Atheist Shocked by Who He Saw in Heaven | NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a man struggling with guilt, shame, heavy drinking, and job losses. His NDE was triggered by an accident at a train station where his coat caught in the closing doors, dragging him under the wheels and causing severe injuries to his left arm and massive blood loss. During the NDE, he left his body in the hospital while his distraught family was present. He found himself on a comfortable slate rock altar, naked but covered by a calming blue sheet, with his body fully healed. Pulsating orbs of light surrounded him. An intense healing white light came from grids above. An androgynous being appeared at his feet, radiating love and familiarity. Two female beings, one Caucasian and one Indian, hovered hands over him, healing his soul and removing guilt and shame with powerful love energy. He looked over the edge and saw a waterfall of sparkling stars cascading into galaxies, realizing he was in the universe. A tunnel of white light with circulating flames appeared, felt as the source of creation and God, vibrating with unconditional love. He was suddenly thrust back into his body. After the NDE, he gained self-love and confidence, overcoming his drinking problem. He pursued art and music without prior training, creating large paintings and classical symphonies to share his experience and affirm the afterlife. His life transformed from failure to purposeful creation, with no fear of death.
