Jane Katra - The Amplitude of Illumination
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jane Kedra, a scientist from a non-spiritual family, had a near-death experience in 1974. The exact cause is not detailed, but it occurred suddenly. During the NDE, she experienced an immediate surge in her energy and vibrational level. She gained psychic abilities overnight, including the gift of seeing people's souls and heightened sensitivity to energies, though she received no clear guidance on using them. After the NDE, Jane became overwhelmed by her sensitivity. She could not judge people by their personalities or make practical decisions, only seeing their soul essence. Vibrations from everyday objects, like a basement furnace, disturbed her deeply. She moved back home with her parents and prayed for years for the intensity to subside, which it eventually did. This allowed her to pursue a PhD in Public Health, teach at the University of Oregon, and conduct 10 years of remote viewing research with Russell Targ. Later in life, she re-embraced her gifts, becoming a healer, psychic researcher, and speaker on consciousness evolution and after-death communications, fulfilling her soul contract to help others.

The transcript features a comatose patient's immediate report of encountering her deceased mother with specific conversational details, witnessed by Jane, indicating compromised brain function but no impossible physical sensory access or verified perceptions of the material world. Lacks veridical claims about inaccessible physical events, details, or independent corroboration, limiting evidential value for NDE veridical perception.
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.
