Teacher Drowns & Meets the Creator of the Universe (NDE)

The Story
Donna was a college professor with master's degrees in physical education and Oriental medicine. In 1998, while riding an inflatable lake toy towed by a boat in the Adirondacks, the tow rope wrapped around her leg. The boat accelerated, dragging her underwater and nearly drowning her as she swallowed water. During the NDE, Donna separated from her body and passed through a thin veil into eternity. Her cells vibrated happily. She encountered the Creator, a colorful electric being, and communicated telepathically. She learned God knows everything, experienced pure love and bliss, and received her true name. God showed her grains of sand on a New Zealand beach. She learned the importance of choice in every moment. When asked what she wanted, she surrendered the decision to God and heard 'Good answer' before snapping back into her body. After the NDE, Donna recovered from severe leg injuries and nerve pain. Her belief system changed radically. She became a humanitarian, aiding in places like Chiapas, Croatia, and China. She pursued poetry, writing, podcasting, and metal smithing, emphasizing living fully in the present and awareness of choices.

This NDE involves a severe drowning with unconsciousness, but lacks any veridical perception claims, such as impossible observations of the rescue or medical procedures; the experience is purely internal/spiritual with no corroborated external details.
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.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
