The Story
Libby was a 22-year-old atheist and materialist who struggled with addiction from a family of alcoholics. Her NDE happened at a nightclub when she snorted lidocaine, mistaking it for cocaine. This caused a grand mal seizure and cardiac arrest, stopping her heart for over three minutes while a bartender performed CPR. During the NDE, Libby felt tunnel vision and darkness as oxygen starved her brain. She shot upward, leaving her body with relief. She flew over the ocean, dove in, and reached a shore with a house on a mesa. She climbed past slimy rocks representing her flaws, sensing excited ancestors in the house. Pulled by her sternum, she flew toward the setting sun. A voice assured her it was real. She entered the sun's center, feeling overwhelming love from a parent-like figure holding her. Then, she was told she could not stay because she was not done. She fell back in rage and returned to her body, seeing the bartender. After the NDE, Libby initially denied it and continued her addictions. Paranormal events and a guiding voice led her to sobriety in 1995. She transformed into a spiritual believer, communicating with the dead, writing books on her experiences, and helping others with addiction and grief.

The NDE lacks any veridical perception claims of external events or details during the cardiac arrest; the experience is entirely subjective, visionary, and internal (e.g., ocean, mesa, light, love). No impossible observations, verifiable specifics, or corroborations are reported from the NDE itself, despite severe medical crisis.
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.
