New Age movement, Arcane Schools
The experience contains standard NDE elements like out-of-body experience and separation from physical form. However, the subsequent involvement with New Age movement and Arcane Schools introduces problematic elements from a biblical perspective. The Arcane Schools teach esoteric and occult knowledge that contradicts biblical teachings. While the initial experience itself was relatively neutral, the spiritual path taken afterward moved away from biblical Christianity into New Age spirituality, which embraces concepts incompatible with scripture.
Maggie experienced post-surgery hemorrhaging in 1980 and had a clinical death. She awakened lying in a pool of blood with medical staff very busy around her, feeling detached from all events. She separated from her body and observed herself lying on the bed and all the activity in the room, feeling no pain or distress. Everything seemed okay even though things were not okay. Years later, she began having strange experiences including excessive reading about the spirit world, trying to connect with others in the New Age movement, and studying in Arcane Schools. As a psychiatric nurse clinician, it took years to integrate this new energy and balance the traditional with non-traditional approaches. The experience fundamentally changed her worldview and spiritual understanding.
