Miguel P was surfing on a winter day in 1994 when enormous waves were breaking. While attempting to navigate a massive wave, he hesitated about whether to go through, over, or under it. The wave broke before he decided, throwing him from its crest and crushing him beneath. His surfboard leash broke and he became disoriented underwater, unable to tell up from down in the darkness. As he began drowning and breathing in water, the experience transformed completely. The darkness became crystalline clear water, and he felt profound peace and serenity beyond anything he had experienced before or since. He saw intense white light as if from a hot summer day and felt himself floating in a perfectly calm ocean. The feeling was pure well-being and immense emotion beyond compare. He lost consciousness in this state and later awoke on the shore, where his fiancée, sister and friends said he had been underwater for about five minutes. The experience eliminated his fear of death and gave him certainty that death brings a state of perfect peace. He remains agnostic about whether the experience was divine or a natural chemical reaction, but is certain it represents what "rest in peace" truly means.
