It Happened To Everyone But People Don't Remember - Being God
What Researchers Found
The Story
Mellen-Thomas Benedict had a near-death experience from brain cancer. Doctors gave him six months to live, but he died in his bed after four months. He left his body and tried to wake his caretaker, but his hands passed through her. He watched rainbow energy waves leave his body as it died. Darkness came, and a life review played his life in reverse from death to birth, showing why he acted as he did and the love he missed. He fell into a hell state, surrounded by suffering souls. The light rescued him. He met Christ and saw figures like Buddha, Krishna, and Allah, learning all gods are real. He realized everything is God, with no evil in souls seen in a mandala of humanity. He entered a tunnel to a second light, the Big Bang, and the void, understanding creation brings experience to pure consciousness. After returning, Benedict lived with daily gratitude, feeling he won life's greatest prize, and embraced a positive view of the universe.

This NDE features a vague OBE claim of visiting the caretaker's room down the hall while dying, but lacks any specific, verifiable details, attempts at confirmation, or documented veridical perceptions. The experience is dominated by internal mystical elements like life review, visions of deities, and philosophical insights with no evidential weight for physical world perceptions. Primary limiting factors are absence of verification, specificity, and unpredictability in the single weak claim.
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.
