A Houston man said he no longer wonders what heaven is really like -- a near-death experience showed him the afterlife, Local 2 reported Monday.

Christian Andreason is a recording artist who always believed he was destined to be a star.

"The first time I was in Billboard magazine, I won their critics choice award," Andreason said.

But it took a more humbling experience for him to believe that he was destined for more.

Ten years ago, Andreason died as a result of an interaction between prescription pain pills and dental surgery.

"I felt myself being lifted up and surrounded by this light," he said.

In real time, he was only gone for two minutes, but what he saw felt like it lasted a lifetime.

"I was walking through this garden, looking at all these colorful flowers that are alive, and there's all this beautiful beyond blue water that is sparkling and tingling and it sings," Andreason said.

He believes the garden was heaven. While there, he said he was shown his life's review.

'"All of a sudden, I found myself in a long hallway of doors," he said. "One was this beautiful gothic-looking wood door and as I would peer thru the door, I would literally see an existence I was participating in."

But did Andreason actually visit heaven or is there another explanation to what happened to him while he was unconscious and not breathing?

"Some believe it's because the brain is deprived of oxygen," said Dr. Pavan Grover, a Houston doctor.

Grover has been fascinated with near-death experiences for years.

"I've studied it. I've seen it in my patients," he said.

But many of his colleagues believe near-death experiences are not the result of seeing heaven, but because of a lack of oxygen to the brain.

Regardless of the scientific arguments, Andreason said his experience made it clear to him that he had a job to do -- help others realize that we all come from heaven and we're all going back.

"When we're done here, were going to be creators of something brand new. The sky's the limit of what we could create," he said.

He uses his music to help spread his message.

A new album of songs dedicated to his near-death experience comes out next month. But in addition to his voice, Andreason said he has another gift.

"People would come in my path and I would suddenly see the problems that were plaguing them," he said.

He believes he can see what others cannot and he uses the intuitive abilities and his near-death experience to help others.

"Everyone in life has a dream, but there is always something blocking them from their dream, and I am the type of person that I can usually spot what's blocking a person from their dream," Andreason said.

For most of his clients, that means discovering how to love and enjoy life's journey.
