During her NDE, Graça began traveling at an unthinkable speed. She saw the Earth and the Moon in the distance. She saw the Sun moving away. She saw colors that she cannot define because they don’t fit in the palette of Earthly colors. She felt a sentiment similar to one that we have when, after a long absence, we come back home. She felt as if she was ‘going back home’. She was at peace and felt happier than she had ever felt before. She returned with evidence that she really had left her body.

During her NDE, Rhonda J became aware of a voice that told her that it was not her time, that she had things to do which were not completed, but that she would have the choice of dying or returning to her life. At that point, it was as if her abilities to experience time were accelerated and together with this voice which she did not recognize nor could she even say it was man, woman, human or God, was with her as they reviewed her life. Then together They began to look at the things left undone. Chas reads from the NDERF website.

In 1973, at the age of twenty, Cynthi had been drinking in a tavern with friends. A good friend of hers had insisted on giving her a ride home, but for some reason, Cynthi made a life changing decision to take a ride home with an acquaintance. As they approached and then passed through the intersection where they were supposed to have turned, the engine revved and then screamed. Her next realization was being in a void – traveling through space – being pushed and pulled at the same time. She was traveling at such an enormous rate of speed that she could feel friction on her body. This wasn’t the body that she was used to. Chas reads from the NDERF.org website.

“DISCLAIMER from Chas: In this episode I said some things that make it sound like I’m lumping wiccans in with communists and/or child molesters. I AM SO SORRY THAT IT SOUNDED THIS WAY! And I’m sorry that I said what I did. But just as a matter of clarification, that wasn’t my intent at all. My intent there was to point to various ideologies and to point out that we can have vastly different beliefs and still love and respect one another. Had I planned what I was going to say out in advance, I would have first said something like, “Whether we follow the tradition of Catholic, protestant, Buddhist, wiccan, astrology, Greek mythology, free-masonry, or any other belief system, can we embrace the people of another belief system? No matter how we differ in our beliefs, can we still embrace the people who subscribe to a different faith?” Then I would have talked about political differences, and said, “Can we embrace people of those differences as well?” And then I would have said, “But even if we can accept all those differences, here’s the acid test: can we embrace those who have done harm to others? Can we love those who have abused? Can we love the child-molester? Of course, we CANNOT and SHOULD NOT accept their behaviors in those things, and should NEVER justify their actions, but having placed them in legal custody and made sure they are not in a position to hurt others, can we then embrace them as fellow spirits on this mortal journey who are worth our love?”

Chas reads the NDEs and questions from listeners. Discussion includes the likelihood of the spirit leaving the body before a horrific death and how some experience a vibration in their body during STEs.

With regards to experiencing a vibration in the body during an STE, I suggest to Adam (who posed the question to Chas for this episode) and anyone else curious about this phenomenon to read Robert Monroe’s book “Journeys Out of the Body.”

Monroe (founder of the Monroe Institute) describes this phenomenon as he experimented with development of his “Binaural Beats, Hemi-Sync” recordings. If you aren’t familiar with these recordings you should explore them and the Monroe Institute. More recently, Dr. Eben Alexander and Karen Newell are developing similar recordings.

Kasandra, who had her NDE during the events of 9/11/2001, RF who saw “guides” at the end of a tunnel who help souls cross over a river, and Irene who passed through an “ox-blood, red tunnel” and experienced her NDE as a little girl at the same time as she experienced it as her current self.

James’ NDE began after his exploratory surgery by waking up on a ledge no wider than one to two inches. His feet felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff. He felt a wall behind him, and flattened himself to it as best he could. He was in a void, completely black. But yet – it felt endless. He saw nothing, only black. Yet he could feel there was a down, there was an up, a ledge, and a wall. He did not know who he was, or how he had gotten there, all he could think of was ‘DON’T FALL.’

Della M had just been moved into her room after surgery. The nurse was checking her vital signs but could no longer get a pulse. Della’s soul left her body and was up against the ceiling in the southeast corner of the room. She saw a doctor fill a syringe with a very long needle that they were going to inject into my heart. And them…

In 1972, when he was seventeen years old, Wayne Morrison mixed some drugs he shouldn’t have. During his probable NDE, he observed the entire history of our planet. He learned that every thought, vibration and feeling resounded throughout creation and has results, though we couldn’t begin to fathom them. He was transported through millions of light years of space and shown many planets and places where life exists. Then, he met a being of the highest order. He narrates his event and Chas discusses the details.

Jim Bruton experienced one of the most fascinating NDEs I have ever heard. After he crash-landed his self-built, experimental plane, Jim was standing inside the eternity of a single moment. The “Impossible Now” between the past and the future; the process of becoming.

The many synchronicities throughout Jim’s life that led him to his NDE will give you an amazing glimpse into how the synchronized, probable superpositioned facets of eternity come together in each one of our lives.

Everything’s Gonna Be OK.

This is not an NDE episode. I’m not going to talk about STEs. I’m going to talk about our lives, our life experience. Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, Chas and I, like everyone else on the planet, are feeling the pain and anguish. It’s shocking to see the carnage, the mortality and the morbidity. No bodies’ life will be untouched by this disease before it is behind us. But behind us it will go. This too shall pass. 

While the effects of this ongoing pandemic fill our thoughts daily, keep in your thoughts the understanding we have gained from learning about STEs. Let’s utilize what we have learned from the accounts we have heard. Many who have NDEs say that they were told they had to go back. That it’s not yet their time. Many report they were told they had not yet accomplished what they came here to accomplish, that they still have a mission. 

Many even say we have chosen to temporarily leave our spiritual homes to incarnate here for a reason. If this is so, certainly, to be here in the Earth plane with each other during this time is a huge part of what we would have come here for. We know that while experiencing life on Earth is often difficult, and though rarely as difficult as it is right now, we know we face it as one. And because of what we have learned from STEs we are also very much aware that we are also all together as one in the larger plan of our Creator.

We don’t always understand that plan while we are go through things. But there will come a time when this will be placed in perspective. Do not allow one speck of fear to intimidate you as we go through this. It may even take your life but it can’t take your soul.

We are a community. A global community of people who see things from a very long-range perspective. While we work together during this difficult time, keep a positive attitude. Help others as best you can. Be grateful for those who are helping. We will pick up the pieces and we rebuild our world. 

When we do, more than ever, we will rebuild it based in Love. Love that reflects the love so many NDErs speak of experiencing. 

To rebuilt our world we start by rebuilding ourselves.

Let’s start it right now. It is all about attitude and gratitude. Let’s make sure our attitude is always, Love.

Namaste.

After having a near-death experience secondary to alcohol poisoning at age 13, then a kidnaping, rape and near murder at age 14, Coreen Zalot found the desire, the courage and the means to heal and transition from victim to victor.

By subsequently becoming a Nurse, certified health and wellness coach and yoga instructor, and by tirelessly keeping us informed on her Facebook page of research and medical breakthroughs about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other matters that effect our health, she is pointing to a way we can break free from allowing anger, resentment and bitterness from personal traumas to control our actions and effect our lives. She shows how we can free ourselves from holding ourselves hostage. Her story and her life is an inspiration. And you hearing it is indeed part of why she was returned from the dead.

Dr. Ray Kadkhodaian contacted me after listening to item #263 (Donna’s NDE) and realizing that her story was very similar to what he experienced over 30 years ago at age 19. Despite not talking about his NDE for 30 years, he was compelled to reach out and tell his story with the hope that it would help others deal with their experiences similarly to how Donna’s story helped him deal with what he had buried deep inside for 30 years.

The listener must be warned that Dr. Kadkhodaian’s recount is extremely emotional, exacerbated by the fact that his wife’s young cousin had just tragically transitioned a day before the interview. Dr. Ray’s courage to share his story with us is profoundly admirable and deeply appreciated.

You may want to listen to item #263 before hearing Dr. Ray’s story to help you see how many things Donna spoke of that paralleled what Dr. Ray experienced and how it triggered such deep emotions in him.

Dr. Cole’s NDE left him pondering what to make of it through the eyes of a physician whose scientific training did not account for such phenomena. His ability to contrast what he experienced during his NDE to what he experienced during his military training (hyperventilation and hypoxia) gives us further proof that NDEs are not the result on a hypoxic brain.

This is the conclusion to my discussion about LBLs with Linda Gabriel that has part 1 in item #264. If you haven’t already heard that part, you should begin there. And also comb through the extensive show notes and watch the videos I presented there to get the needed background to fully appreciate the LBL information.

I’m adding one more video in these show notes that really helps solidify the LBL phenomena from the perspective of Richard Martini. In it, Richard is speaking before an IANDS conference back in 2014 about his Flipside book.

Thank you very much for listening and supporting this podcast. And thank you for being open minded and open hearted while remaining skeptical.

Thank you for listening!

In this episode, I interview Linda Gabriel. Linda is a hypnotherapist who was personally trained by Michael Newton, Ph.D. 

You can learn all about Linda and the gifts she has to offer, go to her website: https://lindagabriel.com/.

This is the first episode I will use to explore the phenomena of Life Between Lives or LBL. An LBL experience occurs when someone is placed under hypnosis and proceeds beyond a past life regression, through their transition from that past life into the spirit realm. This spirit realm is where many people feel that NDEs occur. But no matter how extensive an NDE is, it is more limited than an LBL experience because the people who experience an NDE are restricted in the amount of time they spend in the spirit ream before they return back to their incarnated life with us. So they get only a glimpse of what LBLers experience. LBL experiencers continue beyond that point into their time in the spirit life where they also can reunite with loved ones and have life reviews etc.. LBLers also experience reuniting with their soul group members, get their spirit force or energy renewed and many other fascinating things. It’s astounding.

Dr. Newton’s LBL research was conducted over a 30 year period on over 7,000 subjects. The breadth and depth of Dr. Newton’s work is truly flabbergasting. Be advised, to best grasp the scope of what goes on in the spirit realm in our LBLs, I strongly, VERY STRONGLY urge you to listen to the YouTube video via the link provided here in the show notes before you listen to this interview. 

If this link fails to work for some reason, search on YouTube for the Michael Newton interview where he is standing in front of what appears to be a brick wall background.

This video is part of an interview of Dr. Newton. In it, Dr. Newton does a great job of giving a cursory overview of his LBL research. Note that Dr. Newton remained a skeptic of his own discovery of the ability to reach the spirit realm and our LBLs until his continuing research cemented his findings as objective, reproducible and self-evident. 

After you have watched the Dr. Newton interview just mentioned and you have listened to this Linda Gabriel interview, you should definitely watch the documentary on Dr. Newton’s work entitled, “Flipside, My Journey into the Afterlife” which was produced by Richard Martini. There’s a link in the store page of this website.

Here as well, note that Mr. Martini was a huge skeptic as he filmed the documentary until he underwent a LBL hypnotherapy session. That session, along with subsequent experiences that Mr. Martini filmed and or had friends and associates take part in has brought forth even more tangible evidence that corroborates Dr. Newton’s work and shows that these LBL hypnotherapy sessions do indeed reveal exactly what they seem to reveal, the deepest exploration we have of the spirit realm and our lives between lives while we are there.

Here are links to the documentary about Michael Newton’s research by Richard Martini. It will amaze you. Rent or purchase on Amazon.com. Purchase the DVD on Amazon.com.

Finally, you will be absolutely blown away from reading or listening to Dr. Newton’s books because it is only there that you will get the complete picture of the afterlife, as best as I feel it can be explained so far as uncovered by Dr. Newton’s 30 years of research. Links to these books are on the store page of this website.

If you are interested in NDEs and life after transitioning, I think you will be absolutely amazed and definitely challenged by what you will learn from Dr. Newton’s research; I was and I still am.

If you are reading these notes after you have listened to my interview of Linda in this episode, you have some catching up to do! That is a lot of homework for you. Trust me, it will be worth your time and effort. 

This interview with Linda is a very basic introduction to LBLs. Dr. Newton’s audio books provide about 20 hours of spirit life discoveries. If you are interested in the our spiritual selves, you really owe it to yourself to discover Dr. Newton’s LBL research through his books and the aforementioned videos to get a broader understanding of our souls and the spirit realm. Through his work, I have found strings of truth that tie together many of the otherwise seemly contradictory data we get from NDEs and other sources of information about the spirit realm.

We are at a point in our evolution where we are not only able to discover these data, but we are able to share it with the entire human race. This is a gift from our Creator. Cherish it and utilize it as such. And be especially accepting and understanding of those who are not yet ready for it.

As a final word of advice to those listening to this interview and to those who comb through the LBL research, it is a challenging and inspiring trip down the rabbit hole of our spiritual selves. Remain skeptical but open-minded. And fasten your seatbelts.

Donna is an RN who had an NDE in 1991. She shares via telephone interview her experience and how her life has changed since.

In this last episode of the show, we hear the remarkable shared-death experience of Kristen, one of our listeners, and discuss a listener comment.
Here is the painting Kristen did of what she saw during her shared-death experience:

For any who would like to remain in contact with me, you can contact me at [email protected], or by following the podcast’s Facebook group.

Thank you all so much! This has been a wonderful journey together. In fact, when it comes all our individual turns to go, let’s be at each others’ reunions on the other side. What do you think?

Thank you for being here. Thank you for your support, and thank you all especially for listening!

“Even though I felt peace, comfort, and complete love behind me and around me, I didn’t want to go. Then, the next thing I saw was the room become bright and the light behind me was even brighter. I remember turning around crying and I asked, one more time, please, Lord not now.”

“On the night in question, I went to bed, it being like any other ordinary night. I remember ‘waking up’ as it were; only to find myself in complete darkness which I call the Void.”

“I was in a large theater, with a stage and velvet curtains on both sides. No one else was there. I was sitting in the middle of the row. I didn’t know how I got there or why. I waited, and then one of my earliest childhood friends came out onto the stage.”

“I could see what was behind me and could see what is before me. A clarity that set me on my path. The truth was inside me.”

As a professor of neuroscience, and an author of several books, including Unseen Forces: The Integration of Science, Reality, and You, Bob Davis is immensely interested in the topics of near-death experiences and consciousness. In this interview, we discuss these topics, along with the Bob’s research and thoughts on these subjects. Bob’s website is https://bobdavisspeaks.com.

“Then the light came. I was thrown straight into the middle of the Sun. Straight into the middle of the warmest, most beautiful, most welcoming light…”

“Uncle Dee Dee seemed to have stepped forward and approached me as though to shake my hand. While I gestured to shake his hand, I heard his voice as to say words to the effect of, ‘Well done.'”

“I just sat on the bottom and my short life started going before my eyes.”

“I immediately walked over to him and asked, “Are You the Being, called JESUS”

And with a warm soft, sense of Love and Laughter, he replied back, ‘I am called by many names, however because of your background you can call me BIG BROTHER, and I will call you, My Little Prince of Peace’…”

“I saw a very strong white light not like on earth, it is impossible to explain the intensity of that light.”

“…spirit projects me into the future, fifteen or twenty years further, and shows me what the life of those around me is, due to me, yet without me.”

“Floating, I went in the direction of the light that I felt I had to go to.”

Sorry about the intro on this one. I seem to have lost it in transition… no pun intended

“I felt pain in the form of a thousand fists punching me all over my body, but I didn’t care. I was focusing on the warm sensation now creeping from my body down through my legs and arms, and up to my neck, like sun on skin, but it radiated from the inside. A dark, black ring was now slowly restricting my sight. It was getting wider and wider, working it’s away into the middle of my view.”

“…all of a sudden a calmness as a voice spoke gently to me like warm honey being poured over me very warm and comforting like I had never felt since then came over me.”

“Then I felt as light as air and floating up to the top of the room and then it went black again.”

“Phebe was certain she was dying. Wilford blessed her and tried everything to relieve her suffering, but the fever grew worse. Finally she called Wilford to her side, testified of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and urged him to have faith amid his trials. The next day, her breathing stopped altogether, and she felt her spirit leave her.”

“I remember the physical sensation of shrinking, and talking to myself. I thought it was like being in a funnel and I was going down, by the time I was in the very tip of the funnel I was quite small. I even said, ‘ I am the size of a pea now.”

Most of the time, when people go to the other side, they want nothing more than to stay. But sometimes—if only occasionally, people want to come back. Because, more than anything else, we are here on earth for a reason.

“Then, in that light and sweetness, I was one with the other souls in total harmony.”

“During the time I was ‘out’, I had the most joyful experience of my life. The joy and ecstasy I felt was beyond description.”

“It was peaceful and I loved it. I wanted to stay. I had an overview of my life, who I should be with and who I shouldn’t, what life was and a taste of it I guess is a way to put it. I only remember a feeling of it now but at the time, I know it was beautiful.”

“I could feel myself moving, but I knew it wasn’t on the table any longer. There were thousands of colors in front of me. It looked like I was watching the Aurora Borealis.”

“Then I felt attracted by a light glow. But the more I went forward, the more I saw a kind of arc of circle surrounding me like arms protecting me.”

“Then I noticed that surrounding the doctors were more people. They were extraordinarily tall. They were wearing white, and they were very ‘shiny’; they emanated light.”

Also, from a listener comment/question, here are a couple commentaries that she might find useful. Thanks so much for contacting me!

Here’s one that a friend, Charlie Forbes, is involved in, that I really like:

Here’s another one you might like:

Lisa had a profound shared-death experience that I

found both remarkable and fascinating. Today she shares her experience with us. Lisa has her own podcast at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/millionaire-medium/id1281099732?mt=2&ls=1

And Lisa’s website is https://www.millionairemedium.com/

“I could see my body lying on the floor head down and still holding the wire. I rose to about ten feet off the ground and I stopped hovering near the roof tiles. I was calling for help but no one was there.”

“I experienced a feeling of traveling quickly down a long tunnel – this was somewhat disorienting/dizzying – the only thing I can think of to describe the feeling of this is the effect of watching a spinning red and white pinwheel and feeling as if I was spiraling along a tunnel (this may sound silly, but it was like the effect employed by old television programs to indicate traveling back in time).”

Nina, Van, and Mori, each had a near-death experience, and though their accounts are short, they are insightful, demonstrating both the common elements we hear so often in NDEs, as well as the uniqueness of each individual’s experience.

“All I know is that suddenly I was in a very long, dark tunnel moving very rapidly toward a very large, bright light that radiated love. I could hear beautiful, high-pitched wind chimes, and I could hear angels singing; legions of angels.”

“I know what it feels like to faint, before and after. When one faints, nothing happens before and after. This was different. I was out of body, but I was not afraid.”

“With a flash of the most intense white light, I found myself standing before the Source.”

“After that, I remember I saw the most beautiful garden I have ever seen, I saw my cousin who died five months ago in an abortion operation…”

“And I laughed, ‘THIS IS IT? THIS is what everyone is so afraid of???’ I laughed the same as I hear myself laugh now inside this thing once again. I was still ME, just not in this.”

“I remember being taken to the hospital and wondering why. At the time, it seemed like I was sleeping because I was on top of the ceiling looking down at myself. Mind you, I was only three years old and all this was really cool.”

“God asked me, ‘How did you serve your fellow man?’ I told him that I did not know. Just then, my soul filled with my entire past, and almost instantly, it was over.”

“If you are allowed to return you must put your vow first above all else. Do this and all that you need and even desire will be added to you.”

“What I experienced was that I was a tiny object of myself traveling with very high speed in dark space with a light”

“Then he said something to me like ‘Well, you won’t get too many chances to recover from something like this again. You must be much more careful in the future or you won’t be able to do what you have to do and that won’t be good.’”

“They told me, you are where you wished, we waited for you. It was gorgeously good.”

“I had a flashback of all my past life. One would have said slides bombarded at full speed without interruption.”

“I traveled through space at great speed, once I had lost the fear of going with it. I saw a light and I went into it. It was wondrous light that engulfed everything; there was total knowledge and love.”

“I died for about three or four minutes eleven years ago and entered this other dimension that I took as being Heaven, certainly an afterlife. It was really beautiful, with gardens and fountains and small, countryside hills. The people appeared in Greek or Roman dress, very comfortable with white robes and sandal type shoes.”

After sharing Kay’s experience, we share some listener comments and questions relating to religion and the near-death experience. And we discuss the power of using the edge effect to get the most out of both NDEs and religion.

Mentioned in this episode were these past episodes:

Judgment, Religion, and the Near-Death Experience

Alternative Explanations for Reincarnation

In this episode, we share the experiences of Connie, Maria, and Pam, and what they’re experiences teach about our life missions, and the compassion we can have for one another.

“Eventually the tunnel let out onto a platform with a marble floor. There were various people milling about in grey hooded robes. One of them came up to me and introduced himself as my guided. The architecture of the place I was very Greek in style with columns and such. I don’t believe it was heaven or hell.”

“I had the feeling that I was asked very gently to make a choice between living or not living.”

Tine, Cinthia, and Vadra each had a near-death experience, and today we share those accounts.

“Sometime during my unconscious phase, I found myself thrown near the edge of a swirling mass of beings. All the beings around me were very black and the atmosphere was one of depression and resignation. I was being pushed along very fast by the swirling mass of beings, some looking like walking skeletons. I had the feeling that, as we were moving round, we also were moving towards the outer edge of the swirling mass where these beings simply fell off the edge into nothingness or death.”

“The voice said again much more clearly, ‘Go back, it’s not your time.’

“I then thought, ‘No, I’m going to see my mother and I don’t want to go back.’

“I preceded up to my front door and as I was about to open it the voice changed into my mother’s voice and said even louder, ‘Go back, it’s not your time.’

“I then said, ‘I don’t want to go to school; I want to stay here with you.’ I tried to open the door.

“Then the voice said in a stern voice, ‘Go back to school now!'”

From Nellie’s Experience: “I was at the light and then I was stopped at a barrier. I looked at the light and I experienced an overwhelming flood of peace, joy, and unconditional love. I knew that God was behind that light, and there with Him was everything we could imagine – beautiful, good, just, merciful, and righteous, in a far greater measure than the human mind can conceive.”

From Dot’s Experience: “A higher power is showing us a mission to do. We are looking in the table. It’s Earth in there. The higher power shows us two ways to accomplish our mission: one of which he prefers us to do, the other one he isn’t crazy about, but it seems that the main thing he is interested in is whether we will we do it the way he asks, yes or no. We have free choice.”

“I then entered some other dimension and was greeted by people who I feel were my relatives or at least were absolutely overjoyed to see me and greeted me with overwhelming love.”

From Rhonda’s experience: “I came away feeling that must be total contentment. Jesus sat down under a very large tree and they all knelt down in front of Him.”

From Stefan’s experience: “I had total consciousness, I knew the answers to everything, why it was the way it was, and why it has to be the way it did in some cases.

“I know I was thinking about the riddle of cancer, and suddenly I knew how to cure this disease with very simple means. I know I was thinking it seemed funny that nobody had thought of this cure before, which was as self-evident as it actually was. I knew everything about the universe, how it was once created and why it all worked the way it did.”

After an overdose of opioid medication, Joe found himself falling to the bed, unconscious. His experience, which for a long time he assumed to be a dream, clearly fits the description of a near-death experience. As a listener to the podcast, Joe shares a recording of his own voice sharing his experience.

We also share the questions of a listener about finding an NDE searchable database, and several questions about the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints to which I belong. Briefly mentioned in the last question was Chas Hathaway’s book, The Second Coming and the Second Commandment, which is available on Amazon.com as a paperback or as a Kindle book.

Today we have the great blessing of interviewing Chris Batts’ about his remarkable near-death experience following his suicide.

In addition to speaking about his near-death experiences, Chris now works to inspire others, teaching suicide prevention, and encouraging people with his Youtube Channel. His book is soon to be released, and anyone interested in learning more from Chris, or want to ask questions about his experience, can reach him through his Youtube channel or his Facebook account.

“I was swooshed into a place with 4 robed beings. No wings. There was Ethereal, beautiful, whiteness everywhere. They spoke without speaking. Like a chorus…”

“The trooper about turned white and said, ‘That was no dream you had, what you described is exactly what happened.”’

In today’s episode, we share some comments and experiences shared by listeners. Included is the question of how much commentary you would like with the podcast. Is it fine like it is, or is it too much?

“I describe myself as flying fast through a sequence of sceneries that seemed unlimited, peripheral vision, I’m observing the journey…

“I am the journey.”

“I popped out through the top of my head, through the wall of the house (the bed was set against the wall), stood up and spoke to a white cloud-like, human-shaped figure outlined in blue (I’ve now come to understand that that was one of my guardian angels).”

“What I distinctly remember to this very day, is firstly a flashing of beautiful scenes, fields, oceans, dolphins, horses, and everything racing. Then suddenly I left the earth as such entering into a tunnel spiraling upward…”

“I saw a bright light through a tunnel, I went to the light; as I was going to the light I saw tiny lights all around me. I remember feeling at peace and the feeling of floating…”

“I did not see God (or Jesus either for that matter), but it seemed like God was looking over my left shoulder. God said, ‘Go back'”

“It was at this point that I was having out of body experiences. I felt as if my body was on autopilot and I was floating above it and totally aware of what was happening but not being at all concerned about it! I felt very calm and peaceful and as if nothing mattered any more, in fact quite euphoric!”

In this anonymous near-death experience from IANDS.org, the experiencer describes communicating with a musical note. She says, “Then I heard a musical note. I knew it was telling me to go back.”

Devon Loomis is a relationship coach with a Youtube channel where he shares his relationship advice. Today we play for you his remarkable account of his brief but profound near-death experience.

Kathy, Caroline, and Patricia each had a near-death experience, and while each experience is short, they are also beautiful and fascinating.

In answer to a listener question today about what happens in the afterlife to those who have done very regrettable things, we share the experience of Ana, who dies while giving birth to twins, and finds herself on the other side.

Today we discuss the topic of out-of-body experiences, and after sharing a listener experience on the subject, share the account of Pepe, who has met several people in his daily life that have had OBEs.

“‘How is that girl in the next room? Is she okay?’

“When I said that, a nurse who was nearby who was carrying a tray of syringes and other objects dropped it on the floor. She then went and got the specialist who had been looking after me and they started to whisper. I could hear what they were saying, the nurse kept repeating ‘how does she know that?'”

“The next thing I knew was that I was rising up from my body toward the ceiling. I knew my body and other people were below me, but I kept looking up. I stopped near the ceiling light; it was next to my face, very bright. Next thing I knew I was outside over a river…”

Today we share the near-death experiences of Carlene, Deborah, Guillermo, and Richard. Each experience is short, sweet, and profound.

“I found myself still in my seat but outside the airplane to the left in a very large room brightly lit with curtains draped all around the walls from floor to ceiling the seat appeared to be on a raised part of the floor with two steps down. Across the room to my left, some steps led up behind the curtains, which I presumed was out of the room. All the light came from this point and was much brighter from behind the curtained ‘entrance’.”

“I had a feeling that everything was okay even if it was beyond what I could understand. I did feel a gentle breeze moving me upwards. I had the feeling that everything was alright. I felt really good, benevolent, full of love and compassion.”

“I was given total and absolute knowledge about ALL things instantaneously!”

“Then the room started to fade away and this light took the shape of a tunnel that surrounded me; at this time I was being pulled at a high rate of speed and there was somebody with me, I felt safe and loved and at peace.”

I want to offer special thanks to Troy, a listener to the podcast for bringing this story to my attention. Oliver’s NDE is incredibly insightful, and offers an incredible perspective on how God can both love us, and seek to correct us when we’re off track. Shared in his own words.

We also had another listener comment by Stephen T. McClard, who’s insights we discussed in a previous episode. Stephen links to his page, https://bhaktisattva.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-essence-of-enlightenment-and.html.

Thanks, Stephen and Troy for your comments and thoughts!

Recently we shared the experience of one of our listeners, who nearly lost her four-year-old son, and her shared-death experience at that time. Now we get to hear the rest of the story—her son’s account. And though they didn’t tell each other of their individual experiences until the son (Jake) was in his twenties, when they did, they realized how profound the whole ordeal really was.

Today we share the NDE of David Bennett, Author of Voyage of Purpose: Spiritual Wisdom from Near-Death back to Life which is available on Amazon.com as a paperback or as a Kindle book. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

“I was zooming down the center of a huge tunnel-that seemed to be lit from inside the walls of it. I could tell I was actually moving because the tunnel walls had a spiral effect to them. I remember thinking how beautiful it was and was amazed how I could be suspended in air flying so fast down the center of this huge thing.”

“Suddenly, all I saw was light. Not bright light, but soft, comforting light. I don’t know how to explain it, like I said, it is too big for words; there was a peace coming over me. Rest, peace in its greatest form. No worries, no problems, no bad feelings, no black thoughts. Only peace. Bigger than when you’re in love, greater than when you hold your child for the first time, more beautiful than anyone can imagine. Only peace, rest, and happiness.”

Today we share the experiences of Mosher, Barry, and Wayne, all of whom had fascinating NDEs. Sometimes the big lessons are packed in small accounts.

Jeffrey had a particularly distressing near-death experience, where he encountered strange places, creatures, and suffering. Probably not the best episode to share with children, but one that may shed some light on the suffering we experience in this life.

“We were drinking pop, eating pizza and watching the Superman movie with Christopher Reeves where he loses his powers (Superman II or III?) I’d never seen it before. At one point in the movie, Superman is in a restaurant and he turns his back to a man who attacks him from behind. I think the man either punched or kicked him in the back and he experienced amazing pain, and maybe became paralyzed, I don’t recall now, but at any rate, the cruelty of the act, along with the sheer pain he felt, struck me like I’d been hit.

“It was odd, because I’d never felt a particular affinity for Superman (and it was just a movie). Why should I over-identify with his pain? And yet I did, so here’s what happened when I took on Superman’s pain…”

“My feeling now is that my NDE happened before my husband came and if he had not come, I might not be here today.”

“He tilted he head towards me and said ‘This isn’t want you wanted, it is?’

“I was starting to cry and replied, ‘No, it was stupid and I was only trying to get attention.’

“Then he said to me, ‘Do you see the light?’

“I looked around and far off into the distance was this light, like looking through a prism with rainbow colors generating from it. But it was very far away and very little to see, but it was there.

“That’s when he said to me, ‘Suicides are not allowed to receive the light; they remain in darkness.'”

After sharing Kathy’s experience, we read a comment by Stephen, a listener, who shares some fascinating insights he’s gained through meditation experiences. The links he shares are:

“He asked me if I wanted to return to that body again and it took me a while to decide. He told me I would have to come up with three reasons why I should be allowed to return.”

Linda died from internal bleeding. And being an atheist, and having lived, in her words, an “extremely arrogant, vain, conceited and very materialistic” life, perhaps her surprise at continuing to exist after death was only overshadowed by where she found herself.

“The more that I looked at him, the more that I saw how long I knew him. I actually remembered knowing him even before this universe was created. I could actually see this. I looked and looked and I couldn’t see any time that I didn’t know him. I could see long before any of this stuff came into creation.”

“Suddenly, from within this being, a huge tunnel had opened up and it was beautiful beyond words. I cannot tell you what I felt. The feeling of love, and peace that I had achieved while I was passing through this was amazing! I felt myself engulfed in the passion of love that seemed to flow from every corner of this tunnel and from this being!”

Nan died in a suicide attempt. But while being accompanied toward the light, her angelic guides kept repeating, “It’s not time! This is not the right time, oh no…”

From a fantastic listener question from Ashley about twins, we have a discussion today all about twins, NDEs, and the connection between them. In this episode, we share the experiences of Tim, Alma, Eruera, and Shirley.

“Before I was awakened from the surgery, I was aware of being enveloped in a bright glow that had no glare—it was simply perfect.”

In this special Christmas episode, we hear the experience of Roxanne, who in her near-death experience got the opportunity to meet Jesus Christ.

The music at the end of this episode is Love One Another.

It was Christmastime when Paul found himself driving into what looked to be a head-on collision. Says he, “As I realized I was about to be killed, a sensation as of a swirling vortex began that enveloped my whole body, which then concentrated in my head and I exited my body through the top of my head. I literally flew out of the top of my head. I found myself traveling in an upwards direction…”

The music at the end of this episode is You Gave You, written and sung by Chas Hathaway

“Behind me… were lots of people in a beautiful garden park—maybe 60 people, and they were all excited to see me, and I was so excited to see them, almost jumping up and down type of excitement. I knew I was in my real home…”

After sharing Robert’s riveting near-death experience, in which he saw many lifetimes, we talk about the concept of reincarnation, and offer some alternative explanations for what people are experiencing when they seem to see their own past lives. 

Cheryl Duran emailed the podcast with her beautiful near-death experience, and we’re so glad she did, because not only does her experiences provide some incredible insights into death and the spirit realm, but it also spawned a discussion on coming up with words to describe the ineffable. 

As a young girl, Mari had a tonsil operation, which went fine, but upon being given an injection of sulphur, Mari was in trouble. Her body’s reaction put her body unconscious, but sent her spirit somewhere much, much more enjoyable…

Cristine was working in her garden when she suddenly found herself in another realm, where, among other things, she experienced the creation of everything, and a garden like nothing she’d ever seen before.

Two exciting announcements! My book is out, AND we’ve struck a partnership with NDERF (the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation). 

This is not an episode—just an update so that any who would like to buy the book for a Christmas gift are able to in time for Christmas. (Just make sure to check the shipping method to be sure it’s one that will get it to you in time.)

Jeff was accidentally buried alive—which killed him, of course. But before he was rescued and returned, he visited heaven and during that visit, as he put it, “I immediately hit the floor face down saying ‘I am not worthy to be here. I should not be here’ over and over again.

“I was before the Holy Trinity.”

It was just an “innocent” game: breath deep a few times and then have someone squeeze your chest to make you pass out. But when Randy’s spirit left his body… well… I don’t want to spoil it for you.

Then we share some listener comments. And here’s the TED Talk referenced in this episode.

Donna’s NDE is an interesting demonstration of the after effects of the near-death experience. Have you, or anyone you known, experienced these after effects without having had an NDE? If so, has there been an incident in your life where it’s possible that you had an NDE but it was masked from your memory?

Anthony had a near-death experience, but unlike many NDErs, Anthony was able to keep track of time—at least as he experienced it in the spirit world. And how long was he there? Two-thousand, five hundred years. And how long was his body dead? Eight minutes.

Nancy had a near-death experience, and says, “I went out of my body and was floating up over us. I had an urge to pass right through the second story wall to the outside and did. I hovered over the Pacific Coast Highway and watched cars passing by below. I felt extremely peaceful. After a little while I had a pleasurable urge to just shoot through space and sort of streamlined my form (although I never looked at my spirit body) and rocketed out into the cool, dark space.”

“A voice said to me, ‘The love you give and the love you receive are yours for all eternity; you only answer for your incompletions – all the things not said or done.’ What I had seen made sense; I saw all my incompletions. Why hadn’t someone told me? I could have done it differently.”

Reunion

“At this moment, I heard a voice behind me and turned. There, standing… were two friends of mine who had been killed in a car wreck in 1983. They had been together when they were killed (as was fitting since they were always inseparable) and the three of us were closer than brother and sister. I went to both funerals and swore to myself that I would really like to have those two gals come to collect me (if that was how it was done) when I died. Well, here they were.”

“Then in a distance, I saw a figure coming towards me. He stood upright like a man, yet had some sort of electrical energy around him… I knew that he was God.”

Today we share three experiences—those of Kandy and Sheila, and also the fascinating experience of Diane, one of our listeners.

And just to reassure everyone, while there will be a few more episodes with background music (they were already recorded and scheduled before I got the first feedback about the music), I will NOT be recording any more episodes with background music. Thank you SO MUCH to all of you who contacted me with feedback. So far, the vote has been unanimous, and I’m happy to have the extra time back that it took to add the music. So don’t worry. After about a week of music background, everything goes back to normal!

The background music is still in its experimental stage, so let me know if it’s distracting, annoying, or too loud. It’s more work putting it in, so if it doesn’t matter either way to listeners, I’ll probably not keep doing it. Basically, let me know if you like having the musical background.

The background music from this episode is:

“While in His presence, I felt that the knowledge of the universe was all mine. All, questions were answered and made complete sense. We communicated freely, not with words, but clearly and more concise than any conversation I have ever had. I had no worries of this world.”

From a listener comment, we have today’s discussion on some of the lesser-discussed aspects found in near-death experience research, including Thomas’ past-life regression experience. Thomas had several experiences, and I want to personally thank him for sharing them with us. We also kick off the podcast with a short NDE by Sandy from NDERF.org

Today we get the awesome opportunity to share the experience of one of our listeners, Jim Bruton, who had a remarkable and unique near-death experience that is quite different than many of the traditional NDEs.

Jim’s website is http://www.inbetweenproductions.com, where you’ll find the imagery Jim refers to in his experience.

Five-year-old Mark was being tended by his grandfather, who stepped out of the room for only a few minutes, when Mark discovered a bottle of “Smarties” on his Grandfather’s desk. Unable to resist the heart medication that looked so much like candy, Mark downed the bottle. By the time he discovered that they tasted nothing like candy, it was too late. Mark died.

But prior to his return, Mark visited the other side and describes what he experienced there.

“When I exited the other end of the tunnel, I was standing in a grassy field that had low gently rolling hills. There were a few large oak trees and flowering bushes. I realized I was standing on a narrow sandy path and started walking along it.”

“I later accounted to my husband what had happened to me and asked him to tell me his side of the story. I told him at times I was not in my body. He believed that had he not been there calling my name they would have lost me.”

From two listeners we get two FANTASTIC questions today: One about apocalyptic futures seen in people’s near-death experiences, and one about whether we get to be with our pets again in the afterlife. Thanks to Wendy and Delon for today’s topics!

Referenced in this podcast is Erika McKenzie’s NDE.

“As I was getting ready to ask him another question, I looked up and saw my nephew floating above the others. He was not on the right or left – he was just floating around. I asked him, ‘Richard what are you doing up there?’

“He answered, ‘It was not my time. I have to stay here until it is my time.’

“My nephew Richard committed suicide in September, 1989. I felt the hurt in my heart to know he was not able to be at peace.”

In this interview with author Nancy Rynes, we talk about her incredible near-death experience, some of the insights she gained from it, and the lessons she learned from her time in the spirit world. Nancy’s website is NancyRynes.com, and her book can be bought there, or at amazon.com.

She’s also on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

“I am a comical person by nature so everyone was laughing, and (they) said I kept them all laughing up there [in heaven]! Anyway, I asked jokingly,  ‘What’s in it for me? Will I be in awful pain?’

“He said, ‘Pain, yes. But you’ll have help with it.'”

“I could feel my spirit come out of my body and I saw my body lying there as if asleep. I was carried as if my angels, though I did not see them, far up into the heavens and at a great speed. I was taken to a place surrounded by music. It was like no music I have ever heard. More beautiful than all the best music my ears have heard and it came from everywhere.”

Earl was in a car accident, and John had a life-threatening asthma attack. Both died, and though their stories differ, both offer the joyful, beautiful news of the afterlife.

Today we share the experience of an accountant and a man named Paul. Both see remarkable things and return to tell the story.

“I felt like I was in a tunnel, and at the top was a light. I felt like I was flying through the tunnel at incredible speed but as I was going through I could sense all the things I had done through my life and all the people I had known and loved…”

“I immediately rose to my feet, and looked at the nurse who had helped me up. She wasn’t a nurse. She was clothed in light, extraordinarily beautiful, and loving. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and I almost cry when I think about it.”

We also share a sample from Kim Rives’ experience that is fascinating for a number of reasons.

“At some point, a being came along and took me on a tour of the universe. I had instilled in me, creation and how the galaxies were created. I got to visit places that were advanced beyond comprehension, and yet see places that are just starting out!”

I opened my eyes and standing at the end of my bed was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. He reached out His hand toward me and smiled and said, “Do you want to come with me now or do you want to stay?”

“After a few moments, I blacked out. The next thing I knew I was watching a kind of movie of my life. Not a whole life story as some people experience but only some great and happy childhood memories. I don’t know how long this lasted but after this I was in a tunnel and out of body. I realized that my body was behind me but I was afraid to turn around and look. But then, being of a nature that is very analytical, I began taking an interest in the tunnel itself…”

Diane Goble drowned while rafting with her husband and friends. “The next thing I knew,” she says, “I was a hundred feet above the river, looking down at the raft stuck against the rocks below…”

Diane’s book, Beyond the Veil, recounts more details about her experience. There are also several video interviews with Diane on Youtube:
