Vincent Tolman of Great Britain made an incredible journey to the afterlife after doctors pronounced him dead.
It all started when Tolman took too high a dose of a bodybuilding supplement, which led to a critical condition. Within 45 minutes he showed no signs of life and paramedics were preparing to take him to the morgue.
Vincent claims doctors tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him, then placed him in a body bag and took him to the hospital. Vincent said he saw everything happening as if it were a movie.
All the while, he could hear the thoughts of the people who had witnessed his death, especially focusing on a paramedic who had just started work and who didn’t want anyone to die in his arms during his first week on the job.
This paramedic suddenly reopened Vincent’s body bag and proceeded to perform life-saving measures, to which Vincent began to respond and other paramedics immediately joined in an attempt to revive him.
According to the Daily StarDespite the extremely unfavorable prognosis of the doctors, Tolman came back to life thanks to the decisive actions of the medical staff. He began breathing again and fell into a medically induced coma for three days. Then he woke up.
Vincent says he was guided on his journey by a gentle presence named Drake: “I see this gentleman and I thought, ‘You must be God,’ and without moving his mouth he said, ‘No son, I am God not. ‘Be your guide’.”
In heaven, he said, he could see his life through the eyes of other people and realize its true value. Vincent says his spirit guide took him to heaven and showed him all the bad things he had done in his life, but also all the good things.
Fortunately, Vincent says he “actually did a lot more good than bad,” which allowed him to enter the spiritual realm where he learned the basic meaning of life.
“Earth is just a school, it has always been just a classroom and it has never been a courtroom,” he noted, emphasizing that the most important lesson he learned was the meaning of love.
Vincent’s spirit guide telepathically explained to him how the universe worked, but he said, “It’s so hard to explain because everything was nonverbal – it was just a direct understanding.”
Tolman shared his amazing experience on his YouTube channel Coming Home, where he talked about meeting Drake, the new knowledge he gained about the universe and the choice between returning to his family or staying in heaven.
Vincent’s story leaves many questions about the nature of death and the afterlife, which medicine and philosophy have been trying to unravel for centuries.
