Paramedic who 'died' for 11 minutes explains what he felt in the afterlife: "I was seeing..."
If you want to find out what it’s like in the afterlife, paramedic Adam Tapp could give you an accurate answer drawing from his near-death experience seven years ago. The medical professional, who is fond of woodwork, was electrocuted to death while working on a dangerous project. Thankfully, he was resuscitated within a few minutes but left with a lifelong memory of what it felt like to be dead. Tapp opened up about his peculiar experience and where it transported him in a YouTube interview with The Other Side NDE (@TheOtherSideNDEYT).
In February 2018, Tapp found himself in a state of “absolute tranquility” and a “perfectly inky blackness” of space after he was electrocuted to death for 11.5 minutes. The paramedic was resuscitated by the doctors even after he was declared clinically dead. Speaking about his surreal experience, he said in the interview, “I felt like I was falling for ages. And then it was just like waking up from a nap someplace that I'd always been." Tapp, who has worked as a medical professional for 20 years, profoundly talked about the peace of the afterlife and how he was in a constant state of awareness, but without his identity as Adam.
“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 added. He compared the state to being in deep space with little lights of stars twinkling in the far distance. Fair to say, the paramedic was rather poetic about his insights and his words seemed more philosophical than scientific. “It was like basically becoming the fabric of the universe,” he marked. To sum it up, Tapp felt the life-altering near-death experience was more of a spiritual journey and helped him reconnect with his beliefs and faith afterward.
He followed up with another revelation about his physical restoration to reality. As he drifted into the endless void of blackness, the doctors on the other side electrocuted him back to life through defibrillation. After eight hours of being in a coma, Tapp opened his eyes to his family waiting to hug him out of sheer relief. But it seems he was still stuck in the afterlife and it was a while before he reconnected with his physical body and the reality. “I remember saying to my wife, like, 'This isn’t real, but this isn’t real.'”
Tapp explained his affinity for woodworking, a form of emotional expression for him, that encouraged him to try out a type of wood etching called Lichtenburg device. The technique involves taking a microwave transformer to strip all safety features and hook it up to a wall bonder. Plugging it to a ten-volt AC turns its electric potential into 12,000V DC. While working on it, one of the electrodes plugged in wrapped around his hands and snapped him straight out of reality. “It was like this intense, intense level of absolute pain,” Tapp reflected. We doubt if anyone imagines death would feel like a bed of roses. However, the idea of an afterlife is etched into the fabric of several religions around the world and often regarded as heaven or hell.
