Near-death Experience Podcast

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 …

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 …

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. Music from this episode: Rain Breathing Landscape Amani  

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 …

“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.” …

“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. …

“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.” Music from this episode included: Wide as Eternity The Void Woven Light

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 …

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 …

“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.” Music from this episode (by Chas Hathaway):  …

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 https://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 …

“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.”
