing cancer find meaning and love in their lives. He now sees his work as part of a greater purpose.
