I underwent a ketamine infusion by the VA for chronic pain on Aug 25, 2025.

I was being monitored by medical devices and was told my blood pressure shot up to 170/120 at the exact moment of my NDE. Before it was 120/80. I saw white everywhere and my body was glowing white with a pearl like essence. I raised up from a lying to standing position, all the while knowing I was transitioning from living to dying. The feeling was pure ecstasy with no fear and I had total acceptance of leaving this life behind.

I was wearing a sleep mask and my eyes were wide open. The experience is impossible to completely describe.

I was telepathically asked, “Are you ready” and I answered, “Yes.” As I was ascending, I said, “Tell Vivian I love her out loud.”

Suddenly, I heard mumbled voices and realized I was still on earth. I removed my mask and saw the nurse. I told her I shouldn't be here because I died and went to heaven. I was in a state of denial. Finally, she repeated what I had said out loud and the technician told me about my abnormal vital signs when the NDE occurred.

I have recordings of what was said after the NDE.  I told the nurse it was a holy experience. The conversation between the technician, nurse, and myself was recorded—which I have.
