The Story

nde cardiac arrest very_positive Major Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The experiencer was a man who suffered a heart attack, which triggered his near-death experience (NDE). He floated above his body and observed medical staff trying to resuscitate him. He felt calm and realized he was dead. He experienced a black void that felt alive and loving, followed by a beautiful star-forming region in space. After the NDE, he felt transformed with a new sense of purpose. He no longer feared death and wanted to help others find hope. He recognized that his past anger and relationships were strained but aimed to share his insights to help others understand their own experiences.

“everything felt like love to me, but the spoke it spoke it it clarified it uh”
