reincarnation, Source theology
Experience contains some biblical elements mixed with clearly unbiblical beliefs. Natalie had an out-of-body experience where she consciously chose to return for her siblings' sake, showing selfless love. She gained spiritual awareness and became more empathetic. However, she explicitly states belief in reincarnation ("I've existed many lifetimes"), refers to God as "the Source" suggesting impersonal deity, and believes in continuous reincarnation until spiritual lessons are learned. She practices visualization techniques and believes in surrounding spirits, showing new age influences. While the OBE itself aligns with biblical spirit-body distinction, her interpretation through reincarnation and Source theology contradicts biblical teaching of one life, personal God, and judgment after death.
Natalie died at age 8-9 when siblings accidentally smothered her with a pillow during a game. She found herself suspended on the ceiling, which seemed higher than actual, watching them below in complete peace. She realized she should go back so they wouldn't get in trouble, though she wondered if she should stay. She made the conscious decision to return. Upon sitting up, she told them what happened but they never believed her. Since then, she has had many spiritual experiences and understanding that life is for spiritual growth. She knows spirits are around us and practices protective visualization. She felt she was "older and wiser" during the experience but became a child again upon return. She understands bodies are vehicles and there is no real time. She has become more empathetic and aware of her spiritual mission, though unsure what it is specifically.
