A woman who was pronounced ‘clinically dead’ has described the bizarre and beautiful void she experienced that far exceeded the limitations of life here on Earth.
On May 6, 2001, Dr Linda Kramer went to the toilet in the early hours of the day feeling like she was drifting off to sleep, but she ended up having a medical emergency.
She was even pronounced medically dead for 15 minutes when medics got access to her. While being treated by paramedics, she seemed to be having an outer-body experience that she later described as visiting heaven itself.
According to Dr. Kramer, it was a world where time didn’t behave the same as it does down here on Earth. She said she would estimate the passage of time depending on how far she had travelled through this new world she now found herself in.
She added that she could walk three-to-six miles per hour in real life, using this metric to chronicle time as she moved around heaven.
She said: “That’s when I found myself standing in what I termed the the field of flowers. I was observing the mountain range 30,000 times huger than Mount Everest.
“There’s a huge mountain range over in the back of wherever I was. I could see buildings with skyscrapers. Dubai are like little miniature huts in comparison. I saw lakes, I could see everything in a panoramic view.”
“So I’m there interacting with people, talking to people, becoming them.”
If she wanted to be somewhere, she thought about being there and felt instantly transported to that place, able to appear atop mountains and other locations seemingly at will. Others who have been clinically dead for a period of time and come back claim to have seen visions of the afterlife, with one woman writing out the message ‘it’s real’ and pointing up towards heaven.
Another man says he met the devil after being stabbed in the heart before being dragged out of hell by an angel after praying for the first time in his life while doctors fought to save him on the operating table.
However, a scientist has said that life after death just isn’t possible, as consciousness persisting after death is pretty much impossible, meaning that once you’re gone for good, that really is the end.
