The Story

nde accident positive Moderate Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Sérgio Bastos was a doctor who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) after being hit by a truck while driving home. During the NDE, he felt detached from his body and observed the accident in slow motion. He saw his body in the car and then felt himself rising into the air, experiencing a sense of clarity and vibrant colors. He had a thought about not returning, which triggered a force that pulled him back to his body. After waking up, he had a bruise but no serious injuries. Following the NDE, Sérgio felt a new awareness of life and a sense of purpose. He also began to recall premonitory dreams and felt a lasting impact from the experience.
