In January 2000, experienced snowboarder Josh suffered a severe accident landing a jump, causing whiplash from legs to neck. Initially coherent but bleeding profusely from his nose, he told his friend he needed ski patrol. Unknown to him, he then completed more jumps and tricks before reaching the lodge, where he collapsed with no memory of who he was. During his unconscious state, he experienced floating 50-70 feet above the ski lodge like being in a helicopter. In total silence or no noise, he felt warmth from something brighter than the sun that felt "right" - everything was calm, relaxed, and perfect. He could float anywhere freely, going to the mountain top to watch skiers, then back to observe people at lunch. Being pulled higher, about 200 yards up, he experienced thick light rays and increasing warmth where everything felt right and calm. Hearing his friend Sky and girlfriend Jessica calling his name in muffled stereo, he was pulled back down toward an ambulance. Unable to return upward, he was sucked backwards into his body on the gurney. Witnesses confirmed he had been unresponsive to sternum rubs until they called his name, when he suddenly opened his eyes wide. He remained unconscious for two more hours with amnesia rewinding his memory two years. The experience transformed him from intense and competitive to calm, relaxed, and positive.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The bright light warmer than the sun aligns with biblical descriptions of divine light and glory. The overwhelming peace, rightness, and calm match biblical descriptions of God's presence. Being called back by loved ones' voices and inability to ascend further suggests divine sovereignty over his life's continuation. The profound personality transformation toward peace and positivity demonstrates good spiritual fruit. Unbiblical elements: The development of monthly precognitive dreams raises concerns about divination-like abilities that scripture warns against.
