The experiencer attempted suicide though specific medical details about the method or resulting medical crisis are not provided in the account. The narrative focuses on the visionary aspects of the experience rather than the physical circumstances.
During the experience, he saw what he described as a "stairway to heaven" with unique characteristics. On the steps and faces of the steps were small movies playing of his life. The steps leading upward from his vantage point showed his future, while the steps leading back down displayed his past. The stairway existed in open space with no landscape, surrounded only by open air. The environment was light but had no visible landscape features. He then found himself in an ornately decorated wooden room approximately 50ft x 50ft with specific architectural features. The room contained a one-step stage to his right adorned with open drapes leading to another room behind. Two evenly-spaced urns of 5-10 gallon volume sat on the step in front of the curtains. The stage was almost the width of the room and 10ft deep to the curtains, which were drawn midrift with sashes. Behind the stage was another room about 15ft deep. The ceiling and walls were brown wood, and there was no obvious light source though the space was not dark. No veridical observations of the physical environment or medical setting were reported. The experience consisted entirely of visionary content without verifiable elements. The account ends abruptly without describing how the experience concluded or the experiencer's return to normal consciousness. No lasting effects or transformations are mentioned.
