Marie was bathing in the ocean when she got trapped in a roller wave. Having nearly drowned the year before from panicking, she decided to remain calm and wait. She found herself in another universe, first in complete blackness, then saw her life passing by extremely fast. She experienced perfect happiness where she was no longer "a nothing inside everything, but an everything inside nothing." Time and space ceased to exist - she didn't undergo feelings but became feeling itself. She was engulfed in the most perfect happiness until regaining consciousness on the sand. Her outlook on life completely changed. For five years she didn't tell anyone but recalled the feeling daily, crying with happiness. She later had another OBE when receiving bad news, floating near the ceiling in perfect happiness with waves of energy around her spirit. She struggled to return to comfort her crying husband.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience includes typical NDE elements of leaving the body, experiencing transcendent joy and peace, life review, and lasting positive transformation. The perfect happiness and unity described could represent divine communion. Unbiblical elements: Later drug use (acid, ecstasy) to try recreating the experience shows problematic seeking methods, though the original NDE itself contained no unbiblical content.
