ד״ר מרי ניל הייתה מנתחת בכירה – אשת מדע סקפטית וצינית, עד שהקיאק שלה נתקע מתחת למפל מים שהטביע אותה למוות. כשמשו את גופתה וניסו להחיות אותה, כנגד כל הסיכויים, היא כבר טיילה בעולם שמעבר, ובסוף התעוררה. "ישות שמימית עטפה אותי באהבה טהורה אין-סופית והייתה לי תחושה עמוקה ומוחלטת שחזרתי הביתה", היא מספרת בריאיון

Video Summary
AI GeneratedDr. Mary Neal, a skeptical surgeon, experienced a near-death experience after drowning during a kayaking trip in Chile. Despite her scientific background and previous cynicism toward the afterlife, her 30-minute clinical death led her to a profound spiritual awakening and a belief in the existence of a realm beyond physical life.
The doctor who went to heaven and came back to tell about it
Dr. Mary Neill was a skeptical and cynical scientist.
until her cake got stuck under a waterfall that drowned her to death
When they extracted her body and tried to resuscitate her, against all odds
She had already faded into the world beyond, and finally awoke.
A spiritual entity enveloped me in infinite love of light.
I had a deep and absolute feeling that I had come home.
This is the story of the doctor who went to heaven and came back to tell about it.
If I had heard such a story before, as a doctor or as a scientist
I think I didn't pay much attention to him.
Dr. Mary Neil, a senior attending physician who led the spinal surgery department, told us.
At the hospital of the University of Southern California
Before the fatal accident she experienced, Doctor Neil was a very cynical and skeptical person.
Someone who believes only in science and doubts stories about the Garden of Eden, the soul, and life after death.
She always asked what the motive behind them was.
To this day, I keep asking myself whether a person who says such things has a hidden motive, or perhaps is religiously jealous.
Because one hears so many stories like this that later turn out to be untrue
She explains
Yet today it's easy for me to believe that I experienced it.
And ever since, I've heard another 600 stories similar to mine from different people.
When she and her husband Bill, a surgeon like herself, founded the family,
They chose to raise their four children in Jackson Hole.
Tourist city in Wyoming, United States
In the valley, abundant with girls and national parks
Surrounded by cities with ski resorts
When the children were old enough, the couple, Neil, decided in 1999
To finally fulfill their dream couple's vacation
To leave behind the wonderful winter of Jackson Hole
For a magical summer of beachside picnics in southern Chile
The chosen target was a dark-skinned boy.
was lost within a breathtaking tropical landscape of dense, tangled forests
And exploded in a stunning line of cascading waterfalls into the river.
The reefs, reaching up to seven meters in height, were quite challenging for sailing.
But both had already experienced the thrill of roller skating at large girls' roller rinks in the United States.
And felt sufficiently experienced and skilled to meet this challenge
The vacation was truly dreamlike.
The couple, Neil, enjoyed the breathtaking views.
They improved their sailing skills in steep and fast currents.
Practice handling the cakes with the quiche inside the water
But on the last day of vacation
An especially challenging sailing route has been planned.
Doctor Neil Kehm woke up in the morning with a heavy, ominous feeling.
that she could not understand its meaning
If there had been any prior, unconscious knowledge of what had happened on that day
She pushed her aside decisively.
After all, the weather was wonderful.
The shipping companies were fascinating.
The sailor himself is thrilling and challenging.
That morning, the sailor started off badly.
One of the least experienced sailors got stuck in the middle of the course.
And blocked the way for those who came after him.
I was forced to navigate downstream along the boy's unpredictable and unforeseen path.
Because one of the kayakers got stuck on the rocks and blocked the convenient route.
Nile's Number, to the Heavens and Back from 2012
The same article was written ten years after the incident.
When I arrived with the cake at high speed to the head of the queue
I saw that the water in this course falls with immense volume and power.
And at the bottom of the waterfall, the waters surged and roared in tumult.
I expected trouble, but there was no way back for me anymore.
I took a deep breath and let myself fall with the cake down the cliff.
When the fall ended, Neil's kite got stuck in the rocks exactly below the waterfall.
Neil was completely buried beneath the immense flood of water, unable to move.
At first, she didn't panic.
She was just trying over and over again all the techniques she knew in order to free herself from the cake.
If she had succeeded, she could have allowed herself to drift with the current toward one of the rocks.
And wait there for them to come and rescue her
But the weight of the water that fell upon her prevented any voluntary movement of her hands or legs.
And turned all attempts at escape into futile efforts.
I was like a marionette, my limbs acting on their own, with no control over my body.
Images of her husband and her children flashed through her mind.
She desperately tried to raise her head above the water in order to breathe.
After several failed attempts, she understood that her fate was no longer in her hands.
A surgical nurse could discern how the broken bones in the legs and the muscle bands were named under the weight of water.
But strangely, she felt no pain at all—only a sudden deep calm and serenity enveloped her.
As she slowly sank beneath the water, she felt her soul leave her body in an instant.
I heard a sound like a string snapping.
And I felt as if I were releasing my heavy outer layer
And I, a maiden, freely offered myself, rising above the youth.
It later turned out that Doctor Neil had been completely underwater for 15 full minutes, and another 15 minutes passed during her nurse's attempts to resuscitate her.
But her return to life and normal functioning is not even the most surprising part of the story.
What she says about him being a complete oddball is entirely unusual.
He changes lives for her and for the many who have heard her story.
In the idea we evaluated with her, she tells how her words
She ascended to the heavens, experiencing sublime encounters with descriptions of wall-like visions, and even met various divine beings.
Even the tragic prophecy of the scroll, which years later proved to have come true
