Annamarie's NDE: Near Death Experience Podcast
What Researchers Found
The Story
Anne-Marie was a 15-year-old girl in the summer of 1971. She experienced a near-death event when lightning struck her while she played in the rain with her family. During the NDE, Anne-Marie entered a void and watched a colorful filmstrip of past events where she had hurt others' feelings. She felt no judgment but understood the impact on people. Next, she sensed Jesus's presence in a cloudy void and felt overwhelming love, peace, and acceptance. She gained knowledge of the universe, had all questions answered, and communicated without words. Jesus told her 'It's all' and that suicide was not her choice. Time did not exist. She then viewed her body from above, heard a rescuer mention possible brain damage after six minutes of CPR, and felt like an observer. Given a choice, she wanted to stay but saw her mother's distress, felt her pain, and returned to her body. After the NDE, Anne-Marie suppressed the memory for years until a conference by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross unlocked it, bringing liberation. She felt anger toward God, avoided organized religion, and explored New Age spirituality, which left her empty. Later, she turned to the Bible, felt spiritually renewed, and now reads it daily. She grows closer to God, seeks his guidance, and feels she is fulfilling her purpose with peace and contentment.
