Ricardo's grandfather from Portugal experienced a severe case of pneumonia about a month ago that led to a coma. During the coma, he had an NDE where he experienced an out-of-body state and began a journey through a dark corridor. He was not walking but sliding through the tunnel where freaky-looking aberrations tried to reach out and touch him but couldn't due to an invisible barrier. At the end of the tunnel, he found himself in a bright, shiny place described as a beautiful garden with soft, magnificent music. A group of people dressed in white were waiting for him, all wearing garments with realistic depictions of rosebuds with two leaves on the stem painted on their chest area. One person slid up to him holding a real rosebud to give him, but before the transfer, he heard a man's voice saying twice "It's not time." The person then turned away without giving him the rose and returned to the group. The grandfather returned from his coma and recovered. The symbolism was interpreted as the rose representing love, the leaves showing life, the chest placement over the heart reinforcing love, the bud state meaning transformation potential, and the group being his soul family waiting to greet him.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience includes a journey through darkness (similar to the valley of the shadow of death), protection from evil beings by an invisible barrier (divine protection), arrival in a paradise-like garden with beautiful music (heavenly realm), beings in white garments (as described in Revelation), and a divine voice declaring it wasn't his time (God's sovereignty over life and death). The concept of a welcoming committee aligns with biblical accounts of being received into paradise. Unbiblical elements: None specifically identified. The rose symbolism, while not explicitly biblical, doesn't contradict scripture and could represent divine love.
