as a heart surgeon at the myo clinic for 30 years I saw cases every day that could have meant life or death I really have held hundreds of human hearts in my hands I've seen tens of thousands of people die and come back to life I've always looked at everything from a scientific point of view I should also say that I was a firm believer in no Gods when I was teaching I would tell my students that when the brain stops getting air any thoughts or feelings are just neurons firing for the last time I
was totally wrong I'm still a scientist though I still believe in facts and making sense of things what happened to me only proved that what scientists know now isn't all there is to know there is a lot more to the real world than what we can measure it was February 3rd and I was giving a talk about the newest techniques in heart Revival at a medical meeting in Phoenix I can't help but laugh at the irony I had just finished giving my talk when I felt a little pain in my chest as a heart surgeon
I knew right away what was going on I was having a major heart attack when I looked at my Apple watch my heart rate was through the roof the doctor sitting next to me Doctor James Chen and I talked James the anterior wall Mi is in progress I told him the official records from Mayo Clinic Phoenix say I was clinically dead for 17 minutes and 2 2 seconds there was no heartbeat and no brain activity they tried to fibrillation seven times the team later told me they were about to call it a night when my
heart started beating again what I went through in those minutes would take a lifetime to fully describe as soon as my heart stopped I felt like I was floating above my body I could see what was going on in the conference room I could see my co-workers working on me hear Dr Sarah Williams calling for epinephrine and see the cardiac monitor showing Ace's stole Flatline but then something changed the scene started to fade and I found myself moving through what I can only describe as a tunnel of light but that word doesn't do it justice
the light was alive conscious and loving the change was instantaneous one moment I was in unbearable pain and the next I was at peace this is where I met Jesus but let me explain how it happened when I came out of the tunnel I was in what seemed like a dimension of pure light but I could see everything clearly and my eyes didn't hurt from the brightness that's when I heard his voice calling my name Megan it came from everywhere and nowhere at the same time the moment I turned around I saw him and everything
I thought I knew about how Jesus looked was completely changed he spoke to me and this is where my scientific background really comes into play his voice was unlike any I'd ever heard it resonated not only in my ears but in every part of my being it wasn't particularly deep or high but it carried perfect Authority and perfect love at the same time he spoke and I understood everything in a way that went beyond language Megan you have looked for truth through science which is good he told me but now you will see greater truths
he said then he reached out and touched my forehead his hands I saw the scars from the crucifixion but they weren't gross or painful to look at they Shone with a kind of triumphant light like honor badges at that moment I had what I can only describe as full knowledge I saw the whole process of creation not just the Big Bang in all its Glory all the scientific discoveries I had ever learned about were connected to a bigger picture I saw that every heart I had ever worked on was designed with Divine intelligence but then
he showed me something even more amazing he took me through what looked like a window in time and let me see scenes from his life on Earth I saw him teach heal and interact with people the level of detail was amazing I could smell the dust in the air feel the heat of the Sun and hear the small differences in the Aramaic and Greek dialects being spoken what's so amazing is that I saw things that have never been written down in history I saw him getting ready to teach early in the morning I saw him
Comfort a child whose mother had died with such tenderness that it broke my heart I saw him in private with his disciples teaching them deeper truths about life but what struck me the most was how he dealt with people who were suffering I have spent my whole life trying to heal people but his healing went so much deeper than that when he touched someone you could see their whole being change because of love he even told me about his crucifixion which was probably the most profound thing he did he told me about it from his
point of view I know a lot about physical trauma but what I saw was beyond anything I could have imagined I saw how he took on not only physical pain but also the spiritual and emotional pain of all people but what's amazing is that even when he was in the most pain his face showed both pain and love his eyes never lost that amazing mix of authority and compassion even on the cross his main concern was for others every detail matters he showed me seven specific moments of his life that changed the way I understand
historical events first he showed me the crucifixion but from his point of view as a thoracic surgeon I immediately recognized medical details that aren't recorded in any historical accounts for example I saw how the nails went through the wrists instead of the Palms cutting the median nerves I also understood how the weight caused Progressive asphixiation but what was most amazing was being a part of his Consciousness during this event his body was in unbearable pain but his mind was focused on something much bigger I could feel how he was absorbing not only physical pain but
also the spiritual and emotional suffering of all people it was like watching a cosmic sponge soak up an ocean of Darkness first I saw him 12 years old having a private conversation with his mother Mary on their Rooftop in Nazareth they were speaking Aramaic which I somehow understood perfectly he was telling her how he was becoming more aware of how special he was and I could feel her amazement and worry as a mother the second time was early in his ministry before any Miracles were recorded he met a family whose young son was dying from
acute lymphoblastic leukemia instead of healing the boy right away he spent 3 days with the family teaching them about the deeper meaning of suffering and divine love when he finally healed the child it wasn't just a physical healing the whole family was changed the third time was especially powerful it was the night before he was crucified hours before Gethsemane he was alone on the Mount of Olives in complete communion with what he showed me was the whole of human history at the same time he showed me how his upcoming sacrifice would connect with every single
life but he didn't just show me historical events he also took me to see Heaven hell and meet God the Father to explain what I saw in Hell I've seen a lot of terrible physical pain but what I saw in Hell wasn't a place of active torture like some people say it is instead it was a state of being completely cut off from Divine love and truth I saw Souls who had built their own prisons by making decisions and holding beliefs that kept them from being in touch with God the suffering wasn't forced it was
the natural result of being cut off from the source of all good as a doctor I could see that their pain was self-perpetuating like when the body attacks itself with an autoimmune disease there were no clouds or Harps in heaven instead think of the deepest moment of understanding love and peace you've ever felt then multiply that by Infinity I realized that every scientific discovery I'd ever made was just a small glimpse of a bigger truth I realized that the physical laws we study are like Shadows cast by a deeper reality for example the math we
use to explain quantum mechanics is just an approximation of something much more fundamental Jesus led me into what I can only describe as the absolute Center of reality there was a presence that was both overwhelming and very familiar imagine if perfect Truth and Love could speak if infinite wisdom and perfect compassion could speak what amazed me the most was how this Supreme Being the source of all existence was focused on each Soul as if it were the only one in the world I felt that every prayer every tear and every celebration of Happiness was always
present to this Consciousness I also learned something that changed the way I think about science that what we call physical reality including time and space comes from this Divine consciousness in the same way that thoughts come from a mind many people think the most interesting part of my testimony is how I described how Jesus looked as a surgeon I'm trained to carefully observe and write down what I see what I saw was nothing like traditional artistic depictions but it was immediately clear that it was the real thing that those depictions are trying to capture he
stood in front of me and the first thing that struck me was his height he was was about or of average build but his presence filled the room his build was athletic but not imposing like someone who had worked as a carpenter and walked a lot during his ministry his skin was light olive like the skin of modern Middle Eastern people who spend time both inside and outside it had a luminous quality like it was lit from the inside but it wasn't pale or white like European artists have shown it was more like the color
of sun-warmed honey but alive and glowing his hair was perhaps the most striking difference from how people usually see him it wasn't the dark brown or black we see in paintings nor was it the pale blonde that European artists have shown you might ask what about his face well as someone who has studied human anatomy a lot I can tell you that his features were perfectly balanced in a way that defied genetic probability they fell in natural waves to just above his shoulders when the light moved through them and light was always moving through everything
in this realm you could see these amazing color changes from honey gold to deeper Amber they were perfectly groomed but still looked like they hadn't been cut by human hands his forehead was noble and proportionate with expressive eyebrows that weren't too thick or thin his nose was straight and well formed neither too big nor too small fitting his face perfectly ly but his eyes his eyes were the most amazing thing about him in all the years I've been a doctor I've never seen eyes that look like that they were this amazing color that seemed to
change between a warm Brown and a deep penetrating blue depending on how you looked at them the only thing that comes close is precious stones like Amber sometimes and Sapphire other times but that doesn't do them Justice they held so much wisdom and knowledge as well as such tender compassion that it made me fall to my knees his beard was full but perfectly groomed it was the same light brown color as his hair and it framed his face perfectly his lips were expressive and when he smiled it was like the whole universe lit up with
happiness because I've been a surgeon for decades I've learned to read people's faces but his had a depth I'd never seen in a person's face there was the perfect balance of authority and gentleness when he looked at you you felt like he knew everything about you every mistake every fear every Victory but there was no judgment only love and understanding his stance was Royal but not stiff respectful but friendly he moved with a Grace that seemed to go beyond the laws of physics every move he made was purposeful and beautiful but it felt completely natural
natural his simple but spotlessly clean clothes were a smooth robe made of a material I can't even describe it wasn't silk linen or any other fabric I know but it moved like living light the color was mostly white but not a harsh Hospital white it was more like the color of morning sunlight there were also parts that seemed to shift between deep blue and purple but these colors aren't found on Earth he looked into my eyes and said tell them that I am more real than their doubt more present than their fear and more loving
than their shame with that smile I understood everything why I became a surgeon why I lived the life I did and even why I had to have this heart attack he also taught me about time showing me that what we think of as linear time is actually part of a bigger reality he showed me that every prayer every tear and every Joy exists in what he called the eternal now he told me it wasn't my time yet saying you have been a Healer of hearts in the Physical Realm he then blessed me and I felt
myself being pulled back through the tunnel of light the next thing I knew I was gasping on the floor of the conference room surrounded by shocked co-workers Dr Chen was still there tears streaming down his face the cardiac monitor showed a perfect sinus rhythm which is better than my normal Baseline I've actually come out of retirement to start a research institute that studies near-death experiences from a scientific point of view we're using the newest neuroimaging technology and theories in quantum physics to better understand these experiences it's interesting that when we put together stories about Jesus
from people from different places times and cultures we find that they are surprisingly consistent in how they describe him this is especially true when it comes to the parts of his appearance that don't match how artists usually show him for example his light brown hair changing eye color and unique skin tone all show up over and over again in stories from people who have never met or shared their stories I used to be a skeptic so I understand and respect their doubt but I would ask them to think about this I took great pride in
being able to observe and write down carefully what I experienced the specifics about Jesus's appearance the quality of light and the nature of Consciousness beyond the body are not vague mystical descriptions they are precise observations from someone who was trained to notice details and stay objective the fact that these same specifics his light brown hair with golden highlights eyes that shift between brown and blue the quality of his skin tone his average height and the perfect proportions across cultures and times should interest any serious researcher nothing has changed and everything has changed after what I
went through I still look at life with the same critical mind at heart I'm still a surgeon that our physical world is only the surface of something much deeper I've started writing down every detail of my experience which I hope will help scientists understand ndes better I've also been working with artists who have had similar experiences to make more accurate pictures of Jesus's appearance based on what we've seen together but the biggest change is inside me if you've had a similar experience but have been afraid to talk about it know that you're not alone as
a doctor I can tell you that Consciousness transcending physical death is not only possible it's what I Now understand to be our Natural State and for those who haven't had such an experience the Jesus I met with his light brown hair his amazing eyes that changed between Amber and blue his perfect proportions and his overwhelming love is more real than anything in this physical world he knows every detail of your life every struggle and he loves you with a completeness that our minds can barely comprehend
