The Story

ndeaccidentpositiveSignificant Transformation⭐ 8/10 Intensity

The experiencer was a mechanic who had a near-death experience (NDE) after a logging truck fell on him during an accident. He felt his spirit leave his body and experienced peace while watching the scene from above. He saw a tunnel with a bright light, which he believed led to heaven. He was pulled back into his body multiple times, feeling intense pain each time. After the accident, he heard a calm voice telling him he would need to fight to live. After the NDE, he gained a new perspective on life and a sense of purpose, feeling less afraid of death.

knew that I knew that I knew heaven was on the end of the tunnel. Jesus was on
