From Surgery To 'Third State' — Woman Describes Her Profound Afterlife Experience
She returned to life with remarkable afterlife revelations that forever changed her world.
Nanci Danison, 74, didn’t just have a close call in 1994, she went all the way through surgery and into what she describes as a full-on afterlife “third state.” One minute she was a successful lawyer with degrees and a packed schedule, the next she says she woke up to an overwhelming Light, the kind that didn’t feel like a religious concept, it felt like being absorbed into something alive.
The complicated part is her whole life up to that moment. She had been grinding long hours at a major law firm, leaving her husband waiting, and that pressure later helped fracture their marriage. Then, after she died during surgery and returned, she said the afterlife made her understand that her human achievements were basically a dream chapter, not the point of the story.
And once Nanci explained what she saw, the fear of death was the one thing that never came back.
Nanci Danison, 74, shared that she has come to terms with her mortality and no longer fears death.

That 1994 surgery is the moment everything flips, because Nanci says she woke up to a Light so intense it felt like merging with five “Light Being” friends.
"I went into the Light, was completely saturated with unconditional love, bliss, and acceptance. I literally merged my energy and being into my five Light Being friends so that I could experience their physical lifetimes.Others call it God, Yahweh, Allah, the Creator, etc. While deeper inside the Source phenomenon’s energy field, I watched the creation of our universe as the meaning and purpose of life were explained to me by Source itself.I was shown that I had never been separated from Source and was, in fact, an integrated part of its consciousness and self-awareness that had merely temporarily inhabited a human body.The purpose of life is to allow Source to experience the feelings and sensations of the universe it created, comparable to how we experience our dreams through the dream-character version of ourselves.When our bodies die, we simply wake up from the dream of human life and resume living spiritual life in what we call the afterlife," she shared her experience.

While her husband was left waiting during her law-firm years, Nanci claims the afterlife showed her she had never truly been separated from Source in the first place.
Before this experience, Nanci had achieved significant success as a partner in a major law firm, holding multiple degrees and earning a comfortable living. However, the stresses of her career had taken a toll on her personal life.
She worked long hours and had little time for her husband, leading to their eventual divorce. After her near-death experience, Nanci realized that these achievements mattered little in the grander scheme of existence.
Upon regaining consciousness, Nanci’s life changed dramatically. She left her high-powered law career to open her solo practice, where she focused on living a more meaningful and loving life.
She also began writing books about her experience, intensely wanting to share the wisdom she had gained in the afterlife.

After her near-death experience, the divorce and the long workdays suddenly sounded less like a life plan and more like a dream she could finally step out of.
After she regained consciousness, she didn’t just talk about it, she left her major law-firm path and opened her own solo practice focused on a “more meaningful and loving life.”

Now that she’s come to terms with mortality, Nanci’s “third state” talk makes her career success feel small, even though it once powered her whole schedule.
Nanci’s encounter with death was not her only brush with the unknown.
