In 1999, José and his brother were watching a movie where the hero held his breath underwater for an extended period. To test if this was possible, his brother covered José's face with a cushion to prevent breathing. José experienced increasingly violent and irregular heartbeats as time passed. When he began seeing tiny beautiful lights and twisting for air, his brother wouldn't release the cushion. Expecting death, José stopped struggling. The lights faded into increasing darkness. Then, though not breathing, he felt he WAS breathing - no heartbeat, no pain or weariness, feeling stronger and more alive than ever, light enough to fly, though unable to move. He lost body awareness and saw himself at his beloved school, then at his best friend's house, seeing landscapes without seeing his body. These happy images were accompanied by light wind. His mother began shaking him and blowing air into his lungs. The images disappeared into complete darkness. He awoke in the hospital on a breathing machine. The doctor called him foolish, saying he had stopped breathing for forty minutes and could have died without the breathing machine and emergency services. Everything he saw during the experience later appeared exactly in real life with mysterious precision.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The vision of meaningful places (school, friend's house) coming true later could represent divine foreknowledge. The peaceful, pain-free state might reflect the peace of paradise. The intervention through his mother saving him suggests divine providence preserving his life for a purpose. Unbiblical elements: None explicitly identified, though the reckless nature of the incident raises concerns about respecting the sanctity of life.
