Ben had a true N D E the brain and the mind are two separate entities,science is beginning to understand this(dead brains do not play tricks,it is the mind that perceives in these situations ). In Ben's short life he was an aware soul. When he experienced the light and the peace, understandably he did not want to leave it. (we are spirit) He brought hope and inspiration to many. He is (not was) a brave and beautiful soul. God bless him.
Thanks for making this video. My heart tells me you did it out of compassion for his family. We can tell by the comments it brought comfort to many. Sending you blessings.
My dad passed away 8 years ago and the holidays have always been a hard time for me, I'm not religious but I have always hoped he ended up somewhere peaceful and happy. This made me feel so much better. Thank you so so much.
Wonderful video! What surprises is that the maker of this video probably did not have NDE before but through many years of study he is convinced. Great testimony and research! It is so wonderful that RUclips was created and documentations of Ben's type are available to the world.
I used to be so scared of death. Like completely terrified. But after seeing all these videos about Ben Breedlove, that's not the case now. Death seems peaceful to me. Ben is my hero.-3 His story has changed the way I view life forever, for the better that is. (,: -3
My mother had NDE, as she told her story when she had this abdominal surgery...she went to this very dark tunnel and she was shivering, the only thing she could remember was she needs to get out of it, and she prayed hard to God, telling she had 5 little kids and needs her care, then she saw a very small light, like a pin point, she followed it, and that grew bigger and bigger, and the next thing she could remember.....she was already in the ward my father was looking at her, the operation was finished....my mother had this intussusception is a medical condition in which a part of the intestine invaginates into another section of intestine.....I remembered when I was a kid she used to tell her story to her friends and relatives as a young kid I love to hear such scary stories....then with education I can hear/read much stories like this...my mother's story was this Near Death Experience, she is now 70 years old....my mother then was so scared leaving her 5 kids, the youngest was barely a year older.....
thanks for your studies Rene. I am at the very beginning of my own study. I am a Christian. Believe in the Jesus of the bible. Not the Jesus that 21st century people make him out to be. Study in the original text as much as possible. My study is going to be in lining up these event's with scripture. As you did above "brilliant" light. although "brilliant" is not in the text (original) it is the greek word φῶς phos and it is a neuter noun. It really did happen and it must have been brilliant.
NDE research study is so fascinating... I feel like the existence of the chemical DMT in our brains, and the fact that almost everyone describes the same thing, and that its so peaceful secures my belief in a sympathetic God. Why would our minds be built to calm us during near death? Why would we be given the gift of feeling peaceful during a painful experience? DMT is a great example of science and god combined.
thanks so much! this makes me feel good about him, my family, and me :D youre a great guy i hope his family watches this video and feels comfort from it
What I don't like about scientists is they are trying to find science to prove these NDE or things that happened like Noah and the plagues. There want to find the science behind it instead of believing in God.
There will be no debate when you die . You will have the answer once and for all . Judgement or no judgement will be answered . Heaven or hell will be answered . God or no God will be answered . The only problem is that when your death becomes final ,you can't repent after your dead . So ask yourself this , if you think there is no God or judgement were will you go ? Or if there is a God and judgement where will you go ? And if you don't care about where you go when you die I guess you'll find out the hard way . Either way , we are all going to die . And if there is a God that judges , what's so hard to follow in his commands ? Loving and forgiving others ? Doing good to others that you would expect them to do to you ? Don't steal or lie ? Don't sleep around and commit adultery ? Most people do love someone . Most hate being lied to . Most hate when their mates cheat . Most don't like having their goods stolen . Most who get hurt or wounded seek from others for help and support . These are just a few things that make us common in many ways and are also part of the commands of God . He does say that he has written his commands on the hearts of all men . When you seek deep into your soul these things I mention are not taught but already instilled in us at a young age . It seems that the older we get the less loving to others we become . I think we all need to step back and really think about why we are really here on this earth and what our lives really mean .
Very interesting video. I like how this video goes more into detail about nde's than a lot of other ones. Watching this just persuades me more to believe that NDE's are real.
Keep up your good work, Jurgensen. I like your analytical style. We need a 21st century scientific understanding of the afterlife. The conflicting religious baggage should be removed to show the essential scientific truths.
I was with my grandma when she was passing. The last half an hour she seemed a little out of it.. but she said that she saw my great-grandmother and Jesus waiting for her.. they were there telling her that it was OK to go. There were 6 of us in the room at the time.. my mom leaned over and told her it was OK.. that we would all be fine and to go with them. I'll never forget that as long as I live. I was skeptical about heaven until that moment.
D. Morris I had a similar experience. I feel you dude. I'm very skeptical myself, and thats not bad. I still believe in miracles.. anything could happen. Sometimes miracles happen to suddenly remind us that our beliefs are important. Love your testimony. ♡
@compsciguy -- You are NOT going to hell for being gay. You are gay because that's the way He made you. God doesn't make mistakes. Ignore the fire and brimstone of organized religion and concentrate on being a good human being by helping those who need it and make a point to talk to God every day. He wants to hear from you. God Bless.
I do have a couple of questions: For everyone who has had a NDE, how does it feel to "breathe?" Do you still feel like you're in a physical "body?" Also, what about the cases of those who are "dead," for at least 30 minutes or more, and are then revived, but when they come to, they have no memory of a NDE?
One thing I do not understand about NDE's, Mr. Jorgensen: in the moments after exiting their bodies most of these people are not aware that they are dead. They ask questions like we would in life eg. "What is that doctor doing; who is that person on the gurney? Oh, it's me, I think." The consciousness after death seems to be in as great a state of confusion and incomprehension as it was before. I thought at death we'd be assuming an entirely different state of consciousness. It appears we don't.
Its a good question. First, yes, many are confused but because it the mind that continues and our universe or dimension that changes (so to speak), the mind can also stay the same. And then its a progressive experience, probably to make the transition more easy for a confused mind. But having said that there are also people who have seen other people as "lost spirits" (ghosts?)
This young man, Ben Breedlove, was a good, kind, you can see it in his eyes, the eyes are the mirrors to the soul...so, his experience of near death was a beautiful one....but what can you say, about evil, killer,mean, monster people? I do not think they have a good experience when they have near death experiences, have you study, and do you have a conclusion about this kind of people....I do not think they see a white light, nor is peaceful for them....I don't know, but if you have an answer to this question, please let me hear it...I am sure the rest of the public will like to hear about it, too....thank you, hoping to hear from you...
Bertha Martin ...Hi Bertha, there is a channel on you tube called NDE's, it is the testimonies of people who have experienced this, both going into the light or going to a place people describe as so horrific it has changed their life style, this is not only people who believe in God this has happened to people who were atheists and needles to say they usually experience the not so nice part of death, but most of them do talk about Jesus taking them from there and conversations they had. A good one to look up is about a man believe it or not whose name is Ronald Regen lol, he was an athiest, there is loads you can watch and see what you think for yourself..I hope this helps a little...God Bless from Scotland 💞
@ChefBoyardeeee May I ask what you are trying to prove by this statement? Also people who have had a NDE and then take DMT say that it is a very similar experience.
@ChefBoyardeeee The same thing was said to be achieved through the deepest stages of meditation. and did this person having the nde go into this out of body experience looking for this object, because that seems a bit odd that someone that is dying and having a nde would be looking for a lost object. I also found no accounts of this phenomena you speak of, if you would be kind enough to post a website referring to this account it would be greatly appreciated.
@ijkokji Yes, people who have NDEs say like Ben that they do not want to return this is world again, and that's because they are confident the other place is both real and better than here.
@theninja2134 There have been a few nde where the participant had pronounced that he had undergone an out-of-body experience where he was able to view the world as a spectator, if you will. One of the medical practitioners was missing an object (I don't quite remember the object) and after being revived, the subject was able to recount the location of said object.
@VespaRacer5 You got it right on the money Vespa... He isn't pointing toward any religion or any specific religious views. It's all SCIENTIFIC research. Heaven and Hell are just terms people understand, he was not supporting Christian belief's, or any other religion. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm an Atheist, and I believe in after-life :)
Brittney Armes.........honey, you need some serious help. You are equating what Ben Breedlove and thousands of other people have experienced, without the benefit of your psychoactive drugs, to what you have experienced with your psychoactive drugs. There is NO comparison. It's good to hear you have 'a love of wisdom'. Wise up...stop the drugs.
This guy doesn't make any sense. He doesn't seem to think the kid is with God, that instead he has a guide of some sort, and yet, he's gonna pray for the boy? Who in the world is he going to pray to? The universe? He never mentioned God so I'm confused. Another thing, when people say they are going to pray for someone who's already dead and gone makes them look really stupid. If the person is in heaven, what is there to pray for, whoever it is, does not need someone to pray for them they are better off then we are. If they're in hell, praying isn't going to do a damn thing.
@an824710 Apostle Paul writes "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". There is no "soul sleep" for believers in Jesus, and as for believers living after death examine Jesus, Peter, James & John on the Mount of Transfiguration- Matthew 17; 1-9. Moses and Elijah, (Moses dead 1500 years by then, and Elijah, taken up in a whirlwind into heaven 700 years before), showed up on the mountain and they were known as themselves! This also puts the LIE to reincarnation.
@theninja2134 The nde allowed the subject to find a missing object that was thought to be lost without knowing where it was beforehand. If it was simply a hallucination, the object shouldn't have been where the subject identified it to be because hallucinations are not real.
found this very interesting, but is it not possible that over the span of 15-20 seconds, just like dreams it could have appeared so vivid and long when in fact its over a short span of time... your brain experiences thoughts and subconscious experiences much faster than real life time. it just seems that this phenomenon could have a much simpler answer than any religious concepts.
Even before watching this and also seeing Ben's video's I have always been sure that there is something watching us all as wel go through life whatever it is if it's God or whatever our creator is I know in my head at least I would never want to anger that force by what I do as in some of the more serious actions that humans can do to each other. I do not think death is gameover we are too complex and way too questioning of life. Death is a tranistion potentially to something utterly amazing.
Heaven does exist. I'am very fortunate to be able to carry threw the memories of dying in my past two lives, entering haven, the stages of heaven and the return back to life in my new body.
This is probable, but I was basing my conclusion on other cases such as the NDE of Pam Raynolds, who have clinically dead for 55 min. and heard, saw and experienced things (that were later confirmed) well past the 20 sec. in real time. If you study Pam's case in depth your theory falls appart and so far no honest skeptic has been able to explain her case using the classical paradigm.
@SEKALEKSIC2 Glad to hear that. In that case i believe his vision was about his life being focused on himself (and not Jesus). Not that it takes away from his salvation, but i believe he missed out on brideship. Again, my two cents.
i cant speak for all near death experiencers but i beleive bens story is real i research spiritual patterns and events that god replays throughout history and i beleive that bens experiences fall into these unusual spiritual patterns tradition holds that when jesus was on the cross his heart was pierced by the soldier who was checking to see if he was dead in similar fashion ben had a heart condition also the trinity reflects different aspects about god in similar fashion ben cheated death three times and learned something different from each of his experiences its as if ben was touched by the father the son and the holy spirit if one researches the meaning of his name it means something like the chosen son is god the judge who breeds love thus bens name was a reflection of jesus and the impact that jesus had on the world i can see a lot more spiritual links in bens life bens ndes were only a fraction of the glory his life has given to god god leaves more proof of his existance and presence than we know i hope that people can look beyond the awe of the supernatural and see how god uses certain people to highlight spiritual ideas and purposes
@ryanellis999 And you can't be a Christian: Christians are tolerant and love their neighbors. You are a religious fundamentalist! NDEs occur during clinical death with the brain is inactive, which means the brain cannot produce even a hallucination and with veridical perception we have clear evidence of real observations. If NDEs are false, then what about Saul's (Paul) Vision of "brilliant light shining from heaven" on the road to Damascus: was that a hallucination too?
@ChefBoyardeeee You are right, that does occur. Is anyone familiar with a girl named Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. She saw the Mother of God, Mary, in a vision. During that vision her body reacted as though dead, and she never spoke through her mouth to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She said she talked to her from here, and pointed to her heart. A book called Saint Berndette by Abbe Trochu tells of experiments they did on her while she was supposedly seeing the vision.
Whoever did the tests wouldn't believe the lights could be seen when dead, and the dead person would be in the "timeless" state, or eternity without knowledge or care for the body, and since the neon light tester's existence by rule if they don't want the results there is a free will state that would say dead man couldn't come back saying i saw the lights when no one wanted him to,
@charginasaur: clearly YOU ARE CONFUSED, as the comment was NOT MADE IN REFERENCE TO ORIGINAL POST, as should have been obvious by it being addressed directly to RENE....next time you go reading comments, try reading all of them BEFORE you try to disrespect someone ...btw: RUclips screwed it up, not me, I TYPED the ampersat symbol, but it wasn't present in the post, but it still should have been obvious by looking at comments below mine
At the age of 3ry i was hit from a baseball bat by accident...can't remember what happen next all i remember was i everything was a white light but i was riding on my toy bike and my head had a bandage, can't remember how i got on my bike or what i was doing. Also had a pain in my heart like someone was stabbing me with a needle in school at age 17, couldn't breath right...ether way i sit it out in pain but i'm all right later. I also had a OBD in my dreams...
@VespaRacer5 you should care about what he 'believes'. His belief in God/Jesus is the hope and promise of eternal life in heaven. If you are skeptical about this - read the bible and, listen to a person who has a near death experience and gone to hell. It is a horrifying experience - and to think that "Hell experience" is eternal if you choose NOT to accept Christ as your savior (he died to reconcile your sin nature to God - a free gift). I am praying for you~ love to you. John 3:16
There are so many videos on RUclips after Ben's video. It is funny how people start making all sorts of videos about their sicknesses, lost relatives and keep missing the whole point of Ben's video. If you still didn't get Ben's message, here it is DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANGELS AND GOD????? I DO !!!
@Soulflytribe04 Because evil gets nothing if people are happy. If you no longer fear death, the greatest fear of all fears, then you can't be controlled. Fear controls people and without it evil is powerless. It sounds crazy but if you really think about it, it is completely true. You fear being different (which is heavily talked about in life), you conform. You fear war or losing money (which seems happen regardless), you do what ever your government tells you to do.
@LightBehindGod -- thank you - well said. These religious fundamentalists (such as RyanEllis999) feel as they know everything and have the right to judge others based on their twisted logic of how they interpret the Bible. They are fanatics! Keep up the great work!
@theninja2134 "Currently there is no published reliable scientific evidence supporting this hypothesis and as such, it is merely a hypothesis" the hypothesis being the production of DMT within the pineal gland at all.
@GraniteBayFootball18 Yes, Search "To Hell And Back" with Dr. Maurice Rawlings, (heart specialist), here on RUclips. There are false "New Age" experiences which deceive people into thinking that there is no hell & everybody "goes to the light" when they die, regardless of belief or faith in Christ. If this were the case then Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross for the sins of all mankind in vain. But it wasn't in vain! Jesus died for YOU! Jesus paid our way into heaven- ACCEPT HIM!
@TheCatenaAurea The kud cudi ben saw is the spirit guide, or as many known as to be the 'guardian angel' who is with you always. The spirit guide usually as explained in the video takes on the form of a trusted or a respected individual that means alot in someone's life
@hXcDiedWithHitler No, I don't believe in fairy tales nor do i believe in any book written by man thousands of years ago word for word AND i certainly don't believe we're only here merely by accident!
@caroln1858 They tried stabbing her, burning her hand with flame, and she was still in an unmoveable position, and her face was pale, her heart barely beating. Many believe her soul left her body while she communicated with God's Holy Mother. Numerous miracles occurred at Lourdes. Many crippled could walk after drinking of the water from the Spring, etc. Something to help unbelievers unstand in the power of God and the Supernatural which is a world we canot see but is a fact.
@hXcDiedWithHitler You last sentence doesn't make sense either. If the "accidental human life" is almost impossible so it's more likely that there is a God. I believe it's a personal God but you don't have to, I understand people who think there is a "God" but not a personal one. And I also understand people who think there's no God. But with NDE, you can also look at SDE (Shared Death Experience) that many people around me experienced. It can be "luck" but maybe it's not...
…2nd I believe Kid Cudi was about Ben’s own worldly pleasures; of seeing and hearing things pleasing to HIMSELF. I believe God was showing Ben that he had given his ears to worldly pleasures and not to God’s word, hence he was dressed in worldly attire, but thought he looked great (“Damn we look good!”). However, God was using K.C. to try and get through to Ben: WHEN WILL THE FANTASY END?? I truly hope Ben accepted Jesus’ salvation before he died.
@hXcDiedWithHitler exactly, too many unanswered questions...if there is something out there, im assuming for a superior being to explain the secret of life to us would be like human beings trying to explain to an ant how tv works. I would rather just keep my mind open to whatever science or what have you provides to us than to think I've got it all figured out!
@hXcDiedWithHitler And to think we have all the answers(whether you're a crazed religious fanatic or an atheist) is also "laughable"...but ppl will resort to that kind of "certainty" to sleep well at night!
@hXcDiedWithHitler Your comment on animals and wisdom teeth is so funny. Really. This is how you want to prove that we're here "by accident"? LOL “An honest man armed with all the knowledge available to us now could only state that in some sense the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.” (Nobel laureate Francis Crick)
...and what does Jesus say about false prophets? "By their fruits you shall know them" - the fruits of fundamentalism is the spread of fear, intolerance and hate, so don't come here and tell me anything about religion.
My 2 cents: 1st, the Kid Cudi element cleary indicates this was a vision (i.e. not real, as K.C. is not dead). The purpose of visions are for informing, especially warning. In the Bible, everyone in heaven is in white robes given to them by Jesus (Rev. 7:9). The Bible warns of those who are dressed in their own fashion (Mat. 22 parabole) as was the case in Ben's vision. Ben was proud of HIMSELF, in HIS suit. I believe this blindsided him to the fact that he wasn't dressed in GOD'S righteousness.
Actually, Ben could have had a "dream" because the brain can stretch 10 seconds into minutes, even hours because of how fast it can process information. The rest of the time is empty to him because there is no conscience to register time passing after those initial 10-20 seconds
@ryanellis999 wut or where does this mention religion?.... I AM living proof of NDE's as i've encountered it... but there wouldn't b any use telling you about it, as ignorance is bliss.
@GraniteBayFootball18 there are people who tries to prove themselves as better than almighty lord/jesus/holy spirit... and judge in theirs own way, but infact they are foolish. its nt magic that world are creatted surprisingly ....u hve to realise 1day...wht u ar saying here..
@BikerMama8101 lol of course this is the reply I would get. One, religion is a joke. Just look at its history and humans are born with the instinct with believing in a higher entity. Two, the comment was targeting stupid ignorant people. Three, it was a joke. And four, don't start a religious battle because this researcher doesn't study religion and is therefore irrelevant.
So, in other words, it's a delusion. I can agree with that. The unfortunate young man believed he had seen a "better place" and would go there after his death. If that helped him through his last days, then that's a good thing. But it doesn't make it true, and no amount of "evidence" (with remarkably similar details) will make it true.
Indeed very sharp debating skills, I noticed that the people here pretty much are convinces he is in heaven. It is a touche subject and touching story ofcourse, throwing in the option that it might not be 'real' as in a delusion/illusion is than very hard. Having an open mind too this is important if you wish too find the answer. I must say thought, I spoke with 3 people so far who had a NDE for school. So convinced, they know it. Weird, unexplainable, story's are there, how can you say with a fact it is a delusion?
that is your opinion, You call it a delusion. I'm sorry but I have had Real Paranormal Experiences And I was wide awake Not on any drugs or alcohol And I saw Something Not good From the dark side. I know there is a God And I believe our spirit lives on for all eternity It's called having faith Believing in things unseen
Ben had a true N D E the brain and the mind are two separate entities,science is beginning to understand this(dead brains do not play tricks,it is the mind that perceives in these situations ). In Ben's short life he was an aware soul. When he experienced the light and the peace, understandably he did not want to leave it. (we are spirit) He brought hope and inspiration to many.

Thank you for sharing that. That is inspiring. I believe what you have said. I wish Ben, and his family comfort.
well he was and is a true light to us all

Dear Rene, thank you for your beautiful videos,
I feel so much recognition..I am a changed person
I love you, Alchera❤
I dont think kid cudi is dead. So would that just be an 😇 taking his form in hopes to make things go smoothly with Ben?
My mother had NDE, as she told her story when she had this abdominal surgery...she went to this very dark tunnel and she was shivering, the only thing she could remember was she needs to get out of it, and she prayed hard to God, telling she had 5 little kids and needs her care, then she saw a very small light, like a pin point, she followed it, and that grew bigger and bigger, and the next thing she could remember.....she was already in the ward my father was looking at her, the operation was finished....my mother had this intussusception is a medical condition in which a part of the intestine invaginates into another section of intestine.....I remembered when I was a kid she used to tell her story to her friends and relatives as a young kid I love to hear such scary stories....then with education I can hear/read much stories like this...my mother's story was this Near Death Experience, she is now 70 years old....my mother then was so scared leaving her 5 kids, the youngest was barely a year older.....

I do not think they have a good experience when they have near death experiences, have you study, and do you have a conclusion about this kind of people....I do not think they see a white light, nor is peaceful for them....I don't know, but if you have an answer to this question, please let me hear it...I am sure the rest of the public will like to hear about it, too....thank you, hoping to hear from you...
Bertha Martin ...Hi Bertha, there is a channel on you tube called NDE's, it is the testimonies of people who have experienced this, both going into the light or going to a place people describe as so horrific it has changed their life style, this is not only people who believe in God this has happened to people who were atheists and needles to say they usually experience the not so nice part of death, but most of them do talk about Jesus taking them from there and conversations they had. A good one to look up is about a man believe it or not whose name is Ronald Regen lol, he was an athiest, there is loads you can watch and see what you think for yourself..I hope this helps a little...God Bless from Scotland 💞
@ChefBoyardeeee May I ask what you are trying to prove by this statement?
Also people who have had a NDE and then take DMT say that it is a very similar experience.
Thank you for sharing
@ChefBoyardeeee The same thing was said to be achieved through the deepest stages of meditation. and did this person having the nde go into this out of body experience looking for this object, because that seems a bit odd that someone that is dying and having a nde would be looking for a lost object. I also found no accounts of this phenomena you speak of, if you would be kind enough to post a website referring to this account it would be greatly appreciated.
@ijkokji Yes, people who have NDEs say like Ben that they do not want to return this is world again, and that's because they are confident the other place is both real and better than here.
We were created by the Light so we are also part of that Light because we were created in His Image.
@theninja2134 There have been a few nde where the participant had pronounced that he had undergone an out-of-body experience where he was able to view the world as a spectator, if you will. One of the medical practitioners was missing an object (I don't quite remember the object) and after being revived, the subject was able to recount the location of said object.
@VespaRacer5 You got it right on the money Vespa... He isn't pointing toward any religion or any specific religious views. It's all SCIENTIFIC research. Heaven and Hell are just terms people understand, he was not supporting Christian belief's, or any other religion. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm an Atheist, and I believe in after-life :)
Brittney Armes.........honey, you need some serious help. You are equating what Ben Breedlove and thousands of other people have experienced, without the benefit of your psychoactive drugs, to what you have experienced with your psychoactive drugs. There is NO comparison. It's good to hear you have 'a love of wisdom'. Wise up...stop the drugs.
I'm no longer afraid of death....
This guy doesn't make any sense. He doesn't seem to think the kid is with God, that instead he has a guide of some sort, and yet, he's gonna pray for the boy? Who in the world is he going to pray to? The universe? He never mentioned God so I'm confused. Another thing, when people say they are going to pray for someone who's already dead and gone makes them look really stupid. If the person is in heaven, what is there to pray for, whoever it is, does not need someone to pray for them they are better off then we are. If they're in hell, praying isn't going to do a damn thing.
@an824710 Apostle Paul writes "To be absent from the body is
to be present with the Lord". There is no "soul sleep" for believers
in Jesus, and as for believers living after death examine Jesus,
Peter, James & John on the Mount of Transfiguration- Matthew
17; 1-9.
Moses and Elijah, (Moses dead 1500 years by then, and Elijah,
taken up in a whirlwind into heaven 700 years before), showed
up on the mountain and they were known as themselves! This
also puts the LIE to reincarnation.
@theninja2134 The nde allowed the subject to find a missing object that was thought to be lost without knowing where it was beforehand. If it was simply a hallucination, the object shouldn't have been where the subject identified it to be because hallucinations are not real.
found this very interesting, but is it not possible that over the span of 15-20 seconds, just like dreams it could have appeared so vivid and long when in fact its over a short span of time... your brain experiences thoughts and subconscious experiences much faster than real life time. it just seems that this phenomenon could have a much simpler answer than any religious concepts.
Even before watching this and also seeing Ben's video's I have always been sure that there is something watching us all as wel go through life whatever it is if it's God or whatever our creator is I know in my head at least I would never want to anger that force by what I do as in some of the more serious actions that humans can do to each other. I do not think death is gameover we are too complex and way too questioning of life. Death is a tranistion potentially to something utterly amazing.
Heaven does exist.
I'am very fortunate to be able to carry threw the memories of dying in my past two lives, entering haven, the stages of heaven and the return back to life in my new body.
This is probable, but I was basing my conclusion on other cases such as the NDE of Pam Raynolds, who have clinically dead for 55 min. and heard, saw and experienced things (that were later confirmed) well past the 20 sec. in real time. If you study Pam's case in depth your theory falls appart and so far no honest skeptic has been able to explain her case using the classical paradigm.
@SEKALEKSIC2 Glad to hear that. In that case i believe his vision was about his life being focused on himself (and not Jesus). Not that it takes away from his salvation, but i believe he missed out on brideship. Again, my two cents.
i cant speak for all near death experiencers but i beleive bens story is real i research spiritual patterns and events that god replays throughout history and i beleive that bens experiences fall into these unusual spiritual patterns tradition holds that when jesus was on the cross his heart was pierced by the soldier who was checking to see if he was dead in similar fashion ben had a heart condition also the trinity reflects different aspects about god in similar fashion ben cheated death three times and learned something different from each of his experiences its as if ben was touched by the father the son and the holy spirit if one researches the meaning of his name it means something like the chosen son is god the judge who breeds love thus bens name was a reflection of jesus and the impact that jesus had on the world i can see a lot more spiritual links in bens life bens ndes were only a fraction of the glory his life has given to god god leaves more proof of his existance and presence than we know i hope that people can look beyond the awe of the supernatural and see how god uses certain people to highlight spiritual ideas and purposes
i was not knock out, but by the i realize that was doing...blank...i did't know how i got here or what was i was doing ether after i was hit.
@BrookTaddese
yes...i am feeling so snuggly & sweet right now i think i just got a cavity.
@ryanellis999 And you can't be a Christian: Christians are tolerant and love their neighbors. You are a religious fundamentalist! NDEs occur during clinical death with the brain is inactive, which means the brain cannot produce even a hallucination and with veridical perception we have clear evidence of real observations. If NDEs are false, then what about Saul's (Paul) Vision of "brilliant light shining from heaven" on the road to Damascus: was that a hallucination too?
@ChefBoyardeeee You are right, that does occur. Is anyone familiar with a girl named Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. She saw the Mother of God, Mary, in a vision. During that vision her body reacted as though dead, and she never spoke through her mouth to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She said she talked to her from here, and pointed to her heart. A book called Saint Berndette by Abbe Trochu tells of experiments they did on her while she was supposedly seeing the vision.
Whoever did the tests wouldn't believe the lights could be seen when dead, and the dead person would be in the "timeless" state, or eternity without knowledge or care for the body, and since the neon light tester's existence by rule if they don't want the results there is a free will state that would say dead man couldn't come back saying i saw the lights when no one wanted him to,
@charginasaur: clearly YOU ARE CONFUSED, as the comment was NOT MADE IN REFERENCE TO ORIGINAL POST, as should have been obvious by it being addressed directly to RENE....next time you go reading comments, try reading all of them BEFORE you try to disrespect someone ...btw: RUclips screwed it up, not me, I TYPED the ampersat symbol, but it wasn't present in the post, but it still should have been obvious by looking at comments below mine
At the age of 3ry i was hit from a baseball bat by accident...can't remember what happen next all i remember was i everything was a white light but i was riding on my toy bike and my head had a bandage, can't remember how i got on my bike or what i was doing.
Also had a pain in my heart like someone was stabbing me with a needle in school at age 17, couldn't breath right...ether way i sit it out in pain but i'm all right later.
I also had a OBD in my dreams...
@VespaRacer5 you should care about what he 'believes'. His belief in God/Jesus is the hope and promise of eternal life in heaven. If you are skeptical about this - read the bible and, listen to a person who has a near death experience and gone to hell. It is a horrifying experience - and to think that "Hell experience" is eternal if you choose NOT to accept Christ as your savior (he died to reconcile your sin nature to God - a free gift). I am praying for you~ love to you. John 3:16
So I have to ask the writer, have you died? If you haven't, then how do you know what actually happened here?
Why argue? Just believe in what you believe, and love each other. Doesn't that sound nice?
There are so many videos on RUclips after Ben's video. It is funny how people start making all sorts of videos about their sicknesses, lost relatives and keep missing the whole point of Ben's video. If you still didn't get Ben's message, here it is
DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANGELS AND GOD?????
I DO !!!
@charter96
He did. You *will* meet him again when your time comes.
@Soulflytribe04 Because evil gets nothing if people are happy. If you no longer fear death, the greatest fear of all fears, then you can't be controlled. Fear controls people and without it evil is powerless. It sounds crazy but if you really think about it, it is completely true. You fear being different (which is heavily talked about in life), you conform. You fear war or losing money (which seems happen regardless), you do what ever your government tells you to do.
@MrRandomdude0 Many and many cases of NDE occured while people didn't have this lack of oxygen or DMT or whatever.
@an824710 Don't believe everything you read or hear - find the Spirit of God within yourself: "because the Kingdom is within you" - Luke 17;21
inpired me to keep drinking my med and do not fear.
@LightBehindGod -- thank you - well said. These religious fundamentalists (such as RyanEllis999) feel as they know everything and have the right to judge others based on their twisted logic of how they interpret the Bible. They are fanatics!
Keep up the great work!
@theninja2134 "Currently there is no published reliable scientific evidence supporting this hypothesis and as such, it is merely a hypothesis" the hypothesis being the production of DMT within the pineal gland at all.
@GraniteBayFootball18 Yes, Search "To Hell And Back"
with Dr. Maurice Rawlings, (heart specialist), here on RUclips.
There are false "New Age" experiences which deceive people into
thinking that there is no hell & everybody "goes to the light" when
they die, regardless of belief or faith in Christ.
If this were the case then Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross
for the sins of all mankind in vain.
But it wasn't in vain! Jesus died for YOU!
Jesus paid our way into heaven- ACCEPT HIM!
@TheCatenaAurea The kud cudi ben saw is the spirit guide, or as many known as to be the 'guardian angel' who is with you always. The spirit guide usually as explained in the video takes on the form of a trusted or a respected individual that means alot in someone's life
@hXcDiedWithHitler No, I don't believe in fairy tales nor do i believe in any book written by man thousands of years ago word for word AND i certainly don't believe we're only here merely by accident!
@TheCatenaAurea They say that it can be pretty much anyone.
@caroln1858 They tried stabbing her, burning her hand with flame, and she was still in an unmoveable position, and her face was pale, her heart barely beating. Many believe her soul left her body while she communicated with God's Holy Mother. Numerous miracles occurred at Lourdes. Many crippled could walk after drinking of the water from the Spring, etc. Something to help unbelievers unstand in the power of God and the Supernatural which is a world we canot see but is a fact.
@hXcDiedWithHitler You last sentence doesn't make sense either. If the "accidental human life" is almost impossible so it's more likely that there is a God. I believe it's a personal God but you don't have to, I understand people who think there is a "God" but not a personal one. And I also understand people who think there's no God. But with NDE, you can also look at SDE (Shared Death Experience) that many people around me experienced. It can be "luck" but maybe it's not...
I KNOW that there is life after death. For I have had some experiences with friends.
…2nd I believe Kid Cudi was about Ben’s own worldly pleasures; of seeing and hearing things pleasing to HIMSELF. I believe God was showing Ben that he had given his ears to worldly pleasures and not to God’s word, hence he was dressed in worldly attire, but thought he looked great (“Damn we look good!”). However, God was using K.C. to try and get through to Ben: WHEN WILL THE FANTASY END?? I truly hope Ben accepted Jesus’ salvation before he died.
@evanom2 Clearly you don't know Ben's story if you are saying you hope he accepted Jesus' salvation before he died.
@hXcDiedWithHitler exactly, too many unanswered questions...if there is something out there, im assuming for a superior being to explain the secret of life to us would be like human beings trying to explain to an ant how tv works. I would rather just keep my mind open to whatever science or what have you provides to us than to think I've got it all figured out!
What about DMT? Look into it, i think it answers everything about death and NDE.
DMT=Answer.
@PanicPuppet06 So true...
@Soulflytribe04 same!!!
@hXcDiedWithHitler And to think we have all the answers(whether you're a crazed religious fanatic or an atheist) is also "laughable"...but ppl will resort to that kind of "certainty" to sleep well at night!
wow
@hXcDiedWithHitler Well, except for the fact that his body and brain were scientifically dead for 3 minutes. How a dead person can "dream"?
@ChefBoyardeeee it is pretty easy to find bullshit internet, but i guess for now it is just one of many mysteries of life.
@hXcDiedWithHitler Your comment on animals and wisdom teeth is so funny. Really. This is how you want to prove that we're here "by accident"? LOL
“An honest man armed with all the knowledge available to us now could only state that in some sense the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.” (Nobel laureate Francis Crick)
hopefully suicide rates don't go up after this video...
@AdmiralSyn Sort of like me.
...and what does Jesus say about false prophets? "By their fruits you shall know them" - the fruits of fundamentalism is the spread of fear, intolerance and hate, so don't come here and tell me anything about religion.
@hXcDiedWithHitler
Don't you mean DMT?
I believed in NDE until I took an arrow to the knee!
@evanom2 he was not even in heaven yet
he looks like micheal. from the office
@Happycats218 ehhm... pretty sure he says he believe in God. Kind of confused about where this comment is coming from...? (Left field, most likely.)
My 2 cents: 1st, the Kid Cudi element cleary indicates this was a vision (i.e. not real, as K.C. is not dead). The purpose of visions are for informing, especially warning. In the Bible, everyone in heaven is in white robes given to them by Jesus (Rev. 7:9). The Bible warns of those who are dressed in their own fashion (Mat. 22 parabole) as was the case in Ben's vision. Ben was proud of HIMSELF, in HIS suit. I believe this blindsided him to the fact that he wasn't dressed in GOD'S righteousness.
@smileeechillld same :D
@valdostaguru This is no place to make those jokes...
Actually, Ben could have had a "dream" because the brain can stretch 10 seconds into minutes, even hours because of how fast it can process information. The rest of the time is empty to him because there is no conscience to register time passing after those initial 10-20 seconds
@ryanellis999 wut or where does this mention religion?.... I AM living proof of NDE's as i've encountered it... but there wouldn't b any use telling you about it, as ignorance is bliss.
There is no need to explained. His explanation was pure from his herd, yours is only scientific mumbo jumbo
@GraniteBayFootball18 there are people who tries to prove themselves as better than almighty lord/jesus/holy spirit... and judge in theirs own way, but infact they are foolish. its nt magic that world are creatted surprisingly ....u hve to realise 1day...wht u ar saying here..
:)
If you are having a NDE you are not going to die. If your body dies, that's the end of the NDE.
@BikerMama8101 lol of course this is the reply I would get. One, religion is a joke. Just look at its history and humans are born with the instinct with believing in a higher entity. Two, the comment was targeting stupid ignorant people. Three, it was a joke. And four, don't start a religious battle because this researcher doesn't study religion and is therefore irrelevant.
So, in other words, it's a delusion. I can agree with that. The unfortunate young man believed he had seen a "better place" and would go there after his death. If that helped him through his last days, then that's a good thing. But it doesn't make it true, and no amount of "evidence" (with remarkably similar details) will make it true.
Páraic Maguire Just Stop!
Carleen Ewalk Where did you learn such sharp debating skills?
I agree.
Indeed very sharp debating skills, I noticed that the people here pretty much are convinces he is in heaven. It is a touche subject and touching story ofcourse, throwing in the option that it might not be 'real' as in a delusion/illusion is than very hard.
Having an open mind too this is important if you wish too find the answer. I must say thought, I spoke with 3 people so far who had a NDE for school. So convinced, they know it. Weird, unexplainable, story's are there, how can you say with a fact it is a delusion?
that is your opinion, You call it a delusion. I'm sorry but I have had Real Paranormal Experiences And I was wide awake Not on any drugs or alcohol And I saw Something Not good From the dark side. I know there is a God And I believe our spirit lives on for all eternity It's called having faith Believing in things unseen
@Sclunger then get off the internet.
