“Beyond exists and it is beautiful” the testimony is going around the world

1) "I TRAVELED INTO THE SKY"

In 2010 Todd Burpo, a pastor of the Methodist Church of Nebraska, in the United States, wrote a small book, Heaven Is for Real, Heaven for Real, in which he told the story of his son Colton's NDE: "He made a trip to Heaven" during a peritonitis operation that he survived. The story is particular because Colton was only 4 years old when the incident happened, and he told his experience, to the amazed parents, in an occasional and fragmented way. Children's NDEs are the most touching because they are the least polluted, the most true; one could say: the most virgin.

Most authentic pre-death in children

Pediatrician Dr. Melvin Morse, director of a research group on near-death experiences at the University of Washington, says:

«The near-death experiences of children are simple and pure, not polluted by any cultural or religious element. Children do not remove these experiences as adults often do, and they have no difficulty in integrating the spiritual implications of the vision of God ».

"There the angels sang for me"

So here is the summary of Colton's story as reported in the book Heaven Is for Real. Four months after his operation, passing by car near the hospital where he had been operated on, his mother who asks him if he remembers, Colton replies in a neutral voice and without hesitation: «Yes, mom, I remember. It is there that the angels sang for me! ». And in a serious tone he adds: «Jesus told them to sing because I was very afraid. And after that it was better ». Astonished, his father asked him: «Do you mean that Jesus was also there?». The boy nodding, as if confirming something completely normal, says: "Yes, he was there too." The father asked him: «Tell me, where was Jesus?». The boy replies: "I was sitting on his lap!"

The description of God

How easy it is to imagine parents wonder if this is true. Now, little Colton reveals that he had left his body during the operation, and he proves it by accurately describing what each of the parents was doing at that moment in another part of the hospital.

He amazes his parents by describing Heaven with unpublished details, corresponding to the Bible. It describes God as truly great, truly great; and says he loves us. He says that it is Jesus who receives us in Heaven.

He is no longer afraid of death. He reveals it once to his father who tells him that he risks dying if he crosses the road running: «How nice! It means that I will return to Heaven! ».

The meeting with the Virgin Mary

He will always answer the questions they ask him with the same simplicity. Yes, he has seen animals in Heaven. He saw the Virgin Mary kneeling before the throne of God, and at other times close to Jesus, who always loves as a mother does.
