LIFE does exist after death, a Brazilian man has announced in a highly-detailed narrative he claims occurred during the course of a three-day coma.
A man, identified only as Joon O in bid to retain his anonymity, has related an extraordinary account of what he believes took place following a near-fatal car accident. Reported the dramatic events that brought about the religious experience to the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) blog.
He said in his story, translated from Portuguese and uploaded to the blog this week: “I was heading home and giving a ride to two employees and one of their wives in the new VW Beetle I had just bought.
“All of a sudden, a motorcycle and a new VW Brasilia were trying to go across, cutting me off from the right. They were having a street race.
“When they hit the right side of the front of my car, my car spun horizontally, diagonally crossing the very long intersection, and my car hit the curb.
"I was the driver and my body flew about 30 meters out of the right-side window.
“My older sister, Gemma, told me what had happened at the São Paulo medical hospital: The ambulance arrived at the scene of the accident and took me to the nearest hospital.

“She looked through all of the emergency care rooms but she was unable to locate me.
“But, in the middle of the hall where there was an elevator that went down to the morgue, she saw eight more bodies covered by white cloth on top of some stretchers.
“These bodies were waiting to go to the morgue for an expert examination.
"One of them had a lot of blood on the stretcher and a left foot exposed from under the cloth.
“The middle toes of my feet are raised very differently compared to the normal feet. 'That’s my brother, Joon!' yelled my sister to one of the officers. “The nurse in charge said that he had thought that I was dead because of all the blood on the stretcher. I was immediately taken to another hospital located at the other end of Paulista Avenue.
“The police called for an ambulance and my sister and I were escorted by a police siren. Three days in a coma or with memory loss.”
One of the reasons why Joon O thinks his faith helped his recovery is what happened while he was operated on.
He said: “The on-duty physician discovered in the X-ray a shape of a crucifix right in the middle of my spine.
“It was the crucifix pendant that my sister had given to me as a gift. Three X-rays were taken because it was really deep inside and it would require minor surgery to remove it. The doctor removed it and handed it to my sister.
“Very impressed, he said, 'This cross saved your brother’s life!' I was in a coma at that time; however, I was seeing something strange.”
Joon O then reveals the truly-bizarre encounter he made in the “another world”.
He said: “All of a sudden somebody yelled, 'I watched over him all the time! I just don’t know how this accident could have happened! It’s the truth, sir! I watched over him!'
"From the somewhat hoarse voice, I realised that it was the voice of my guardian angel.
“That’s just what I figured. He was behind the wall with someone who might have been his boss. 'Maybe he’s an archangel,' I thought to myself.
“All of a sudden, this supposed boss of my guardian angel came through the wall and appeared before me.
“I was lying face down, motionless, and I strained my neck to look up. He was tall and dressed in a white cassock that would change colour (light blue, soft brown, etc.).
“I enjoyed painting pictures, and I unintentionally yelled out, 'Aha! That means that white is the mother of all colours? That’s it! I’ve figured it out!'
“I tried to get a look at his face, but all I saw was a white plaque covering his face.”
"Only then did he first hear, then obey an order to “help a lot of people” and return to life."
Joon O added: “I woke up when someone called to me, 'Look! This is my daughter, Cristina!
“She just turned one year old!' When I came back into the world, my memory became very clear, and I recognised my older brother from Campinas.
“Later on, Gemma told me that during these three days (which I did not remember having been in a coma) I was interacting normally with my colleagues from Siemens, and I was teaching the work to my employees quite naturally.”
However, experts such as Dr Sam Parniaof New York University's Langone School of Medicine, believes there is a more prosaic explanation for apparent sensations of the afterlife.
She said: “When we die, that experience is not unpleasant for the vast majority of people.
“For those of us who die naturally, even if we were in pain before we die, the process of death becomes very comfortable, it is very blissful, peaceful.”
And she added, thanks to modern technology and science “death does not have to be limited to philosophy and religion, but it can be explored through science.”
Democrats everywhere see conting on is vote. How dare he not die?
Well i guess he gets the million the Bigelow guy offered in the thread yesterday
What million?
Whoa, I better see my lawyer. I didn’t know it’s possible to wake up from a coma! I wonder if he’s at his tennis lesson.

I think the privacy notice put him in the coma.
Is his name Bombastic Bushkin?
Theres no sickness in Heaven...
Waking up from a coma is common. I personally know one lady, with whom I was undergoing therapy at the hospital, who had been in a coma for three months and then “woke up”. When I asked her what it was like, it seems to me that she said it was like a very long deep sleep with no consciousness of the passage of time.
I’ve read much about NDEs (Near Death Experiences). I even had a close acquaintance who experienced one and I talked with him about it at length. The experience is profound and it usually changes people’s lives forever.
One only needs to spend a few minutes in the Bible to find and believe that there is life after death. People like the guy in this story have been there and returned to tell about it. Their stories are all similar.
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
Two brilliant authors wrote a book called the Fourth Turning that forecast our societal breakdown in 1997. Every 80 years or so (about a normal human) it happens. Depression & WWII, Civil War, Revolutionary War. All about 80 years apart. This was traced by the authors back over 500 years.
See this video interview on C-Span in 1997!!

Prophetic! A crystal ball that works.
I was in a coma for 3 weeks from an unintentional poisoning. A diocese priest even rushed to the hospital and preformed Last Rights for me. I don’t remember waking up, but I heard I was very angry and violent and had to be restrained to my bed. I don’t remember any of it, and don’t really even remember leaving the hospital. A strange experience in every way.
A masked Archangel? Covid-19 in heaven? 😀
Pinging the mostly moribund Vivisepulture ping list.
Since he was covered with a sheet waiting to be sent to the morgue,its almost vivisepulture and therefore enough to resurrect the ping list!
If you want off (or on) the very exclusive vivisepulture ping list, just PM me!
That was very compelling. I may buy the book.
