Near-death and out-of-body experiences
One of the most iconic elements of near-death experiences — a dark tunnel or void with a brilliant light at the end. Experiencers often describe being drawn toward the light, feeling a sense of movement and purpose.
At the time of my experience, I had a very hard life with disease and I had a feeling of disorientation. I was religious, being Catholic, but found no happiness in this denomination. Additionally, my wife passed after long suffering with cancer. Nurs...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 was upstairs, and my brother pushed me from the second story of our house. The straight staircase turned 90 degrees to the main floor. I tumbled down and landed on my neck with my body on top. My mother heard the commotion and ran to the stairs. Wh...
While in the middle of an emergency c-section, I watched myself flatline as my pulse slowed. I heard my mother call out. The room got brighter. It was quiet, but I felt so much love surrounding me. I was standing in a 'room' but it was too bright to ...
My maternal grandfather was fighting in WWII. He was hit by a train and sustained a head injury. His doctors claimed this injury is what caused his brain tumor some 60 years later. It was an inoperable brain tumor, so he started radiation therapy. My...
I will describe my experience in four parts. Part 1 will explain my traumatic events from the perspective of the people who witnessed my death and rebirth. Part 2 will explain my personal experience while my energy departed and returned to Earth. Par...
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...
My experience was so vast that I cannot fit all the details here, so I will have to leave some parts out. For years, I suffered from an unspecified illness that made it difficult to breathe. I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for a...
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.
The most commonly reported element of NDEs — a profound, all-encompassing feeling of peace, calm, and well-being that surpasses anything experienced in ordinary life. Often described as being 'bathed in love.'
