AMERICAN scientists killed seven volunteers with lethal injections and then brought back to life in a controversial and possibly illegal experiment to determine if consciousness continues to exist after the body ceases to function.
And what they found is that “a vivid and energetic mental state” does live on after death,” with consciousness – or a soul – “experiencing abject misery or perfect bliss” in settings that are amazingly similar to notions of Hell and Heaven as described in religious literature and, to a lesser extent, classic works of fiction.
“Seven healthy volunteers were killed with a lethal dose of barbiturates and then revived precisely 15 minutes later,” explained a source who requested anonymity to avoid criminal prosecution in connection with the research that was secretly conducted at universities in New York, Michigan and California.
“Three responded positively to questions about their experiences – they recalled an afterlife. Four have no memory of anything beyond their final words with colleages before they received their injections.
“In one case, there is evidence of moderate brain damage, but it appears that it will be reversible.”
According to the source, the three volunteers who recalled an afterlife gave vivid but vastly different descriptions of their experiences.
A 33-year-old woman identified only as “a scientist deeply involved in the research” remembers being met by “a golden angel” who spirited her to Heaven – a vast city of white buildings inhabited by the souls of the blessed.
“Bliss – only bliss,” is how she recalls feeling. God, she notes, was “a glowing sphere of loving, intelligent, understanding light, shining like the sun above a towering, jewel-encrusted throne.”
Another volunteer, a 57-year-old man who also was described as being “a medical doctor,” recalls “a split-second journey to a point beyond eternity, the realm of the Supreme Being.”
He says he became part of “an expansive, all-encompassing, and brilliant white light,” in which “everything that ever was,
that is, and that ever will be, was known, comprehended and
understood.
“It was an eternally ecstatic state of being,” he is reported to have said. “I knew I had returned to the fountain of creation from which we all come.”
But it doesn’t seem to be the fountain to which we all return.
The source says the third subject who recalls an afterlife
journeyed to a place of misery, torment and unspeakable horror.
The volunteer, described as being “a 26-year-old graduate
student and avowed atheist,” was “hysterical and psychotic”
upon being revived.
And she remains under the care of a psychiatrist who says the young woman endured psychological and emotional trauma similar to that found in shellshocked soldiers who suffer nervous breakdowns on the battlefield.
The student says she remembers “plunging through darkness for what seemed like hours” before she found herself “roped to a cot” in a sweltering steel cell.
Helpless and terrified, she was sexually brutalized and then ripped limb from limb by, she says, by “vile monsters, demonic animals and evil, stinking creatures
- and Satan himself - over and over again.”
The question now, says the source, is how the researchers can
publish their findings without suffering legal or professional
consequences that could destroy their careers or land them in
jail.
“The experiments almost certainly were in violation of state and federal laws governing the use of the controlled drugs that were used to kill the test subjects, regardless of the fact that they re revived,” says the source, who leaked the study’s
results to derekclontz.com exclusively with, he says, “the authors’ blessings.”
“And there are so many moral and ethical questions surrounding the research that the scientists involved fear their reputations and careers will be destroyed if they come forward.
“In the meantime, they wanted people to know there is hope that at least some of us are going to a better place when we die.
“In these tough times we live in, that’s important for people to
know.”

I'd like to here some of y'alls opinion on this story. When I read this article, all I could think of was the stories of people on acid or DMT or some kind of Pysch.
4 out of 7 people had no memory whatsoever of what happend when they were gone, 2 people had amazing blissful memories and 1 person was in complete hell. Sounds like your typical trips to me. Does this sound in anyway legit to you? I would love to hear more about this story. What happens when we die interest me probably more then anything else I learn about.
