Atheists Dies; Brings Back Messages From The Other Side & Discovers Truth About Guilt, Love in Life

The Story
Drew Brophy, an artist from San Clemente, California, suffered a near-death experience after contracting COVID-19. His lungs collapsed like wet paper, tearing during deep breaths, which led to a coma. During the NDE, he instantly left his body and felt free from pain. He expanded rapidly into a river of light and energy, absorbing little lights and feeling connected to everyone and everything. An embrace like his father's or ancestors' comforted him, allowing surrender. A bigger, intimidating warrior energy then pushed him faster, ripping him from the flow. It stopped, and he received the message to go back because there was no time to start over; they had done this to him. He remembered his wife and son and felt guided back, squeezed into his body. After waking, Brophy gained insight that all experiences teach without good or bad. He learned to control thoughts and emotions, especially fear, to shape reality. He now emphasizes helping others, meditation, and positive energy for healing, believing mind guides the body and interconnectedness unites all.

This NDE lacks any veridical perception claims, such as observations of medical staff, conversations, or events from an out-of-body perspective. The experiencer describes only subjective spiritual sensations (light, river, embrace), with no specific, verifiable physical details reported or confirmed. Medical severity is the sole strong element, but absence of perceptual claims limits evidential value.
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.
