In 2001, Dr. Lynda Cramer collapsed in her bathroom and was declared clinically dead for 14 minutes. But what felt like a brief moment on Earth became, in her experience, 5 extraordinary years spent in what she could only describe as "heaven." Not a religious heaven with a God, just a beautiful place of pure love.
She remembers floating above her body as paramedics worked below, then suddenly finding herself in a realm of vivid color and boundless beauty, fields of flowers, crystal lakes, and mountain ranges stretching far beyond anything on Earth. She said she could move instantly from place to place, talk to people, even become them, as if she were part of everything at once.
In that realm, Cramer says she met an ancestor who guided her through a review of her life. There was no judgment, only deep understanding. She felt a profound connection to everything and everyone, realizing that thoughts, emotions, and intentions create ripples across all of existence. She describes this other side not as a separate heaven in a religious sense, but as a higher dimension of consciousness, a place of pure awareness and love that has always been here, just unseen.
It was there, she says, that she learned the truth about reincarnation. It isn’t a linear cycle of dying and being reborn, but a vast network of simultaneous lives, each one an expression of a single, multidimensional soul. Every life, every experience, is chosen for growth and understanding. Time, she realized, doesn’t flow the way we perceive it, it unfolds all at once. “We never really die,” she later explained, “we just change channels.”
When Cramer returned to her body, her perspective on life completely changed. The experience left her certain that consciousness continues beyond death, and that love is the binding force of everything. What she once called “heaven” now feels to her like home, a reminder that this world, too, is part of something far greater and far more beautiful than we can imagine.
