Volf W was in a severe car accident on October 29, 1964, swallowing his tongue and losing consciousness. Rescuers worked for twenty minutes to revive him. He suffered four cervical fractures with the atlas vertebra most severely damaged. He was unconscious for three days, briefly waking occasionally. During this time, he experienced floating over a billowing cornfield under a clear blue sky with white clouds and strong wind. At the field's end stood a red house with white window frames. The colors were extraordinarily sharp and vivid.
The experience filled him with profound happiness, energy, and strength that lasted four to five years before gradually weakening. Everything appeared in brighter, more imaginative colors than earthly existence. He felt safety, joy without limitations, incredible peace, and unity with the world. The cornfield and house he saw don't exist in reality but were beautiful nonetheless. Volf kept the experience private for six or seven years, feeling the energy would dissipate if shared. The experience had such deep impact that it remained meaningful throughout his life. He wanted to hold the strength and energy within himself, knowing it was too important to discuss initially. Only when the feeling began to fade did he start sharing the experience with others. --- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience of transcendent peace, joy, and unity reflects biblical descriptions of divine presence. The vivid, otherworldly beauty of the vision aligns with scriptural accounts of heavenly visions. The lasting transformative effect mirrors biblical spiritual encounters that permanently change individuals. Unbiblical elements: None identified. The vision of a cornfield and house, while not explicitly biblical imagery, doesn't contradict scripture and could represent personal symbols of peace and home in the divine presence.
