Rita's initial drowning experience at age three could be viewed as a crisis-induced out-of-body experience, where a child's consciousness separated during trauma. The mention of guardian angels providing protection throughout her life aligns with Psalm 91:11 about angels guarding God's people. Her reference to God speaking to her and feeling protected suggests some awareness of the divine. The transformative nature of these experiences over decades indicates lasting spiritual impact.
However, the development and cultivation of occult abilities makes this account deeply problematic from a biblical perspective. The progression from childhood NDE to deliberate psychic practices including aura reading (a New Age practice), spirit communication (necromancy forbidden in Deuteronomy 18:11), and mediumistic abilities directly contradicts Scripture. Her visions include meeting people years before encountering them and hearing the sounds of hell without any redemptive Christian context. The constant sensing of presences and uncontrolled visions suggests demonic oppression rather than Holy Spirit gifts, especially given her need for medication to suppress them. The absence of Christ, lack of biblical discernment, and embrace of practices God explicitly forbids makes this incompatible with biblical Christianity. This appears to be a case where a childhood trauma opened doors to deceiving spirits rather than divine revelation.
At age three, Rita was drowning in a swimming pool after walking to the deep end. She went under water and experienced burning, then found herself floating above seeing a lady sunbathing by the pool and watching herself drowning. She wondered why the lady couldn't see her, then remembers being resuscitated on the ground. Throughout childhood and adulthood, she experienced recurring flying dreams and OBEs, seeing bright white light and hearing loud pops upon return. At 27, she watched herself and ex-husband sleeping from above. She has developed multiple psychic abilities including seeing auras, receiving visions of future events including meeting someone from a vision seven years later, experiencing emotions of others, and feeling presences around her constantly. She takes medication to control these experiences but they persist and intensify.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The childhood drowning OBE parallels some biblical accounts of spiritual vision during crisis. The awareness of spiritual presences and protection by guardian angels aligns with biblical teaching about ministering spirits. Unbiblical elements: The development of psychic abilities, aura reading, mediumistic experiences, and visions of hell's sounds without Christian context suggest occult involvement. The use of medication to suppress spiritual experiences rather than prayer indicates non-biblical approach. |
