In September 1973, Teri experienced a severe car accident in a rural area, going into a ditch with her body crumpled under the steering wheel. She suffered head and neck injuries and was hospitalized for a week, with amnesia from that period except for the NDE memory. She was given a choice to stay or return, feeling it was truly life-threatening.

During the experience, Teri felt pulled into a vacuum-like tunnel with lights flying by as she traveled. She emerged into an indescribable place of peace and tranquility, encountering a Being of White Light who loved her unconditionally. The being appeared as an older man with long gray hair and beard, though she understood his true essence was Light and Love. Being in his presence felt like being "home" in a way she had never known.

The Being reviewed her life with her, showing how she had removed herself from love's benefits through anger over past experiences. She saw how important it is to project love rather than negative energy, and how others either benefit or are negatively affected by one's energy. She understood that heaven isn't a place you're admitted to but a frequency you attain. She begged to return to raise her consciousness and become more loving. The Being granted her request, though she found the return difficult.

The experience became the catalyst for 30 years of dedicated spiritual work. Through trial and error and scientific study, she developed the ability to feel unconditional love for everyone regardless of their actions. She now works to help others make positive changes and projects loving energy even toward corruption and dishonesty rather than anger.

--- Biblical Summary ---
Biblical elements: The tunnel and brilliant light, unconditional divine love, life review showing the importance of love, understanding of heaven as a spiritual state, and lasting transformation toward love all have biblical parallels. The Being of Light's love and the emphasis on love as the highest principle align with biblical teaching that God is love.

Unbiblical elements: The description of heaven as a "frequency to attain" rather than a place, the absence of judgment or discussion of sin and salvation, the focus on raising one's own consciousness through effort, and the universalist approach to love without regard for repentance or faith in Christ diverge from biblical teaching. The emphasis on self-transformation through willpower rather than grace through faith represents a works-based approach contrary to the gospel.
