#1 In 1943, George Ritchie was in Camp Barkley, Texas, training to fight the Nazis. He got word that the Army would send him to medical school, his dream come true. But he got double pneumonia the week he was supposed to ship out to Richmond for school.

#2 George had a religious experience when he saw the light that was Jesus. He thought about Jesus, the Son of God, whom he had learned about in Sunday school. This person was Power itself fused with an unconditional love that overwhelmed him.

#3 I had the experience of seeing my entire life in front of me when I was praying. I saw every single episode of my existence, from the third-grade spelling class to the Eagle scout ceremony. I was shocked and amazed by the life I had lived.

#4 After his tour of another dimension, George Ritchie was sent back to his earthly body, but with a sheet over his head. He had experienced life after life, and said that how we spend our time on earth is vastly more important than we can know.
