Looking at history, ancient and modern, we find many examples of people who nearly died but came back, bringing with them stories of an afterlife and enhanced spiritual beliefs. Dr. Yvonne Kason, world-renowned researcher and author of “Soul Lessons from the Light,” calls these and other similar events Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs), a term she coined. Kason herself reports having had multiple STEs—including five near-death experiences. What is behind these phenomena? Who experiences them, and why?
