American physical therapist Karen Thomas shares her near-death experience from 1982: Needing back surgery but concerned it might end her career, Karen asked her church to pray it would be only a minor procedure. Her husband and children, ages nine and six, accompanied her on surgery day.

Under anesthesia and lying face-down, Karen suddenly found herself conscious near the ceiling of the operating room. She watched chaotic scenes below as nurses fetched blood and her body was flipped from stomach to back. Seeing her body pale and motionless, Karen realized she must be dead, but she felt alive and thought of her husband and children in the waiting room. Determined to tell them she was okay, she floated through the wall into the hallway and retraced the path of her stretcher.

A telepathic voice interrupted her journey: “Pay attention to this man.” She saw a man in a jacket and dress pants rushing toward the operating-room doors. Her nearsightedness vanished—she could see his face, eye color, and even hear his thoughts: “I need to get in there fast.”

Karen tried to keep going toward her family but instead was pulled upward— through the ceiling, the floors, and finally out of the hospital roof— rising as high as a small plane.

Her direction shifted laterally over Anchorage [Alaska] until she reached water’s edge, where a dark tunnel opened. Sucked in at tremendous speed, she saw a distant pinprick of light growing larger until she burst through into a bright, arid, rocky environment. She looked down and saw no legs or feet. A telepathic voice from her left said, “Follow me.” A man with dark tied-back hair, a simple toga and sandals climbed a slope. She knew he was not Lord Jesus (vegetarian) but followed anyway.

Suddenly the scenery transformed into a luminous, green meadow filled with indescribably brilliant flowers, trees, and a glowing river. On the far bank stood Karen’s deceased father, brother, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who she had never met but instantly recognized. Overjoyed, she longed to join them, but her guide said they must go elsewhere first. He led Karen along the river to a huge white building with Greek-style columns, stairs, and glowing light. Inside, she glimpsed endless shelves of books and scrolls— “the Book of Life,” her guide said— but they continued through to a smaller room.

There, around an oval table, familiar-feeling beings awaited her. Her guide said they would review her life. A holographic display arose from the table’s center, showing Karen’s entire life up to age 32. She not only saw but re-experienced events, simultaneously feeling others’ emotions during her interactions. She saw the ripple effects of her actions— small kindnesses amplifying positivity, and negative actions causing harm.

Karen was told she could choose to stay or return, but first they showed her possible future events. Some were certain, others dependent on free will. After a memory gap, she and her guide saw the hospital waiting room where her husband and children sat as the surgeon spoke to them. Off to the right she saw prayers— musical notes rising in a vertical score— coming from those she had asked to pray. Her young daughter’s plea for her mother’s life attached as the last note. Feeling her children’s need, Karen realized she could not let them grow up without her. She chose to return.

Her guide told her she would have proof of the experience but would forget the visions of her future. Instantly she awoke in the recovery room, filled with overwhelming peace and love unlike anything she’d felt before.

Twelve days later, while still hospitalized, a man visited her— the same one she had been told to “pay attention” to. He explained he had been called “stat” from his office to save a bleeding patient. Recognizing his eyes and hair confirmed for Karen that her out-of-body experience was real (The Other Side NDE)
