J.R. Barrett, a prolific writer of over thirty books whose family included Holocaust survivors, experienced a profound NDE when thrown from her horse during a ride. Her father was a French-Romanian Ashkenazi Jew and atheist lawyer who never recovered from his anger toward the Nazis. Her uncle was in a German POW camp during WWII. Her mother, a Swedish Sephardic Jew and agnostic, later had departing visions on her deathbed. Before the accident, the sky was golden bright and the wind was blustery.
While riding on a ridge, she saw a man on an Arabian horse screaming as he galloped down the hill, causing her horse to rear up and flip over her. The horse reared a second time with feet skidding downhill. At this moment, she left her body with no care about her physical form. She observed her sisters putting their hands over their faces in horror. She felt someone on her left say "come with me" as a three-dimensional hand came forward. They held hands and were "surfing" together through space. Before hitting a barrier, she could differentiate individual things, but upon hitting the barrier, she saw that everything was connected - "we were all connected." She encountered a warm light that didn't hurt her eyes, feeling like she was "sitting in the lap of good." A face was buried in this light. The being pulled part of himself away, and she could see far away - every blade of grass, every flower in perfect detail. People were coming through a meadow. The guide with the three-dimensional hand told her "You have to go back." When she said "No," she had a panic attack and was slammed back into her body. Charlie, the ranch owner, threw her across his horse and took her for medical help. She had suffered a broken pelvis and broken lower back. The message she received was profound: "All paths lead to God. All paths lead to truth." The experience left her with a deep understanding of universal connection and spiritual truth.
