I Died And Explored Who We Were In A Past Life & Future Places: A Boy's Near Death Experience [NDE]
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jacob Cooper was a three-year-old boy in September 1993. He suffered from whooping cough and suffocated at a playground while climbing a ladder to a slide. During the NDE, Jacob left his body and watched it from outside. He felt his brain snap from lack of oxygen, then raced through a tunnel into a bright light of timeless euphoria. He saw an immaculate palace with an angelic choir and felt enveloped in unconditional love and the consciousness of Christ. He observed his spirit guides helping his body down the slide and people surrounding his body, seeing their true souls. A sea of angels hovered above, and he met his soul family. They asked if he would stay or return; he chose to return after seeing his future impact. After the NDE, Jacob woke in a hospital feeling anger from trauma. He processed the experience over decades, became a therapist, wrote books, and gained a new purpose to share meaning, emphasize choice, and connect with others as eternal beings.

This NDE features severe oxygen deprivation and an out-of-body view of the experiencer's own body at the collapse site, providing some evidential foundation. However, it lacks any specific, verifiable, or unpredictable perceptual details about the physical scene, with all observations being vague and spiritual in nature, and no verification attempts or prior reporting mentioned.
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.
