Jogging in Turkey Led to My Most Spiritual Experience Ever
What Researchers Found
The Story
The experiencer was a 59-year-old man who suffered a heart attack while on vacation in Turkey. He felt a pop in his chest and called for an ambulance. After enduring severe pain, he lost consciousness. During the NDE, he felt himself in a dark dimension, detached from his body, and experienced a sense of perfection and purity. He encountered a divine presence and felt no fear. He then chose to return to his body, thinking of his children. After waking up in the hospital, he felt great and initially doubted the experience. He later learned he had been flatlined for three minutes. The NDE transformed his beliefs, leading him to feel that God loves everyone and that heaven is open to all, emphasizing the importance of peace and connection among people.
“Automatically. And this is the knowledge I come back with. The heaven is open to all this. And God doesn't want you killing people in his name. And don't be mentioning hell. And don't be mentioning the devil because it does not exist.”
