Gary Wimmer: Some NDEs are Intended
What Researchers Found
The Story
Gary Whmer was a musician who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) in 1977 after being hit by a car. Before the accident, he felt an increase in his psychic abilities. During the NDE, he left his body, saw the accident from above, and expanded his consciousness to encompass the universe. He felt a deep connection with the infinite mind of God and experienced pure love. After the NDE, he returned to life without physical injuries and gained a new understanding of life and death. He developed his psychic abilities further and learned to read signs in everyday life, leading to a new purpose in his work and writing about his experiences.

Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
