A PERSON who temporarily died believes she met God, who kept referring to the woman as “Jesus Christ”.
Following a severe asthma attack in her youth, a person named Lonnie believes she met God in her brush with death. In the tunnel where she supposedly met God, the almighty figure kept referring to her as Jesus Christ.
When she questioned God as to why he was calling her that, she was apparently informed that all would become clear in due course.
Lonnie made the extraordinary claims on the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, where she wrote: “I was walking in a dark tunnel. I could see light at the other end of the tunnel.
“A man walked towards me, put his hand on my head and told me that I had to turn back because it wasn’t my time.
“When the man was touching my head. I had to look down, because the light over his head was the same bright light.
“A woman in the hospital told me God spoke to me. I kept asking why God was calling me Jesus, because my name wasn’t Jesus.
“God said I wouldn’t understand until it was time.”
Some researchers, however, have said these visions are a normal phenomenon 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.”
