Imagine a small bolt of lightning paralyzing you and then a huge bolt killing you. And yet you are still consciously aware. Join Elizabeth Krohn on her journey through two weeks in heaven and the incredible synchronicities that followed. Elizabeth Krohn was a wife and mother of two young boys when she was struck by lightning in the parking lot of her Houston synagogue in 1988. Her most fundamental understandings of what the world is and how it works were completely transformed. Elizabeth has coauthored a book, “Changed in a Flash”, with Jeffrey J Kripal and is a frequent guest on podcasts, radio shows, and in person discussing her extraordinary experience. In November, 2021, Elizabeth was announced as a winner in the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) essay contest. Her essay “The Eternal Life of Consciousness” is being published into a book titled “Eyewitness to the Afterlife - My Two Weeks in Heaven" in the fall of 2023. Elizabeth now serves on the BICS Advisory Board. She and her husband live in Houston, Texas.
