The Story

ste meditation very_positive Major Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The person was a physicist who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) during deep meditation. They began by feeling detached from their body and then encountered a bright light. They lost their sense of self and experienced a state of pure being and clarity. This lasted for about half an hour. After the NDE, they felt a deep sense of peace and non-identification for three weeks. They became more open-minded about consciousness and reality, shifting from a materialist viewpoint to understanding that consciousness is immortal. This transformation led them to pursue meditation and explore the nature of reality, ultimately changing their perspective on life and their purpose.
