Person who suffered near-death experience shares what they saw after ‘walking into bright light’

Did they see the light?

'What happens after you die?'

A question we will never know the answer to until we actually die - or - in one person's case, nearly die.

Taking to Reddit, a user who claims to have suffered a near-death experience has shared what they saw after ‘walking into bright light’.

Normally they tell us not to look into the light. But this person decided to walk right into it.

On the opinion-based social media platform, the person was answering a viral Reddit question back in 2011, which read: "I've always been curious. Also, if anyone has any stories about how this changed their perception on religion, please share."

Out of the 3,575 comments, this guy went into detail about what they experienced.

"I know that this is going to be buried, but here goes: I kicked it, then came back," they wrote.

"The how does not matter, but what does is what I saw in the interim. As cliche as it may seem, I saw a brilliant light, and walked into it.

"Inside, I saw my childhood home and my recently departed grandmother.

"We talked a while and then she asked me a question that hit me like a ton of bricks: 'are you doing something that matters with your life?'.

"When I was resuscitated, I came back in an abject panic, but the most pressing thing that was in my mind was the realisation that if I had died at that moment, I would have left the world worse off for having me in it.

"Back then I was a pretty s**tty person to a lot of people and caused much more harm than good.

"After this, I decided to change who I was and make life a little kinder.

"I now work as counsellor working with traumatised children who have experienced abuse, and I have never been happier.

"I guess I just needed to die to be reborn."


As deep as that sounds, the person still remains an atheist.

"I had a powerful experience and can't really explain it, but if I focused on that, I would be wasting my time on daydreams instead of doing what matters: trying to leave the world a little better than when I found it," they explained.

Meanwhile, the user who asked the question said in an update: "So, the general consensus is that it is extremely similar to going under anesthesia.

"You basically blink and you're back to life, and that 'blink' consists of a deep lack of consciousness. S**t."

That's one way to look at it.
