This experincer nearly died from septic shock on October 10, 2023, after a kidney stone caused a severe infection. Placed on a ventilator with multiple organ failure, he was unconscious for days. During that time, he experienced total darkness, fear, and confusion—unsure if he was alive or dead. In the darkness, he cried out to God and saw a light that grew into a peaceful presence filled with overwhelming love. He felt drawn into it, washed free of pain and fear, and filled with deep peace and clarity. Memories of his mother, a kind man from his childhood, and a past relationship reminded him how powerful love could have been. The presence stayed with him even as he woke, hearing his daughter’s voice and seeing light return. After the ventilator was removed, he began to understand what had happened. Deeply changed, he came to believe that love wasn’t just from God—it is God. Though still healing, he now feels spiritually transformed, sensing love all around him and within him, even as he adjusts to life again.
