Paramedic who died for over 11 minutes and came back to life reveals exactly how it felt

The medical profession describes the state he was in as 'absolute tranquility' and talks fondly of his experience

There's only one thing that is certain in this life and that's that at some point we're all going to die.

It's a very bleak introduction, but it's true, and we all cope with it differently. Some people find religion in the hope that there is more to life after we die, while others make peace with 'knowing' that after their last breath a spark will go out and they'll cease to exist and rest in eternal nothingness.

Well, a paramedic Adam Tapp claims to know the answers after he 'died' for 11 minutes before being resuscitated.

The medical professional's near-death experience came when he was electrocuted during a woodwork project in 2018, and as doctors frantically tried to revive his heart, he remembers going on a spiritual journey that has now changed his outlook on life.

Speaking on the YouTube channel Beyond the Veil, he described the feeling as being in 'absolute tranquility'.

"I felt like I was falling for ages," he recalled. "And then it was just like waking up from a nap someplace that I'd always been."

Tapp explained the place he found himself in as 'perfect inky blackness', similar to 'deep space'.

"I was seeing spherically from a single point outwards, like I had just become a single point of awareness and I wasn't Adam, I wasn't dead, I wasn't, anything I was just perfect... like absolute contentment, and I was just in this space."

Tapp went on to majestically explain how he became a part of 'the fabric of the universe', labeling his surreal experience as 'perfect' and a 'natural progression' in the cycle of life.

It didn't last long as all of a sudden he was 'electrocuted again', which he now believes was from the defibrillator kickstarting his heart again.

Fortunately, he was saved but remained in a coma for eight hours before waking up without any concept of how long he was 'out' for.

When he came around, Tapp began doubting reality as he felt it 'wasn't real' before, eventually coming to grips with what had just happened to him and that he was very much still alive.

"I was left with his overwhelming sense of that this is just a stage, this is simply an evolution." he said. "It was going back to the source of everything."

Before adding: "Something that I have noticed has changed in me, my personality is my ability to appreciate a moment as opposed to applying meaning to everything.

"Death is quite possibly the most natural thing that happens. I think that death in itself is just simply a transition."
