NDE: “Am I DEAD?” 45-minutes of Death, Afterlife & My Life Review with Robert Bare
What Researchers Found
The Story
Robert Bear was a retired California Highway Patrolman. In 2009, he suffered a massive heart attack while boarding a plane in Arizona and was deceased for about 45 minutes. During the NDE, he gravitated into a beautiful light and saw colors that do not exist on Earth. He met a higher power who asked what good he had done in life. A life review began, showing events from conception to his death. He relived moments, felt his own emotions and those of others he affected, including regrets and positive impacts. He saw his deceased dog Scooter nearby. He returned to his body. He died again for 10 minutes, hovered over his body, saw the flatline, and watched staff search his belongings for ID. After the NDE, Robert changed his life. He co-founded Spiritual Awakenings International, helps homeless people and veterans, speaks freely about his experience, and lives each day with gratitude and a focus on doing good.
