Justin, a British man, survived a life-threatening accident in 2004 that left him in a deep coma on life support for many days. The severity of his injuries required intensive medical intervention to maintain his vital functions.
During his coma, Justin experienced a profound life review with a unique perspective. He explained: "Many events in my life I experienced, but not from how I remembered it, but from the point of view of how the people, animals, environment experienced it around me. I felt it as my own." He could feel both the happiness and sadness he had caused others as if it were his own experience. This revealed that "every single thought, word, and action affects everything." During the review, he judged himself with no ego or lies to hide behind, feeling remorse and shame in the presence of overwhelming love and light. He discovered that things considered important in material life were actually insignificant, while seemingly unimportant things held great significance. Justin's veridical observations included experiencing his life events from the perspectives of not only other humans but also animals and the environment itself. He directly felt the emotions of all beings he had impacted. The self-judgment occurred without any external judge - "we judge ourselves; no one else does, the light did not." He gained special knowledge about the true significance of actions, discovering that material priorities were inverted from spiritual ones. The experience left Justin with a complete transformation of values, understanding that every thought, word, and action has far-reaching effects on all of existence.
