miller includes descriptions of people with lifelong deafness and blindness who have had nde’s with the capacity to hear and to see. an account is shared of a boy born deaf who had a nde in which he had “direct communication with about twenty ancestors . . . he’s neither heard nor understood verbal communication. yet he finds himself communicating effortlessly, not through sign language, but directly mind-to-mind, without learning a new form of communication.”
miller also shared that “blind persons, including those blind from birth, do report classic nde’s of the kind common to sighted persons; that the great preponderance of blind persons claim to see during nde’s and obe’s [out of body experiences]; and that occasionally claims of visually-based knowledge that could not have been obtained by normal means can be independently corroborated.”
miller stated further, “yet, nde’s reveal a personal god who both knows and cares about each of us.” the encounter with a being of light “is felt to be the most intense and most essential part of the experience. . . this encounter [with the being of light] is always accompanied by an overwhelming sense of unconditional love and acceptance . . . it is a personal being. it has a very definite personality. . . . the light . . . was of a kind that i’d never seen before and that differs from any other kind such as sunlight.”
so in these several accounts we are seeing a possible revelation of the truth of the living jesus christ given us in our space-time by god’s grace and boundless love.
