Near-Death Experiencer Barbara Harris Whitfield's Workshop at Findhorn
What Researchers Found
The Story
The speaker, a woman and former atheist, experienced a near-death event at age 32. The exact cause is not specified, but she was clinically out for 20 minutes. During the NDE, she underwent a life review of her entire 32 years. She saw her life through God's eyes and felt held by God's heart. She understood her childhood abuse and realized it explained her issues. She repeated 'no wonder' as insights came. The review felt like 32 years but lasted 20 minutes in real time. After the NDE, she lost her fear of death and gained a strong belief in the afterlife. Her self-esteem increased greatly. She felt special after meeting God and developed a new sense of purpose. She showed more compassion and love for others. She reduced concern for material things and focused on serving people. She became a researcher on NDEs at the University of Connecticut, taught classes, and wrote books on spiritual awakenings and recovery.

The transcript describes the speaker's personal NDE involving a life review experienced while unconscious for 20 minutes, but contains no claims of veridical perceptions of external events, specific details observed impossibly, or any verification attempts. All criteria except medical severity score minimally due to absence of relevant evidential claims.
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.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
