- About Lewis Brown Griggs:
Why do so many of us focus on the story of our shortcomings? How can our uniqueness be recognized as the greatest gift we bring to one another? Through his lives and near deaths, Lewis Brown Griggs shares transformational perspectives on how our weaknesses can become our greatest strengths.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
I understand what Lewis Brown Griggs is saying. Over 40 years ago, I had a NDE, which was also an OBE (out of body experience). I was electrocuted, and came out of my body. I noticed right away that it was very calm, quiet, and peaceful. Very serene and tranquil. I wasn't feeling any kind of pain at all. I was still Earthbound, and I was in the sheet metal facility where I was working. I could see everything going on around me. Then I saw my body, and I knew I was out of my body. The very first thought that occurred to me was: I think I'm dead. But I very quickly realized that my sense of awareness and conscientiousness was still with me. I was still me, and I was still here, and I felt very much alive. I felt as if I was some kind of energy, and I was pure mind. Then I had a feeling of complete acceptance, and then I was sensing perfect unconditional love. I could no longer see, and everything became extremely sensory. My senses became far beyond the human senses. From the time I left my body, until I returned to my body, no one spoke to me, nor did I speak to anyone in the verbal sense. But I now understand that in a sense, what I was sensing and experiencing was the language. I was completely at peace.
The last thing I experienced before returning to my body was what I call the Oneness. This is sort of like the oneness of the universe, or the oneness of everything. Somehow, someway, I just knew that everything was one. I know now that the acceptance and unconditional love that I was sensing and experiencing was coming from everyone who was at this place. I call this place Paradise, because it seems very Earth like in many ways. This doesn't seem physical but has the appearance of what we are familiar with on our planet. Probably because we will feel more comfortable in this type of setting. I returned to my body right after this.
My gut instinct tells me that the overwhelming majority of people who cross over after physical death will be just fine in the afterlife. Relax, just do the best you can in your human lives, and don't worry. Everything will be alright.
Thank you
So beautiful and such a gift to everyone that reads this. Thank you.
@@simoniza1 You are welcome
@@kathhollandful You are welcome
THank you, very interesting.
Really needed this!! My 7yrs old boy was diagnosed with brain cancer DIPG last year today and he passed away 5mths ago... I miss him so much, it brought me a lot of comfort through the talk, thank you!
So sorry to read that Judy. There is no greater love in the universe than a mothers love for her child. May whatever that divine creator that we call god give you peace and acceptance. From someone unknown here in the uk, thinking of you right now. Peace xx
I fulfilling understand your loss as I have been through a similar loss with my only son this last September. There is no pain like losing a child. These NDE talks have helped me so much.
@@favoured3606 big hugs!
@@favoured3606 I am so so sorry to read that you have lost your son recently. There is nothing I can say but I am sorry. Peace and love
Children always go to Heaven, adults not always.
I lost 2 sons within 5 months of each other and this gives me comfort to know my sons are loved I miss them so much some days more than other days. I choose to let them go to love.
💕🙏🏻🙌🏻🌹
I'm so sorry for your losses 🙏
Im so so so sorry for your loss 😢 💔
I used to go to Iliad meetings. There were many people there who had near death experiences. It helps.
Dannion Brinkley is interesting too.
But again, no words can ever express the true sorrow and suffering and loss.
Thwy are still with us though. We just can't see them. 💞💞💞💞💞💔
💔that’s sooooo sad,there’s nothing i can say to you other than I’m so genuinely sorry for your loss of your sons.Xx🙏🏻
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My wife passed away last Dec. 1 and I'm going through unbearable grief. But you have made it now more bearable. Thank you
I lost my mother yesterday . I hope she is so happy and free . Thanks 🙏
SENDING LOVE TO YOU IN THIS TIME OF SADNESS
Teresa, I lost my Mom nearly 4yrs ago! It feels like it's only been months! I want you to know that my Mom didn't like talking about her death. There was a program on TV an bc of that show, my Mom said " if I can let you know about the other side, I will! I said cool! An thought no more about it. Well 3 weeks after my Mom went home, I had an accident an I was physically fine but emotionally wrecked!! An then I hear God bless you, in my Mom's voice!! I used to tell my Mom, love you an God bless you! Everytime b4 I would leave. An the God bless you, came from my Mom's phone! So... I listened to my Mom's voicemail, an no where does Mom say God bless you!! That brought MUCH comfort to my heart an soul!! I hope my experience helps to comfort you as well!! An may God bless you!! 😊💯❤️
@@kimkolody2438 thank you for your beautiful response . God is giving me peace and understanding, I know my mother is surrounded by light

change of body , not necessarily worlds

I recently lost my wife (and best friend) to cancer. I believe I saw the exact moment her soul left her body just before she took her last breaths. Although she was not conscious, her facial expression changed and I saw a look of pure peace on her face. Her breathing pattern changed from agonal to very peaceful for 4 more breaths then she was gone. At the same time I felt a warm calming sensation from my head to my toes. There is no doubt in my mind she saw something that gave her peace and her soul followed it. It was actually pretty profound.
I lost my lovely wife 3 years ago.
After she passed on, I was in my bedroom thinking on her, and wishing mentally that she would appear to give me a sign that she was fine in heaven.
To my surprise that night, her smiling face appeared in our bedroom, giving me the assurance that she was happy in heaven
God bless all.
The thought of losing my wife and best friend, I can't fathom. God put me to the ultimate test last year which made me a believer. My wife got a severe case of Covid and was in the icu on an oxygen machine. I was outside in my yard for all of my neighbors to see and hear, yelling at the top of my lungs at God, to not do this to me. I was fully prepared to end it all had she died, but God had plans for me. I grew up agnostic. I won't go into details as it's a long story, but this was God's way of saving me and it worked. I continue recieving signs and it brings me comfort. My health took a sudden bad turn around the same time my wife was on her death bed. God will break hearts to save souls!
Yes I believe she spread that to you too
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I lost my husband very suddenly. I knew the second his soul left his body, though they were able to regain a heartbeat. I saw and sensed it when he left. This segment gives me great comfort in knowing that his pain is over and he is in that unimaginable place that has been so beautifully described. Thank you so much!
@Meg D, hello. Beautiful that you were with your husband at that moment of passing.
- I am still sadden that it may have been “before his time”, ? That we was young ?? And that it left you or children at a loss?
Thank You 🙏🏻 though for taking the time to post your absolute Precious experience, that is a gift 💝 for us ALL.
I’m a daughter, 60 yr. old and 88 yr. old Mom does not have much time left ... hence why I’m reading/searching these NDE’s. :). IF I may ask, how exactly did you “sense” your husbands spirit’s descent ..? Any further elaboration for us? I think so many people are so GRIEF Stricken, that they are consumed by those emotions and miss the sensory Gift you received ..? Right ..?
Lastly, have you since sensed your husband’s “presence”, as others have said, but again don’t really describe what they mean by that... :( We all know SO many who’ve lost, and miss, yet they are not saying they still or sometimes “sense” their loved ones who have crossed ... thx!!
how the second soul ? he had first soul also.. i didnt get it
I recently lost my wife (and best friend) to cancer. I also saw the exact moment her soul left her body just before she took her last breaths. Although she was not conscious, her facial expression changed and I saw a look of pure peace on her face. Her breathing pattern changed from agonal to very peaceful for 4 more breaths then she was gone. At the same time I felt a warm calming sensation from my head to my toes. There is no doubt in my mind she saw something that gave her peace and her soul followed it. It was actually pretty profound.
I too lost my husband. As he died his soul passed through me. I am so grateful for that loving connection we had.

My sister has been fight pancreatic cancer for nearly 5 years. She closed her eyes 5 days ago. It’s 3AM and I’ve been awaken and for some reason decided to listen to you TED talk. It is beautiful and filled with hope and love- not fear and sadness. Just as I was moving in to other videos, I received a text from my sister family in Washington. “Your beautiful sister is home now and forever.”
I believe your talk helped me accompany my sister to that divine space as she transformed. It was too much of a coincidence to believe otherwise. Thank you. It is a beautiful moment, although accompanied with the sadness that I will miss her company here, I am so happy she is experiencing what you described as pure joy.
Thank you for sharing
I’ve experienced death through losing my wife to cancer and friends from car accidents at very young ages
Also I lost my childhood friend from cancer
I’ve also gone through two divorces losing my home and everything I worked hard for
It made me realize that materialistic things on this earth are not important
It’s giving love and helping the less fortunate
Don Dressel we that lose the most, seem to gain the most.
Love is all there truly is. Thank you for giving love and helping people.❤

My experience was 41 years ago, mine was also calming and I was given a glimpse of my life and what special ability to love others I was given, and the message I was left with was " My time is not like yours, life it well." I am so thankful I was able to prepare my mother on her death bed for the peace and warmth she was going to experience. Memorial day 2013 will be 16 years since her passing. Listening to you today was a breakthrough, I think I have finally let go. Namaste!
Dearest Edwina,
sweet soul, thank you for sharing your various notes, so strongly uplifting.. I like the way the speaker & you both encourage openly communicating to help each understand & feel prepared for dying & Spirit-uall living, on both sides, sharing the essential reality of our being.
I lost my dad this May 2020 and it has been the toughest storm I’ve ever had to deal with and I hear time after time of the beautiful place people go to when they pass on. 🙏🏼
@@jesusunitedchurch2542 i miss my dad..passed away 3 yrs ago. God bless your fathers soul. 🙏🏻
i lost my mom recently 2021 but she went from disease cancer at 60 years old though she wants yet to live.. i dunno why so quick (

As I stood next to my dying grandmother’s bed on July 2, 2019, she took her last breath suddenly, her chest thrust upward to the ceiling then she relaxed, I said loudly into her ear; I love you gram! And then, I felt a strong breeze flow past my face, it felt as if it moved my hair and her body relaxed, the labored breath stopped, a single tear was in the outer corner of her eye and immediately, I felt utter joy and relief for her - that her pain was over. I was cheering her on - YES MY GIRL MADE IT!!
Instantly I wanted to share my happiness with her - but much like him, there was no way I could share my joy that I was so happy she was done suffering and she was able to be free.
Amazing woman, I am sure. Sorry for your loss.
She is not lost, but left her best in your heart
I lost my daughter..watched her spirit rise...my grandmother there to receive her. Her short life was indeed a gift. I didn't understand at the time.. Now I could never devalue her sacrifice, with grief.
Wow that's beautifully said. Gave me a different perspective. Thank you❤🌈
What if her purpose was to teach you to grieve?
Religion is the most dangerous weapon ever invented by man just look at what religion can get gullible people to believe
Beautifully said. Thank you for sharing.
How beautiful. Im so sorry for your loss. 💔
For I went through the same thing! But what I saw when I had near death experience... I was climbing stones when I got there. There was people holding trays gold with white robes on and things on their trays ! Then though a cloud there was this white robe sleeve and I went down to the floor crying because I thought I was being judged... but he touched my head and called me child .. For God is real !!! I know when people are going to die by a Touch ! It freaks me out so much!! But people call it a gift to wake them up.. I have had two out of body experience 😌 I use to be a alcoholic and it all went away no more !! I am at peace now ❤️
Crazy. My dad told me he stopped breathing in his sleep one time and saw people in white robes standing next to him. Were you religious before your experience?
There is but one way into heaven and that is by salvation and accepting Jesus as your lord and savior. No one comes to the father, except through Jesus. All else is deception from the fallen one

In 2000 i was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 46 years old. I went through 9 brain surgeries, I was in a COMA on my 7th surgery. As i was told i was near brain dead. During that time i was in the coma, I felt as if i was in a room. I was drawn into this room deeper. i did not walk as i can remember, i floated. (if you close your eyes really tight, you will see speckles of flashing light.) The further i went into this room, I became more at peace. I though about my 4 kids who were very young. But I was at peace knowing they will be fine and i would see them soon. As i went deeper into this room the speckles of like faded away, and it was very very peaceful. When I was in this room I had no worries at all. Nothing bothered me at all. Its very hard to explain.,,,, Then my father who passed away 20 years ago, stepped in front of me. We had a very long talk, at the end of this talk, he said to me, "Sonny you have to turn around, this is not your time." I said to him "yes dad." and i turned away from him and floated, as I went back the speckles of light came back slowly. I woke up to see my sister holding my hand, I had a oxygen tube in my mouth. I pulled the tube from my mouth and said to my sister, "I just got done talking to daddy", she looked at me as if I had 2 heads. she was in disbelief. I know what I saw and experienced. It was real. I tell my experience to people but no one believes me. People think it was the drugs.
It’s all true, just do research on subject and you’ll find PLENTY. congrats v
I have listened to your talk many times because it brings me peace. It resounds in me. It comforts me. As a grief counselor at hospice for 18 years, I referred dying people and grieving people to your talks and they too found peace. Thank you.

I have had so many experiences in my life that have proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that we do not die. I could write a book. To all who have lost someone they loved or who may be facing death at this moment please understand that this life is temporary but your being exists forever. Do not doubt it.
You should write a book ! 😊
@@mollymc Thanks Molly. I have often thought about it but never started it. Perhaps one day.
@@franco634 How do you know for sure? Did you have a NDE? Tell me more🙏🏼
It’s so hard to believe because it’s so good to be true u know?
Will we see our loved ones
Awesome. I saw a comment below criticising his talk as non scientific but I think there is something self evident, deeply truthful about what he is saying that we somehow relate to. I'm glad we're slowly working our way to spirituality, as a society, to have more and more talks like these all over the internet. I found this talk so useful today. I'm chasing a difficult dream and was feeling "this is too hard, too long" but now I'm feeling, I'm lucky I'm experiencing life. Thanks Lewis.
Go for you dream Khalid - you can do it!
Truth always resonates with love and peace.. I hope you have your dream :)
Then what creates personality and such?
@@laurenfarrell202 Ego concieved separation creates our personalities through experiences and beliefs..
Khalid, indeed, there are many other forms of knowledge besides scientific! We have to accept that we will never objective truth of that higher state of reality as long as we are down herein this one. Just have to live life and love each other and try to grow and hope there is in fact life afterward! :) Personally I see evidence of God (a spiritual higher power, the being of light that people see in an NDE) all around me. Just not scientific evidence. :)
i’m here because i crashed my car 2 nights ago and almost died. i’m 17 and i was all alone, ended up with my car sideways in a deep ditch and had to climb my way out. i just can’t even comprehend what happened. everything felt like it was in slow motion and all i could think was that i was going to die.
Take care of yourself and I hope you are doing ok!!
@okay Talking it all out with several different people--even complete strangers--will help you get through this scare to your psyche. Pastors--even if you're not religious--might lend an ear. Friends, family members, (nosy) neighbors! :)
Life is precious. Carpe diem = seize the day and make the most of every one of them.
The same thing happened to me at 17. As I was crashing and rolled the car, time slowed down and it seemed like the crash took forever.
Hopefully it will give you wisdom in your young life that you will use as you get older and wiser
My husband passed almost 2 weeks ago April 9th after 10 years of congestive heart failure. I think he knew several months before he passed it was coming. He kept begging his boys who live out of state to come see him. I watched him barely eat for several months. In and out of the hospital many times since last summer. A few weeks prior we both had one good day together driving around in the car. Finally he went into the emergency room one last time. He was in the hospital for only 4 days as his heart couldn't keep enough blood flowing to keep his organs functioning. He asked to see his mother 2 days before he passed. Our sons were there and our daughter. He told me he loved me and asked to be forgiven for anything he'd ever done. We made up and loved each other more deeply than we ever had. He began looking towards the ceiling and raising his arm as if reaching, and seemed very at peace. He did this maybe 6 times on and off. That last few moments he asked to have everything stopped. IT'S, dialysis machine, oxygen, blood pressure cuff. I told the doctor and we were told his blood pressure would drop enough he would go unconscious. They gave him Morphine to make him comfortable. It didn't take long and he passed very peacefully. In the end he wanted it. Thank you for the talk. It gives me such solice to know he's free. He's happy. He feels peace. I'm grieving and am not in that place where I don't feel any pain. I know that is of my own making, but it is very hard to let go. I look forward to seeing him again when it's my turn. I hope I'm learning what I'm supposed to learn after being in the most difficult time of my life. Caring for an ailing and dying husband.
❤
His voice is almost as amazing as his message.
I had an experience like this just after surgery long ago. I agree ... at the moment of leaving, for me, it was like taking off a heavy diving suit. Like going from a hot, sweaty miserable afternoon to a cool, sweet, clean evening. I think each person's experience like this is different based on his/her own expectations and beliefs. For me, it was a review and release of all the people in my life. There was an intensity of love for each one like flexing a muscle, then the release of this flexing muscle. It wasn't better than what I had, but it wasn't worse either. There just wasn't a sense of better/worse. It didn't fit where I was. There's a long story attached to this experience. I can't say that I would choose to go through it again, but it did offer me something profound and beneficial. I knew in those moments that all the pain and sense of loss and emotion and attachment to physical stuff stays with the body. Nothing was lost but there was no attachment to those things any longer. And it was all OK.
In my experience, I was ready to go. It was such a relief ... so much love there. And the doctors and nurses around me were giving me what felt like electricity (not the paddles but an injection) and all I could think was, "Isn't this interesting..." At one point they turned off the respirator to see if I could breathe on my own, and my body just didn't breathe but I thought, "Isn't this interesting ..." But then, they pulled the tube out of my throat and there was suddenly this nurse with some sort of suctioning device suctioning what I thought might be blood from my lungs and I just felt this profound love for this woman. It was overwhelming! And she was frantic and said, "You're going to have to help me!" (meaning help her get this gunk out of my lungs). I thought, "Oh, I have to help her," and it was this that brought me back. I swear even today that this was the only reason I came back. I wish I could find this woman and tell her.
Wow! thank you for sharing this! I love that this woman inspired you back with her words!
Did u see ur loved oneself
@@jonathancervantes4554 No. What I did see though was a sort of "review" of those I love ... sort of like a slideshow. With each person, I loved loved loved them, then let them go. I didn't hold onto that relationship with them because in that moment I was aware that there's no separation. It's only through that separation that we see those we love as being outside of who we are. Hard to explain but because there was no sense of attachment, there was also no sense of loss.
@@jonathancervantes4554 Sorry it's taken me so long to reply here. The only time I saw loved ones was at the very beginning of this seeming process. Each person's image displayed before me and I loved, loved, loved them with all my heart ... and then I let go of each one. And in the letting go, I felt lighter. It's not that I loved them any less, it's that this part of my experience didn't require me to hold onto to this. Love is all encompassing ... all inclusive. Each individual is merged into it so that no one individual is loved more than others. This is hard to explain but at this point in the experience there's no loss involved. The person we love is always part of us and there's no need to separate that person out into the one we knew in order to love them. (Hope this makes sense.)
I know that there's a strong belief that when we leave this world we reconnect with those who have died before us. This is possible but not necessary. This one life experience represents only a portion of who you are. Same with those who you have known and loved. But for those who hold strong beliefs in seeing loved ones again, I don't attempt to interfere with that. To me, this allows us to relax into this experience.
You also have the ability to connect with these loved ones now while still in this body. All that's required is a calling ... and an allowance. Lots of times people assume that when they remember loved ones or remember their voices, etc., that this is "just imagination" and let this go. A lot is missed in doing this but it's understandable.
I had a NDE in 2005 and it changed my life forever..there’s something on the other side. Be kind a love yourself and others.
he's speaking the truth
all of our differences are gifts to one another. brilliant
I just lost a dear brother of mine today at 4pm on Christmas day, 2020... miss him dearly!.... thanks for the video, is helping me a lot
When I lost my dear brother in 2015 this video helped me immensely. Take great care of yourself and know that you are loved , and one with everything.
I couldn't believe 39 people disliked this mastery talk! If they could open their minds just a little bit more instead of being trapped by ego, dogma and preoccupied knowledge, how much more they can gain from this God's messenger!
After reading tons of NDE books and personally going to Brazil visiting JOHN OF GOD, I am 100% certain that everything happens for a reason, and we are on this planet to learn, and evolve.
Lewis is more like a prominent scholar than a Ted speaker to me. His speaking style is so elegant, and the pronunciation of every word so clear that I was completely mesmerized by his charisma!
Everyone should watch this Ted talk.
Jay from China
It's ok that 39 people didn't like this. They have their reasons and they are valid for what they are going through at this time. We haven't walked in their shoes.
If the dogma you speak of is the gospel you have never had the power of God transform you. Jesus Christ died to set us free not bring bondage. These nde accounts are new age teaching that deny the need for salvation in Jesus Christ, thereby rendering His sacrifice unneeded. He said His death was necessary. I will take that word over a million accounts like this one.
Joe Siegfried In 1984, I underwent an exploratory surgery and died for 3 min 13 seconds due to Anaphylactic shock. The worst way to die, suffocating. Wanting to scream, but no air. The experience changed everything about me. My love of Christ that I found through this short 3min 13 seconds, which would literally take days to describe, gave me new life beyond the first breath that I took again. This is not NEW AGE mumbo jumbo, in fact its an arching of new understanding. An understanding beyond any other man made religion. And with all honesty, every religion is God inspired but man made. Even the Catholic Church, which was my first experience of God, but it was intended to be an extension of Christ and the 12 Apostles. Later, the greed of that Churches hierarchy, changed it into men who sought more than God and that becomes belief in a false God. The New Age Movement is a growth spurt of new found revelations given by Christ, the laying of the hands, the bringing back of the dead. Actually, this movement has many branches, one just has to find the one that is most comfortable to climb. What I learned in death, was beyond the teachings of any religion, and falls into the New Age of faiths rediscovery. It actually shows that faith can come about by Religion, or through Spirituality. Recorded in the Bible and the Lost Books of the Bible is a quote from Jesus, " Wherever thou shall seek me, they shall find me. Look not in the adorned Temples, or the churches built laborously of stone, Rather, lift a stone or a lofty piece of wood, there you shall have your journey met, and there you shall find me waiting. God knows that there are two things that scare mankind more than any other. Those being. Public Speaking and Death. He left the speaking up to us, but in as far as a deeper understanding of death, God has gifted many with the journey of life into death, and then back into life, so that they may be shared with those tired of being afraid.
Rev. Kaelene Lord beautifully written
Not time yet for them.
It's beautiful knowing that our Lord GOD is literally RIGHT there the second you die and have your Near Death Experience (NDE). When we die, we don't have to search for Him or anything, He's literally RIGHT there the second you pass on ready to hold your hand. I love GOD
what, if he is always and in every second "right there", but we are not able to get it?
My Dad said “THATS IT, I’M DONE “ waiting for a couple of days, my older brother & younger sister, flying in from NY Our Dad waited for all of us to been seen by him, shortly after, Our Dad Went in Peace ✝️
My sister was a christian and I know she is with God today. About 1 minute before she passed on to the other side, she told my mom that she saw 2 men in white clothes hovering above her hospital bed and they told her to come. My mom said she looked up and saw nobody. Then she recited the bible verse from John 3.16 and before saying her prayers, she passed on. The truth is: God exist and we need to believe in him.
I had one over 50 years ago, when I was given too much laughing gas by my Dentist. So I didn't have any pain, but I saw the half moon tunnel from my stretcher and saw the bright lights and hear someone behind me say " You are going to see your Father" and was brought back into the dentist's chair. I was very sick for a few days afterwards. I used to talk about NDE's year's later in a Paltalk room and it was there I figured out it was my Heavenly Father I was going to see, not my earthly Father. That is when things changed for me.
Wow, thank you for sharing your experience about your NDE... Also about the risks of Dentistry !! Yikes. I’m 59 and need an impacted Wisdom tooth 🦷 OUT, (oral surgery). And, I have Never been sedated for any Oral procedure. But anesthesia does linger in my system, making me feel queazy for hrs. Can u please share, how did your life change as you hinted, post NDE, Plz?
Hope you are doing super well !! ☘️🌹💗🙏🏻
You are the second NDE I’ve heard of from laughing gas
So we will see our loved ones
I am going through this now after my NDE in November 2011. I am not 100% yet nor may I ever be. But I relate with his experience 100%
What was your experience? I'd love to hear it
i love you
some people really just cant talk about it, because it is to sacred. I felt like I had to tell people about what happened to me, and most people picked it apart, tried to find flaws, blame it on the fever (which came the next day not the night it happened) tried to blame it on medication (which I had not taken in 2 days prior) and if they were religious, tell me it was of the devil. I understand why people hesitate to talk... but I kept talking and today have found a group on FB that people from all over the world come to share, discuss, and talk about what we learned and what we are continuing to learn. It feels a little like that group is part of why I came back and stayed... the opportunity that was to come.
yes! we can't keep quite about it, in spite of all we have to face with others ! :D the problem sometimes is that we can't find human words to apply and describe what happened ! :D no words! just some more or less similar earthly events and things. But We are always short of words to describe what happened. But we keep talking and then all the feelings come back very very diluted ... but we can feel again the wonder, the happiness the joy and the love!!... that amazing excrutiating love :D and then we cry and smile and people think we are a mental case lol we are happy with anything and nothing and our lives really have changed and we see life with totally different eyes and even feel sorry for others whereas before we just felt like killing tehm all!! lol Its amazing and I wish everybody would go there at least once during their lifetime :D
can u tell me the name of the group in FB ? Thku very much :D
I wish my dad could walk through the front door again...but I know his Spirit is enfolded in the greatest joy, peace, love, knowledge. Thank you for this talk
today i almost drowned. i was so scared i saw everyone i loved in my life. i’ve had several panic attacks and i just need a hug.
How are u doing today ? I hope your anxiety is better
Hug 🤗
My son drowned 3 months ago, do you think he was scared? I hope not and giving you a hug
"I don't always have a near-death experience... But when I do, I have it twice!" Lol he looks like The Most Interesting Man in the World. Cool video.
+fritha grimmsdottir Hahahahaha lol, good one!
The Most Interesting Man in the World character was played by actor Will Lyman, whose voice is familiar for narrating programs like PBS Frontline documentaries.
The most interesting man in the 'after- world'
fritha grimmsdottir yeah he does ! lmao!!

I found this an excellent presentation for me and my family as my daughter is in AICU with seizures and may not survive. She is mentally and physically handicapped but has given all of us things to learn from her. I want her to see that love and light and beauty of God and she has done her life work in helping make people better people for caring for her and others like her.
Thanks so much

Listened twice…and for sure will listen again
I love this so much. Sometimes I year for going back home. Not because I'm happy, but because I know that home is not here. This is just school. I've always been connected to the universe. I can feel it in my bones.
Good to hear someone recount a near-death experience in a way that doesn't just confirm their beliefs.. This was a great talk. I'm not religious or particularly spiritual, but what you described is what I hope for.
I was in a car accident which put me in a coma. The only thing I remembered I was in a dark place but felt great peace. I did not see angels or demons etc. it was just dark and very peaceful.
Same here. 🙏🏾
But how were you able to perceive the darkness/peacefulness if it was nothing?
It's called the dark void between this physical realm, and our real home..
Hello from beautiful Montana,
Thanks so much for sharing and caring. As a Hospice volunteer and end-of-life personal historian, I can also testify that death is not the worst thing, but actually one of the best things.
Blessings to you in your important work.

Judy Helm Wright , Thank you and God Bless you for your work. I have had the Privilege of having Hospice available for 2 Husbands, 2 brothers and my Dad..
I remember the 1st time with Hospice, I went for a walk while my husband slept. I was talking to a Nurse and said "..that they were a Blessing! And it takes an incredible person to do this job. May I ask how you do this job? And what brought you to Hospice? .."
She answered "..I am the Blessed one to be able to bring care and comfort to so many. When I was in my late 20s I started going to church. By the time I was 31, I had a calling to become a Nurse for Hospice. Nowhere but Hospice. My faith and trust never wavered and My husband and kids supported me. And here I am, Blessed every single day 25 years later.."
Wow!!

I believe he is 100 percent correct. What a beautiful person. We do not die , we are all one, only if we all believe this the world will be better place to live help each other and understand. No one should be sad. We all are one.
Keep on spreading your beautiful words of experience. Your work is worthwhile!
ive been where you have been...and it took me 2 times and more to get the picture.. the light is love.. the only time in my life ive cried in joy!
A few months ago we.lost our precious Grandaughter.She was a bright light.Her light went out way to soon.She was only eight years old. The Dr.'s said she had a virud
I simply loved the way he explained the beautiful experience he had. Just be loving to everyone and everything. Take time out to appreciate nature and be grateful for all the abundance. Be kind .🙏👍🏽
My near death experience was in 2005. I was comatose, woke up a quadriplegic but recovered completely in record time. While comatose, I envisioned complete love and it was otherworldly. God is love. I met such love. I was not conscious for 3 months and my vision lasted 11 months. The spirit world is happiness forever ❤️
Well we see our loved ones
?
Loved how you said love can untangle any problem
The Gratitude is key and the revelation of your duty is key, my work isn't done and I have to fulfill what God has put me to do.
I almost died from a boat propeller
I flat lined in just before emergency C Section. When I came back, I asked my husband why he kept yelling at me to breath. He said he never yelled at me. My take is there are others who we don’t recognize that care about us. You lose your fear of dying for sure.
🥺
I don't know how this man did not get a standing ovation
Thank you for that wonderful TED TALK. It is as I felt. No matter our religion, our ego's, our distress or happiness as it comes along, we are all on paths to the top of the same mountain. We don't have to be chronically fearful or worried or filled with hate because we are all one.
Noblesse oblige indeed ("nobility obligates"). Thank you for coming back to spread the word. The great spirit needs a lot of ways to get the word out to diverse audiences. Love is everywhere! Believe it.
I was blessed to drown when I was about six...and I remember the tunnel, too, but I didn't get to the because the lifeguard saved me. But even now, at 78, I don't fear the time, but I enjoy the present.
Absolutely awe inspiring. Without Him claiming a Spiritual or Religion. He described the Spiritual traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It is reassuring to have someone share their experiences of dying and then comeback to share the indescribable experiences of Who We Truly are The Soul. Nameste Mr Lewis, thanks for sharing such a powerful experience.
All I can say is “Wow”! One of the best speech I’ve ever heared! Inspiring! And know that our love ones are in pure peace and love and light.
I was on the way out in 2013.... It was by dehydration.... so my gas tank just out and OMG i was on my way up and beyond... Most beautiful sight and then experiece.... All peace is there and all those who have to of gone before
Will we see our loved ones in heaven
"It's YOUR work you need to do, Lewis." Brillant. So true. It's OUR work we need to do. Everyone is out trying to save the world and it's our own saving we need.
You hit the nail on the head
This was the most radiantly beautiful talk I’ve heard, from the most radiant person.
I appreciate this reminder so much, I had forgotten what gratitude I felt recovering from an accident. And what a gift it was.
I hope he knows what great work he is.
Thank you 💛
Thank u for sharing. Never had NDE, but many OBE’s, It’s all true, we are not our bodies 🙏
Such A BLESSING….GOD BLESS and THANK YOU…SO BEAUTIFUL….SUCH SACRED BEAUTIFUL KNOWLEDGE…WOW
For me I was on an operating table looking at light with 4 friends around the table. 2 my friends had passed away and the other 2 passed away 2 years later . The vibe was peaceful and soothing . If God could answer me it would be about that day

My older brother was lying in the hospital bed breathing and, hooked up to Oxygen. The Doctor said he would not live and wanted to remove the Oxygen mask. He said my brother would be gone in about half an hour. He removed the mask, but my brother didn't do that but lay there for a further four hours. I was holding his hand and watching his face. It had quite a few wrinkles as well as a scar on one part. I kept watching, then his eyes were still, and his face became totally smooth. He took his last small breath and I saw his whole face was unlined. He died the second. I watched and his face went right back to its previous state. I knew then that what I'd seen,witnessed was his Soul leaving his earthly body. He looked so calm and still and at peace.
what a great man. I could listen to him allllll day. The Harrison Ford of NDEs
Amazing ...this man can Speak ...what a GIFT
Two people very dear to me were transiting,(dying) years apart. Smiling, they both said the same words; WE GO ROUND AND ROUND. During my ER C-section I had a NDE, as did my baby having aspirated amniotic fluid. I was being prepared by blue Angels and their sweet song. Bliss. Hearing the cry of my baby I returned to my body.
Did u go to heaven
What he says towards the end is exactly what the Hindu holy scriptures of Vedas say and it offers various meditation/yogic techniques to become aware of it in this life itself and not after the death. We can thank those saints and sages all those years ago who compiled these texts based on their experiences.
Gosh, this person is so beautiful physically!
Yes my thoughts exactly. He looks golden too.
He sure is! He is featured in another video on CZcams. It is called, "Beyond our Sight" Documentary. He looks even better in that one.

One of the VERY best talks on this subject I have seen...
Another speaker with a great voice.
Thanksyou, i fell less alone. I had a drunk driver hit me head on while sitting at a light . 55 years old, , was feeling despair at the universe.
My son died of SIDS at 5 months old when I was 18...I hope he went back home and I can talk to him when I go home...
There will always be those who are so firmly entrenched in their worldly 3 dimensional concepts that they will be unable to encompass the reality of other dimensions and continuing life after death. That 's probably ok for such people in order to be comfortable with their present level of awareness . However, life has a habit of confronting us with situations which challenge the foundations of our current levels of understanding. Our reactions to these challenges can be either to put our fingers in our ears and pretend that such things don't exist, or alternatively open our minds and explore them. Only the individual can decide which route they take.
amazing Ted Talk. Gave me some comfort about my relatives
"Who knoweth if to die be but to live….and that called life by mortals be but death?"--- Euripides
What a beautiful man. Thank you for this
Wow!!! The Law of One! The Ra Material! Beautifully told. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. Bless you...Love and Light!
I imagine this is only wonderful if one is going to heaven. Those that are headed south won’t be gloriously joyful. Time to choose now
Honest, beautiful, deep and a great message! Thank you!
He Jesus ask me if I wanted to stay. I thought it would break someone's heart so I said because of that I should go back. He smiled as if this pleased him. And he then sent me back.
How do you feel about that decision, now?
I have news for you: That wasn't Jesus. That was your Higher Self.
@@Eternal_Satyr I have a news for you, you don’t know everything😂
Been there done that got the T shirt. Didn’t get to the end of the tunnel but didn’t want to come back. Was gutted when I woke up in hospital. At the time I was and still are the happiest married man in the world with a 3yr old but the pull was so great I had no thought for them. Since have had many esoteric experiences and have been a messenger at times. I have no fear of dying whatsoever. I feel so privileged !!!
That was delivered so well. It was so captivating and amazing.
What an amazing testimony! God bless you for sharing it.
I have experience Near Death in 1994 and it 100% Similar to what Lewis had experienced !
A mother lost her child and had an amazing near-death-experience together with her child! That's in an interview with host Pegi Robinson from NDE TV, who presents Alba Monn!
I am enjoying the talk as I write. His comments on his first experience of NDE is similar to what I felt the day my Father left the earth. My sons have told me that they felt that before we are born we choose what we want to learn during life and our lives are a method to learn those lessons we wanted to learn. I have since come to believe that it is possible that when Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the Light no one comes to the father except through me" he may have been talking about the soul being the entry through which we go to god.
It is in part why I tend to believe in God but not necessarily in Organized religion.
I talked to this man on the phone today! I have never had a more profound conversation with a customer at work. He only told me about his second death - "you want the real story? I died."
It was a rich and rewarding experience. I'm really looking forward to speaking with Lewis again. I died for about four seconds when I was seventeen, but that was only for four seconds, no coma - the REAL experience he describes came from Salvia Divinorum, which simulates death quite effectively. What a treat!!!
I am really curious how Salvia simulates a NDE....It has been many years but I smoked Salvia several(maybe 6?) times....my recall of the experience was extreme hallucinations that were very focused (visual perception) but ZERO grasp/concept /awareness/nor did I sense the absence of how anything related to anything else.....best I could tell the only thing in existence was that tiny snapshot of perception....which had no relation to my physical location or what was physically present in front of my open eyes....no concept of my existence or the existance of anyone else....in essense total loss of reality including the ability to perceive that loss
I have always believed in Joshua and base my entire life on His words I am the way the truth and the life noone comes to the Father except thru me. I have witnessed my entire family die mostly at a young age yet I only felt peace
Awesome message. Thank you for getting the word out that death is the most blissful thing we ever do❤
Thank you so much...beautiful story and beautiful teaching. Love and light!
AMAZING STORY!!
Love these testimonials.
This talk encompasses everything I have learned about this subject and it is delivered with great humility and knowing. Thank you for reminding me once again of the inner connectiveness of all beings and that we each have lessons to learn always.
Thank you so much Mr. Griggs. I learned so much from you and your experience. You made an improvement to my life.
Thank you so much. That must have been a big day for you and you helped me very much and I also hope that letting us all know your experiences made you feel well too.
Namaste.
Amazingly well explained. Thank You....
So beautiful - and true. Thank you so much!
the best tedx in my opinion... when we don't understand that then what elsewhere we want to start ? this is the fundament.
Excellent video. Wow. He cuts to the chase of the understandings coming from NDEs. He does not even try to defend himself with science...he is speaking experientially. Even without the NDE stuff it is healthy psychology.
I agree 100%! I hope you do great things with your life!
My son Alex died on 10/3/22 of a drug overdose. Forever 28, RIP, he died alone with his dogs in the garage and his dad found him. Fly with the Angels Alex.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful truths. I am encouraged to pursue a deeper spiritual life. ❤️
