And I knew that they had been sent by God. They began taking me down this exceptionally beautiful path that was brilliant. And they were taking me toward this Great Dome structure of sorts that not only was exploding with beauty.
Mary C Neal - Visit Heaven After Drowning - To Heaven And Back. This is the story:
Dr. Mary Neal is an orthopedic surgeon who shares her medical practice and her love for outdoor adventure with her husband Bill. In 1999 they planned an adventure that took Mary on a spiritual journey few have taken and returned to talk about.
Mary C. Neal:
"My husband and I really enjoy kayaking. We enjoy traveling. We speak Spanish. We've traveled internationally a number of times. And so for my husband's birthday, I said okay, this is the year, where we're going to do it. So we went to Chile for a vacation, to kayak."
After a week of kayaking Bill sat out the final day with a sore back. Mary and the rest of their group kayak through a treacherous stretch of the river.
Mary C. Neal:
"This is a section of river that's very well known for its waterfalls. These are drops of 10 to 15 feet 20 feet maybe which for an experienced kayaker is not a crazy thing. I went over the main drop and as I crested over the drops I could see the tremendous turbulence. And tremendous volume and as I hit the bottom of the drop the front end of my boat became 10. I and my boat were immediately and completely submerged. The volume and force that the water was such that I was absolutely crushed to the front deck of the boat. And I couldn't move my arms even back far enough to reach my spray skirt let alone push myself out."
Mary was stuck. The only thing she could do was pray.
Mary C. Neal:
"I very sincerely asked that God's will be done and I meant it. I didn't say oh please come and save me. I really meant. I asked for God's will to be done and at the moment I asked that I was overcome by a very physical sensation of being held and comforted and reassured that everything was fine. That my husband would be fine, my for young children would be fine, regardless of whether I lived or died. And I believe that Christ is holding me when I was still in the boat and was the one reassuring me."
After several minutes of searching, the group leaders realized Mary was trapped under the falls.
Mary C. Neal:
"They came out on the rocks. And they kept trying to get to the boat but the force and the volume of the water was such that they just kept being flushed through. I mean they just couldn't get to me. At one point they sort of recognized that it was really turning into body recovery and not so much of a rescue. My body was being sucked over the front deck and so what that meant is when it got to my knees, my knees bent back on themselves. And I could feel that and I'm an orthopedic surgeon. I analytically was thinking, well feels like my tibia probably broke, but I wasn't screaming. I didn't have pain. I didn't have fear. I didn't have that sense of ear hunger. I know I've been underwater too long to be alive. Yet I feel more alive than I've ever felt. And this is more real than anything I've ever experienced. As my body broke free from my boat I felt my spirit break free from my body. And I rose up and out of the river."
Mary looked down on the river. She left her body. Then she was met by a group of heavenly beings.
Mary C. Neal:
"They were absolutely overjoyed to see me and greet me and I then, I knew that they had known me and loved me as long as I existed. And I knew that I had known them and loved them. And I knew that they had been sent by God. They began taking me down this exceptionally beautiful path that was brilliant. And they were taking me toward this Great Dome structure of sorts that not only was exploding with beauty. And color but it was exploding with this absolute love of God that was beyond anything I could ever describe or ever truly explained. And I could hardly wait. I was absolutely overwhelmed by this sensation of being home, of being where I belonged. But just as quickly there was a sense of disappointment that descended on everyone and the spirits who had taken me there told me that it wasn't my time. And I had more work to do on earth and I had to go back to my body."
After what seemed like hours with her heavenly host, Dr. Neal returned to the river and watched as her friends recovered her body.
Mary C. Neal:
"I could see my body being pulled in Shore and I could see the guys start CPR. I felt like he was looking right at me and begging me to come back and take a breath. And I lied down and I was reunited in the middle of a very remote part of South America."
Dr. Neil had been gone for over 15 minutes perhaps as long as 25 certainly longer than medical science can explain her survival. She was flown back to the United States where she slowly recovered from her injuries. In her book, 'To Heaven and Back,' she talks about how the reality of God's love has changed her for eternity.

Mary C. Neal:
"All of the promises of God are true. God loves each and every one of us and really is there and is working in each and every one of our lives. That love is everything. If we truly could accept that, it changes everything, it changes the way you view every moment of every day. The fact that there really is life after death profoundly changes the way you approach every moment."
