Near-death and out-of-body experiences
A panoramic review of one's entire life, often experienced from both the experiencer's perspective and the perspective of everyone they've affected. This is one of the most transformative elements of NDEs.
This is about my wife, Vera Gonzalez, who passed on May 7th, 2016, and the attending physician assistant/NP-C and I witnessed a light orb leave her body within minutes of dying. A concentrated white orb-light came out of her chest through the sternum...
My search for love and acceptance in religion frustrated me in a way that is difficult to describe, since there was a great inconsistency and lack of integrity between the message of love that Jesus had left as a legacy to humanity and its totally un...
At the time of my experience, I was a workaholic. On top of my regular 40 hours a week of work, I was developing a forensic project along with the government to find missing (dead) people in my country. This took another 20 to 30 hours of my week. I ...
I went into this psychedelic journey as I had the many other journeys I always have; with a sense of incredible responsibility, respect, intention and oversight. I started using mushrooms and MDMA as a medicinal tool for my CPTSD a few years prior to...
We had arrived in Key West with our two best friends for our annual trip to south Florida. This trip included visiting Fort Lauderdale for about eight or nine days, with four days in Key West. We always had a blast. We drove from their condominium (c...
The morning of January 15, 1987, my partner was up early as usual and soon after leaving, he burst back into our Lilliputian room, manic with excitement. The news was that we were flying! He ordered me to get up and get dressed, but I was desperately...
It was April, 1989 and I was 9 years old. I was riding my bicycle in Texas and in my grandparent's neighborhood. I and a neighborhood child, who was one year older than me, built a ramp to jump our bikes toward the direction of the street. As I was c...
Six months before my NDE, I had an incredibly, peculiar dream with elements of deeply religious symbology. The contents of the dream struck me as odd; especially considering at the time I was a devout atheist, and grew up with no religious affiliatio...
I’m really trying to understand what happened to me because I know I didn’t die. I essentially had no heartbeat for less than a second because of a drug I was given to reset a heart arrhythmia. Prior to this experience, I had no frame of reference fo...
Prior to the experience: I had ordered a small, hanging stained-glass window with a wisdom quotation on it for my godchild. When it came, it was a pure white statuette of St. Francis Assisi. Puzzled with this, I phoned the company I bought it from an...
In early 2024, I scheduled a minimally invasive elective surgery to have a lipoma on my back removed. Being in good physical condition, I completed my pre-op screenings without issue. On the morning of my surgery, 5-16-2024, I met briefly with my ane...
We were at the table. Cards in hand, music low, laughter bubbling beneath the haze of a passing joint. It was just a normal night in a quiet house. There were no warnings. No signs. Then she walked in. Another joint entered the rotation and made i...
I've had two separate near-death experiences (NDEs) in my life, but I want to focus on my second experience for now. To provide some context, I grew up in a poor environment with my dad and stepmom, both of whom struggled with various mental health i...
Dying felt like falling backwards into blackness; then it felt like I was sitting up out of my body, then standing facing away from myself. I don't remember if I glanced at the bed or not, but I don't think I felt the need to. I remember thinking...
Copyright Note: Please read and enjoy this experience, as it is a gift from the heart. However, please do not copy and paste any part of this as the experiencer wants the entire story to be understood in its entirety rather than in small parts that ...
Many experiencers report encountering a luminous being radiating unconditional love and wisdom. This entity often communicates telepathically and may guide the experiencer through a life review.
Time during NDEs often behaves differently — moments can feel like eternities, years can pass in seconds, or time may cease to exist entirely. Many experiencers describe a realm where past, present, and future exist simultaneously.
Some experiencers report receiving instant understanding of universal truths — the nature of reality, the purpose of life, the interconnectedness of all things. This 'download' of knowledge often fades upon return.
