Former journalist Sarah Bullen has had a near death experience and authored a book to share her experience. It's riveting.From philosophers through to clergy, mystics and atheists to you and me. For as long as humanity has existed, the same question has hamster-wheeled throughout millennia: What happens after we die? Heaven, hell, the great void or expire and simply become compost. It’s the great existential question that never bears an answer. Near death experiences may hold the key.
Her own experience occurred during an extended period where she was in a coma. “I absolutely know what happened,” Bullen said. “I was lying on life support in a hospital bed, but I wasn’t there. Then I was somewhere else, moving through the universe, completely unaware of my body.” Bullen shared how she felt herself leaving the hospital, drifting through layers of existence, further and further away from anything she recognised.
This disconnection from identity is one of the most fascinating aspects of her story. Bullen talks about how, even when she woke from the coma, it took time for her to reorient herself to this life. “I didn’t immediately recognise the people around me,” she said. “My children were right there, and I had to intellectually remind myself that they were mine. It was as if I had to reattach to this life, but it felt distant, almost foreign.
“It changes you in that you know there’s something more out there,” she said. “But at the same time, you still must live in this world. You still must pay bills, take care of your family, and do all the things that make up a human life.” One thing that has changed for her is the complete absence of fear surrounding death. “I have no fear of dying anymore,” she said. “I know what’s out there. It’s vast, and it’s not something to be afraid of. It’s just another step in the journey.
