Made it through all 3. Never had an NDE. However I do enjoy listening to all this. It's very inspirational . I enjoy getting an idea of the future after we live this hard life.
I love Heathers eyes. They are so big and focused on the subject at hand, like she is truly hungry at wanting truth. Aren't we all not wanting truth and not a story of truth?
Right??? I think she is SO beautiful! And smart. And insightful. Obviously hardworking. Her channel is one of the best and I keep waiting to see it EXPLODE with new subscribers!!!
Fascinating! I really, really liked this and hearing a researcher’s perspective having analyzed so many different experiences. Definitely looking for John’s books!
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch exactly! I love that too 🙏❤ About 90% or so of the NDE’ers (at least of the ones I've watched) seem to be more open minded than the general public even in spite of their personal spiritual beliefs and experiences! That’s so amazing to me 🥹🙏❤
Here are his links. You can find all my episodes in the playlist. I’ll add that below. JOHN BURKE Episode 62: ruclips.net/video/c3hMXF3Aivo/видео.html Episode 63: ruclips.net/video/ErGVRZfrroI/видео.html Episode 64: ruclips.net/video/QEPAllfDgMg/видео.html
Heather, I think you are on to something with your question about whether God cares which name we use for Him. Knowing the right name of God seems rather petty when we're talking about the Creator of all that is. While we can commune with God by being close to the beauty and wonder of nature, human beings historically have have had a more intimate relationship with the Divine through other human beings who manifested divine qualities to the point that they represented God in this world of being. I'm referring to Jesus for Christians, to Buddha for Buddhists, to Krishna for Hindus, etc. John mentions the difficulty of understanding how Jesus was somehow God, and yet not God. Here's an analogy which might be useful in being able to visualize this relationship. Imagine that God is like the sun, the source of light and life for the earth, and Jesus is like a Perfect Mirror reflecting this Divine Light to mankind. If people look into the Mirror of Jesus they will see the sun (God). And it would be correct to say that they see God. But on the other hand, the sun (God) is not actually in the Mirror, but 94 million miles away. The rays of the sun could be compared to the Holy Spirit, an emanation from God. For a Buddhist, the Perfect Mirror is the Buddha. The Divine Being can be seen by looking into the Perfect Mirror of Buddha. Other Perfect Mirrors would be Zoroaster, Krishna, Moses, etc. Mirrors can be of various shapes, sizes, colors but the Light reflected in them is the same Light. Is this way of thinking consistent with the idea that God loves, and has always loved every human being who has ever lived? I first became acquainted with this idea of all religions being inspired by the same God as reflected in the Founders of all the great world religions when I learned about the teachings of the Baha'i Faith. The Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah, claimed that He was the latest Perfect Mirror, or Manifestation of God, bringing new teachings tailored to the needs of the modern world, such as the oneness of humanity, the oneness of religion, the equality of women and men, the need to educate all children, the harmony of science and religion, the need to investigate reality independently, the need for world peace through the formation of a world federation of nations, the need to choose a world language as a second language for all people, the need to eliminate all prejudices. His vision was to create a planetary civilization. The time period of Baha'u'llah was the 19th century. He was born in Persia, was exiled to Baghdad and eventually brought as a prisoner to a Turkish prison colony in Palestine. His crime was that He was disturbing the status quo, just as Jesus did in His day, and Buddha did in His day. Here is a sampling of the writings of Baha'u'llah: O SON OF MAN! Veiled in My immemorial being and in the ancient eternity of My essence, I knew My love for thee; therefore I created thee, have engraved on thee Mine image and revealed to thee My beauty. O SON OF BEING! Thy Paradise is My love; thy heavenly home, reunion with Me. Enter therein and tarry not. This is that which hath been destined for thee in Our kingdom above and Our exalted dominion. O SON OF SPIRIT! I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself down to poverty? Noble I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself? Out of the essence of knowledge I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from anyone beside Me? Out of the clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself with another? Turn thy sight unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting. O SON OF THE SUPREME! I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom? Baha'u'llah, his name means "Glory of God", wrote over 100 books.

@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch Brain fog from Covid, cant work much, 67, family is ostrasized because I fell on cousins deck and asked him to file a claim, almost bankrupt after not being able to work due to injury, 5 DEATHS IN MY FAMILY. So while I’d like to pretend that I am part of the salt & light that we need, sadly I am running out of money and going to become a burden not just financially, but in every other way, on my family or society if I stay in this world much longer. So I’ll be migrating to Canada to do a medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) sometime after March 17, 2024 when it becomes legal for people to do this without having a terminal illness.
I am so sorry for all you are going through. I can’t imagine how heartbreaking and difficult it must be. I hope you find joy in your remaining days on Earth. Sending love and prayers. Check back in again before March 17 and let me know how you’re doing. In the meantime I hope some of my videos will bring you comfort knowing the love and beauty before you. With love, Heather
@@weaverdreamsI pray that you’re still with us! God truly does have a purpose for us, and it is said that he uses the ones that you may least expect to do his work. I believe that a miracle will fall upon you and that life gets better for you. God bless you!
God is everything and it doesn't matter the name we call him...He is LOVE and has unlimited names. Christ Consciousness has all the names : Jesus, Bouddha, Mahomet and so on and so on..
Thanks for your thoughts. Some NDErs simply use the name "Love". One of those examples is Kara Marlene. Episode 74 ruclips.net/video/sJpBunCEGzs/видео.html Episode 75 ruclips.net/video/_wj35fggJEw/видео.html
I have a problem with the Jesus scenario. If one engages in the Jesus story, they create a narrative. (It must be true) But look at the verses in the bible that show a different story. Mathew 14: 29 31. Peter had the faith to walked on water briefly... John 14:12-14. "Whoever believes in me will do great works I have been doing and they will even do greater things than these." Why are we not seeing these great things? Humanity has to ask these questions. What is wrong with this narrative with Christianity? I only seek truth. 💜
I saw him in another interview with DR. Eben Alexander (a sorta debate) on another channel. He didn't really answer your question: "Why do churches sometimes reject NDEs'? What he wanted to say is simple: Reincarnation. Of course he did not go there.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch I'm sure he does. I don't doubt his beliefs or his character. I just remember him arguing and challenging reincarnation with the "debate" video on YT with Dr. Alexander. If he were to say yes, reincarnation exist his house of money would collapse. That's all.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch How about Deists? Maybe the Divine is letting us just live, and chose our lives and destinies? Free will is so powerful in our lives. Free will is truly our 'Super Powers.'

David I am just like you. I love hearing these stories. Best wishes!
His research is very interesting. And as we keep hearing God is love. God loves us.
John was a great guest. I’m glad you enjoyed him.
Thanks for sharing light and love 🌞 ❤
I am really happy that you enjoyed listening to John. ❤️

He hasn't been my personal favorite, but I do like these things he has said about God and His love.
Thank you for taking time to watch my channel. I appreciate it.
Thank you for this series Heather. We need all the knowledge we can get in these dark times.
You are so welcome Larry. I am really glad you are enjoying it. John is so interesting. I really enjoyed talking with him.
Once again I'm so thought provoked❤ must listen again before I can even formulate words❤ amazing interview❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Jules!
Wonderful, thank you ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it. John was very fun to talk to.
Three incredible episodes! What an incredible guest and I loved them. Got the books in my cart to purchase as we speak 😂❤🙌
Awesome Ali! I loved talking to John because he isn’t your typical pastor. He is open minded and willing to consider things.

I wonder how John would explain hell- he explains God is love and at the same time His word is clear about hell’s existence. It is tough to fathom.
We do discuss it within his three episodes.
I really enjoyed this video so much until I saved it. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

it is not because we don't see something (or that something is not shown to us) that it does not exist
