NDE:I Met My God And I'll Never Be The Same: Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a successful businessperson and entrepreneur struggling with alcohol addiction. In 1999, during treatment in Madison, Wisconsin, he had a seizure eight days into the program while sleeping. This caused his near-death experience. He left his body and watched from above as he lay on the floor with paramedics working and three friends nearby. He felt no emotional attachment to the scene. He moved through the wall into a new dimension where he sensed a powerful divine presence of God. He had no body but kept his consciousness and reasoning. Time did not exist, and he felt total comfort and awe. God showed him a horrible feeling for those who reject him. As he moved toward a light, God asked telepathically if anything was worth returning for. He thought of his wife Nancy and the love he felt for her, which matched God's love. He then reversed and returned to his body, feeling chest compressions as he woke in the hospital. After the event, he confirmed details with friends and realized it was real, not a dream. Years later, a vision of light deepened his understanding. He now values loving and helping others, practices true humility, ignores earthly things, and works to correct past wrongs with good deeds in God's eyes. He relives the experience often.

The NDE features an OBE with some verification of observed details like friends' positions during a seizure-induced unconsciousness, but lacks high specificity, unpredictability, and strong temporal precedence. Limited veridical elements are present but diluted by vague descriptions and post-event reporting.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Was this Evidence Strength score useful?
Was this Experience Depth score useful?
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
Was this Life Impact score useful?
