A MAN who technically died claimed to have been touched by God in the afterlife where he felt at one with the fabric of the universe.
A man, who gives his name as James, was undergoing surgery due to a heart attack when complications during the operation saw him briefly die. While he temporarily lost his life, James believes he got a glimpse of the afterlife. He claimed to have felt a touch from God and believes he was at one with the Universe.
Writing on the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, James said: “I was in a total black, lightless, and noiseless void. Somehow, I was given a choice.
“I don’t know who or what gave me the choice, it was more like I just knew it to be a choice. If I chose to go to the right, I knew there was peace and serenity. I could feel it.
“On the left was my life, which was like a road of broken glass. I thought of my wife and made the decision that I wasn’t ready to go to the right yet.
“As soon as I thought of my family, I felt a physical jolt, that was a very physical sensation. It was much different than the experience so far.

“The next part is hard to describe, but I’ll do my best to convey what I experienced. The jolt, I instantly knew, was the touch of God.
“In that moment, I felt a connection to everything that ever did or ever would exist. It was like seeing the fabric of space and reality. It was like seeing all of creation and feeling unity with it.
“The experience was as real as the scar running down my chest. I FELT the touch of God, but it wasn’t anything like any religions seem to profess.
“It was more like joining with the fabric of creation, absolutely everything, and feeling a perfect unity with existence. It was much deeper than the idea of someone sitting on a cloud and judging people over their actions.”

Some researchers, however, have said these visions are a normal phenomena and not necessarily a sign of an afterlife.
Dr Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone School of Medicine in New York City, told an Oz Talk: “People describe a sensation of a bright, warm, welcoming light that draws people towards it.
“They describe a sensation of experiencing their deceased relatives, almost as if they have come to welcome them.
“They often say that they didn’t want to come back in many cases, it is so comfortable and it is like a magnet that draws them that they don’t want to come back.

“A lot of people describe a sensation of separating from themselves and watching doctors and nurses working on them.”
Dr Parnia said there are scientific explanations for the reaction, and says seeing people is not evidence of the afterlife, but more likely the brain just scanning itself as a survival technique.
He said thanks to modern technology and science “death does not have to be limited to philosophy and religion, but it can be explored through science”.
He added: “They can hear things and record all conversations that are going on around them.”
