The Story

nde near drowning very_positive Major Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The person was a chief engineer on a research vessel when a violent storm caused a Zodiac to capsize, leading to drowning. During the NDE, they experienced peaceful darkness, saw millions of moving lights, and felt enveloped in love. They met fragments of light that welcomed them and reviewed their life with their soul family. The light then told them it was not their time and they had a purpose, prompting them to return. After the NDE, they felt a new sense of purpose and began to see auras and have intuitive insights. They struggled to integrate these changes but ultimately embraced their spiritual journey and sought to live authentically.
