This is What He Saw While Dying 😳

Shawn Ryan Show

John McAfee, a self-described atheist, experienced a profound three-day vision during a near-death experience involving flying over an ocean floor with demonic hands and heavenly skies, culminating in a divine voice warning of judgment and trial. The experience frightened McAfee more with the prospect of being judged than with the concept of hell itself.

Summary

The transcript recounts a story about John McAfee's near-death or visionary experience during a three-day period. McAfee, who identified as an atheist and did not believe in God, witnessed something so significant that he initially hesitated to discuss it but eventually shared the details with the narrator. During the experience, McAfee described flying at the speed of light over an ocean floor. The water contained every dark color imaginable—black, brown, gray, dark purple, and blood red. From this dark water, hands and exhausted faces emerged as if from hell itself, attempting to drag him downward. However, the scene transformed when a beautiful sky appeared above filled with the most vibrant colors he could imagine, including turquoise and pink, with a white cloud opening before him. As the cloud opened and he moved toward the ocean abyss, a voice spoke to him, saying, "Come here. The time has come," which McAfee understood as a call to trial and judgment. He reflected that he was not afraid of hell itself, but rather terrified of the judgment process and trial that would examine his entire life. His fear of facing divine judgment was so intense that he screamed, which caused him to wake from the experience.
