NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE: NDE. Can you Survive Death? I lost my FEAR with Jose Hernandez
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jose Hernandez was an electrical engineer and atheist. He broke his ribs in a work accident while running electrical lines in South Florida. An allergic reaction to pain medication caused severe breathing problems, leading to hospital admission and cardiac arrest. During the NDE, Jose felt a feminine presence touch him, bringing peace and lifting him out of his body. He watched the medical team perform CPR from the room's corner and questioned his identity. A voice told him to say goodbye to his body like an old car. He reviewed positive life memories and felt love for his body. He passed through black spaces where negativity was stripped away, entering a vibrant ball of living colors that accepted him and gave painting instructions. He emerged into a beautiful natural landscape, experienced oneness with trees, breeze, rocks, and animals, and flew to a mountain. There, he reunited with his father, embraced him, understood his love, and forgave past hurts. His father insisted he return, promising to fetch him later. After the NDE, Jose became spiritual, lost his fear of death and vulnerability, divorced due to personality changes, and started painting to express oneness and creation. He now lives with greater appreciation for life and helps others through his art and messages.
The account describes an OBE during a code blue with CPR from a corner vantage point, indicating compromised brain function and impossible sensory access from the bed. However, perceptions are vague and expected (crash team doing CPR), with no specific details, verification attempts, or confirmed elements reported. The retrospective telling lacks timely pre-verification reporting, limiting evidential strength.
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.
