On
October 22, 1976, Elane had a stroke, precipitated by a brain tumor,
followed by a marvelous near-death experience. She has stated that this
experience was the most singular and most important thing that has ever
happened to her. She was attending the American Floral Arts School in
Chicago and was just three days short of graduation when she suddenly began
having seizures. A classmate of hers called the paramedics. The following NDE testimony
by Elane Durham and her visions of the future were profiled in the
television documentary entitled "Ancient Prophecies". Elane was
clinically dead for an hour and was being prepped for the morgue when she
came back from the dead. Meanwhile she was give a tour of heaven as well as
a vision of what could happen on this planet given our current course. Elane describes her NDE:
When I got to the hospital, it was not as if I was on the gurney look up, but I was moving, not necessarily walking, but I was at eye level along the right side of the gurney."
And there was my body on it, but I did not have any relationship at all to that body.
The next thing that I can remember is running across the fields of grass. There were maybe five or seven people that were there waiting for me. And I realized that one of them was my grandmother who died when I was nine years old. The other one was my husband's friend Virginia and she had just died the previous February.
I was back in my body with a body slam and the defibrillators were above me getting ready to jolt me again. They continued to work with me but when my heart stopped again for the last time and I was pushed to one side to be prepared for the morgue."
Once again, Elaine reported leaving her physical body and entering a spiritual realm of light.
I was pulled into billions and billions of diamond-like sparkles and I was one of them."
Then Elaine was shown visions of the future.
After she received these visions, she returned to her body and found herself lying in the morgue.

Prophetic NDE Visions
The following prophetic
NDE visions is taken from Elane's book,
I Stand All Amazed: Love and Healing from Higher Realms (pages 53-56).
A Changed North America
As the angel pointed in front of me a wide view of land and
water opened up, so that at first I thought I was seeing two countries.
Instantly it was made known to me that I as looking at a vastly changed
portion of North America, which was completely divided by a large body of
water, and which had lost a large part of both eastern and western
shorelines. As I saw this I was given a total understanding of the natural
and man-made disasters that would need to occur to make these changes, and I
was informed that these might or might not come to pass according to our
choices as a people -- according to my choices as an individual.
Great Destruction
In this scenario icebergs and polar icecaps were melting.
Earthquakes had occurred and there had been hurricanes and fierce storms --
the whole country had been ravaged by these things. I could also see massive
fires burning here and there -- not so much the flames as the smoke that was
ascending toward me -- as huge areas of the country seemed to be being
burned. There were also explosions in some areas, sort of like sheet
lightning in a dark sky, that were doing great damage.
Where Washington and Oregon had been there were mostly islands, the water
coming inland over most of California and Arizona and parts of Utah and
Nevada. Yet there were also islands there, massive ones, so it wasn't like
it was all ocean....
On the East Coast I saw that much of the eastern seaboard was gone, though
the water did not come so far inland as it did on the West Coast. I was also
aware that the southern half of Florida was under water.
I don't remember seeing anything like Central America or South America, for
water surrounded what I was seeing, and I didn't really focus on what was
beyond that water. Yet at the same time, I had the understanding that the
waters had risen around the entire Earth, and that everything had changed to
one degree or another.
Two Separate Countries
The area of water in the middle of . . . the United States
was massive, and was widest or most extensive in the north. There were no
Great Lakes as I had known them, for all of them had come together into this
huge sea that extended northeastward into the ocean. The inland sea also
extended southward, filling most of the Mississippi an Missouri River
valleys and widening by many, many miles the Mississippi River where it
flows into what we know as the Gulf of Mexico. This sea was so vast that I
knew it could not be bridged, and so in essence the United States had become
as two separate countries.
A New Seat of Power
I was also aware that the seat of power, or patriotism, had
moved away from Washington, D.C. There was so much turmoil and warfare on
the eastern side of this body of water that no authority really existed
there. I understood then that in the scenario I was being shown, our country
had come to the very edge of destruction -- to the brink of losing
everything, because myself and hosts of others like me had chosen to seek
worldly things rather than loving or serving others.
Additionally, we had refused to care for our precious natural resources.
Because of our greed and selfishness our national government had lost most
of its power, and could no longer completely govern or control. National
laws were ignored, and there was no true nationwide governmental
infrastructure left. What government there was seemed to be territorial,
sort of like large tribes or groups of people who had banded together.
And I saw that because of the ramifications of these day-to-day choices the
people, especially on the eastern side of this new body of water, lived in
great danger and fear. There was tremendous anarchy and crime -- sort of
like the Los Angeles riots spread nationwide. And the normal citizens kept
themselves hidden away from all this, barricading themselves into their
homes or wherever they had gathered together for security. many children
didn't go to school, commerce as we know it had pretty much ceased, many
people were starving to death, there was terrible violence from people who
seemed like roving gangs -- it was just an awful scene of confusion and
turmoil.
Yet in this scenario there was less of that turmoil on the western portion
of our country. There was even a certain amount of prosperity, and it was
there that I could see the new seat of power, if that is what it could be
called. This area, or city or whatever, while on the eastern edge or shore
line of the western portion of land, was located in almost the exact center
of the combination of both halves of the country. Later when I looked at a
map of the United States, I realized that it would have been very near
present-day Kansas City.
From this location I could see power radiating outward, almost like light
flowing out to strengthen and stabilize other areas. This power was what I
called patriotism or strong moral character or spirituality -- a true
spiritual force that was the only real governing power over the whole land.
This is why I called that area the seat of power.
But I must state this power was totally spiritual -- a true power of spirit
such as the angel beside me was exhibiting, or that I had felt emanating
from Christ while I had been in His presence.
The Native Americans
I also sensed that some of the Indians -- the Native
Americans -- were partially responsible for the peacefulness that was on the
western side of this water. Some of these Native American peoples had a
knowledge of how to live from the land, or how to be in harmony with it so
it would bring forth in abundance according to their needs. They were
teaching this spiritual knowledge to the people around them, and all the
people were starting to learn to live in harmony with each other. At the
same time they were beginning again to prosper by becoming harmonious with
nature, or the natural elements upon which they depended.
