    This is one of the most beautifully worded and heartfelt expressions of a near death experience I've ever heard! I've listened to many people discuss their NDEs, and they always say that what matters is love. That is the message from Heaven to us, without a doubt. THANK YOU, Joseph Geraci, for sharing your experience with us.

    Marvelous lecture! You came through! As a former police officer, myself, I understand the utter destruction inflicted on society and culture where and when children are abused. I have experienced being with folks who have passed over on their death bed (as a Pastor after my law enforcement career). I have also been privileged to hear the testimony of over 30 people who had an NDE. It has comforted me and left me with as many questions as answers. In every case the report was of not wanting to return to this existence and of a transformed understanding of what life is meant to be and of the totality of love and its importance.

    Hi ! I would love to tell you about this " Vision" I received from Paula , my fiance', 5 mins. after she died from Cancer. I was outside her room in the Hospice. Well, I was crying my eyes out, and I HEARD her call my name ! She said " Rick, Rick" , I looked up to the right, and there she was!!!! Like from the shoulders up kind of thing. She was just BEAMING with JOY ! She was soooo happy. Smiling like I have never seen! Very beautiful, looking younger than I knew her. Kind of like Jesus's age. She was wearing her favorite blue blouse. She was just Radiant ! She was surrounded by this hard to describe white light. She said, " There Is A Light , There Is A Light", twice. I was in a daze and just repeated it. I said, there is a light. She nodded her head yes. She just smiled hugely, so incredibly beautifully at me for a while, then looked off towards the Light. She had such a look of LONGING on her face. A look of LOVE, of HAPPINESS. I knew I shouldn't but I had to look, too. There was nothing, and when I looked back, she was gone. That's it.

      Rick, without sounding to harsh I think you were seeing what you wanted to see, as I’m sure you do believe what you seen as the truth, but grief can affect us all in different ways, you describe seeing your lovely lady from the shoulders up but then you say that she was wearing her favourite blouse.
      I do wish you all the best and yes I may be wrong but the one thing we have in common is that we just don’t know what happens when we die.

Almost 9 years after he passed on, I had a dream (more like a vision) we were walking together in the neighborhood I grew up in. We did not say a word to each other while walking. My father looked to be in his 30's. After a short time, we sat on a porch step and I looked at my father and asked: "How are you doing?" He replied: "I'm doing great." Then I woke up. I was exhausted, like I had just run 10 miles. He was radiant and this vision was like watching a HD movie. I've only had one other similar vision with someone else who I knew that had passed. These experiences are profound.

A few weeks later , he had a massive heart attack and died in hospital in the room he predicted. This chilled me.

Most “main stream” scientists laugh and make fun of it…….but in reality, all it is, is tomorrow’s science. It’s very very egotistical to think we have it all figured out to the degree we can say what can and cannot exist or happen. We know very very little of what is. Thanks for the story.

No blood no injuries. She rose first her head, her chest, her waist, her knees, then to her feet. She was jumping around telling me ‘mum this is fun as she did all these amazing flips’’ I replied ‘ that’s nice Michelle’. Then she left. I saw her once more the night before her first bday in heaven. I heard her first I heard her say ‘shh my mum’. She had no facial features this time she had on this beautiful dress the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. Her hair and the dress flowed behind her in the most beautiful way the only way to explain it was as if someone put a fan on full force in front of her. Then she left. She has not been back since.

    I cant tell you what it was but I don't suffer from tinnitus etc and I know I didn't imagine that.... but that's my belief and it helped me cope with not only her death but eventually my death.

    This is true I believe because when I passed away I didn’t want to come back. I went through the light tunnel experienced beautiful things you can’t describe. I was told it wasn’t my time & I had to go back which when they were trying to revive me I fought against. My mum remembers me yelling at the doctors & nurses to let me go back. I found it hard after coming back to a simulate back here on earth.

    I had a NDE in 2002 while on the oncology unit in a hospital in Colorado Springs, dying from septicemia which had come from my chemo port-my drs had told come in and informed me “that without divine intervention I was not going to make it as I was not responding to any of the medical treatments and IV antibiotics (vancomycin, gentamicin, etc), my organs were shutting down & if I had loved ones out of town they needed to be called” and indeed my kidneys had completely shut down, other organs shutting down, & I had swelled up from 125 lbs to over 200lbs and was very very ill 😷 as a result. I didn’t go thru a tunnel-instead I was in a meadow with beautiful flowers 🌸 unlike any colors I’d ever seen (muted brights) with a huge tree in the center like one of those you see in Africa sometimes similar to a live oak tree in its spread but different type leaves. My younger brother was there who had died 15 yrs earlier at the age of 18 from Bone Cancer. No other deceased beloved family members or friends-it was only just him, which was a bit odd as I was closer to my older brother who had been killed 2 years after my younger brother died. Sometimes we were in human form, other times as just entities, but I always knew it was him and we communicated telepathically. Sometimes we ran (glided)& played in the meadow like children, other times we’d sit under/against that single tree and have deep conversations. One of 1st things I asked him was why he had gotten cancer as a kid. He said because he was a comforting spirit for children w cancer-and the only way he could become that is to have gone thru it all himself. Very sensible responses to questions I asked. I know I’ve not been allowed to remember much of many answers to many questions or my experience-how I know that I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ I just do. Back in my hospital room, I was slowly slipping further away with much pain & I’d slip into this meadow more and more. It was so obvious that some of my friends even asked me later if I remembered where I would “go to” during those times. Which I absolutely knew where and shared this with them: This was a meadow with almost knee high beautiful flowers flowing gently on a slight breeze with this one huge tree in the center. The meadow was surrounded by a soft light that looked a lot like clouds. It never got dark, the weather was always perfect, and there was no sky-just that cloud like soft light. At my worst physically when they believed death was imminent, a figure walked toward me in white flowing robes, with shoulder length hair, beard, tanned/olive skin, caring, understanding, knowledge & love shining in his eyes, I choose to believe it was Jesus versus an angel. The closer I walked(really more like glided) toward him, the more of an overwhelming feeling of going home, of peace, of unconditional love so strong-nothing I’d ever said or done or thought bad or wrong affected that love-it was so strong it could make you feel like weeping. He never came into my meadow, just to the edge, which is where I had come over to meet him at. After being told my life had purpose, that we all have a divine purpose even if we get thrown off track by life and/or “sin” & never discover it, it still very much exists....then I was given a choice to stay or return-and only because I hadn’t finished my 3 children’s scrap books of how much I loved them, advice for a future I didn’t think I would be a part of because of my illness, etc.. did I choose to return. I slowly, miraculously to my several doctors, began to recover and after a total of about 4 months in the hospital I was discharged home and even tho I had many more surgeries, treatments, etc...I eventually recovered, having had my last surgery to date in 2006 of 17 surgeries from Nov 1999. I’m left with some health issues, namely a bone disease called multi focal avascular necrosis as a result of some of the medication I was given, but I live and after that experience I no longer fear death, for I know now it’s actually peaceful and you’re not alone. I don’t talk about my experience much, but felt a need to share some bits of it today. NDE is very real and I don’t believe it’s just something our brain makes up. And I truly do believe we all each have a divine purpose. Some discover it and feel complete on a totally different level, some never even know or try & always feel like something is missing even if they’re totally successful in all other areas. And I know that it’s one of those things where the journey is the teacher more so than the destination-that this destination can only be reached thru the discoveries that occur on the journey.

    My father died briefly on the operating table. He said he was hovering above the doctors, could see what they were doing and saying and could see his own body on the table.

    I believe him. One, because I feel his authenticity. Second, because I had one similar experience myself, except it wasn't NDE, I was just resting in bed and had an amazing vision, and multiple other minor experiences troughout my whole life. In my vision, it was exactly like he described, a sense of eternity, so much love and total stillness and peace so deep that it was shaking the ground. there were also some visuals that since that experience was able to recreate in my artwork but only a part since this experience was beyond my comprehension to put into words. I also was able to see this "place" sort of from a far away and kind of above perspective and it looked like a turned cube. it looked kind of like an angel with open wings.

I laughed at this because I am on the larger side. I literally made the choice to come back into my body..i then woke up feeling calm knowing it was all going to be ok. The doc said well that was touch n go for a while but welcome back to the land of the living. At no point did i feel any panic or fear..
