The Story

Josas Abriel, a PhD student, experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after taking a bottle of pills at age 15. During the NDE, he left his body and saw a beautiful white room where he felt the presence of Jesus. He experienced overwhelming love and was told that hell is not real. He then entered a void-like space and learned that he had volunteered to come to Earth. He saw his soul and understood his purpose. After the experience, he returned to his body, healed from his pain, and gained a new perspective on life. Josas now feels a sense of purpose and emphasizes that everyone is loved, regardless of their identity.
