There are more people who have experienced near-death experiences than you think …
Jill had an accident one day. The car with such force crashed into the bicycle on which the girl was riding, that she was thrown aside, and from the blow to her head, Jill lost consciousness. But this was not an ordinary case. Recovering herself, the girl told what she had experienced in an unconscious state.
“I was riding a bicycle, and suddenly a car crashed into me from the side. I was thrown three meters away. I smashed my head on the right side and realized that I was dying. But it was not scary, there was only some unusually calm and peaceful state …"
“Suddenly I was floating in the air. Below I saw my gnarled body lying on the ground. There was no pain …"
“When, bowing my head, I looked at the crowd surrounding the weakened body, I clearly heard their conversations. At the same time, I continued to plunge into feelings of warmth, peace and serenity."
"I saw how the ambulance doctors put the body on a stretcher … Suddenly I was seized by some incomprehensible, dark sensation, and was thrown back into the body …"
Promotional video:
“I remember that it was necessary to leave anger and indignation … Suddenly, I found myself back in a body that was writhed in pain and moaning painfully, and was so shocked! It is impossible to describe in words everything that I experienced. Of course, this can confuse people. Whoever I told them, they would think that I'm crazy or all of this is due to brain damage."
Jill's and others' experiences overlap in many ways. We can say that these people looked “in the face of death,” and then returned to earth.
Although the academic community has conducted extensive research, it is still unclear why a near-death experience occurs. But this experience was experienced by people of all ages, religions and peoples.
A Gallup poll found that around 8 million adults in the United States have experienced near-death experiences. Another study found that 38 to 50% of patients who survived clinical death experienced this.
10 features of the near-death experience
1. Out-of-Body Experience
This is the most common occurrence. As Jill said, the first thing a person feels after the soul leaves the body is that there is no pain.
One patient said: “After the accident, I felt a lot of pain. Then, when he left that time, everything calmed down, there was no suffering and torment."
And he continued: "I was lying on the operating table, and then somehow I took off and saw the nurse and the doctor." He also spoke in detail about what they talked about and what the doctors did.
2. Crossing through a dark tunnel or dark space
Patients said that they not only passed through a tunnel or some kind of darkness, but also heard loud noise or music.
Some have described the noise as "hiss" or "rumbling", and sounds like they have never heard before. Some patients described the music as “temple bells,” very quiet and sacred.
3. Light
Often, when patients heard noise or music, they saw the light at the end of the tunnel at the same time.
One patient wrote: “It was as if I was enveloped in the darkness of black velvet, and then a sparkling golden light appeared at the edge of the darkness. I remember that I was not afraid, I felt comfortable and calm, as if I was where I needed to."
Different patients have described light in different ways, but usually associated it with calmness, love and serenity.
One person said: "I felt like I was in the arms of my mother."
4. Meeting with deceased relatives and friends
Most of those who have experienced near-death experiences, have met deceased relatives and friends, many said that they had "telepathic conversations" with them.
"I didn't see his lips move," they said, "but we talked."
Sometimes the conversations with the deceased were extremely surprising. For example, a seven-year-old child who was in critical condition said that he had seen "Uncle Harry."
The boy remembered how the man said that he was five generations older than him, and died in a fire. The boy's parents did not know about this tragedy that happened to their ancestor until one relative confirmed it.
Another example. The family was injured during the accident: the father died on the spot, the boy was taken unconscious to the pediatric ward, and the mother and brother were sent to the intensive care unit (ICU).
When the boy came to his senses, he said to the nurse: “I died, ascended to heaven, saw my father and brother. They said that I could not stay there and I returned."
The nurse knew that the boy's father had died, but she thought that the brother was still in the ICU. When she called there, it turned out that the boy's brother had died 15 minutes ago.
5. Understanding life
Some people, including atheists, said they saw gods from different religions. This characteristic of near-death experiences differs from culture to culture. Patients described God who was seen as Jesus, Buddha, or some other saint.
6. A look at a past life
Patients tell that they saw their life path like in a kaleidoscope. Suddenly, significant events in life began to flash, but not necessarily in chronological order.
7. Feeling of calmness, serenity, not the slightest pain
Patients experienced one, two, or all three of these sensations at the same time.
8. Understanding what will return to earth
Sometimes, as in the case of a boy who met a dead father and brother, deceased relatives and friends told the person that he should return. In other cases, it was said that his hour had not yet come.
Some people were aware of this. For example, patients recalled seeing a certain border, perhaps a river or a ridge, and instinctively knew that, having crossed this border, they would remain there forever.
9. Return to the body
Some patients mentioned returning to the world: they saw the body, knew that there would be painful sensations, and then entered the body again.
10. Sense of "clear understanding"
These patients usually said that they suddenly had a sense of "omniscience" and "oneness with the universe," an understanding of the true state of affairs, an understanding of love, and a vision of universal truth.
Mothers whose children were on the verge of death were told that "a 6-year-old child left and a 36-year-old adult returned."
Upon returning, not all patients remembered that they had “learned”, but after the experience they had experienced, they strive to gain a deeper understanding of the world around them and its spiritual nature.
