A user on Reddit by the name of ‘Bovinerifle’ revealed what he saw during his experience after he technically died for a few moments following an accident.
Bovinerifle wrote the accident resulted in him “being transported to hospital in an ambulance in a critical condition”.
He wrote: “I was dying.”
And the Reddit user revealed that during his NDE he met spiritual “entities” he went onto encounter decades later when taking hallucinogenic drugs.
Bovinerifle said the hallucinogenic drug DMT gave him the same experience as his NDE.
He believes this is evidence that psychedelic substances opens doors to the other side.
During his experience, Bovinerifle recalls: “There was just dark for a while I remember, and then it just transformed into a stunning forest, full of ferns and big giant sequoia pines. I wasn’t aware of my body anymore, [the forest] was welcoming and positive.
“A light came down it also brought the most intense feeling of unconditional love and understanding.”
During this time, he spoke to a being – which he describes as an “entity” – “in the light” which gave him “answers”, although he does not specify what he was enlightened about.
Following his encounter with the spirit in his NDE, he said: “I had no doubt from that day on there was more after life.”
Fast forward 30 years to modern day, and the Reddit user took the hallucinogenic drug DMT for the first time.
DMT has been labelled as ‘the spiritual molecule’ as users often feel a euphoric state and often claim they have gained access to another dimension.
Its effects are similar to LSD, but more intense and DMT wares off quicker.
During Bovinerifle’s ‘trip’ on DMT, he believes he met the “entity” that was present during his NDE and was once again “overcome with emotions of happiness and joy”.
He adds: “[The spirit] presented itself like a beautiful translucent shape filled with a living purple … inside.
“When it did appear, I had the realisation I’d known this entity for eternity.
“It was the same feeling of unconditional love and happiness from the first experience, without a doubt.
“When we communicated it said it was the same thing as when I was 18.
“I accepted what I was being told, then I saw the same forest again in my head.
“When the effects [of DMT] had worn off there was the inner peace again, worry has gone it’s like a refresh. It gave guidance.”
