This experience contains both powerful spiritual elements and significant departures from biblical theology. The positive aspects include the encounter with an omnipotent divine voice commanding her return, which aligns with God's sovereignty over life and death. The concept of having divinely appointed missions to complete reflects biblical ideas of purpose and calling. The profound peace and joy in God's presence corresponds to biblical descriptions of divine encounter. Her loss of death fear and understanding of eternal soul existence partially aligns with Christian teachings about eternal life.

However, major theological problems severely compromise biblical compatibility. The most significant issue is her extensive past life visions, seeing herself and family members in previous incarnations across different times and countries. This directly contradicts the biblical teaching of one life followed by judgment (Hebrews 9:27). The thirty days of paranormal experiences and past life reviews represent concepts from Eastern religions and New Age philosophy completely incompatible with Christian doctrine. Her post-experience belief system emphasizing universal love without Christ, spiritual evolution through multiple lives, and achievement of lighter emotional states reflects karma-based spirituality rather than grace-based salvation. While she mentions God and spent time in His presence, the overall framework of reincarnation and past lives fundamentally contradicts core biblical teachings about human existence, death, and salvation.
On July 28, 1996, Malena woke at 4 AM with intense chest pain and severe difficulty breathing from a pulmonary embolism. The pain was so overwhelming that she surrendered and "went," losing consciousness as her heart stopped for several seconds. She passed into a state of complete relief where pain no longer existed. When she regained consciousness at 7 AM, though only seconds of cardiac arrest had occurred, she had experienced a profound journey. Doctors slapped her face to revive her, and she found herself surrounded by medical staff with lights, noise, and intense physical drama.

During her cardiac arrest, she found herself floating over her body while entering a dark tunnel. As she progressed deeper, she lost all perception of her physical form and entered an ocean of stillness, calm, silence, and rest. She experienced indescribable happiness and peace. In this state of extreme joy, she suddenly heard a powerful, omnipotent voice that commanded her to return, stating: "You must return to life. You still have three missions to complete." Despite not wanting to leave this peaceful state, the voice was so authoritative that disobedience was impossible. She managed to ask what missions she had, receiving answers to each question before rapidly traveling back to life.

The return brought back all the pain and physical drama. She spent eight wonderful days in intensive care, feeling she had been with God. Her condition was critical, bordering on requiring heart surgery, but miraculously the clot began reabsorbing itself. For thirty days following, she had continued paranormal experiences, visiting past lives and seeing herself in other times, ages, and countries with current family members in different roles. These visions helped her understand her life and relationships more deeply.

The three missions revealed during her NDE took years to fully understand - the first was immediately clear, the second took five years to comprehend, and the third required ten years. Sixteen years later, she felt ready to share her complete experience. The encounter left her without fear of death, understanding that only the physical body dies while the soul continues. She gained understanding that we must love everything and everyone, live ready for transition without fear or attachments, and maintain lighter emotional states.
