I wonder about the accuracy of the future visions in Howard Storm's NDE

General NDE Discussion 🎇

One of the oldest NDEs I've read about back when I was first discovering them was Howard Storm's (not to be confused with Howard STERN). https://near-death.com/howard-storm/ Back then, I was mostly captivated by how transformative and elaborate it was. Recently, however, I took notice of what he was warned about regarding the future.

While he has been told that there would be no nuclear wars and that humanity has the capacity to strive towards a wonderful future, the worst-case scenario would see them face numerous hardships. And frankly, a lot of what is warned about is scarily accurate to what is happening these days.

I will copy and paste an excerpt from this article, with said excerpt being under "5. The Future of the U.S. and the World"

“If the United States continues to exploit the rest of the world by greedily consuming the world’s resources, the United States will have God’s blessing withdrawn.

“Your country will collapse economically which will result in civil chaos. Because of the greedy nature of the people, you will have people killing people for a cup of gasoline.

“The world will watch in horror as your country is obliterated by strife. The rest of the world will not intervene because they have been victims of your exploitation. They will welcome the annihilation of such selfish people.

“The United States must change immediately and become the teachers of goodness and generosity to the rest of the world.

“Today the United States is the primary merchant of war and the culture of violence that you export to the world. This will come to an end because you have the seeds of your own destruction within you. Either you will destroy yourselves or God will bring it to an end if there isn’t a change.”

"In his 2000 book, “My Descent into Death,” Storm described possible timelines of a future Golden Age and a possible future of immense destruction. According to Storm, we currently live in a time when humanity is caught up in materialism, greed, and selfishness. Environmental degradation is worsening. Nations are aggressive and militaristic. Religion is more institutional than spiritual. We’re at a critical turning point. Humanity is choosing between two paths: destruction or transformation. If humanity fails to change, from between the 2030s to the 2060s, there will be worldwide environmental disasters (earthquakes, volcanoes, storms), the power grid will be sabotaged, a global financial collapse will occur, wars will break out around the world (no nuclear war), and social chaos will be widespread. A utopian future can occur between the 2100s and the 2200s – but only if humanity changes course now. This utopia will be a “Golden Age” when all war, poverty, and injustice are eliminated. The Earth will be healed and sustainably managed. Governments will be based on wisdom and compassion, not power. Spiritual beings will interact more openly with humanity. Life will be guided by divine love, not fear. But if destruction occurs before this utopia, there will be a recovery period between the 2060s and the 2100s when communities will emerge based on cooperation, love, and service. People will return to spiritual values. Technology will be reintroduced gradually, used ethically and sustainably. Storm was told that the future is not fixed. Our choices now will determine whether we face destruction or a spiritual rebirth."

What I find scarily interesting is that we kind of are seeing several predictions play out, such as: gasoline shortage; the economy being in shambles; numerous social issues (like with politics); various wars happening at once; and all sorts of environmental disasters (like with the collapsing AMOC and super El Nino)(I don't know if his spirit guides warned about heat waves, but I digress).

As scary as the warnings are, there is a silver lining where, contrary to what climate change videos and articles commonly espouse, humanity will ultimately endure, bounce back, and lead into a new age of prosperity and that Earth and life itself will find a way. This is not to say that everything is A-OK as so many are likely to suffer and perhaps not even make it (if that's to happen, I pray for their end to be mercifully swift), but it's not entirely hopeless in the worst-case scenario.

What's your take on the future warnings in Howard Storm's NDE? Are they close to our reality?
