In October 2003, Rita experienced cardiac arrest and pulmonary edema from an echo-virus infection, requiring defibrillation to save her life. During her 12-day coma, she had multiple strange episodes. She found herself in a boat on a dark, cold ocean, falling into deep water before being lifted out by what felt like two big hands - this occurred repeatedly. She saw herself on a hospital bed surrounded by people, viewing through what seemed like a veil. At times she was on a roof observing people standing on a wire like pigeons, watching below. She could travel instantly to places by thinking of them, viewing from high vantage points and traveling between locations like rivers. Water was a dominant element throughout. She heard someone speaking, possibly in Latin, while viewing a manuscript. She lived what seemed like normal life activities - going to work and being with family - but everything moved at an accelerated pace. After waking from the coma, she felt someone's presence in her room though she saw no one, and spent the night searching for this unseen presence.
--- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience contains several elements that align with biblical accounts. The out-of-body experiences and ability to observe from above reflect the spirit's separation from the physical body. The sensation of being lifted by "two big hands" could represent divine intervention or angelic assistance, consistent with biblical accounts of God's protective hands (Isaiah 41:10). The presence she sensed but could not see after awakening might relate to spiritual awareness or angelic presence. The hearing of possibly Latin speech while viewing a manuscript could suggest sacred or religious content. Unbiblical elements: None specifically identified, though the experience was fragmented and influenced by medical condition. The water symbolism and traveling between places like rivers, while unusual, don't contradict biblical teachings. The experience lacks clear religious imagery but contains no elements that oppose scripture.
