Philosophers defined people as "the religious animal." Since the dawn of time, people sought a higher power than mere humanity. The ancients felt the tug of spirit, realizing that life itself involved more than what meets the eye. They seized upon the concept of a spiritual creative force that is the foundation of all that is physical. Spirit became the platform from which everything else derived. You have a body, but you are a spirit. We come from the spirit realm by the process of birth but at death, we return to it. With the modern advances in medicine, some strange things happened. People who were pronounced as dead by doctors came back to life and talked of things they had seen in another life. At first, these phenomena were considered the ravings of the deluded. However, some doctors themselves had the experience, or they ministered to patients who had the experience. A new science was formed called the near-death experience. Sammy Hughes suffered six heart attacks where there were no heartbeats, no blood pressure, and no brain activity. In one of these episodes, Sammy was gone for five minutes before being revived by the doctors. In two other episodes, Sammy went into another realm and saw his mother and father. However, the medical expertise of the doctors brought him back into his body. This is Sammy's story.
