Professor Dies, Sees Astral World & Says Don't Freak Out! Powerful Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person was a retired teacher from Chicago. In 2018, he died painlessly during an argument with his wife at Rush Hospital while waiting for a colonoscopy. This caused a cardiac arrest. He left his body and watched his wife panic and the medical team use a defibrillator to revive him. His spiritual teacher appeared and guided him. They flew to the sun, where he saw nuclear explosions but felt no harm. Next, they entered the astral plane, a place of telepathy, wisdom, and love. There, he learned about a president who controls physical world destinies based on karma. They then went to the causal plane, where he felt oneness with everything and immense power. Finally, they reached a higher plane of self-realization and profound love. The teacher told him to return to fulfill his destiny. He came back to his body. After the NDE, he retired but works part-time at the I Seek Institute, sharing his spiritual experiences and teaching meditation.
The NDE involves clinical death via cardiac arrest with out-of-body observations of standard resuscitation procedures, providing moderate perceptual impossibility and specificity, but evidential value is undermined by complete absence of verification attempts, confirmed perceptions, unique unpredictable details, and timing of report.
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?
