The Story
David Paris, a school teacher and performer, had a near-death experience from severe COVID-19 in March 2020 in New York City. He collapsed at home, went to the hospital, and was intubated after his lungs filled with fluid. His heart stopped four times, and he was placed on an ECMO machine to support his heart and lungs. During the coma, David saw a Buddha-like figure in a theater who told him he was dying and pointed to an exit. He pleaded to live and received a message to fight harder than ever. He had visions of struggling in an ocean and a field to survive. Later, he dreamed of dancing with his ex-wife and felt reluctance to return. In another vision, he received a diamond symbolizing his lifelong search but was cut in half by an Indian spirit, representing the end of his ego, and saw multiverses. After waking, David overcame his fear of death through therapy. He healed from constant feelings of incompleteness and stopped tying self-worth to achievements. He wrote 24 books on social emotional learning, found peace in expression and community, and embraced spiritual connection.
