Ken Root: Remember your NDE!
What Researchers Found
The Story
Ken Root was a 17-year-old who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) during a rollover car accident in Brazil. He felt an irrational fear before getting into the car, which he later understood as a warning. During the accident, he left his body, felt a sense of love and safety, and observed the crash from outside his car. He experienced time slowing down and communicated with a guiding presence. After the accident, he found himself unharmed while his friends were injured. This experience changed his perception of life and death. Years later, he had a second experience during a motorcycle accident, which reinforced his understanding of these events. He learned to pay attention to intuitive feelings and the significance of his NDEs.
