LUTHERAN Priest DIES in Church; DOES NOT See JESUS! Who He Met WILL SHOCK YOU! (NDE) David Maginley
What Researchers Found
The Story
David was a 17-year-old student minister on internship when his recurring paraganglioma tumor caused him to collapse during a sermon in a hospital chapel. He passed out and died for 15 minutes with no heartbeat or breathing. During the NDE, David found himself in a different realm on a grassy hill with a tree at the top. He felt one with everything, aware and complete, infused with love. He met a masculine entity that embodied love, power, and wisdom. They walked and talked. David felt at home and wanted to reach the tree, but the entity said he had important work to do and must return. The entity assured him they would be with him always. David returned to his body. After the NDE, David grieved and felt homesick but renewed his faith as participation in divine consciousness. He developed energy sensitivity, trained in therapeutic touch, and became a Lutheran minister and hospital chaplain. He now helps cancer patients use suffering for growth and transformation, emphasizing love and compassion.
“could feel the light flowing, and the light was infused with love, and it was flowing through me. I could feel the tree”
This NDE features clinical death confirmed by wife (no heartbeat/breathing for 15 minutes), but lacks any veridical perceptions due to no out-of-body experience or supernormal awareness of medical events. The only perceptual claims are vague reports of hearing resuscitation voices upon return, which are expected and accessible normally. No specific, verified, or unpredictable details are provided, and the account was not shared promptly.
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.
