4 hours Ago By Maggie Astor
A little over two years ago, the actor was run over by a snowplow. Like thousands of others, he then felt an “exhilarating peace”. Why? A little over two years ago, actor Jeremy Renner was run over by a 7-tonne snowplow.
In a new memoir, he wrote that as he lay near death, he experienced something extraordinary. He could see his entire life at once, and felt an “exhilarating peace” and a connection to the world. He also saw family and friends arrayed before him, telling him not to let go.
“What I felt was energy, a constantly connected, beautiful and fantastic energy,” Renner wrote. “There was no time, place or space, and nothing to see, except a kind of electric, two-way vision made from strands of that inconceivable energy, like the whipping lines of cars’ taillights photographed by a time-lapse camera.” What Renner described is “classic for near-death experiences”, the term researchers use for such events, said Dr Jeffrey Long, the founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation.
