James Arnold from New York City had a cardiac arrest in 2016. At that time, James's girlfriend tried to revive him with some first aid she knew, but the resuscitation lasted just 90 minutes. She immediately called 911. A team of firefighters and emergency medical services crew arrived to revive him. However, James went into a coma. When he awoke after three days, he was a changed person.

During his time in a coma, James recalls losing consciousness and having a near-death experience (NDE). "I was travelling over an expanse of water, floating on what seemed to be a stone-like surface. There was an endless sky, and I felt completely safe, free of fear, and neither male nor female. All my life I had suffered from gender dysphoria, a feeling that one's gender identity doesn't match with what one feels from within.

But after the NDE, I started presenting myself with courage as a transgender."

A little while later, James got married to his girlfriend that he had delayed due to his issue with gender identity.

Apparently the NDE ended the conflict he had been mired in for a long time in one stroke. His life straightened out and he returned with a much expanded consciousness and the knowledge that gender is incidental. It's the soul that matters.

Let's have a look at another NDE.

Below is a doctor's description of the life review of an NDE patient taken from the website 5 Credible Stories of Near-Death Experiences (Peer-Reviewed) (magiscenter.​com)
