A Trip Through the Light w/ Eric Peterson
What Researchers Found
The Story
Eric experienced his near-death event in 1989 after an emotional outburst yelling at God for 18 hours in his father's apartment, leaving him exhausted. He felt a hand shake his shoulder, saw himself engulfed in cleansing white fire, and was pulled out of his body. He traveled through a dark tunnel to a super bright white light where his body dissolved painlessly. He entered a misty, loving white realm with a warm breeze and wind chimes, feeling he had been there before. Spirits and animals whizzed by, and he saw robed beings working in harmony. He moved to a higher realm, met Jesus in a fiery embrace, and communicated telepathically. Jesus showed him his unforgiveness and sins, took him to space to see populated worlds, and introduced him to figures from various religions. He explored living planets and felt overwhelming love from beings. Jesus sent him back to Earth for important tasks. After the NDE, Eric became born again, more empathetic and service-oriented. He studies multiple religions, focuses on love, forgiveness, and helping others daily.
