Jayne Smith's Profound NDE - Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
A 23-year-old woman had a near-death experience during childbirth due to cardiac arrest. She felt her soul rise from her chest through her head with a whoosh sound. She entered a dark space, then a gray mist where she realized she had died but was still alive and gave thanks. The mist became a brilliant white light full of love that enveloped her. She received knowledge that she is an immortal, eternal being and that the world follows a perfect plan. The intensity lessened, and she stood in a beautiful green meadow. She met a wise man in a purple robe who confirmed her death but said she must return. He explained there are no sins, only the heart matters, and it is love. She asked about creation's purpose and was told but could not retain that answer. She returned hearing a bang and a click. After waking, she kept the experience secret for 23 years until reading Raymond Moody's book, which validated her. She then decided to share her story, supported by her husband.

No veridical perception claims of real-world events during unconsciousness; the experience is entirely subjective and spiritual with no observations of medical procedures, staff actions, or impossible-to-know details from an out-of-body perspective. Despite a severe medical crisis involving apparent cardiac arrest requiring external heart massage, all perceptions upon return are explainable by normal senses.
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.
