Through the Light: A Near-Death Experience

He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light. Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Because of his near-death experience, he was able to bring back scientific discoveries. Mr. The road to death In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. So I determined that this was really just between me and God. On the other hand, as a self-employed stained-glass artist at the time, I had no medical insurance whatsoever.
