The Story

nde medical crisis mixed Major Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Maria José was a bank employee from Portugal. In 1995, she experienced a near-death experience (NDE) at home while feeling dizzy and weak. She left her body multiple times, first seeing herself from above in the kitchen with her daughter. She felt pulled upwards, saw Earth from a distance, and was frightened about dying. During her experience, she encountered a bright light and felt a sense of connection but was anxious about leaving her daughter. After returning to her body, she experienced a vegetative state in the hospital. Following the NDE, she felt transformed, questioning the nature of reality and the appearance of people around her, which she found disturbing. This experience led her to a deeper understanding of life and existence.

and ... suddenly ... I was flying ... and I was transported ... to a light ... a light ... a light ... but the light did not hurt my eyes ...
