I believe that at some point in our lives, most of us wondered what happens after death? Is there afterlife? Are the concepts of heaven and hell real? There are a lot of questions that are left unanswered regarding this controversial topic.

Taking to Reddit, a man shared a story that intrigued many.
According to him, at the time he was still a teenager, 15 years old to be exact, he “died for six minutes” and was taken to heaven. Namely, back in 2003, he simply collapsed on the road before experiencing the spiritual journey that left many stunned.

That day seemed like any other. He was feeling perfectly fine, when suddenly, he experienced a cold sweat, started losing his breath, and suffered ventricular fibrillation, which is an abnormal heart rhythm.

“During my visit, I learned things about our universe that I wish I hadn’t,” the user wrote, as per The Mirror. “It began with light. Blinding, white, pervasive. It bathed me, calmed me. It was everything they tell you about. Beatific, welcoming, the stuff of spiritual experiences.”

All of a sudden, he experienced the feeling of being lifted, and unexpectedly, he found himself in front of the heaven’s gates.
“I arrived in a place without dimension, a place beyond reality. It only made sense while I occupied it. I don’t believe a corporeal being can make sense of the astral plane, something about its intangible existence defies translation.

“So what I came away with were more impressions than images. I was not alone. Several life forces enclosed me upon my arrival. At first, because of my Christian upbringing, I believed them to be angels. In my incorporeal form, I made the spiritually-equivalent gesture of opening my arms, anticipating their embrace,” he said.

“Instead, I felt myself shackled by their powers, like a collared dog. Humiliation and terror came over me. These were not the ethereal beings I’d been led to believe await us. These were cruel, unsympathetic overlords by whom I was fettered.”
