Sleep Apnea Transported Him To Another Dimension Where He Learned Humanity's True Origin Story (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
AJ Par, a journalist and author, had a near-death-like experience in April 1991 caused by stopping breathing from asthma and sleep apnea. Over three nights, he woke in pitch-black darkness. On the third night, he felt a scary presence but heard a voice say, 'Surrender, all is one.' He relaxed as emptiness expanded beyond his body and everything. He then appeared in an infinite body of light like a star, seeing in all directions at once. He felt he was the light and empty space, one with the universe, in pure peace and bliss without thoughts. After waking, he felt ongoing oneness, touching the wall as both himself and the wall. This led him to research religions and mysticism for decades, interview NDE researchers and experiencers, write books on spiritual commonalities, and become a consciousness researcher focused on oneness and the illusion of death.
“light of all light Brahman they call God that the sunata they call it the natural”
This account describes a subjective mystical experience involving darkness, light, oneness, and a philosophical 'download' with no claims of perceiving external real-world events or details impossible to know normally. Lacks any veridical elements such as OBE observations, specific verifiable facts, or independent confirmations, rendering evidential strength minimal. The experience occurred during presumed sleep apnea at home without medical corroboration of clinical death or crisis.
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.
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.
