How is this guy still an atheist after physically seeing a “pit”, feeling dragged down into it and he instinctively knew he didn’t want to be there. Sir that’s hell
@@Youd876 The pit. He felt its temperature. He felt it was bottomless and felt it sucking him in ALLL while being an atheist so he wasnt bias. How can you people be so blind?
I was in a motorcycle wreck and was in a coma for 2 days. Head injury and broken bones. I had 6 tall angels standing around my bed holding bright swords. It was extremely bright and could barely see their faces. They were all identical. My little brother who died when we were very young came and shook me awake. When I came to, my mom and dad were in the spot my little brother had just been. June 9, 1988.
@@frankiefernandez5252 were you a believer in God and Jesus when this happened? Just curious. It seems this guy was being pulled to hell and didn't even know it. I'd love to hear more about what you saw. Take care!
I had a heart attack last Oct. Nearly died and I was at peace not not afraid. I felt like I was watching it rather than going through the experience. I am a Christian. I'll never forget that peacefulness..
His story reminds me of my granny's near death experience. She saw her dead loved ones sitting at a table having a good time. And then they noticed my granny and shewed her away. That wasn't her time to go. That was over 20 years ago she told me that. She just turned 84..
I'm a retired disabled Texas police officer. One of the dreams that haunts my sleep is of an accident I worked as a police officer. It wasnt a bloody accident scene,it wasn't a graphic accident scene. What I saw was the driver of this suburban that had been T-boned. Everyone except the driver were just fine. The driver had died when the seat belt broke his neck. What haunts me is the smile on his face. I was so sure that this man was trying to play a game on me today I've only took his pulse at his arm I did it on his carotid artery and I did it in a way that was quite rough and almost like I was choking him because I wasn't sure that this man was playing a game. But he was not playing a game he was most definitely dead. It was his smile like he had seen or experience the greatest moment of his life. His smile was like a child who had been lost from it's home and family then suddenly tops the hill and there's his entire family waiting for him. I see his face almost every night.
Thanks for sharing that. It seems very likely that he saw something that made him very happy, otherwise why would anyone smile in such a situation. I've definitely heard of this type of thing before. The dying just before they leave, (if they are at all conscious, that is) see dead relatives and that's not just me saying it, scientific studies have demonstrated it to be the case.
That's amazing. If I had to guess that man was on his way to heaven, and he saw that right before he died. He probably saw the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen right before death and then was taken home for good
Thank you for your service. I'm so sorry for all the horrible things you've had to witness. I Appreciate you and others like you more then I can express. I hate this world for taking good people like you and making you sacrifice so much just to make a difference. I pray the mental scars fade with time and you enjoy your friends and family to the fullest. Again. Thank you so much for serving.
At 23, I was deathly ill for weeks, I recall my spirit standing up, outside my body. I turned back to look at my body still on my bed. In my spirit, I had no fear and was calm. I walked to the door of my apartment and stopped. "If you walk out of your door, you will never return" was the voice i heard inside my spirit. So, I decided to stay here, walked back to my body lying on the bed and lay back down in it. It's over 50 years later.
Due, unless you're a born again Christian, it's a very good thing you didn't walk out that door. Almost everyone ends up in hell, Jesus taught few would make it to heaven. If you want to go to heaven when you do die for real, then: 1) repent of your sins (confess and turn from them) 2) forgive EVERYONE that's ever sinned against you no matter what 3) believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again and ask Him to save you and give you His Holy Spirit 4) Follow Jesus and do the things that please Him (pray, read the Bible, love others, tell others about Him and His love for them and how they can be saved from their sins).
My dad had a similar experience when he was younger. Fell from a ladder and was able to see himself laying there with my aunts and uncles around him. He said he felt sleepy but knew he had to wake up
@@covid699 there’s tooo many of these stories, including an experience of my own on multiple occasions, to regard these as lies. It’s foolish thinking to me. But some people like to think they know it all. I don’t doubt your fathers real story. He probably hardly talks about it but thinks of it daily.
A few weeks ago I was at work and my coworker said "I'm gonna go grab lunch". 20 minutes later we found him dead in his car. This man was alive and well 20 minutes prior. I still can't wrap my mind around it.
This guy says "I was spared being pulled into that pit, and my life was returned to me" and out of the same mouth he says "I'm a full-blown Atheist". Somebody give this guy another round of "Do I have your attention Now".
I am with the emergency services, and after accidents with fatalities, I am always stunned that someone would have had a nights sleep, got up, had breakfast, had a shower and got ready, totally unaware that a short time later they would be gone. Blessings to God to take care us us.
After all of my experiences with existence on Earth... I fully agree. *"Time is the only resource for which no creature may bargain."* 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart & soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge--hope's strength re-steeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, We must see all in nothingness... ...before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ -- Diamond Dragons (book 1)
Death is nothing to be feared. We need to evolve our perception of death. It's just another stage of life, a door we all walk through. Moving on isn't a bad thing.
I had a near death experience when I gave birth to my daughter almost 7 years ago. During my C-section they got my daughter out but I started bleeding to death. There are hours I can’t account for. I woke up with my mom and husband over me crying as I had units of blood being delivered via an artery. My doctor told me how close to death I was. How she was scared and didn’t think they’d get me back. I almost had no blood pressure. That bothered me for a long time. Almost dying. I kept thinking what would have happened if I did die. What would my husband and daughters life be like. It scared the living shit out of me. But as time went on I became thankful for my life. Life is so beautiful and it’s hard to explain it unless you’ve been through it. Now, I am battling cancer. Another reminder how beautiful and precious life is. I want to write letters to my daughter because there’s a good chance I won’t be there to see her off to college. Life is beautiful. I am a believer in God. I wasn’t before but too much has happened to me for life not to be filled with the beauty of God.
I passed away about 10 years ago. Their most definitely is another side, I never was sure cuz I had no proof...now 100% I know it's real, cuz in my case I not only had that experience up there, I came back with a very special and unique gift...I'm able to see them and talk to them now, I've had about 100 souls come through for people, I can describe to them all about the soul on the other side, name, pets, moles, scars tattoos, what they looked like, personality, everything, it's crazy....
My father died recently. Paramedics brought him back but he was sadly in a coma and already gone. It's the hardest moment of my life. I wish that he went in peacefulness and that somebody was there for him. I believe that he stayed in coma for us. Your story fills me with hope. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve had a similar experience. I didn’t know I was on the verge of dying. I had been in and out of the hospital for months. One night, while in the hospital, I had a dream that I was in heaven with my Grandpa. He told me it wasn’t my time and to go back down. Later on, I was by the doctor that I was “spiraling the drain”. It still blows my mind to this day. I was so close to dying and I didn’t have a clue.
My grandfather visited his mother in 1998 when he had two knee surgeries. One of which stopped his heart. He was out for 19 seconds.. Glad you are here with us 😊
Had a similar experience. Threw up 6 units of blood, from severe bleeding ulcers. I passed out, while talking to the paramedics and went "somewhere". Saw a white light (like a bright movie screen) with people walking toward it, in shadows. I was at the top watching and felt wonderful. My grandmother's 'presence' was getting very near and strong, when I came back, in the ambulance after a couple of minutes, "out there". No measurable BP.... Spectacular Experience. Trauma Dr said I was critical and unstable for almost 3 hrs, far longer most anyone can survive. 3 days in icu. Similar experience but I was completely at peace, with whatever happened. I already understood how fragile life is and now,.have virtually no fear of dying.... glad he made it back too.
have u ever watched the movie Soul that disney put out not to long ago? Im not saying that movie portrays certain things right or wrong, but when u said "I passed out, while talking to the paramedics and went "somewhere". Saw a white light (like a bright movie screen) with people walking toward it, in shadows. I was at the top watching and felt wonderful" my mind literally instantly went to that scene in soul when joe falls and "dies" and hes in the great beyond. also when u said "Saw a white light (like a bright movie screen) with people walking toward it" it seemed like the movie portrailed that visual so well its almost scary.
He had to reiterate that he was an atheist numerous times because all of the 11 minutes of him speaking is him describing the spiritual realm. Makes perfect sense
believing in any specific religion or even being an atheist ,, same mindset sort of ,, you are convinced of something where there is no definitive proof.. being agnostic is the more logical , and intelligent position, in my opinion.
@Hosanna Thank goodness , Christianity is dying off. Human beings have technology but it is so obvious in 200 000 years intellectually humans have not progressed much. cave men with cell phones basically . Zero evidence of jesus, btw. Religions are useless.. They can all be summed up in one sentence .. Treat others as you wish to be treated.. easy.. No need for magical mythology. The christian god must love the under educated and intellectually lacking because those are usually the ones that still believe in the bible
@@jfkino1 You need to read a bigger variety of books than the typical black and white god or no god stupid arguments. Religion is less popular these days but god being more about “your mind” and how it creates is taking over. You need to read about the double slit experiment, how your observation affects matter and reality based off that old experiment, read about the invisible “field” that governs all life that’s there but is invisible like air, how everything is energy at its tiniest observation under a microscope, and how your perception determines what you’re capable of seeing and what your incapable of seeing based off the perception you chose for your life. I recommend reading “Becoming Supernatural” by Dr. Joe Dispenza. The book is science and results on a whole another level and it makes life and god turn out to be way different than the typical Bible and atheists bullshit arguments… it doesn’t directly talk about god but it’s special meditations that tap into the field of consciousness makes life and the possibility of a god seem far more complex than we ever expected or imagined. Get out of the typical stupid arguments that have been beaten to death and get into the stuff that’s NOT mainstream because THAT’S where you’re gonna find the truth! The general public is scared of the truth so you ain’t gonna find concrete answers dealing with typical people but instead follow my advice if you care about a deeper truth that almost everyone is unaware of! Get that book and it’ll change your life!
@@user-qe7bt9dz1l Thanks for the response.. sounds interesting . Open to new ideas to contemplate. I dont expect to find facts or truth about reality in my life, however it is more about the journey I think. From my personal experiences , many years ago I considered that this reality is actually like a movie or play. Pre-scripted and we just play various characters . No free will, its an illusion.. In short, that idea came from contemplating my experiences with seeing future events. And other things, which I block now. certain things that were part of my existence were irritating. I think this existence is an illusion in ways. Had this idea years ago before finding out there is the theory of the holographic universe . At this time I had a personal theory that the past , present and future all exist at the same time. And come to find out , some scientists have considered this. From a child I also liked the UFO/ ET subject.. many of the theories I had several decades ago seem to be making it into mainstream thought. Like this entire planet is an experiment by older more intelligent beings.. Which I think these beings have solved the transhumanism thing. They exist in manufactured bodies. As far as simplistic arguments against tradition mythologies/ religions. If people believe in things that obviously dont make sense. maybe even know some basic science but totally disregard it over mythology, you cant get to "out there" with certain theories like you suggest. many people cant even consider and dont even have common sense. Personally I think human beings are just a step above chimps in intelligence, and others a half step.
I used to transport hospice patients and the reaching up and speaking to family members that only they could see was one of the most consistent things I watched dying people do. I’ve never heard many stories of near death experiences where the person still believed in nothing afterward. That’s bizarre to me. He recognized that there is something very mysterious that science can’t explain happening to dying people yet doesn’t even give it a second thought that there’s something more after death
God determines if you have faith or not. If its was meant to be it was meant to be and vice vera. Before you are born everything is preordained and only going to change if you earn that through good works on this planet. If you just coast thru it on autopilot letting your ego lead the way then you will have to eat exactly what was predestined to be put on your plate. This guy was obviously predestined to not have faith in God. He did not create/earn or receive enough good will for the most important part of his destiny to be rewritten. It's why faith is priceless. An absolute jewel.
By your logic, he was created by God with the forethought of “I will make him incapable of having faith and when he dies, I will condemn him for not having something he’s incapable of having to begin with.” This is monstrous. Not to mention completely unbiblical. The Bible talks of predestination in terms of assignment of life mission (what you’ll be meant to do with your life, the talents and gifting and how they are to be used for the glory of God.) Never ever is predestination regarding salvation. God does not desire that anyone should perish but that all would come to Him (2 Peter 3:9)
This man does not have the faith NOT because God denied him faith but because this man refuses to put his faith in Jesus. It is a choice. God honors free will.
@@wingsfk god doesn't have an internal dialogue like that when he created human beings. You are over simplifying it. I don't mind the remedial form of spirituality most Christians ascribe to but it's not what Jesus himself followed or believed in. Jesus and the early Christians taught reincarnation for example. This doctrine was taken out by church leaders later on. Anyway. Have a good one. Hope you find what you're looking for and receive whatever you are working towards
Because it's easier that way, most people don't have the ability to think along different dimensions. And also most people (statistically speaking) are not actually that intelligent if you're going by IQ. Though In a way it's honestly much less stressful to do that in life, let yourself be ignorant to avoid the stress of the things you can never truly understand? Shit dude I almost wish I could do that, but I can't seem to stop thinking of the various ways that what we call 'reality' may not be real at all. And frankly, you don't want to get into that rabbit hole.
@Bob Carter yeah you definitely sound like you're some sort of troll. That or you just lack the ability to comprehend what you read, so which is it? Nothing that I said should suggest that I'm particularly religious, and if I was it doesn't actually mean anything because your claims about religious people being less intelligent than others isn't based in fact. So I don't know what the hell you're on about or why you're trying so hard to hate religion. Maybe sort yourself out. I also don't know why you're bringing religion into this conversation in the first place when no one else was.
It makes them comfortable thinking there is no punishment for the evil they portray here on earth. Its easier for them that way, but the spiritual know they will be punished in the end.
@@mikekhork7821 ... Just holler, "Olly olly oxen free!" and if that works we'll try it on Bigfoot next, but I gotta warn you they're pretty good ... world champs I hear.
This gave chills, the same thing happened to me 15 years ago. I fell into the same black bottomless void, and was overwhelmed with a hopelessness that cannot be explained or imagined if you haven't experienced it. There was no escape, I knew it was eternal. There was nothing but the blackest blackness, no form, no sight, but I could hear. All I heard were terrifying screams, like people being tortured. I had the feeling of something pulling me down further, something wanted me, and it felt like sharp claws grabbing me and clawing at my legs and pulling me down. But I suddenly came back into consciousness and was weeping uncontrollably. Hell is a very real place.
The black hole led to hell. A guy in my church over 20 hears ago said he died and came out of his body too and a black portal like that opened up, he started drifting towards it. He said he knew that hell was on the other end of it. He begged God for another chance and that's when he started going back to his body. After that he became a very dedicated Christian (he was very lucky, few get another chance likt that). If you guys don't want a portal to hell opening for you, then you need to 1) repent of your sins (confess and turn from them) 2) forgive EVERYONE that's ever sinned against you no matter what 3) believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again and ask Him to save you and give you His Holy Spirit 3) Follow Jesus and do the things that please Him (pray, read the Bible, love others, tell others about Him and His love for them and how they can be saved from their sins).
@@brianbabbot3217 Amen! It unfortunately took me a while but I have been working on everything you stated above, and I'm finally getting baptized on September 25th as a 44 year old man. Bless you brother 🙏
It doesn't matter because heaven and hell are human constructs, when we all die we pass through these places, if it's scary it's hell if it's nice heaven, realize that it's all in the mind, there is no real hell for sinners just internal hell from not understanding, but we all go back to the main source, you can call it god, the eternal consciousness, etc.
@@cristohvwell you better receive Jesus because the devil has decieved people that he doesn't exist as well as hell so choose wisely . It is not human imagination. This atheist didn't imagine .
@@joshuaalinda466 my friend, the story of Jesus is the ancient story of Osiris, go do some research and realize it's just a religion, religion serves as a mental program to live your life. I don't mind if you believe, but I don't need religion, I died and had a NDE, I was lucky to have such an amazing experience as an atheist god showed me he is me and I him, we are all God experiencing itself through infinite dimension and infinite perspectives, if you want to believe in Jesus it's ok, if you want to believe in hell and I'm going there that's ok, but I know where I come from and where we all will go, much love
@@cristohv actually Osiris is not Jesus it is nimrod the one whom people worship his statue and that of his mother. The devil has cleverly decieved the world because he imitates the things of GOD. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus shows how hard it is for people to believe that heaven and hell exist yet they will spend eternity in one of the two. The only one who defeated death ,hell and the devil is the one I follow not the others whom are still dead. May God bless you
@@nyfan9215 If you believe that, then don't be mad at God when you yourself enter into that inescapable black pit that has no presence of God in there. Everything that you can think of that is good comes from God. Hell is the absence of God,and everything good. Don't end up there. Repent and seek Christ.
Please, I would like to share my best friend's story with you. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** Tribute to Ethan Lakey czcams.com/video/EhobcQZ6Qb8/video.html
He should at least realize that consciousness goes on after death and explore that. So, he may want to read some books about NDE and find some spirituality that he feels comfortable with. He can thank God that he will be there for his little girls to grow up. It's more than the dying brain having hallucinations, patients have told us what is going on outside the room and even items on the roof of the hospital that there is no way they could have known while they were dead.
This guy continues to explain his near death experience and tries to understand scientifically why he saw his deceased father trying to comfort him.He never gave a hint that that there may be a God trying to connect with him spiritually.FASCINATING!
Yes, why do some see light and others see darkness? Science explains how our brain has a last effort before the death comes that they said explains these things. But, again, why is one of light and the other is dark?
Years ago, my sister's coworker was eating lunch in the office lunchroom and suddenly said, "I feel like blood is running down my face." She then passed out and was dead from a brain aneurysm before an ambulance could get her to Cedars Sinai 2 miles away. Life IS fragile.
My Sister works in a trauma unit. A nurse was sitting with a patient who had been given knock out meds to help with recovery. The nurse came running down the hallway crying. My Sister ask her what's wrong. She told her the comatose man had sat straight up, and with a clear voice said Oh my God, I'm going to hell, then feel back and flat-lined. The Harvey Team were unable to save him.
@ProudLonerThatTrustNo1 thats a lie straight from the devil. I caught demons in a pic and have a testimony that would rock this world off its axis. Everyone needs to know Jesus. Don't say you weren't told. Warned.
@ProudLonerThatTrustNo1 if you wouldn't take a person who believes in God argument why he's real even tho they say it as a fact then you're idea of it being ppls one realities of what they choose to see then yours isn't fact either just cause you say it like it is
A few NDE’s relate of a visit to Hell, but they are taken out of Hell by calling out to God, or Jesus, or by praying. Jesus himself descended into Hell, and rose on the 3rd day to Heaven. That scripture still hasn’t been explained to my satisfaction.
I feel you, earlier this year had a call with someone who was like a grandfather to me. A little while latter after that call he died, thankfully I was able to ask him some really important questions on that phone call right before he passed. Sorry for your loss
@@kugelblitz9365 Thanks who ever you are :) This happened to me many years ago, I was still a child. I still, to this day, like twenty years after, have no explanation. I was told he passed the next morning. I dont know. Maybe I was a dumb child who overheard something that got caught in my conscience, or maybe it was something entirely different. What I do know is that I saw him clear as day, walking through our living room, past my open bedroom door, stopped and looked at me and went into the main living room. As the child I was, shit made me trip out so I was throwing stuffed animals at the light switch, tripping outta my mind cause I knew this is not normal and my mother came from the main living room and looked at me crazy. So yeah, thats what it is. Never experienced anything like it ever since.
@@kugelblitz9365 Im glad you got some kinda closure or what they say. People pass and suddenly one is stuck with a lot of unasked questions and feelings. I hope you are generally doing good my dude, all that aside. Just read this, I dont know you, but I hope 2021 is going okay. People care, but people are too caught up in their own messes. Hahahhahaahahahhahaa. Take care my man, or girl.
I feel you. When I was kid aged maybe 7 or 8, my uncle who I was close to came to me to say good bye. I can't remember if I was sleeping or in that semi sleep kind of place. It was a ball of light but I knew it was him. In the morning my mother told me that he passed away. I already knew. To this day and nearly 50 years later I still think about that and really have no answers. I just açcept it.
Well, I certainly wasn’t hallucinating when my father who by then had been already dead for ten years “appeared” to me in my most distressful time in the middle of the night. I wasn’t sleeping, I was lying there waiting for my friend to return. I didn’t see him, I felt his presence on the right side of me and he was sending me words of consolation to my heart ( not audibly ) that I’ll never forget. No living person can “speak” such powerful words of consolation. Since then nobody can persuade me that life ends with our death, but apart from that experience I’ve had enough ‘visions’ to prove that fact!
About 5 years ago my brother and sister died in a car wreck. Few years later, I OD'd in my car in a parking lot. (Luckily someone seen me and called an ambulance). Anyways, I felt myself starting to pass out until everything went black. I wake up, step out of my car, glance at my limp body and turn around and notice both my brother and sister, about 10 feet away from me. They both had a bright light behind them, like someone shining a headlight (I could just see an outline of their body and faces were very obvious who they were) They both smiled, Said 'It's not your time', turned and walked away. I felt as if I needed to be back on this earth. When they smiled, all I could feel was this overwhelming peace I've never felt before in my life. Something I can't even describe really. After that, I woke up to a whole bunch of people around me (EMT) and I guess gave me a ton of Narcan to wake me up. I really wanted to go with them but, I felt like I couldn't physically walk toward them. (Like something was holding my feet down to the floor) I still struggle to this day with seeing that. Still trying to find a purpose.
Because NDE are different in all cultures ! Your nde will depend on your beliefs. You don't see Muslim or Hindu nde seeing jesus ! This is true what the buddha said. That your conscious can create the afterlife as it creates thoughts and emotions
But the bible is proven to have been written by men and used to control/rule men. It has man-like contradictions in it. It’s not a book from God. Yes I agree, how can he be an athiest after that he should learn to appreciate God who gave him his precious life.
@@prabshiro He is an atheist and knows nothing of The Word of GOD (Bible) and he's still an atheist after his near death experience yet he experienced exactly what is described in the Bible as Hell (The Bottomless Pit). That's not "his conscious creating an afterlife". It's GOD showing him his fate if he doesn't repent and accept salvation through Christ.
Extremely healthy and very fit guy here, and never had a single day in a hospital or a surgery in my life other than tonsilectomy as a small child--but 2 months ago I was hit with a serious infection and then 2 weeks later got covid on top of it--in the emergency room the Dr said you're a very sick guy and we'll do everything we can for you... Within a few minutes I was hit with an overwhelming peace and calm, and felt ok if I were to go.. I wasn't worried about dying at all in regards to myself, but I did have an deep concern about letting my Wife and family down--I was worried about their future and their grief, not myself. With the appropriate medicine I rallied and came back--the first thing I did was tell my Wife of the peace and calm I had experienced, and then I immediately made changes to an existing will to handle things quicker and easier for the benefit of my WIfe and Daughters--even though I have always been a loving Husband and Father, the experience gave me a new perspective about caring even more deeply for others. As for death I'm not worried about it--I just don't want to be there when it happens..
Amazing how he was almost dropped into an inescapable hell, and his life was spared, and yet he still doesn't thank or even acknowledge God for giving him another chance at life.
Or why not listen a little more closely to what Sebastian said , he said Im an atheist. So that would explain why he didn't thank God and like a normal rational person he probably thanked the Doctors .Also he didn't say anything about an inescapable hell he said Pit .
@@ledhendrix5054 BUT that pit he described WAS hell. You're not getting it. Everything this atheist described was outer darkness that was described in the scriptures, but I won't waste my time explaining it to you further. You'll have to search for yourself.
It’s absolutely real, folks. I’m not religious at all, but I have severe epilepsy that manifested in my mid twenties. And I died. I had a massive seizure, and probably a stroke, and when I went into the seizure I just floated out of my body. I was above myself, watching everything that was going on below. I thought I was dead, and I floated away from the scene because my family was watching me die and I couldn’t bare it. I don’t have any absolute truth to offer, but it seems that there is a positive, loving, and beautiful place that people go and then there is a dark, awful, hate filled place that others go. Just spread love and kindness, positivity and work to make things better for everyone. It sounds corny, but I don’t ever want to know what is inside that pit that this guy saw.
@@michaeltoews2072 Yep, I was a Christian when I made this CZcams account, and to this day, my family are all Christian, and I love and respect Christians and Christianity in general. @JJ H, I never rejected Christ when I moved on from my Faith. I think he was great, and I’ve read the entire Bible a number of times. Christ’s message was a message of love and forgiveness, and a person could do a lot worse than a Theology like that. I have Sikh, Muslim, Atheist, Mormon and even Buddhist friends, and I truly believe the ones with a sum total of mostly good interactions during their lives will go to Paradise after death. I’ve known people who use Christianity as justification to act like they’re better than unsaved, and spread negativity and even hatred in their lives, and I believe that those people will get to see the pit after death. But I firmly stand for Religious freedom and I love my Christian brothers and sisters.
He keeps stating over-and-over that he's an athiest. Yet, he doesn't seem to make the connection to being pulled into a dark pit, upon nearing death. Does he not wonder why he hasn't seen a bright light and felt at peace, as others have? And, he's going to write a book? It is my sincere hope, he reads The Book.
There are atheists who have also seen some bright light and felt at peace, it has nothing to do with what you're talking about. Everyone has different experiences.
@@veritasabsoluta4285 could be more like , those atheists had a change of heart or belief at that moment , they weren't resisting like he was, and even if they still don't believe after , I'm sure sure have some kind of "respect" for the possibility of a God.... unlike this guy
@@nick4281 hormones are profoundly powerful.....near death experiences are the effects of a massive hormone response to ease us into death without distress. & the body does everything possible physiologically to prevent our death......try dying, you'll be in a position to argue.
Thank you for sharing your story, sir. I hope that you will read my post. You are blessed to still be on this side of the ground as are all those who are alive. I totally believe your account and the experience you shared. I also believe in the Bible and literally records a bottomless pit it’s as a place of unimaginable torment the only way of escape is through Jesus the Christ. All who call out to him will be rescued from that awful place.
I’m was thinking the same thing. He didn’t see a white light above him, he saw a black bottomless pit beneath him. That scared me when I heard that but then he said he was an atheist and then it made sense.
He doesn't realize that pit is still waiting for him. The pit is forever patiently waiting. Pray for laborers to cross his path and give him the truth about Jesus.
I don't think it was hell, it could be the sensation of getting separated by the body as this often will give the feeling of falling down. This is widely known in the astral projection community
@@amadeovalentino2088 it sure is but according to the all knowing book, fire is a very big detail in hel. And like you said it's more than that, to which this guy described nothing of that sort of shit. Religious folks are just projecting on this man's story
@@maxmoncada4272 he sure as fuck didnt say hes going up as in heaven, but he literally said I felt myself being pulled down into a pit. Like how its described when your pulled down into a DARK fiery pit. DEVOID OF LIGHT AND GODS LOVE. But yo keep being blind bro
@@amadeovalentino2088 it's so appealing you didn't even see the contradiction in your reply to me. Dark FIERY pit. But he felt no flames, no demons calling to him so that they can begin his eternity if being tortured and heckled.
I remember a story my mother told me, as the husband of her friend was dying at night, she encountered her husband in her dream reaching out for her, she woke up, went back to sleep and discovered next morning that he had passed away
I was rushed into hospital with status epilepticus and my heart had stopped, I could swear that my passed mum, dad, and Nana told me it wasn't my time but it felt like nothing I've ever felt before pure elation like nothing mattered. Fast forward about a year and my older brother died at 38 💔 it still makes me wonder if what I saw/felt was actually real and not a delusional hallucination?!
@@Anonymous_Prole it’s not nonsense. He literally just described hell in the video? How can you not believe in God after that?God loves you so much, more than you can ever imagine.
God is not a hateful God. He is holy, which means he’s perfect and doesn’t do anything wrong. Humans are not like that. Like me, I have trouble sinning too of course.We live in a world where so many bad things happen. Satan is real too. God will always be more powerful than him though. Demons tremble at the name of Jesus. They are afraid of God because God has so much authority.God understands that this world can be cruel at times. He knows that humans have a hard time with sin. That’s why he sent Jesus to die for you and every human being. It breaks Gods heart when someone is sent to hell, don’t doubt that. But he is holy, he can’t accept everyone, unless they turn to him. If you turn to him, of course he will accept you💖 he’s waiting for you. He is not some hateful , angry guy that wants you to go to hell. He’s loving and slow to anger. Not telling you to do a bunch of terrible things though. I’ve abused Gods grace before, it was a terrible mistake. I shouldn’t have done that. But just wanting to let you know that God is not a hateful God but a loving God. Hes your Heavenly Father. He wants a relationship with you. He wants to help you when you need help. You just need go to him and ask for help and he’ll help you. He wants to know how your day went, everything cause he cares for you.
Life is so weird to begin with. We are all existing here right now on this giant rock in infinite blackness. Why?! It's bizarre. Why is it so hard to believe there is some other existence beyond this weird one?
To them, the thought of us having a creator is far fetched and hard to believe. But to me, the thought of us evolving from bacteria on a precisely placed earth (an accident in their opinion) in a perfectly situated solar system (also an accident to them) is extremely hard to believe. They try so hard to be rational about our existence, so much so, they have become irrational. But a creator makes way more sense, and to me, it's the logical conclusion. I mean how can an 'accident' be so perfect, complicated & precise??
@@bigjerm1631 Also when we are close to being able to create virtual existence ourselves.. Science is showing how easy it will be to create a matrix in 50 years.. How could we guess what our universe was made from.
I don't know why, but yesterday during the day I suddenly got an over whelming emotion that I couldn't quite define...But I started thinking about all the experiences I've had in my life and how profound it was to have been here on Earth experiencing all these things for all this time. I almost got the feeling that that is one purpose of our existence as human. Don't know why I responded to your comment, but I had to pass that on.
There are thousands of NDE's where the person floats away sometimes miles away from their bodies and see and hear things. Their stories are corroborated by friends, family, doctors, nurses etc. DMT can't do that.
czcams.com/video/PZjx_TxvYSw/video.html&feature=shares I was clinically brain dead for 3 days medically recorded and there is no way its my brain that creates the consciousness. We are all here to gather ourselves into something we love.
Listening to his Near death experience I was thinking the exact same thing! I don't know if he knows about Jesus Christ but hopefully he will read these post and give his life to God through his son Jesus!
Thank you for giving blood. I am chronically anemic. I’ve had blood 3 times, saved my life too. I wish I could donate but I cannot. I have iron infusions regularly and it helps so much. Again THANK YOU to all the blood 🩸 donors.
"O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit."--Psalms 30:3 "To You, O Lord, I call; My rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You are silent to me, I will become like those who go down to the pit."--Psalms 28:1
I too experienced an NDE. I had double pneumonia & was unconscious for 8 days. I remember little except this overwhelming knowing of a greater love & peace. There are no words to express the euphoria in our language. Each minute after I awoke, it drifted away. That experience changed me...i don't fear death. It was incredibly beautiful.
I have been through this alive and well lying in my bed when I was 13 years old and then again lying in my bed thinking about life when i was 19. I dont want to tell anyone the rest of that story.
This guy needs major prayers. I mean he’s still trying to rationalize almost being dragged to hell. This is so sad. I pray he finds the way. The truth. And the life. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
My spleen ruptured in 2013, luckily I was already on the surgery table. Needless to say, my grandmother showed up after I left my body. She passed 3 years prior. She would NOT let me stay with her let alone even leave that room! My boys were 3&5 at the time and told me I had to stay to raise -her- boys. I woke up a week later in ICU. I'm not religious either, but I 100% know that we are more than a biological body. It's been 9 years, life's bullshit has me in a really difficult place right now and I'm struggling to cope so reminders like this video of how my view of the world flipped 180° after my experience help a lot.
@@dootdoot94xo44 yeah no thanks. You can keep your fairy tails if they help you sleep better at night but you, nor anyone else, can convince me of anything other than what I have personally experienced. You can condemn me to "hell" if it makes you feel better but I'll still sleep just fine knowing it doesn't exist. Now you can FRO somewhere else. ✌️
The man is definitely shook from that experience. I would like to ask why he is still so committed to his atheism after realizing that our life, bodies and consciousness are an absolute miracle. I pray that he crosses that line into faith and trust in God.
I think this guy is at a basic level of consciousness prohibiting him from seeing truth even when it is pulli g him into the depths of hell. He is an amateur and rogan couldnt find a decent guest that week
@@anthonywandowicz8084 Yea that and prolly too embarassed to go there. His atheist buddies "could" drop him and make fun of him. Staying atheist is the easy and comfortable path in this world causing less issues for him. Majority, when provided two paths, most will always choose the easy path with the least friction. Poor conclusion from him tho. He is still very green behind the ears or just mad ignorant and stubborn. Anything but wise.
@@myview2543 Wouldn't that be agnostic. Atheist means you specifically do not believe it God. I found it wild that he was being pulled into the depths of hell, came out, and doesn't even seem to consider the possibility of a God and afterlife.
When I was about 19 I witnessed a lot of beatings and stabbings in prison, it got to the point where i'd see a stabbing happen and just start rushing around my unit gathering snacks and such in preparation for being locked in my cell for a long time. Sometimes a normal non-fatal stabbing can result in being locked down for a couple of days, deaths can be longer because they bring in the outside police. So many close to death experiences In prison.
I think that it's interesting no matter how many times he states he's an atheist his terminology is completely pampered with biblical adjectives and nouns That's such a shame he can't see that it's the bottomless pit where he won't escape next time

Shoot...... Move to a rural area. (Real 1's are still appreciated by many) That's what I did after I was yelled at by a jigglypuff for holding the door for her. *I truly believe the big city areas are meant for those who want to consume rather than produce* Both areas are needed, you just have to figure out where you fit better -IMHO
As a child getting picked up by my mother coming home from school. I fell asleep in the car ride n had a weird dream. I could see a light but had no eyes. I could feel this light very warm. I noted how warm it felt even tho had no body. Was very strange unlike nothing else n I was self aware looking at myself I was nothing just a floating entity n I heard a woman’s voice near the light call out n gently say “it will be ok” over n over a few times before I woke up. We were stopped in traffic ambulances to the side of the road n sad n unfortunately an Amish woman was struck by a car n didn’t make it. I always thought the dream was unlike other dreams n feel like I witnessed maybe an angel take the woman’s soul up? Never forget that
My sisters husband, who I truly saw as my brother, Fernando Augusto Lujan Jr, unfortunately passed away due to a brain aneurysm on Dec 7, 2020... 39 years old, totally healthy guy very fit and very active, yet the hand of fate decided to rip him away from us. I miss him every single fucking day. He came home from work, said hi to his wife dog and me, then went to the bathroom, sometime during, a vein in his brain burst... we were too late. Terrible circumstances that nobody could’ve predicted. Say what you think Ask what you want Express how you feel You’ll never know if it’s your last chance
Tell your story here.. I am listening. ALso, did you get your life right with JESUS? I mean, in this video the guy literally almost went to Hell and he doesnt even realize it. Its hard to watch him talk in this interview and say he is still an athiest. How sir? When something obviously Evil exists on that other side and you almost went there for an ETERNITY!!!!. SMH
What happened? Y'all better be tying to understand what that was because no omw is making it out of this place alive. It baffles me how y'all went through something scary and yet you're in no hurry to make sure you're good the next time around, that's insane to me it's like hello!!! WAKE UP
After 26 years since my NDE I can’t find my peace trying comprehend why I had been sanded back in to my body. Nothing ever can possibly be compared with that experience of love itself.
Go to JeffMada podcast NDE channel, you will find so much Comfort❤️🙏........we never get over it, we just learn to live w/ the loss.......but, I’m sure he would want your life to be sooo happy.........
@@codyallensiebert lost my dad dad weeks ago too. He was 52 and I am only 20. He died from cardiac arrest, so out of nowhere I am ok, I think he’s in a good place, just missing the time we would’ve spent together on this world. Good luck to you
One time I jumped in my car and turned the key to start it and the radio was all full blast maximum volume.....and that's the story of my "near deaf experience"
I had an nde a year ago. I collapsed from a bacterial infection while to get labs at the hospital. my nde was so, so gorgeous I really didn't want to come back. I fought to not come back, but a tremendous force told me 'no' and pushed me back through a heavy door. that same moment I woke up in the ER with an army of nurses and doctors yelling at me and each other. I was told my BP was 0. I was so mad they revived me. that was a year ago and I think about it every day and I'm still mad I couldn't stay. lol
@@graciepie7124 I don't believe in organized religion - I think it's a tool for control/oppression. I believe in a divine power that we can't describe or define. I believe this divine power is a source that we all belong to and come from. The purest form of love, I suppose. So I guess I'm closest to agnostic although I don't necessarily define myself as that. 💕
What he was experiencing was the Void of his beliefs. He said multiple times he believes in nothing. The universe gives you what you believe. In his case it's Nothingness/The Void. If he doesn't change his beliefs he will experience this again when actually passes away.
@@mars437 why do they always seemed determined to prove there is nothing? Why would anyone even want to believe that??? Always makes me wonder... Like, I have always known there was more, long before I had any idea of religion or anything. I feel bad got these kinds of people. It’s sad. So empty
@@greyisokok3938 a black pit to anyone running from danger is salvation. Also everything that is, everything that always have been, is indeed a part of our creator and was created by our creator. The question comes by asking ; are we afraid by thinking our creator separates good from bad and that our creator isn’t associated with evil or are we afraid because we’ve lived through it to know for sure ? There’s beauty in all things, violence births love, and love births violence. Death births new life, and life births death. We see it in plants, fungi, bacteria, human species relationships and so on. If you don’t believe in god, you can look around you. My opinion is that we should at least be gentle with anyone who is confused and still tries to find a stand they can place their faith into. Because no matter what you believe, in the end life will continue beyond the mind can imagine. If you exist on this reality, you are a part of the whole, our god and creator. Anything that exits is allowed to exist. If you love god out of fear then you’re missing out to what I believe the beauty of life. Maybe if we loved god out of respect then we can truly understand how much god cares for us beyond what our society has raised us to believe ; that good and bad are separate, and we should stay away from the other. You don’t have to believe that the earth is a sphere, or that the sun provides us with light, or trees start from seeds. Because either way it’s always a fact regardless of your beliefs. We should be more gentle with each other, regardless of our beliefs and we should learn to listen at what other people are feeling or how they see the world than forcing them to believe what we believe. Because If it works for them and they’re doing okay then it does work for them. That’s my opinion
As an atheist who been through that and you felt like you were being pulled into a bottom pit; I’m no spiritual genius but I think god is clearly saying start gettin to know him.
It astonishes me that this gentleman can have this experience, realize that life is a miracle, and, to use his word, 'sacred,' but still be an atheist. How is this possible? He saw the pit, he saw his father, he was granted mercy and returned to his daughters. And still he is an atheist? Where does he think the miracle of life comes from? Perhaps his journey continues, perhaps that's why he was permitted to return to life... but surely... SURELY... this path leads inexorably to the only possible destination... to God.
I had a NDE during a mushroom trip. Everything went black and there was a staircase leading up to a door of light. I walked up the staircase and was hit by an overwhelming light that felt connected to me. I felt a sensation of spinning and saw a glipse of my grandma when she was much younger. It was incredibly vivid and I don't fear death anymore
Or what comes after... It’s not always good. Watch I SURVIVE “BEYOND AND BACK,” and you will be shocked. There are two series. I survived, and I survived-beyond and back. That second one is the one. Some people have incredible positive divide experiences, and some see hell, or the sorting lines on the way into hell, and all the lost souls with no chance of escape, and the dementors who mind them as they are sorted, and this came out before Harry Potter. The vivid descriptions of both the good and the bad... 🤯🤯🤯That show blew my freaking mind. It was really changing things, so they took it off the air, and now I believe HULU bought the rights, but for a while the only way you could view the episodes was to pay $30 per half an hour episode.... I’m telling you, it will change you forever!!!
As a retired medical professional who worked in the O.R. keeping patients such as you alive under anesthesia, I really understand how blessed you are to be with your family. I am so thankful you made it and thank God that you are here with all of us. Your words are so profound and true. Thankyou for this interview.
But the comments section is full of people who think they can fully explain the supernatural on their end, having not even had his experience, and that’s fine?
Everything outside our understanding is supernatural until we incorporate the knowledge. The knowing is what transforms these phenomenon from "magic" to science.
I came here after watching Howard Storm's NDE. Howard, who was also an atheist, tried to avoid that "black pit" too. But, he had no choice and ended up there anyway... The way Howard describes the darkness is absolutely terrifying and it's a place you do not want to go. Pray to God you don't end up there and thank Him you have a second chance at life! Life is a gift and is truly sacred!
Joe needs to have more NDEs on his podcast. I had one and the experience was unlike anything you can imagine. I was dead for a few mins and completely popped out of my body like a floating bubble. It was beautiful it’s to much to explain but wow. You realize your energy
It happen the same to me a couple of times during sleep paralysis. It was incredible. Did you control your movement when it happen? I could do it, but always felt afraid to go far from my body because I didn’t know if I could return.
@@ronsimard340 Could be true, but VERY stupid considering the alternative! Look good in front of humans for 75 to 100 years and go to HELL for eternity!

And I have! Also.. I'm proud to be a Christian and proud to say I love Jesus with all my heart! People can try shaming me but it will NEVER work!!!
I witnessed two people pass away peacefully but my friend whose wife is hospice nurse, told me a story I've never forgotten. She said the patient was an elderly man and that when he began to "pass" he suddenly looked terrified and started screaming that his feet were on fire. I remember getting chills and replied half jokingly that either he was descending feet first into hell or his feet were really hot. I couldn't get over the thought of this person starting to pass on to the other side and a pit of fire opening up to envelope him. As soon I heard Sebastian mention a dark pit I instantly remembered this story. To be honest I was a bit shocked that after his NDE his views hadn't changed on God or the afterlife. Having a NDE experience is so profound and something that seems so clear in your mind for the rest of your life. I had an NDE as a small child when I almost drowned in a river. I remember struggling over and over again to get air and the exact moment when I eventually gave up and sunk under the water. I don't remember any pain but I do remember seeing the sun or a bright light shine through the murky water and even though I was very young I somehow knew I was dying. I suddenly felt like I did a forward summersault out of my body and I started moving upwards. I was over the river and saw the adults and commotion; then the next thing I knew I was back on land crying and in extreme pain. My mom said she never told me about the experience because I was so young and she hoped I would forget - instead I startled her years later by telling her I remembered the day I died.
Thank you for sharing your experience - please May I ask a question, when you told your mother that you remembered your NDE and saw what was happening from above, did your mother confirm what you saw
@@mrsq117 she did confirm what happened and what is even spookier is my aunt was on the house boat further away taking pictures of the river. There are two pictures that show me in the river and them pulling me out lifeless. My mom felt guilty that she had not seen when I went under initially. :(
Doctors and nurses, especially those who work in hospice care see and hear all kinds of terrifying things as people die. Most do not talk about because they do not want to be thought as crazy by their peers, but more and more of them are telling their stories. EATS experience some crazy stuff, too.
It’s so weird same thing happened to me but I never thought of it as NDE. I almost drowned too as a child. Yeah, I watched that bright sun, blue sky, fluffy clouds when I stopped struggling and just allowed myself to go down under the water. It felt like the most peaceful and brightest day of my life.
I talked to my father through a medium after his death. She knew things only I would know. Secret things. It was incredible. My father said the after life is more than our minds can comprehend
I had a NDE and I was on a golden pathway but I did not had fear or lost I was at peace I died from drinking two much nightquil try to ful bottles at the same time I was born in 1987 on 7/14 I always felt like a outcast and did not belong here on earth I stil feel that way anyways the next day I was cryin and askin god why did you put me back on earth I tryd tellin my family about it but thy called me crazy and was nuts I wish I can tell em about it but if I do thy will just think I’m crazy I feel like I don’t belong here on earth I went though depression and was sad after it I went in my room and looked up near death experience CZcams videos about it tryin to conpeare my nde two other nde I don’t have a brother anymore he died at age 17 in 1989 I miss him and my dad died at cancer and I think now I’m gettin cancer so listening to others NDE beings me peace I don’t feel like I belong I feel like I’m lost and don’t belong here I miss heaven but it was nice I came back two life on my own thanks for testimony I still get emotional sometimes thinkin about my near death experience back in 2011 I don’t liv in that house anymore but I’m close to it it’s in the order town I don’t know how I’m goin to take it when my mom dies I’m goin to be in a dark place I miss heaven I felt like I was home thanks for your testimony your savein souls
Sebastian, I thank God that you are still with your wife and girls. I had a major heart attack and had a vision that asked me if I wanted to live or die, the part I still can’t wrap my head around is that the paramedic also saw and heard the vision. He started praying out loud. It was a freaky situation. I have two adult children. I’m ever more glad for you than myself….
Reminds me of a book I bought: "Hello from Heaven", by Bill and Judy Guggenheim. It's a collection of real people with their After Death Communication stories. One chapter is full of stories, where there is a witness to this ADC. I've got lots of books like that, gives me a bit of hope. I hope you stayed in touch with this paramedic? He sounds like a really good person, to experience something so profound, wow. If that was me, I would want to hang on to such a person, and stay in touch. All the best, Michael, hang in there.
I know that feeling, I nearly died while travelling when I was 20yrs in Asia. That moment you nearly die but you return to life and that feeling of how incredible and sacred and precious the gift of life is. Also the fear of hurting my parents when they find out I died and back then all I could think was 'boy I'm going to get in trouble from mum'.
Remember asking my babysitters husband what it felt like to die when i was like 13... (He died from pancreatic or liver cancer) but was brought back before he died 2 years later.. and it will always stay w me... He said.. "it was the most relaxing and peaceful sleep he has ever felt. Warm... Wonderful.. no stress no worries." makes me feel better to talk to someone who has actually died..
I have had a NDE experience. I now have a pacemaker. My heart stopped and my granddaughters were in the kiddie pool. When you heart stops it’s like suffocating. All I wanted was fresh air so I stepped outside to the back deck. My wife called the ambulance. I had two granddaughters one has just received her heart transplant the other a perfectly normal healthy child. I didn’t even believe in auras. The thing is that while I was dying they had fuzzy rainbows 🌈 around them. But here’s the thing even though they had the same exact color bathing suits ( new) standing in the same sunlight ( neither shadowed) . But they had distinct different colors. My heart patient granddaughters was more blue , green pastel, purple . My healthy granddaughters was bright pink, yellow, and red. Less pastel. The ambiance arrived, I was treated monitored overnight, and given a pacemaker. The thing is that I was agnostic at best, and atheist at worst like this man I was raised by atheist. My parents were well educated people. I had read every National Geographic, popular science, and readers digest we had subscriptions to all. Here’s the thing. As I was lying in the hospital bed under observation I couldn’t reconcile what I had seen. Particularly ,because had you said auras to me prior to that day I would have laughed at you as I didn’t believe in such nonsense. Yet there I was dying looking at some kind of life energy that blended together between them. Why were they different colors? If it was the chemicals in my brain they would have been identical auras. This was not explained by science. It in fact could have only been a supernatural explanation. I had been interested in the Bible merely as a curiosity, but if I decide I want to learn about something I seriously study it. I had studied ancient cultures , Mesopotamia, Babylon, Samaritan , Egypt enough to have a general understanding. I spent more time with my Bible study only ,because I was interested, and knew that Christians were avid believers that was a curiosity to me, and if I had a authentic conversation I wanted to know a little more about it than some of the other interesting cultural things. As others certainly would. My own mother was a multicultural education major who taught us lots of cultural things. This event was something unexpected. I started studying Christianity with a different perspective. The possibility of a after life became real to me with my NDE. Even though I didn’t lose consciousness as my heart started beating again luckily. I still needed a pacemaker however I was lucky. The funny thing is I have never gone to church. I before, and now listen to good Bible study preaching on utube, and learn the Bible through the many guides on utube. But I wasn’t on the fence about God anymore. The more I learned the more things started to fit with a lifetime of study of science, and ancient historically things. There is a saying in the Book of Thomas gnostic Text from the Nag Hamadi library. It’s something like this “ seek , and continue to seek until something is given “. I now know exactly what is given. The eyes to see, and ears to hear in a undeniable supernatural Holy Spirit experience. A ancient process of awakening to the spiritual realm. Some people in some religion call it activating the third eye. Whatever it is it’s very real, and exactly as described in scripture. The mirror of the bridal chamber. The Agitation, Marvel, and Repose I was born from. This is the experience 👇👇👇👇 facebook.com/100044617180546/posts/391662768997626/

This is very true... the body is so complex and it just takes a trigger or 1 thing to malfunction in the body's processes. This can cause a cascade that can quickly kill you. Scary to think about but makes you realize how delicate life can be.
Life is precious. 3-d life is a rare phenomenon. People need to treat it as such. And if they're not ready to welcome it in a cruel world then it suffers, and many suffer the same.
I've not had an NDE (although probably came close more than once) but have had OBEs. It changes you forever when you realize you are still you...but standing outside your physical body.
How is this guy still an atheist after physically seeing a “pit”, feeling dragged down into it and he instinctively knew he didn’t want to be there. Sir that’s hell
How do you know? what if its the brain end the life because you did not magic world to help you.
I would be a believer of hell after that experience too 😳
Don't be an idiot. He had lost most of his blood. An oxygen-deprived brain produces all kinds of crazy sensations.

I was in a motorcycle wreck and was in a coma for 2 days. Head injury and broken bones. I had 6 tall angels standing around my bed holding bright swords. It was extremely bright and could barely see their faces. They were all identical. My little brother who died when we were very young came and shook me awake.

I had a heart attack last Oct. Nearly died and I was at peace not not afraid. I felt like I was watching it rather than going through the experience.
I am a Christian. I'll never forget that peacefulness..
Amen 🙏

His story reminds me of my granny's near death experience. She saw her dead loved ones sitting at a table having a good time. And then they noticed my granny and shewed her away. That wasn't her time to go. That was over 20 years ago she told me that. She just turned 84..
God bless her! She sounds like a wonderful woman!
I'm a retired disabled Texas police officer. One of the dreams that haunts my sleep is of an accident I worked as a police officer. It wasnt a bloody accident scene,it wasn't a graphic accident scene. What I saw was the driver of this suburban that had been T-boned. Everyone except the driver were just fine. The driver had died when the seat belt broke his neck. What haunts me is the smile on his face. I was so sure that this man was trying to play a game on me today I've only took his pulse at his arm I did it on his carotid artery and I did it in a way that was quite rough and almost like I was choking him because I wasn't sure that this man was playing a game. But he was not playing a game he was most definitely dead. It was his smile like he had seen or experience the greatest moment of his life. His smile was like a child who had been lost from it's home and family then suddenly tops the hill and there's his entire family waiting for him. I see his face almost every night.
Damn that's trippy AF !!
Thanks for sharing that. It seems very likely that he saw something that made him very happy, otherwise why would anyone smile in such a situation. I've definitely heard of this type of thing before. The dying just before they leave, (if they are at all conscious, that is) see dead relatives and that's not just me saying it, scientific studies have demonstrated it to be the case.
That's amazing. If I had to guess that man was on his way to heaven, and he saw that right before he died. He probably saw the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen right before death and then was taken home for good
Thank you for your service. I'm so sorry for all the horrible things you've had to witness. I Appreciate you and others like you more then I can express. I hate this world for taking good people like you and making you sacrifice so much just to make a difference. I pray the mental scars fade with time and you enjoy your friends and family to the fullest. Again. Thank you so much for serving.

At 23, I was deathly ill for weeks, I recall my spirit standing up, outside my body. I turned back to look at my body still on my bed. In my spirit, I had no fear and was calm. I walked to the door of my apartment and stopped. "If you walk out of your door, you will never return" was the voice i heard inside my spirit. So, I decided to stay here, walked back to my body lying on the bed and lay back down in it. It's over 50 years later.
Due, unless you're a born again Christian, it's a very good thing you didn't walk out that door. Almost everyone ends up in hell, Jesus taught few would make it to heaven. If you want to go to heaven when you do die for real, then:
1) repent of your sins (confess and turn from them)
2) forgive EVERYONE that's ever sinned against you no matter what
3) believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again and ask
Him to save you and give you His Holy Spirit
4) Follow Jesus and do the things that please Him (pray, read the Bible, love others,
tell others about Him and His love for them and how they can be saved from their sins).
Something you never forget about. 50 years later and you still remember. God Bless you

Only someone that is a fool believes there is no God. The elites worship Lucifer. They think atheists are the dumbest of the world.
Death is nothing to be feared. We need to evolve our perception of death. It's just another stage of life, a door we all walk through. Moving on isn't a bad thing.
I had a near death experience when I gave birth to my daughter almost 7 years ago. During my C-section they got my daughter out but I started bleeding to death. There are hours I can’t account for. I woke up with my mom and husband over me crying as I had units of blood being delivered via an artery. My doctor told me how close to death I was. How she was scared and didn’t think they’d get me back. I almost had no blood pressure. That bothered me for a long time. Almost dying. I kept thinking what would have happened if I did die. What would my husband and daughters life be like. It scared the living shit out of me. But as time went on I became thankful for my life. Life is so beautiful and it’s hard to explain it unless you’ve been through it.
Now, I am battling cancer. Another reminder how beautiful and precious life is. I want to write letters to my daughter because there’s a good chance I won’t be there to see her off to college. Life is beautiful. I am a believer in God. I wasn’t before but too much has happened to me for life not to be filled with the beauty of God.
Sorry to hear that. Its really hard dealing with death when you have kids. Breaks my heart.
A near death birth and now cancer? Sounds as if God likes screwing with you.

I’ve had a similar experience. I didn’t know I was on the verge of dying. I had been in and out of the hospital for months. One night, while in the hospital, I had a dream that I was in heaven with my Grandpa. He told me it wasn’t my time and to go back down. Later on, I was by the doctor that I was “spiraling the drain”. It still blows my mind to this day. I was so close to dying and I didn’t have a clue.
Are you a Christian or were you one when it happened?
@@ProfessorM_PhD I wasn’t much of a believer of anything before that experience.
My grandfather visited his mother in 1998 when he had two knee surgeries. One of which stopped his heart. He was out for 19 seconds..
Glad you are here with us 😊
Had a similar experience. Threw up 6 units of blood, from severe bleeding ulcers. I passed out, while talking to the paramedics and went "somewhere". Saw a white light (like a bright movie screen) with people walking toward it, in shadows. I was at the top watching and felt wonderful. My grandmother's 'presence' was getting very near and strong, when I came back, in the ambulance after a couple of minutes, "out there". No measurable BP.... Spectacular Experience. Trauma Dr said I was critical and unstable for almost 3 hrs, far longer most anyone can survive. 3 days in icu. Similar experience but I was completely at peace, with whatever happened. I already understood how fragile life is and now,.have virtually no fear of dying.... glad he made it back too.
Glad u survived to tell us this. Are you religious?
I’m so curious about that experience you got. I’ve been hearing a lot about it
Yo son thanks for giving me hope
have u ever watched the movie Soul that disney put out not to long ago? Im not saying that movie portrays certain things right or wrong, but when u said "I passed out, while talking to the paramedics and went "somewhere". Saw a white light (like a bright movie screen) with people walking toward it, in shadows. I was at the top watching and felt wonderful" my mind literally instantly went to that scene in soul when joe falls and "dies" and hes in the great beyond. also when u said "Saw a white light (like a bright movie screen) with people walking toward it" it seemed like the movie portrailed that visual so well its almost scary.
@@sadcr1750 Thats because the movie got it from people's real experiences.

When you need to fight hard to continue convincing yourself of atheism.
believing in any specific religion or even being an atheist ,, same mindset sort of ,, you are convinced of something where there is no definitive proof.. being agnostic is the more logical , and intelligent position, in my opinion.
@Hosanna Thank goodness , Christianity is dying off. Human beings have technology but it is so obvious in 200 000 years intellectually humans have not progressed much. cave men with cell phones basically . Zero evidence of jesus, btw. Religions are useless.. They can all be summed up in one sentence .. Treat others as you wish to be treated.. easy.. No need for magical mythology. The christian god must love the under educated and intellectually lacking because those are usually the ones that still believe in the bible
@@jfkino1 You need to read a bigger variety of books than the typical black and white god or no god stupid arguments. Religion is less popular these days but god being more about “your mind” and how it creates is taking over. You need to read about the double slit experiment, how your observation affects matter and reality based off that old experiment, read about the invisible “field” that governs all life that’s there but is invisible like air, how everything is energy at its tiniest observation under a microscope, and how your perception determines what you’re capable of seeing and what your incapable of seeing based off the perception you chose for your life. I recommend reading “Becoming Supernatural” by Dr. Joe Dispenza. The book is science and results on a whole another level and it makes life and god turn out to be way different than the typical Bible and atheists bullshit arguments… it doesn’t directly talk about god but it’s special meditations that tap into the field of consciousness makes life and the possibility of a god seem far more complex than we ever expected or imagined. Get out of the typical stupid arguments that have been beaten to death and get into the stuff that’s NOT mainstream because THAT’S where you’re gonna find the truth! The general public is scared of the truth so you ain’t gonna find concrete answers dealing with typical people but instead follow my advice if you care about a deeper truth that almost everyone is unaware of! Get that book and it’ll change your life!
@@user-qe7bt9dz1l Thanks for the response.. sounds interesting . Open to new ideas to contemplate. I dont expect to find facts or truth about reality in my life, however it is more about the journey I think. From my personal experiences , many years ago I considered that this reality is actually like a movie or play. Pre-scripted and we just play various characters . No free will, its an illusion.. In short, that idea came from contemplating my experiences with seeing future events. And other things, which I block now. certain things that were part of my existence were irritating. I think this existence is an illusion in ways. Had this idea years ago before finding out there is the theory of the holographic universe . At this time I had a personal theory that the past , present and future all exist at the same time. And come to find out , some scientists have considered this. From a child I also liked the UFO/ ET subject.. many of the theories I had several decades ago seem to be making it into mainstream thought. Like this entire planet is an experiment by older more intelligent beings.. Which I think these beings have solved the transhumanism thing. They exist in manufactured bodies.
As far as simplistic arguments against tradition mythologies/ religions. If people believe in things that obviously dont make sense. maybe even know some basic science but totally disregard it over mythology, you cant get to "out there" with certain theories like you suggest. many people cant even consider and dont even have common sense. Personally I think human beings are just a step above chimps in intelligence, and others a half step.
I used to transport hospice patients and the reaching up and speaking to family members that only they could see was one of the most consistent things I watched dying people do. I’ve never heard many stories of near death experiences where the person still believed in nothing afterward. That’s bizarre to me. He recognized that there is something very mysterious that science can’t explain happening to dying people yet doesn’t even give it a second thought that there’s something more after death
God determines if you have faith or not. If its was meant to be it was meant to be and vice vera. Before you are born everything is preordained and only going to change if you earn that through good works on this planet. If you just coast thru it on autopilot letting your ego lead the way then you will have to eat exactly what was predestined to be put on your plate.
This guy was obviously predestined to not have faith in God. He did not create/earn or receive enough good will for the most important part of his destiny to be rewritten.
It's why faith is priceless. An absolute jewel.
By your logic, he was created by God with the forethought of “I will make him incapable of having faith and when he dies, I will condemn him for not having something he’s incapable of having to begin with.” This is monstrous. Not to mention completely unbiblical. The Bible talks of predestination in terms of assignment of life mission (what you’ll be meant to do with your life, the talents and gifting and how they are to be used for the glory of God.)
Never ever is predestination regarding salvation. God does not desire that anyone should perish but that all would come to Him (2 Peter 3:9)
This man does not have the faith NOT because God denied him faith but because this man refuses to put his faith in Jesus. It is a choice. God honors free will.
@@wingsfk god doesn't have an internal dialogue like that when he created human beings. You are over simplifying it. I don't mind the remedial form of spirituality most Christians ascribe to but it's not what Jesus himself followed or believed in. Jesus and the early Christians taught reincarnation for example. This doctrine was taken out by church leaders later on. Anyway. Have a good one. Hope you find what you're looking for and receive whatever you are working towards

Because it's easier that way, most people don't have the ability to think along different dimensions. And also most people (statistically speaking) are not actually that intelligent if you're going by IQ. Though In a way it's honestly much less stressful to do that in life, let yourself be ignorant to avoid the stress of the things you can never truly understand? Shit dude I almost wish I could do that, but I can't seem to stop thinking of the various ways that what we call 'reality' may not be real at all. And frankly, you don't want to get into that rabbit hole.
@Bob Carter yeah you definitely sound like you're some sort of troll. That or you just lack the ability to comprehend what you read, so which is it?
Nothing that I said should suggest that I'm particularly religious, and if I was it doesn't actually mean anything because your claims about religious people being less intelligent than others isn't based in fact. So I don't know what the hell you're on about or why you're trying so hard to hate religion. Maybe sort yourself out. I also don't know why you're bringing religion into this conversation in the first place when no one else was.

This gave chills, the same thing happened to me 15 years ago. I fell into the same black bottomless void, and was overwhelmed with a hopelessness that cannot be explained or imagined if you haven't experienced it. There was no escape, I knew it was eternal. There was nothing but the blackest blackness, no form, no sight, but I could hear. All I heard were terrifying screams, like people being tortured. I had the feeling of something pulling me down further, something wanted me, and it felt like sharp claws grabbing me and clawing at my legs and pulling me down. But I suddenly came back into consciousness and was weeping uncontrollably. Hell is a very real place.
The black hole led to hell. A guy in my church over 20 hears ago said he died and came out of his body too and a black portal like that opened up, he started drifting towards it. He said he knew that hell was on the other end of it. He begged God for another chance and that's when he started going back to his body. After that he became a very dedicated Christian (he was very lucky, few get another chance likt that). If you guys don't want a portal to hell opening for you, then you need to 1) repent of your sins (confess and turn from them) 2) forgive EVERYONE that's ever sinned against you no matter what 3) believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again and ask Him to save you and give you His Holy Spirit 3) Follow Jesus and do the things that please Him (pray, read the Bible, love others, tell others about Him and His love for them and how they can be saved from their sins).

Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?

Tribute to Ethan Lakey

Once seen, you can't unsee it. GOD is real. Thank you GOD for every moment.
i would also like to thank Oden and Ra the Sun god
He should at least realize that consciousness goes on after death and explore that. So, he may want to read some books about NDE and find some spirituality that he feels comfortable with. He can thank God that he will be there for his little girls to grow up. It's more than the dying brain having hallucinations, patients have told us what is going on outside the room and even items on the roof of the hospital that there is no way they could have known while they were dead.
You thank the universe ?? WELL guess what GOD created the universe 🤦♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏻♀️
This guy continues to explain his near death experience and tries to understand scientifically why he saw his deceased father trying to comfort him.He never gave a hint that that there may be a God trying to connect with him spiritually.FASCINATING!
Yes, why do some see light and others see darkness? Science explains how our brain has a last effort before the death comes that they said explains these things. But, again, why is one of light and the other is dark?
Fascinating?? More like daft.
Dont make science your religion. Go within and see for yourself
Consciousness is not under absolute control. Our brains are involuntary organs in some ways, including when we are about to die.
We have dreams every night, vivid that we often can't distinguish from reality... Do dreams provide evidence for religion? If so which one(s)?
Years ago, my sister's coworker was eating lunch in the office lunchroom and suddenly said, "I feel like blood is running down my face." She then passed out and was dead from a brain aneurysm before an ambulance could get her to Cedars Sinai 2 miles away. Life IS fragile.
My Sister works in a trauma unit. A nurse was sitting with a patient who had been given knock out meds to help with recovery.
The nurse came running down the hallway crying. My Sister ask her what's wrong. She told her the comatose man had sat straight up, and with a clear voice said Oh my God, I'm going to hell, then feel back and flat-lined. The Harvey Team were unable to save him.
@WeirdAussieGirlThatTrustNo1 Absolutely agree. Noone else saw it but he sure thought he did.
@ProudLonerThatTrustNo1 thats a lie straight from the devil. I caught demons in a pic and have a testimony that would rock this world off its axis. Everyone needs to know Jesus. Don't say you weren't told. Warned.
Yes Hell is real. How horrific he didnt get saved to get another chance.
@ProudLonerThatTrustNo1 if you wouldn't take a person who believes in God argument why he's real even tho they say it as a fact then you're idea of it being ppls one realities of what they choose to see then yours isn't fact either just cause you say it like it is
A few NDE’s relate of a visit to Hell, but they are taken out of Hell by calling out to God, or Jesus, or by praying. Jesus himself descended into Hell, and rose on the 3rd day to Heaven. That scripture still hasn’t been explained to my satisfaction.
I saw my grand father the same night he passed away, seven hours away. I still cant wrap my mind around that.
I feel you, earlier this year had a call with someone who was like a grandfather to me. A little while latter after that call he died, thankfully I was able to ask him some really important questions on that phone call right before he passed. Sorry for your loss
@@kugelblitz9365 Thanks who ever you are :) This happened to me many years ago, I was still a child. I still, to this day, like twenty years after, have no explanation. I was told he passed the next morning. I dont know. Maybe I was a dumb child who overheard something that got caught in my conscience, or maybe it was something entirely different. What I do know is that I saw him clear as day, walking through our living room, past my open bedroom door, stopped and looked at me and went into the main living room. As the child I was, shit made me trip out so I was throwing stuffed animals at the light switch, tripping outta my mind cause I knew this is not normal and my mother came from the main living room and looked at me crazy. So yeah, thats what it is. Never experienced anything like it ever since.
@@kugelblitz9365 Im glad you got some kinda closure or what they say. People pass and suddenly one is stuck with a lot of unasked questions and feelings. I hope you are generally doing good my dude, all that aside. Just read this, I dont know you, but I hope 2021 is going okay. People care, but people are too caught up in their own messes. Hahahhahaahahahhahaa. Take care my man, or girl.
@@KapteinFruit Thank you, and you take care as well :)
I feel you. When I was kid aged maybe 7 or 8, my uncle who I was close to came to me to say good bye. I can't remember if I was sleeping or in that semi sleep kind of place. It was a ball of light but I knew it was him. In the morning my mother told me that he passed away. I already knew. To this day and nearly 50 years later I still think about that and really have no answers. I just açcept it.
Well, I certainly wasn’t hallucinating when my father who by then had been already dead for ten years “appeared” to me in my most distressful time in the middle of the night. I wasn’t sleeping, I was lying there waiting for my friend to return. I didn’t see him, I felt his presence on the right side of me and he was sending me words of consolation to my heart ( not audibly ) that I’ll never forget. No living person can “speak” such powerful words of consolation. Since then nobody can persuade me that life ends with our death, but apart from that experience I’ve had enough ‘visions’ to prove that fact!
Can you please share more and in more detail??
Share!
Can you elaborate on those visions?
Yeah Paula, tell us more. Upload a video :) share you story this is part of your mission on Earth.
@@emilyr3155 Check out “The Book On the Living God” by Bô Yin Râ.
You weren’t hallucinating. You were peering past the veil into the spirit realm.
About 5 years ago my brother and sister died in a car wreck. Few years later, I OD'd in my car in a parking lot. (Luckily someone seen me and called an ambulance). Anyways, I felt myself starting to pass out until everything went black. I wake up, step out of my car, glance at my limp body and turn around and notice both my brother and sister, about 10 feet away from me. They both had a bright light behind them, like someone shining a headlight (I could just see an outline of their body and faces were very obvious who they were)
They both smiled, Said 'It's not your time', turned and walked away. I felt as if I needed to be back on this earth. When they smiled, all I could feel was this overwhelming peace I've never felt before in my life. Something I can't even describe really. After that, I woke up to a whole bunch of people around me (EMT) and I guess gave me a ton of Narcan to wake me up. I really wanted to go with them but, I felt like I couldn't physically walk toward them. (Like something was holding my feet down to the floor) I still struggle to this day with seeing that. Still trying to find a purpose.
How can he say he's an athirst after experiencing that. I'd run to Jesus after that!
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. But to us it is the power of God... ~1Corinthians 1:18~
Because NDE are different in all cultures ! Your nde will depend on your beliefs. You don't see Muslim or Hindu nde seeing jesus ! This is true what the buddha said. That your conscious can create the afterlife as it creates thoughts and emotions
Because organized religion is fucking stupid
But the bible is proven to have been written by men and used to control/rule men. It has man-like contradictions in it. It’s not a book from God.
Yes I agree, how can he be an athiest after that he should learn to appreciate God who gave him his precious life.
@@prabshiro He is an atheist and knows nothing of The Word of GOD (Bible) and he's still an atheist after his near death experience yet he experienced exactly what is described in the Bible as Hell (The Bottomless Pit).
That's not "his conscious creating an afterlife". It's GOD showing him his fate if he doesn't repent and accept salvation through Christ.
I'm glad he survived, especially because he has junger children.
Haha
Hardy Harr
Well done.
ba dum ts
This joke gave me junger fever.
Extremely healthy and very fit guy here, and never had a single day in a hospital or a surgery in my life other than tonsilectomy as a small child--but 2 months ago I was hit with a serious infection and then 2 weeks later got covid on top of it--in the emergency room the Dr said you're a very sick guy and we'll do everything we can for you... Within a few minutes I was hit with an overwhelming peace and calm, and felt ok if I were to go.. I wasn't worried about dying at all in regards to myself, but I did have an deep concern about letting my Wife and family down--I was worried about their future and their grief, not myself. With the appropriate medicine I rallied and came back--the first thing I did was tell my Wife of the peace and calm I had experienced, and then I immediately made changes to an existing will to handle things quicker and easier for the benefit of my WIfe and Daughters--even though I have always been a loving Husband and Father, the experience gave me a new perspective about caring even more deeply for others. As for death I'm not worried about it--I just don't want to be there when it happens..
Amazing how he was almost dropped into an inescapable hell, and his life was spared, and yet he still doesn't thank or even acknowledge God for giving him another chance at life.
Maybe he is here to share his story so that others can see god. Maybe. Wish him and you all, all the best. This world is a funny place.
Or why not listen a little more closely to what Sebastian said , he said Im an atheist. So that would explain why he didn't thank God and like a normal rational person he probably thanked the Doctors .Also he didn't say anything about an inescapable hell he said Pit .
@@ledhendrix5054 BUT that pit he described WAS hell. You're not getting it. Everything this atheist described was outer darkness that was described in the scriptures, but I won't waste my time explaining it to you further. You'll have to search for yourself.
It’s absolutely real, folks. I’m not religious at all, but I have severe epilepsy that manifested in my mid twenties. And I died. I had a massive seizure, and probably a stroke, and when I went into the seizure I just floated out of my body. I was above myself, watching everything that was going on below. I thought I was dead, and I floated away from the scene because my family was watching me die and I couldn’t bare it. I don’t have any absolute truth to offer, but it seems that there is a positive, loving, and beautiful place that people go and then there is a dark, awful, hate filled place that others go. Just spread love and kindness, positivity and work to make things better for everyone. It sounds corny, but I don’t ever want to know what is inside that pit that this guy saw.
Absolutely 🧘♂️
Hey Jesus was a carpenter
Just thought it was a coincidence that your name is California Carpenter, Jesus was a Israelite Carpenter
Sarcasm?
@@michaeltoews2072 Yep, I was a Christian when I made this CZcams account, and to this day, my family are all Christian, and I love and respect Christians and Christianity in general.
@JJ H, I never rejected Christ when I moved on from my Faith. I think he was great, and I’ve read the entire Bible a number of times. Christ’s message was a message of love and forgiveness, and a person could do a lot worse than a Theology like that. I have Sikh, Muslim, Atheist, Mormon and even Buddhist friends, and I truly believe the ones with a sum total of mostly good interactions during their lives will go to Paradise after death. I’ve known people who use Christianity as justification to act like they’re better than unsaved, and spread negativity and even hatred in their lives, and I believe that those people will get to see the pit after death.
But I firmly stand for Religious freedom and I love my Christian brothers and sisters.
You sure this wasn’t your brain having a massive dmt dump when you died?.
He keeps stating over-and-over that he's an athiest. Yet, he doesn't seem to make the connection to being pulled into a dark pit, upon nearing death. Does he not wonder why he hasn't seen a bright light and felt at peace, as others have? And, he's going to write a book? It is my sincere hope, he reads The Book.
Agreed !
There are atheists who have also seen some bright light and felt at peace, it has nothing to do with what you're talking about. Everyone has different experiences.
@@veritasabsoluta4285 It could be related. The end of your life could absolutely be connected to some kind of differing end-state.
@@veritasabsoluta4285 could be more like , those atheists had a change of heart or belief at that moment , they weren't resisting like he was, and even if they still don't believe after , I'm sure sure have some kind of "respect" for the possibility of a God.... unlike this guy
@@nick4281 hormones are profoundly powerful.....near death experiences are the effects of a massive hormone response to ease us into death without distress. & the body does everything possible physiologically to prevent our death......try dying, you'll be in a position to argue.
I want to talk to this guy. I've had my own NDE, where I saw the future... and it's all been happening EXACTLY the way it did in my experience.
"The Future," or "Your Future."? Tell us about "the" future.
Were you able to see the Power Ball numbers?
Thank you for sharing your story, sir. I hope that you will read my post. You are blessed to still be on this side of the ground as are all those who are alive. I totally believe your account and the experience you shared. I also believe in the Bible and literally records a bottomless pit it’s as a place of unimaginable torment the only way of escape is through Jesus the Christ. All who call out to him will be rescued from that awful place.
Amen… all Glory to Jesus the King of kings
Amen
Amen brother
Amen 🙏🏽
I’m was thinking the same thing. He didn’t see a white light above him, he saw a black bottomless pit beneath him. That scared me when I heard that but then he said he was an atheist and then it made sense.
That pit was hell. He's been blessed with a second chance to get it right. Unbelievable that he's still so blind.
Exactly! But he is an atheist! I hope to God during his research he finds Jesus Christ....and he doesn't end up in the pit.
He doesn't realize that pit is still waiting for him. The pit is forever patiently waiting. Pray for laborers to cross his path and give him the truth about Jesus.
Exactly! Even near death won't change the heart of some people.
LMao
I don't think it was hell, it could be the sensation of getting separated by the body as this often will give the feeling of falling down. This is widely known in the astral projection community
Bro hes an atheist and felt himself being dragged to hell that's fucking crazy
Where did he say he felt the fiery flames beneath him?
@@maxmoncada4272 hell is alot more than fiery flames
@@amadeovalentino2088 it sure is but according to the all knowing book, fire is a very big detail in hel. And like you said it's more than that, to which this guy described nothing of that sort of shit. Religious folks are just projecting on this man's story
@@maxmoncada4272 he sure as fuck didnt say hes going up as in heaven, but he literally said I felt myself being pulled down into a pit. Like how its described when your pulled down into a DARK fiery pit. DEVOID OF LIGHT AND GODS LOVE. But yo keep being blind bro
@@amadeovalentino2088 it's so appealing you didn't even see the contradiction in your reply to me. Dark FIERY pit. But he felt no flames, no demons calling to him so that they can begin his eternity if being tortured and heckled.
I remember a story my mother told me, as the husband of her friend was dying at night, she encountered her husband in her dream reaching out for her, she woke up, went back to sleep and discovered next morning that he had passed away
I had this happen to me when my dad passed away, I was truly shaken by the experience.
I was rushed into hospital with status epilepticus and my heart had stopped, I could swear that my passed mum, dad, and Nana told me it wasn't my time but it felt like nothing I've ever felt before pure elation like nothing mattered. Fast forward about a year and my older brother died at 38 💔 it still makes me wonder if what I saw/felt was actually real and not a delusional hallucination?!
It was real.
I’m very sorry for your loss

@@Anonymous_Prole it’s not nonsense. He literally just described hell in the video? How can you not believe in God after that?God loves you so much, more than you can ever imagine.
God is not a hateful God. He is holy, which means he’s perfect and doesn’t do anything wrong. Humans are not like that. Like me, I have trouble sinning too of course.We live in a world where so many bad things happen. Satan is real too. God will always be more powerful than him though. Demons tremble at the name of Jesus. They are afraid of God because God has so much authority.God understands that this world can be cruel at times. He knows that humans have a hard time with sin. That’s why he sent Jesus to die for you and every human being. It breaks Gods heart when someone is sent to hell, don’t doubt that. But he is holy, he can’t accept everyone, unless they turn to him. If you turn to him, of course he will accept you💖 he’s waiting for you. He is not some hateful , angry guy that wants you to go to hell. He’s loving and slow to anger. Not telling you to do a bunch of terrible things though. I’ve abused Gods grace before, it was a terrible mistake. I shouldn’t have done that. But just wanting to let you know that God is not a hateful God but a loving God. Hes your Heavenly Father. He wants a relationship with you. He wants to help you when you need help. You just need go to him and ask for help and he’ll help you. He wants to know how your day went, everything cause he cares for you.
@Ztrx Fury like many people say, it isn’t about the religion. It’s about the relationship.
Life is so weird to begin with. We are all existing here right now on this giant rock in infinite blackness. Why?! It's bizarre. Why is it so hard to believe there is some other existence beyond this weird one?
I don’t know, I think that’s what makes me believe in God. Somebody had to create thousands of different kind of trees.
ITS NOT AN EXPLOSION. Lmao
To them, the thought of us having a creator is far fetched and hard to believe. But to me, the thought of us evolving from bacteria on a precisely placed earth (an accident in their opinion) in a perfectly situated solar system (also an accident to them) is extremely hard to believe. They try so hard to be rational about our existence, so much so, they have become irrational. But a creator makes way more sense, and to me, it's the logical conclusion. I mean how can an 'accident' be so perfect, complicated & precise??
@@bigjerm1631 Also when we are close to being able to create virtual existence ourselves.. Science is showing how easy it will be to create a matrix in 50 years.. How could we guess what our universe was made from.

I don't know why, but yesterday during the day I suddenly got an over whelming emotion that I couldn't quite define...But I started thinking about all the experiences I've had in my life and how profound it was to have been here on Earth experiencing all these things for all this time. I almost got the feeling that that is one purpose of our existence as human. Don't know why I responded to your comment, but I had to pass that on.
There are thousands of NDE's where the person floats away sometimes miles away from their bodies and see and hear things. Their stories are corroborated by friends, family, doctors, nurses etc. DMT can't do that.
czcams.com/video/PZjx_TxvYSw/video.html&feature=shares I was clinically brain dead for 3 days medically recorded and there is no way its my brain that creates the consciousness. We are all here to gather ourselves into something we love.

I was in a coma for 4 months just over 3 years ago, and I flatlined 3 times. I'm in full health now but the way I look at life is totally different!
Explain pls in what way do you see life different??
I've never heard of man speak that so clearly needed Jesus more than this guy. Praying he wakes up before it's too late.
Why does one "need" someone else? Please explain
Listening to his Near death experience I was thinking the exact same thing! I don't know if he knows about Jesus Christ but hopefully he will read these post and give his life to God through his son Jesus!

My spleen ruptured in 2013, luckily I was already on the surgery table. Needless to say, my grandmother showed up after I left my body. She passed 3 years prior. She would NOT let me stay with her let alone even leave that room! My boys were 3&5 at the time and told me I had to stay to raise -her- boys. I woke up a week later in ICU. I'm not religious either, but I 100% know that we are more than a biological body.

As a child getting picked up by my mother coming home from school. I fell asleep in the car ride n had a weird dream. I could see a light but had no eyes. I could feel this light very warm. I noted how warm it felt even tho had no body. Was very strange unlike nothing else n I was self aware looking at myself I was nothing just a floating entity n I heard a woman’s voice near the light call out n gently say “it will be ok” over n over a few times before I woke up. We were stopped in traffic ambulances to the side of the road n sad n unfortunately an Amish woman was struck by a car n didn’t make it. I always thought the dream was unlike other dreams n feel like I witnessed maybe an angel take the woman’s soul up? Never forget that

Go to JeffMada podcast NDE channel, you will find so much Comfort❤️🙏........we never get over it, we just learn to live w/ the loss.......but, I’m sure he would want your life to be sooo happy.........
My mom passed a few weeks ago. I don’t know if I’ll be ok but I think I might idk.
@@codyallensiebert lost my dad dad weeks ago too. He was 52 and I am only 20. He died from cardiac arrest, so out of nowhere I am ok, I think he’s in a good place, just missing the time we would’ve spent together on this world. Good luck to you
Me too In2019 😞

I had an nde a year ago. I collapsed from a bacterial infection while to get labs at the hospital. my nde was so, so gorgeous I really didn't want to come back. I fought to not come back, but a tremendous force told me 'no' and pushed me back through a heavy door. that same moment I woke up in the ER with an army of nurses and doctors yelling at me and each other. I was told my BP was 0. I was so mad they revived me. that was a year ago and I think about it every day and I'm still mad I couldn't stay. lol
do good deeds, abstain from killing, lying stealing, sexual misconduct and drugs. then you are on the right track
@@nolifeonearth9046 awe but I love killing. lol jk

Just curious but are you religious, atheist, agnostic?
@@graciepie7124 I don't believe in organized religion - I think it's a tool for control/oppression. I believe in a divine power that we can't describe or define. I believe this divine power is a source that we all belong to and come from. The purest form of love, I suppose. So I guess I'm closest to agnostic although I don't necessarily define myself as that. 💕
This video made me open my eyes.
Go watch more NDEs
There is so much more then this physical life. How can this life be enough for anyone and all that there is? I pray he realizes this one day.
“I’m an atheist... suddenly I was being pulled down into this dark pit” 😳
What he was experiencing was the Void of his beliefs. He said multiple times he believes in nothing. The universe gives you what you believe. In his case it's Nothingness/The Void. If he doesn't change his beliefs he will experience this again when actually passes away.
@@greyisokok3938 lmao no
@@mars437 why do they always seemed determined to prove there is nothing? Why would anyone even want to believe that??? Always makes me wonder... Like, I have always known there was more, long before I had any idea of religion or anything. I feel bad got these kinds of people. It’s sad. So empty
@@SnailHatan or perhaps YES...
Wait and see
@@greyisokok3938 a black pit to anyone running from danger is salvation. Also everything that is, everything that always have been, is indeed a part of our creator and was created by our creator. The question comes by asking ; are we afraid by thinking our creator separates good from bad and that our creator isn’t associated with evil or are we afraid because we’ve lived through it to know for sure ?
There’s beauty in all things, violence births love, and love births violence. Death births new life, and life births death. We see it in plants, fungi, bacteria, human species relationships and so on. If you don’t believe in god, you can look around you.
My opinion is that we should at least be gentle with anyone who is confused and still tries to find a stand they can place their faith into. Because no matter what you believe, in the end life will continue beyond the mind can imagine. If you exist on this reality, you are a part of the whole, our god and creator. Anything that exits is allowed to exist. If you love god out of fear then you’re missing out to what I believe the beauty of life. Maybe if we loved god out of respect then we can truly understand how much god cares for us beyond what our society has raised us to believe ; that good and bad are separate, and we should stay away from the other.
You don’t have to believe that the earth is a sphere, or that the sun provides us with light, or trees start from seeds. Because either way it’s always a fact regardless of your beliefs.
We should be more gentle with each other, regardless of our beliefs and we should learn to listen at what other people are feeling or how they see the world than forcing them to believe what we believe. Because If it works for them and they’re doing okay then it does work for them.
That’s my opinion
As an atheist who been through that and you felt like you were being pulled into a bottom pit; I’m no spiritual genius but I think god is clearly saying start gettin to know him.
You took the words right out of my mouth. He doesn't get it at all, which is sad. God has clearly given him another chance.
I will pray for you, I was an extreme atheist until Jesus saved my soul and gave me a new heart, God bless you and your loved ones 🙏🏻
Which one?
Exactly. God is the answer. How could He not be?
I'm a Christian & these are powerful words bro
It astonishes me that this gentleman can have this experience, realize that life is a miracle, and, to use his word, 'sacred,' but still be an atheist. How is this possible? He saw the pit, he saw his father, he was granted mercy and returned to his daughters. And still he is an atheist? Where does he think the miracle of life comes from? Perhaps his journey continues, perhaps that's why he was permitted to return to life... but surely... SURELY... this path leads inexorably to the only possible destination... to God.
I had a NDE during a mushroom trip. Everything went black and there was a staircase leading up to a door of light. I walked up the staircase and was hit by an overwhelming light that felt connected to me. I felt a sensation of spinning and saw a glipse of my grandma when she was much younger. It was incredibly vivid and I don't fear death anymore
“Death ain’t such a big deal. It’s dying that’s no goddamn fun.” -Frank Griffin
“It’s not that I’m afraid of dying. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” -Woody Allen
Or what comes after... It’s not always good.
Watch I SURVIVE “BEYOND AND BACK,” and you will be shocked. There are two series. I survived, and I survived-beyond and back. That second one is the one.
Some people have incredible positive divide experiences, and some see hell, or the sorting lines on the way into hell, and all the lost souls with no chance of escape, and the dementors who mind them as they are sorted, and this came out before Harry Potter. The vivid descriptions of both the good and the bad... 🤯🤯🤯That show blew my freaking mind.
It was really changing things, so they took it off the air, and now I believe HULU bought the rights, but for a while the only way you could view the episodes was to pay $30 per half an hour episode.... I’m telling you, it will change you forever!!!

As a retired medical professional who worked in the O.R. keeping patients such as you alive under anesthesia, I really understand how blessed you are to be with your family. I am so thankful you made it and thank God that you are here with all of us. Your words are so profound and true. Thankyou for this interview.
Is that all you have to say?
Hahaha. Jesus will save you. He was being dragged to hell
For lack of believe!
That pit is hell. I hope he realizes that soon and begins to believe.
This makes me very emotional
Imagine having that experience and still being an atheist...
He had not a deep experience. Just a glance
Some people just wont ever believe
that doesnt mean that any of the religions existing are accurate they are all just tries to explain what we cant explain because we dont know it
Unfortunate. Prayers to God in Heaven that the veil is torn and that he see the TRUTH before he can’t anymore. In Jesus Name.
SEE NDE:ATHEIST DIES & IS SHOCKED BY WHO HE SEE,S IN HEAVEN.JOSE HERNANDEZ.
I have a lot of respect for Junger, but he’s trying to explain away the supernatural after he EXPERIENCED the supernatural.
Cmon!!!!!
But the comments section is full of people who think they can fully explain the supernatural on their end, having not even had his experience, and that’s fine?
Everything outside our understanding is supernatural until we incorporate the knowledge. The knowing is what transforms these phenomenon from "magic" to science.
Once it appears on JRE, you realize how serious it is.
This guys book "Tribe" is a great read. Helps you understand why people are the way that they are.
Appreciate everyday on this earth, tomorrow may not be on our calender.
How sophisticated
pfft... thats bullshit advice. live each day as its your last, but plan for tomorrow. good luck peeps
Make sure you be good cos there's the accountability of Judgement day waiting for us when we die.

Don’t you come here with your like demanding comments psh
I came here after watching Howard Storm's NDE. Howard, who was also an atheist, tried to avoid that "black pit" too. But, he had no choice and ended up there anyway...
The way Howard describes the darkness is absolutely terrifying and it's a place you do not want to go. Pray to God you don't end up there and thank Him you have a second chance at life! Life is a gift and is truly sacred!
@Josh Decker I completely agree!
Joe needs to have more NDEs on his podcast. I had one and the experience was unlike anything you can imagine. I was dead for a few mins and completely popped out of my body like a floating bubble. It was beautiful it’s to much to explain but wow. You realize your energy
It happen the same to me a couple of times during sleep paralysis. It was incredible. Did you control your movement when it happen? I could do it, but always felt afraid to go far from my body because I didn’t know if I could return.
“I don’t even know who to say Thank You to.”
Yeah, you do.
My dude. You were given a second chance. That "pit" is real. Let it be a wakeup call.
God bless ❤️
hail satan
All things are possible threw god !!
It's like he's still denying his experience, because of fear being shamed by the public or something like that
@@ronsimard340 Could be true, but VERY stupid considering the alternative! Look good in front of humans for 75 to 100 years and go to HELL for eternity! OR get saved (born again Christian) and maybe, possibly be shamed for the rest of his life at his age, maybe 30-40 yrs at most, BUT then go to Heaven for eternity!!! It's take the second one! And I have! Also.. I'm proud to be a Christian and proud to say I love Jesus with all my heart! People can try shaming me but it will NEVER work!!!
I witnessed two people pass away peacefully but my friend whose wife is hospice nurse, told me a story I've never forgotten. She said the patient was an elderly man and that when he began to "pass" he suddenly looked terrified and started screaming that his feet were on fire. I remember getting chills and replied half jokingly that either he was descending feet first into hell or his feet were really hot. I couldn't get over the thought of this person starting to pass on to the other side and a pit of fire opening up to envelope him. As soon I heard Sebastian mention a dark pit I instantly remembered this story. To be honest I was a bit shocked that after his NDE his views hadn't changed on God or the afterlife. Having a NDE experience is so profound and something that seems so clear in your mind for the rest of your life.
I had an NDE as a small child when I almost drowned in a river. I remember struggling over and over again to get air and the exact moment when I eventually gave up and sunk under the water. I don't remember any pain but I do remember seeing the sun or a bright light shine through the murky water and even though I was very young I somehow knew I was dying. I suddenly felt like I did a forward summersault out of my body and I started moving upwards. I was over the river and saw the adults and commotion; then the next thing I knew I was back on land crying and in extreme pain. My mom said she never told me about the experience because I was so young and she hoped I would forget - instead I startled her years later by telling her I remembered the day I died.
Thank you for sharing your experience - please May I ask a question, when you told your mother that you remembered your NDE and saw what was happening from above, did your mother confirm what you saw
Wow thank you for sharing
@@mrsq117 she did confirm what happened and what is even spookier is my aunt was on the house boat further away taking pictures of the river. There are two pictures that show me in the river and them pulling me out lifeless. My mom felt guilty that she had not seen when I went under initially. :(
Doctors and nurses, especially those who work in hospice care see and hear all kinds of terrifying things as people die. Most do not talk about because they do not want to be thought as crazy by their peers, but more and more of them are telling their stories. EATS experience some crazy stuff, too.
It’s so weird same thing happened to me but I never thought of it as NDE. I almost drowned too as a child. Yeah, I watched that bright sun, blue sky, fluffy clouds when I stopped struggling and just allowed myself to go down under the water. It felt like the most peaceful and brightest day of my life.
I talked to my father through a medium after his death. She knew things only I would know. Secret things. It was incredible. My father said the after life is more than our minds can comprehend
I had a NDE and I was on a golden pathway but I did not had fear or lost I was at peace I died from drinking two much nightquil try to ful bottles at the same time I was born in 1987 on 7/14 I always felt like a outcast and did not belong here on earth I stil feel that way anyways the next day I was cryin and askin god why did you put me back on earth I tryd tellin my family about it but thy called me crazy and was nuts I wish I can tell em about it but if I do thy will just think I’m crazy I feel like I don’t belong here on earth I went though depression and was sad after it I went in my room and looked up near death experience CZcams videos about it tryin to conpeare my nde two other nde I don’t have a brother anymore he died at age 17 in 1989 I miss him and my dad died at cancer and I think now I’m gettin cancer so listening to others NDE beings me peace I don’t feel like I belong I feel like I’m lost and don’t belong here I miss heaven but it was nice I came back two life on my own thanks for testimony I still get emotional sometimes thinkin about my near death experience back in 2011 I don’t liv in that house anymore but I’m close to it it’s in the order town I don’t know how I’m goin to take it when my mom dies I’m goin to be in a dark place I miss heaven I felt like I was home thanks for your testimony your savein souls
Sebastian, I thank God that you are still with your wife and girls. I had a major heart attack and had a vision that asked me if I wanted to live or die, the part I still can’t wrap my head around is that the paramedic also saw and heard the vision. He started praying out loud. It was a freaky situation. I have two adult children. I’m ever more glad for you than myself….
Wow! The paramedic told you this! Blessings. 🙏❤️
GOD BLESS YOU I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR STORY IF YOU AREWILLING TO SHARE
Thats wild dude, would like to hear entire story!
Reminds me of a book I bought: "Hello from Heaven", by Bill and Judy Guggenheim. It's a collection of real people with their After Death Communication stories. One chapter is full of stories, where there is a witness to this ADC. I've got lots of books like that, gives me a bit of hope. I hope you stayed in touch with this paramedic? He sounds like a really good person, to experience something so profound, wow. If that was me, I would want to hang on to such a person, and stay in touch. All the best, Michael, hang in there.
THE Spiritual Realm that Jesus 💝created is MORE real and more permanent than earth
I know that feeling, I nearly died while travelling when I was 20yrs in Asia. That moment you nearly die but you return to life and that feeling of how incredible and sacred and precious the gift of life is. Also the fear of hurting my parents when they find out I died and back then all I could think was 'boy I'm going to get in trouble from mum'.
Amazing storey 👍
Remember asking my babysitters husband what it felt like to die when i was like 13... (He died from pancreatic or liver cancer) but was brought back before he died 2 years later.. and it will always stay w me... He said.. "it was the most relaxing and peaceful sleep he has ever felt. Warm... Wonderful.. no stress no worries." makes me feel better to talk to someone who has actually died..
I have had a NDE experience. I now have a pacemaker. My heart stopped and my granddaughters were in the kiddie pool. When you heart stops it’s like suffocating. All I wanted was fresh air so I stepped outside to the back deck. My wife called the ambulance. I had two granddaughters one has just received her heart transplant the other a perfectly normal healthy child. I didn’t even believe in auras. The thing is that while I was dying they had fuzzy rainbows 🌈 around them. But here’s the thing even though they had the same exact color bathing suits ( new) standing in the same sunlight ( neither shadowed) . But they had distinct different colors. My heart patient granddaughters was more blue , green pastel, purple . My healthy granddaughters was bright pink, yellow, and red. Less pastel. The ambiance arrived, I was treated monitored overnight, and given a pacemaker. The thing is that I was agnostic at best, and atheist at worst like this man I was raised by atheist. My parents were well educated people. I had read every National Geographic, popular science, and readers digest we had subscriptions to all. Here’s the thing. As I was lying in the hospital bed under observation I couldn’t reconcile what I had seen. Particularly ,because had you said auras to me prior to that day I would have laughed at you as I didn’t believe in such nonsense. Yet there I was dying looking at some kind of life energy that blended together between them. Why were they different colors?
If it was the chemicals in my brain they would have been identical auras. This was not explained by science. It in fact could have only been a supernatural explanation. I had been interested in the Bible merely as a curiosity, but if I decide I want to learn about something I seriously study it. I had studied ancient cultures , Mesopotamia, Babylon, Samaritan , Egypt enough to have a general understanding. I spent more time with my Bible study only ,because I was interested, and knew that Christians were avid believers that was a curiosity to me, and if I had a authentic conversation I wanted to know a little more about it than some of the other interesting cultural things. As others certainly would.
My own mother was a multicultural education major who taught us lots of cultural things.
This event was something unexpected.
I started studying Christianity with a different perspective. The possibility of a after life became real to me with my NDE. Even though I didn’t lose consciousness as my heart started beating again luckily. I still needed a pacemaker however I was lucky.
The funny thing is I have never gone to church.
I before, and now listen to good Bible study preaching on utube, and learn the Bible through the many guides on utube.
But I wasn’t on the fence about God anymore.
The more I learned the more things started to fit with a lifetime of study of science, and ancient historically things.
There is a saying in the Book of Thomas gnostic Text from the Nag Hamadi library.
It’s something like this “ seek , and continue to seek until something is given “.
I now know exactly what is given.
The eyes to see, and ears to hear in a undeniable supernatural Holy Spirit experience.
A ancient process of awakening to the spiritual realm. Some people in some religion call it activating the third eye. Whatever it is it’s very real, and exactly as described in scripture.

This is very true... the body is so complex and it just takes a trigger or 1 thing to malfunction in the body's processes. This can cause a cascade that can quickly kill you. Scary to think about but makes you realize how delicate life can be.
Life is precious. 3-d life is a rare phenomenon. People need to treat it as such. And if they're not ready to welcome it in a cruel world then it suffers, and many suffer the same.
I've not had an NDE (although probably came close more than once) but have had OBEs. It changes you forever when you realize you are still you...but standing outside your physical body.
The essence of your soul never dies. It's pure energy..❤
