I’ve actually been through this. I was 15 years old and tripped in a river crossing and was dragged over a waterfall. I don’t think I was under long, but it seemed like hours.

You must understand that I was not very aware of others before this, as family trauma constantly consumed my brain. This changed all of that. The flashbacks (for this post) were in short video-like moments. Each one was when I was doing what I had been told to do, but the message was that it was wrong. This was a huge message! Then I went in to other things that aren’t relevant to this post. I was told I hadn’t done what I said I’d do and suddenly, I had amazing strength and surfaced from underneath the water.

After that experience, I was significantly different. I questioned everything, I was more compassionate, had more empathy, became involved in world peace and against authoritarianism. I was more grounded and able to go into a healing profession. It changed my life.

Actually it may be easy to determine what happens. Youtube is filled with thousands of individuals who died, moved immediately into a spiritual realm where they were enveloped in light and love more vivid than anything they experienced on earth. Most consider themselves to be in the edges of heaven where they often see angels, loved ones, and friends who have gone earlier, and welcome them home with open arms.

The many accounts are each a little bit different, but many of the details seem to be near universally experienced. Most see themselves leave their body, hover above it, watching what's happening below, especially in hospital settings, as resuscitation efforts happen. Some of them even see what's happening in other areas in the hospital and elsewhere, and later, after they return, accurately describe what they saw. Before they come back, many of them see themselves going thru a dark tunnel at breakneck speed toward a pinpoint of light. It gets bigger and bigger and eventually they enter there and see indescribable things, because they don't have the words to express it. The brightness, the vivid colors, the rich vegetation more real than they have ever seen. Their testimonies of what they saw are from those who aren't allowed to stay because they have unfinished work left, and have to come back.

Of course, those are testimonies of the ones who return, since it's impossible to know what happens to the ones who don't come back.

Virtually none of them fear death after that, because being there was such a pleasant experience, pain free and enveloped in a feeling of being loved like never before.

Here is a man who has studied thousands of these phenomena for 30 years and has put together videos of 8 of them whom he personally interviewed. These are substantial, professional people such as doctors and scientists who firmly believe their experience was real, each lasting a about 45 minutes.
