To offer you a vivid impression of his astral experience, the best I can do is to quote some lines from his book. He "woke up" and sat up with a start in a tiny room with a bed and a chair. The train! I would miss the train! I jumped out of bed in alarm looking for my clothes. They were gone. Under the bed maybe? I turned around, and then froze. Someone was lying in that bed. I took a step closer. He was quite a young man, with short brown hair, lying very still. But, the thing was impossible! I myself had just gotten out of that bed!"

Evidence of the 'living Christ'

The evidence of the continued presence of Christ (the 'Living Christ') as presented in chapters 21-26 is based on the testimony of a highly credible witness, Dr. George Ritchie, who, as a professor of psychiatry, testified about his encounter with Jesus during his miraculous death-experience 35 years after the event.

Although it sounds incredible, professor Ritchie's testimony is as reliable as it can get, comparable to a professor of astronomy testifying that he has seen a UFO.
Since we are dealing with a topic that stretches credulity it seems a good idea to begin with the following quote (abbrev.) from Wikipedia.

Dr. George G. Ritchie, M.D. (25 September 1923-29 October 2007) held positions as president of the Richmond Academy of General Practice; chairman of the Department of Psychiatry of Towers Hospital, and founder and president of the Universal Youth Corps, Inc. for almost 20 years. In 1967, he entered private psychiatry practice in Richmond and in 1983, moved to Anniston, Alabama, to serve as head of the Department of Psychiatry at the Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center.

Near-death experience

At the age of twenty, George Ritchie apparently died in an army hospital and was pronounced dead twice by he doctor on duty. Nine minutes later he returned to life. Dr. Ritchie wrote of his near-death experience(NDE) in Return from Tomorrow. In his book he tells of his meeting with Jesus Christ, and his travel with Christ through different dimensions of time and space. Return from Tomorrow has been translated into nine languages.

Ritchie's story was the first contact Dr. Raymond Moody, PhD had with NDE's, during his undergraduate studies in philosophy at the University of Virginia. This led Moody to investigate over 150 cases of NDE's in his book Life After Life.

As you may know Dr. Moody is the Darwin of NDE-research, opening a new paradigm and a whole fresh field of study in cardiology and other branches of medicine.

In the BOOK the credibility of this witness 'from beyond' is more deeply probed. Some 66 pages are devoted to Ritchie's experience, where whole sections from Return from Tomorrow are reproduced. Why? Because here we're not dealing with tangible scientific evidence as in the case of the Turin Shroud, but with a theme that appeals to both the understanding of the mind and of the heart.

Turn to chapters 21-26 and be awed and flabbergasted.
Ritchie's experience is the living affirmation of Job's words expressed in Händel's Messiah, "I know that my redeemer liveth." "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God…." (Job 19:25-27).
