DEAD Man made choice to RETURN! What Happened Next Changed Him Forever. Near Death NDE | Bob Bloom
What Researchers Found
The Story
Bob Bloom was a Marine just shy of his 20th birthday. After brutal training, he went home feeling terrible and lay down to sleep. He fell through the mattress and soared through a tunnel-like space toward a huge golden orb of light. He realized he was out of his body. A presence appeared and said he was dying and must decide: enter the light and not return. He felt total peace and no pain. He tasted the meaning of his life and found it unfinished. A voice like his own said he must return because much remained to accomplish. He stopped his momentum and snapped back into his body, waking upright in pain. He felt sad and angry at first. After the NDE, Bob knew he was a spiritual being in a human adventure. He lost fear of death and stopped considering suicide. He became determined to persist through hardships, which shaped his later spiritual growth and self-understanding.
