The Story

nde unknown very_positive Significant Transformation 8/10 Intensity

The experiencer was a young man who had a near-death experience (NDE) due to inhaling gas from a leak in his home. He fell face-first to the ground and felt no pain. He then left his body and saw a bright, euphoric light. A being in the light told him it was safe to come closer. However, when his father entered the room, he felt a strong desire to return and asked to go back. After the NDE, he struggled with his beliefs and lived recklessly for years. Eventually, he found a new purpose in life, became sober, and embraced his spiritual gifts, leading to a career in metaphysics and mediumship.
