Death is on Extension of Life
It should be commonly known that there is a spirit in everyone. When a man dies, his mind also dies but his spirit survives death of his body and mind. And his sprit with memory of his mind goes to the spirit world. This is basically claimed in the Gospels and was taught by Christ Jesus.
When a man experiences a near-death experience, his spirit sometimes plays a major role in such an experience. In that case, he might get a glimpse of the spirit world.
However, Christ Jesus said: 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4). This must mean that a man can activate power of his spirit. And, a spirit with faith can execute a miracle according to Christ Jesus: 6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17)
So, there is no wonder that some people who experienced near-death experiences came to have some supernatural power. One of such experiences is reported by a Japanese female scholar of Japanese Literature who is also a Catholic sister.She experienced a near-death experience when she accidentally fell from steep stairs in a house of a Japanese Catholic organization in 1977. While she was lying in a bed after the accident before being brought to a hospital, she saw down below herself standing on a lotus, and that herself was unified with her looking down and she ascended as high as possible in air. Then, she saw bright celestial light and heard a voice saying that what was important was loving and understanding. Later, she returned to consciousness after coming back from the hospital.
Subsequently, she found that she obtained supernatural power to heal the sick, find what disease a patient had and when the patient would be healed. She exercised this power on many people her friend, a Catholic sister, brought to her. In one occasion, she healed even a sick dog. She could even know when a good luck would fall on a man. So, some business men in securities firms came to see her. But, when she found their professions, she decided not to meet such men.
She is an elite woman in the Japanese society as scholar of Japanese Literature, so that she does not need such supernatural power to make her famous or rich, although she wrote some books on her experiences to be publicly know as a unique female scholar. She does not need to publicize her ability, make it a kind of entertainment or business, and get big money. This is a very trustful case.
According to her, when a patient comes close to death, he looks surrounded by white light or transparent like an angel. When a patient is healed by her putting her hand over him, she feels as if light and healing power are flowing through het to him from the universe, which should invoke his own natural healing power. But she admits that some men die despite her effort to heal them. However, she thinks that death is on extension of life. And she feels that death of patients shows her glances of their life.
From a point of Biblical view, her report can be trusted, though she has not written that she was saved and guided by Christ Jesus. It is somewhat sorry that her work seems to be shadowed by some commercial spiritualists or spiritual business.

John 6, King James Version
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
