Jacob Cooper was three years old when he had a near-death experience while playing at a playground. Unknown to anyone, he had contracted pertussis (whooping cough), a potentially fatal condition for young children. At the top of a slide ladder, his breathing suddenly stopped completely and his body shut down.
Jacob experienced what he described as a gigantic crack like thunder, feeling his brain split in two as his consciousness separated from his physical form. He surrendered to what he called the breath of eternity and crossed to the other side, experiencing euphoric sensations he compared to an endless roller coaster ride. He encountered an endless sea of youthful, childlike angels floating peacefully and sending unconditional love and healing energy. Remarkably for a three-year-old, Jacob experienced a life review that included not just his brief current life but also memories of past lives. He specifically recalled a previous lifetime where he had ended his own life, and his NDE represented an opportunity to transform that pattern through surrender rather than struggle. He was given the choice to stay or return, and after being shown visions of himself helping many people as a healer, he chose to come back. The experience profoundly shaped Jacob's life path. He approached his father immediately after, saying something significant had happened that would make sense later. He developed heightened spiritual awareness and eventually became a clinical social worker and past-life regression therapist, fulfilling the vision shown during his NDE of helping transform lives through spiritual healing.
