There IS An Afterlife And It Radiates Love And Peace - Near Death Experience (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Joshua Dean was a 16-year-old boy in Southern Ohio. He had a near-death experience after being hit by a car while waving to friends on a dirt road. The preacher's vehicle struck him, and he punched the hood, rolled over it, hit the windshield, and fell 20 feet, fracturing his skull in three places. He stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. During the experience, Joshua went through a tunnel to a dark, immaterial space like outer space. He met three flickering, color-changing gaseous beings who were spirits. He felt at home in heaven, surrounded by love and serenity. They communicated telepathically. He asked to stay, but they said no because he had work to do and needed to teach his mom something. He argued but returned. After the NDE, Joshua was in a coma for three days. He woke up angry and tried to leave the hospital to go back. He suffered brain damage that affected counting, speaking, and walking for years. He explored various spiritual beliefs, developed energy healing and precognitive abilities, and embraced a purpose to share about the afterlife and love as the enduring force.
“home I I knew that I went home to heaven and so I was presented to these three”
This NDE features a severe medical crisis with no heartbeat and a three-day coma, providing strong evidence of compromised brain function. However, it lacks any veridical perception claims, containing only vague, subjective descriptions of a tunnel, non-physical space, and gaseous beings without specific, verifiable earthly details, attempts at verification, or timely reporting.
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.
