Mel Van Dusen interviews Raymond Kinman about the near-death experience he had when he was nine years old.This program was aired on KMVT15 Community Media.
Raymond, your testimony along with others like you will change the world, I have debated for 50+ years whether God exists or not and to hear the repeated NDE stories from you and hundreds and hundreds of other people, I have conclude without a doubt God does exist. Perhaps I cannot touch, hear, see or sense Him in any manner,(yet) but the "eye" witness accounts are truly over-whelming. Please keep sharing your experience and the details of your experience, that is all we need to hear. Love will heal our wounds.
Can you not touch Trees or your Husband/wife/kids/family? Can you not hear the birds sing or the the rain when it falls down? Can you not see a rainbow or the sun rise or set? U can touch, hear and see Him everywhere ^_^
You are god so am I so is everything. Consciousness, all that is, god, to me all are the same thing. Life is such a profoundly complex thing. As beautiful as tragic and cruel. But love is a force unlike any other. It doesn’t bend to time or space it transcends reality. We are here to spiritualize externally, that force id imagine. To love all life including earth which has its own life force also obviously
Raymond, my stars man... you rock.... I SO want to know you bro. How you think is so clean, honest, and precise. A man in whom there is no guile. You are my brother.
One thing I love about Ray (and all legit NDE's for that matter) is as I watch, I can see in his FACE and his facial expressions how genuine his experience was. It's clear he's not being deceptive (or even self deceived) in what he is saying; that he's describing something that REALLY happened to him. It's quite incredible, actually, to witness such honest and true testimony relating to something not even of EARTH. I mean I have seen the same expressions from people telling true stories of their lives and here Ray is talking about something beyond EARTH, and he's really experienced it!! This sort of thing is, in my humble opinion, completely under rated.
my Grand father used to say, the time to grieve for a person is when they come into this world, the time to be happy for a person is when they leave this world and make their journey back home, it sounds like my Grand father was in good company, thanks for posting these videos and sharing your story Raymond
Thankyou , you have made me feel so much better as my twin sister and my father died this year and I know they are happy and I know that I will see them again. It's funny but have have a knowing that Love is our higher purpose and I will try my best to always remember that. Love and Peace Raymond. x
Caroline I am sending you love , 💗💞💘💕💖and want you to know that I look forward to fulfilling my love quest here...but also reuniting with loved ones, and it’s such a comfort to know that they are all waiting for us along with our pets too!!❣️❣️❣️
Second time watching his interview. So comforting, I wish I could thank him properly. Breaking free of religion has been the most liberating thing in my life. Its experiences like these that have helped me do it. It’s absolutely priceless.
Listen to part 1 and 2 , , one day I was looking up at the clouds and thinking on how beautiful the sky was and I heard God say to me there is no time here. Wasn't sure if it was just me thinking that , it felt wonderful, had to come from God, Love what Raymond talked about, hope we can have even a glimpse of that love here.
“We have a brain! That’s no less real...”. I love this statement. I have always argued that point...why is existing in another dimension or in heaven such a far fetched idea? It’s no more far fetched than knowing we live here and now. Isn’t our current existence just as inconceivable ? Yet...here we are.
Raymond I can see your sincerity which is why I'm making contact. I haven't had an NDE ; I'm a researcher and scientist, but people like you confirm what I have received as inner knowing or 'downloads' to use today's vernacular. I had a series of dreams and visions which led to 18 years of research and the publication of It's All Light. I'm sorry for what seems like self promotion when I mention my book but I would be happy to send it to you. It unites science and spirituality; I can explain the tunnel of light for example and why we see beings of light in the other dimensions. I'm sorry too that you went through all those years with no-one to talk to about it, but there is an explanation and your intuition is correct. The conclusion of It's All Light is that it's all love, as you correctly conclude. Love is coherent light and the ultimate aim of our evolution. Btw, I was also 9 in 1966, like other people in your comments here - a great year brother. Thank you for your bravery and honesty.
I have been studying NDE's for some time now and find myself returning back to Raymond's NDE in particular because of his intense sincerity and how he tries to remain as objective as possible to what he experienced. We love you Raymond and thank you for sharing this experience with the world!
Raymond's NDE is one of the most profound I've ever heard.I had OBE's as a very young child,OBE's/astral projections as a school-age child,a hellish OBE after a suicide attempt at 16,after which I turned back to God and have since had numerous more OBE's and sojourns to the Other Side and back,along with very heightened intuition and prophetic dreams.I had the idea just before I wrote this to re-write this section of the Lord's Prayer,along the lines of Raymond's NDE: Love's Kingdom come,Love's will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.The reason we're here is to bring love to this earth and fill ourselves and others with it,but more than that,to be the love that we intrinsically are.Things don't and cannot get better here until we do that.Have all the fun in the universe,remembering the love that you are,and are created to be.....................
Thank you Raymond, this really helps me through difficult times and when I am tired of life. I listen to you often because it really helps me to keep going.
Hi Raymond, years ago when I was raising my 3 kids alone, I used to be afraid of going to sleep. I awoke one night. I saw nothing. But I felt, what I believe was the Blessed Mother. It was like being in the safeness of my mother's womb. It was a delicious love. It made me yearn to be with God. I lost all fear of going to sleep at night. Plus, I also had night terrors that went... It gave me trust of God's great love for me. I am 74, and I was probably in my twenties or thirties at the time. I now have such a yearning to go home when God calls me, yet I know we all are here for a unique mission. It is a journey, and it takes courage. But I look forward, more than words can say when Jesus calls me home to Him...But life is precious and I do not say that lightly!
This gentleman is incredible, thank you 🙏 I have to say that when you lost a family member, you feel grief, because you miss that someone so much and that you will never see him or her again in you life time. But we personally should celebrate it, because they are now in a better place. And we will see each other again 🙏 God bless you.
Raymond I really feel you should feel blessed that you were given this experience and don't let people or churches persuade you to feel anything negative whatsoever. people simply don't understand everything and I believe God wants it that way. your message is unique and not everyone will have the same experience. like you said, we all have a special purpose. you have a message of love that is so awesome! the fact that you were only a child at the time makes a huge difference to what God wanted you to experience. you have touched my life in a positive way and I feel so lucky to have found your testimony.
This man is a blessing to my..... And everyones life! Be humble and open minded in life. And grateful for people willing to share this kind of testimony. Belief in the King James Bible for me... And whatever Higher power you choose will provide the answers to walking through that "door to Gods Kingdom"!!! God bless all gods children on earth.
Hey Raymond, not sure if you're still around, but I saw you were and I'm thrilled. Thanks so much for sharing. You have precious precious knowledge. I can relate so well to how language confounds us to tell our stories to people w/ earth senses and language. I had an out of body experience, not as indepth as yours and I experienced that total void, but God was right there, so no fear. Even as I was going through it, I was attempted to draw a crude picture in my mind of me as the little blob and God as the big blob so I could relate in my humanness to what was happening. As an orientation, I guess. His love was incredible. I remember the power coming from him, like he was only giving me a little bit of it and I sensed I couldn't handle it all. It was almost like a pulse of power (those are the paltry words I can use anyway). But the gentleness towards me, and love, w/ all that power that I knew I wasn't near to totally sensing breaks me down to this day. Like you, I can go right back. Anyways, I wondered why no white light, or unearthly colour of flowers, why the void? I think the most valuable thing it taught me was how limited we are in language here compared to there. It helps me understand the fallibility of religion and all our holy books, because of our language and sensory limitations, and how we want to humanize God. All the religions seem to have similar tenants, and I'm sure part of the truth. Any that claim they have it all are just vain and ego driven. I'm still loosely christian, but I've opened up to the rest of religions as having truth and being valid ways to God too. The loving heart I always had to want to see all saved is fulfilled by this. My worry for atheists and hell was answered by Howard Storms NDE (which is awesome, it's christain based, but he's not dogmatic) And now I get to talk w/ other faiths about God and it's very nice, often nicer, more fulfilling than talking to christians. go figure. I'm sure you know what I mean. God bless.
The humbleness and eloquence of Raymond is amazing. Having had a NDE myself, the emphasis on the importance of unconditional love is very clearly stated. Thank you, Raymond.
Can you please share? you can share it on Heaven Awaits channel anonymously. his email is in the description under videos. He will narrate it on your behalf. He had his own NDE as well.
Ray Kinman your experience is such a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing! It is so important for the rest of us who have not gone through such an experience in this lifetime to hear this type of accounts. It brings trust closer to us. Also, I am a non-denominational Christian and it is surprising how some Christians are so blinded by dogma.. they have not experienced anything and still, through "belief" and dogma only, they think they hold the truth and promote division. Peace.
his humor, his humility, his reasonable self doubt, his story of the internal conflict he faced about his "experience" and how it ran contrary to "how he was taught to believe" is pretty compelling. even if you don't "believe him" it's hard to not find him adorable.
Interviewer: “So in a way the church, ah, was an impediment to your, ah, authentic spiritual development.” Raymond (laughing): “Yes, I’d say that’s a pretty good explanation, yes.” Pretty sad when a priest tells a little kid that they are possessed by Satan. Very, very creepy and demented. Fortunately Raymond was eventually able to see beyond this self-limiting, fear-based belief - thus allowing him to pursue real spiritual knowledge and truth. You just can't pursue truth when you're trapped in a belief system, any belief system, because it stops you from seeing "beyond the belief." Belief is the enemy of truth, as are fear and ego. Raymond has really benefited from his NDE; it has made him so much wiser! Cheers.
The priest was once that little child. They are only passing along what they have been taught. It is not our duty to pass judgment on them, but to show them how and why that perspective is wrong and not in alignment with God and truth. Mind you, I am not saying the preist was in the right to say this, but if we make a monster out of them, and dehumanize them, for making a mistake (like we all do, you and I are not blameless), because of something they were taught and believed to be true, then we too become a monster, and fall out of alignment with the truth and with love. It is in this state that we ourselves will often go forward to harm others with our actions and words, ironically enough.
Thanks Raymond! What you shared applies to me and helps me do the best thing I know about: be loving, be kind, laugh and enjoy. Everything else falls into place if I do those things. :-)
Just watched both interviews. Really enjoyed. So honest and authentic. Having had many mystical experiences myself I completely related to many of his responses to his experiences. I really appreciated his acceptance of our humanness and the emotions that encompasses and how he processed and integrated his experience into life. Excellent. Thank you for doing this interview and sharing it. I especially loved where he spoke of the release he felt when he just let go. I literally could feel that, like a free fall yet no fear and complete embrace of the love we sprang from. When he spoke of grief I thought of the quote below which I love. Tears are like holy water to me. The full embrace of our God self within this flesh suit. “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.” ~Washington Irving
Thanking you Raymond for reminding us we are all human BEINGS. The fullest expression of our life is love. Thanks for reporting your oneness with your dear dog. Our "pets" are the pure angelic forms with whom we share love beyond words. God is love.
Thank U dear Raymond. I to is the reason U came back. In my opinion because U experience this as a CHILD it was pure & it being pure, my inner child & me as a old woman experience your experience while u were telling your Story. Because I know GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Thank U 4 this PEACE 2 MY CHILD & ME/WE. BLESSINGS BEAUTIFUL SOUL & Sir, thank U 4 this program LET'S PLAY, LET'S CHASE The BLUES AWAY.hay!!!!.🎼🎼💎🌏💞⚓🐣🔔🕉🎁🔯☮💞🌏
I believe him. You know why? I've heard many other people with this kind of experience say the same thing. Robert Monroe (author of several books on out of body experiences) said the same thing about love. That the purpose of this world, this existence is to create love. It makes me want to learn how to do it better.
so far, the accounts I have heard here (youtube, iAMS) etc., as well as the ones I have directly been told about, seem to have some significant aspects in common. I would think it near to statistically impossible that the stories would have that much in common if they were strictly just random imagination.
Absolutely perfect. Raymond, you have a very beautiful, peaceful and humble soul. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your willingness to give this every-meaningful presentation.
I love you Raymond...you nailed it on the head brother...I've watched your video several times..it helps me deal with the way life is on this planet...life is hard being a soal creature stuck in a human mass
I have so much to say. That the only way to say it is so simple but complex at the same time. Thank you for expressing the truth to power. We are love n I love you. Blessings my friend
I believe you Raymond, I can't say how my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciative I am to hear and listen to your amazingly awesome journey of your after death experience. I could tell the genuineness of how you walked us through your experience, it simply sounds like something I'd love to experience after here. It's the most beautiful and moving story I've ever heard that I'd just so want to be part of one day. We are called to Love 💗 God is Love 💗🙏 God bless you Raymond for being a witness to us of God's great and awesome incredible love to all of us and the whole universe.
Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. Thank you for cautioning people about organized religions and emphasizing the importance of overhauling belief systems. I am so sorry you had such an extraordinary experience within that religious tradition. It's beautiful that you can now share your experience and receive love. Aloha.
Jarrod Steward in previous comment says that Raymond is "intense sincerity and how he tries to remain as objective as possible to what he experienced." Well said. In joining everyone, just want to say, THANK YOU, Raymond!
Thanks, again. This is my second time watching and I picked up one more clue this time and that is about your faith in what is true. I was also Catholic and think it is a shame that in early life we are fed half truths that skew the way we view the world causing fear and indecision. Thank you again, for putting yourself out there for us who have doubts and need to hear about your experience.
Raymond I loved your painting of the ball of light! It was beautiful, and as a fellow artist I can only imagine how difficult to accurately depict that infinite love light!!! I loved listening to your experience! Thank you for being brave and sharing it! ❤️
I watched Part 1 and at this point have watched half of this video. I believe your experience. We are the same age, & I was also brought up Catholic. I do believe that some of God’s creations did choose to compete with our Creator and now want to bring we humans down to their level, apart from God for eternity, if we choose. Thank you for sharing.
Love you Raymond! I've not had an NDE, but find many parallels between them and my ayahuasca experiences. i.e. the void, the nothingness, other dimensions, seeing and communicating with spirits and loved ones who have passed, the overwhelming feeling of love, and especially the ability to understand why and how everything exists, but having no way of explaining it because the human language is so inadequate.
Ayahuasca is so fascinating. I had a near death-like experience a year ago and it has set me on a spiritual quest. I’ve read about ayahuasca and DMT want to try it, I just have no idea how to find it.
The first NDE I heard about was Dannion Brinkley's in 1995. Since then I've found the work of Tom Campbell. He makes sense of NDE's, among all other similar phenomena.
This is incredible. Raymond is telling the truth. He is a humble and genuine man, and this is a real account of an NDE, not a fake one that someone made for fame. If you go through the full NDE, you will see that Raymond got a glimpse of the enlightened state that all great spiritual teachers have spoken of (and realized). You are everything in short, and that everything is love bliss and consciousness, infinite intelligence. It is what Jesus taught. Francis of Assisi realized that state. Krishna, Ram, Rumi, Kabir, Hafiz, Nisargadatta, Ramana Maharshi, the Buddha and so many others achieved, while living in the body, the infinite state of existence, beyond birth and death, that Raymond got a glimpse of in his NDE. Raymond's testimony is a Godsend for spiritual aspirants. Thank you brother Raymond, for being a vehicle and vessel through which God has revealed his ways to us. Yukteswar Giri, the enlightened teacher, speaks of the cycle of reincarnation, and it is exactly what you experienced-when desires are not yet vanquished, the body is forced to take another birth, over and over and over. When desires are finally vanquished fully, only God remains. A good way of dissolving our remaining desires, karma, is focusing on an enlightened master. Keeping Jesus, Arunachala Siva, and other liberated souls in the heart is the way forward. Forget the dogma and nonsense of religious institutions. The divine flows through you and if that's recognized, nothing else is needed. Hare Arunachala!
I had an NDE in 1990.. i did go to a place of certain separation, was not positive at all, frightening really and i straight up panicked. It happens, not everyone's experience was love and lights.. those are real too. I came back thoroughly humbled and shaken out of my anger and self entitlement i had carried to that point. Still remember it like it was yesterday.
Me too. I was going through major depression 20 years ago and kept threating to God I'd suicide. Well I guess he believed that I'd do it and he withdrew his love from me. It was the absolute most terrifying experience. Separation from God is something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. After fervent praying and saying I'm sorry his spirit and love came back to me.
I believe this and I want it to be the truth and will make this my own religion and call it "love" with Raymond being one of the messengers from the Source of Love.
Great story Raymond. I wish you the very best in your continued exploration of this present world. I see a very mature expression of love in your life. I think its important to keep showing love to anyone you can.
The Light all NDE people speak of emanates from a man, seated on a horse that is also made of light. The brilliance is so intense that their form is only discernible when they make a movement or turn.
I am one of the reasons he had to come back, many thanks.
YOU? how comes? Can you explain please?
@@riseyourvibration9669 because that person needed to hear his message
Raymond, your testimony along with others like you will change the world, I have debated for 50+ years whether God exists or not and to hear the repeated NDE stories from you and hundreds and hundreds of other people, I have conclude without a doubt God does exist. Perhaps I cannot touch, hear, see or sense Him in any manner,(yet) but the "eye" witness accounts are truly over-whelming. Please keep sharing your experience and the details of your experience, that is all we need to hear. Love will heal our wounds.
Can you not touch Trees or your Husband/wife/kids/family? Can you not hear the birds sing or the the rain when it falls down? Can you not see a rainbow or the sun rise or set? U can touch, hear and see Him everywhere ^_^
@@9huginnmunnin93 no, you only touch trees and family members
My belief is God is in everything or else he/she would be in nothing.
Yes i agree 🦋🤣🌴🌞
You are god so am I so is everything. Consciousness, all that is, god, to me all are the same thing. Life is such a profoundly complex thing. As beautiful as tragic and cruel. But love is a force unlike any other. It doesn’t bend to time or space it transcends reality. We are here to spiritualize externally, that force id imagine. To love all life including earth which has its own life force also obviously
What a humble, down to earth testimony this is. Thank you for sharing.
"Down to earth?" I see what you're doing

Raymond is an amazing guy!
Raymond....I just realized !!!!! I am one of the reasons you had to come back !!!!!!!!!!! Because you give me peace after the loss of my son Joe !!!
Awesome awesome guy and experience! Thank you both! So much love and respect to him for coming forward finally.
I recognize him to be such an innocent, humble and pure soul 🙏😇🙏 I love You, Raymond!🥰💓🙏🌹
It's not a hallucination because it's not a confusing mess. It's very detailed. Look into NDE research.

I like his story particularly. Listening nde makes seeing the world differently.
The interviewer seems to of realized this as well, and devoted more time to him then other interviews he did.
I come see his videos often. They bring me so comfort after losing family and pets.
Raymond's NDE is one of the most profound I've ever heard.I had OBE's as a very young child,OBE's/astral projections as a school-age child,a hellish OBE after a suicide attempt at 16,after which I turned back to God and have since had numerous more OBE's and sojourns to the Other Side and back,along with very heightened intuition and prophetic dreams.I had the idea just before I wrote this to re-write this section of the Lord's Prayer,along the lines of Raymond's NDE: Love's Kingdom come,Love's will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.The reason we're here is to bring love to this earth and fill ourselves and others with it,but more than that,to be the love that we intrinsically are.Things don't and cannot get better here until we do that.Have all the fun in the universe,remembering the love that you are,and are created to be.....................
Thank you. I freed myself and stopped going to Church. And still have a aversion. Also feel like you about knowings, etc.
JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF FOUNDED THE CHURCH!! ARE YOU FREEING YOURSELF OF HIM TOO?
Thank you so much, Raymond! Awesome stuff - I need to redigest your story, but my mind is already more free, esp. of fear
For me it's like being lovesick and homesick all the time.
Excellent interview
One of the best NDE experiences I have heard! Profoundly beautiful and so glad you shared Raymond. I felt “that” love within as he shared. ♥️
Thank you Raymond, this really helps me through difficult times and when I am tired of life. I listen to you often because it really helps me to keep going.
Very wise soul , THANKYOU for sharing ! Beautiful ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This gentleman is incredible, thank you 🙏 I have to say that when you lost a family member, you feel grief, because you miss that someone so much and that you will never see him or her again in you life time.
But we personally should celebrate it, because they are now in a better place.
And we will see each other again 🙏 God bless you.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful experience Ray.
Raymond I have watched you so many times, you bring me peace. Your testimony is WONDERFUL p

Thank you Raymond. Your authenticity is very much appreciated.
What a glorious story! Thank you for sharing.
This man is a blessing to my..... And everyones life!
Be humble and open minded in life.
And grateful for people willing to share this kind of testimony.
Belief in the King James Bible for me... And whatever Higher power you choose will provide the answers to walking through that "door to Gods Kingdom"!!!
God bless all gods children on earth.
Hey Raymond, not sure if you're still around, but I saw you were and I'm thrilled. Thanks so much for sharing. You have precious precious knowledge.

My worry for atheists and hell was answered by Howard Storms NDE (which is awesome, it's christain based, but he's not dogmatic) And now I get to talk w/ other faiths about God and it's very nice, often nicer, more fulfilling than talking to christians. go figure. I'm sure you know what I mean. God bless.
THANK YOU RAYMOND, IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, I LIKE YOU TALK ABOUT IT SO OPENLY AND HONESTLY, FINALLY SOMEONE THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND
Really great series. Many thanks to Mel for making this and KMVT15 for posting it.
The humbleness and eloquence of Raymond is amazing. Having had a NDE myself, the emphasis on the importance of unconditional love is very clearly stated. Thank you, Raymond.
Can you please share? you can share it on Heaven Awaits channel anonymously. his email is in the description under videos. He will narrate it on your behalf. He had his own NDE as well.
Ray Kinman your experience is such a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing! It is so important for the rest of us who have not gone through such an experience in this lifetime to hear this type of accounts. It brings trust closer to us.
Also, I am a non-denominational Christian and it is surprising how some Christians are so blinded by dogma.. they have not experienced anything and still, through "belief" and dogma only, they think they hold the truth and promote division. Peace.
Thank you for being a ‘Ray’ of hope to us all...awesome testimony.
That's probably one of the best NDEs I've ever heard because he is so descriptive. Thank you Raymond.
I love this guy!! He cracked me up!:))
his humor, his humility, his reasonable self doubt, his story of the internal conflict he faced about his "experience" and how it ran contrary to "how he was taught to believe" is pretty compelling. even if you don't "believe him" it's hard to not find him adorable.
Interviewer: “So in a way the church, ah, was an impediment to your, ah, authentic spiritual development.”
Raymond (laughing): “Yes, I’d say that’s a pretty good explanation, yes.”
Pretty sad when a priest tells a little kid that they are possessed by Satan. Very, very creepy and demented. Fortunately Raymond was eventually able to see beyond this self-limiting, fear-based belief - thus allowing him to pursue real spiritual knowledge and truth. You just can't pursue truth when you're trapped in a belief system, any belief system, because it stops you from seeing "beyond the belief." Belief is the enemy of truth, as are fear and ego.
Raymond has really benefited from his NDE; it has made him so much wiser! Cheers.
The priest was once that little child. They are only passing along what they have been taught. It is not our duty to pass judgment on them, but to show them how and why that perspective is wrong and not in alignment with God and truth.
Mind you, I am not saying the preist was in the right to say this, but if we make a monster out of them, and dehumanize them, for making a mistake (like we all do, you and I are not blameless), because of something they were taught and believed to be true, then we too become a monster, and fall out of alignment with the truth and with love.
It is in this state that we ourselves will often go forward to harm others with our actions and words, ironically enough.
Hilarious that the supposed source of enlightenment is a source of fear and shame.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us - I’m very grateful ❤️🙏🏼 xx
Thanks Raymond! What you shared applies to me and helps me do the best thing I know about: be loving, be kind, laugh and enjoy. Everything else falls into place if I do those things. :-)
What a genuinely lovely guy 💖💫
Wonderful interview. Thank you. 💜
Just watched both interviews. Really enjoyed. So honest and authentic. Having had many mystical experiences myself I completely related to many of his responses to his experiences. I really appreciated his acceptance of our humanness and the emotions that encompasses and how he processed and integrated his experience into life. Excellent. Thank you for doing this interview and sharing it.
I especially loved where he spoke of the release he felt when he just let go. I literally could feel that, like a free fall yet no fear and complete embrace of the love we sprang from. When he spoke of grief I thought of the quote below which I love. Tears are like holy water to me. The full embrace of our God self within this flesh suit.
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.” ~Washington Irving
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
Thanks Raymond ,,that was worth listening too ....fantastic 👍🌞🌴🦋🥳🌴
Thanking you Raymond for reminding us we are all human BEINGS. The fullest expression of our life is love. Thanks for reporting your oneness with your dear dog. Our "pets" are the pure angelic forms with whom we share love beyond words. God is love.
I LOVE Raymond's testimony of Heaven!
Thank you, Raymond, for sharing.

& Sir, thank U 4 this program
LET'S PLAY, LET'S CHASE The BLUES AWAY.hay!!!!.🎼🎼💎🌏💞⚓🐣🔔🕉🎁🔯☮💞🌏
I believe him. You know why? I've heard many other people with this kind of experience say the same thing. Robert Monroe (author of several books on out of body experiences) said the same thing about love. That the purpose of this world, this existence is to create love. It makes me want to learn how to do it better.
so far, the accounts I have heard here (youtube, iAMS) etc., as well as the ones I have directly been told about, seem to have some significant aspects in common. I would think it near to statistically impossible that the stories would have that much in common if they were strictly just random imagination.
It starts with not judging. The love follows automatically 😉
Love is after all the main message of Jesus - just a shame that so many so called Christians don't practice it and prefer hate and prejudice!
Absolutely perfect. Raymond, you have a very beautiful, peaceful and humble soul. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your willingness to give this every-meaningful presentation.
I love you Raymond...you nailed it on the head brother...I've watched your video several times..it helps me deal with the way life is on this planet...life is hard being a soal creature stuck in a human mass
i like dis guy..cool guy
This answers a lot of questions and puts things in perspective about my experiences in life ,😊
I have so much to say. That the only way to say it is so simple but complex at the same time. Thank you for expressing the truth to power. We are love n I love you. Blessings my friend
I believe you Raymond, I can't say how my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciative I am to hear and listen to your amazingly awesome journey of your after death experience. I could tell the genuineness of how you walked us through your experience, it simply sounds like something I'd love to experience after here. It's the most beautiful and moving story I've ever heard that I'd just so want to be part of one day. We are called to Love 💗 God is Love 💗🙏 God bless you Raymond for being a witness to us of God's great and awesome incredible love to all of us and the whole universe.
Thank you Raymond from all my heart!
Great interviewer and Raymond a beautiful soul.
This is 1 of my favorite stories. I share it with friends. I will look for that book. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. Thank you for cautioning people about organized religions and emphasizing the importance of overhauling belief systems. I am so sorry you had such an extraordinary experience within that religious tradition. It's beautiful that you can now share your experience and receive love. Aloha.
Jarrod Steward in previous comment says that Raymond is "intense sincerity and how he tries to remain as objective as possible to what he experienced." Well said. In joining everyone, just want to say, THANK YOU, Raymond!
What a beautiful human being thank you Raymond
Thanks, again. This is my second time watching and I picked up one more clue this time and that is about your faith in what is true. I was also Catholic and think it is a shame that in early life we are fed half truths that skew the way we view the world causing fear and indecision. Thank you again, for putting yourself out there for us who have doubts and need to hear about your experience.
Raymond I loved your painting of the ball of light! It was beautiful, and as a fellow artist I can only imagine how difficult to accurately depict that infinite love light!!! I loved listening to your experience! Thank you for being brave and sharing it! ❤️
Thank u so much gentleman ;) the answers to such relevant questions are fascinating and life changing . God bless u
Loved the way you explain your NDE. Thank you for sharing. Love you brother. God Bless you.
Incredible story and way of expressing it. Thank you so much!
I watched Part 1 and at this point have watched half of this video. I believe your experience. We are the same age, & I was also brought up Catholic. I do believe that some of God’s creations did choose to compete with our Creator and now want to bring we humans down to their level, apart from God for eternity, if we choose. Thank you for sharing.
I believe you're experience and it gave me peace on earth..
Love Raymond’s NDE, thank you 💛
What a great guy. Love man
Love you Raymond! I've not had an NDE, but find many parallels between them and my ayahuasca experiences. i.e. the void, the nothingness, other dimensions, seeing and communicating with spirits and loved ones who have passed, the overwhelming feeling of love, and especially the ability to understand why and how everything exists, but having no way of explaining it because the human language is so inadequate.
Ayahuasca is so fascinating. I had a near death-like experience a year ago and it has set me on a spiritual quest. I’ve read about ayahuasca and DMT want to try it, I just have no idea how to find it.
The first NDE I heard about was Dannion Brinkley's in 1995. Since then I've found the work of Tom Campbell. He makes sense of NDE's, among all other similar phenomena.
This is incredible. Raymond is telling the truth. He is a humble and genuine man, and this is a real account of an NDE, not a fake one that someone made for fame. If you go through the full NDE, you will see that Raymond got a glimpse of the enlightened state that all great spiritual teachers have spoken of (and realized). You are everything in short, and that everything is love bliss and consciousness, infinite intelligence. It is what Jesus taught. Francis of Assisi realized that state. Krishna, Ram, Rumi, Kabir, Hafiz, Nisargadatta, Ramana Maharshi, the Buddha and so many others achieved, while living in the body, the infinite state of existence, beyond birth and death, that Raymond got a glimpse of in his NDE.
Raymond's testimony is a Godsend for spiritual aspirants. Thank you brother Raymond, for being a vehicle and vessel through which God has revealed his ways to us. Yukteswar Giri, the enlightened teacher, speaks of the cycle of reincarnation, and it is exactly what you experienced-when desires are not yet vanquished, the body is forced to take another birth, over and over and over. When desires are finally vanquished fully, only God remains.
A good way of dissolving our remaining desires, karma, is focusing on an enlightened master. Keeping Jesus, Arunachala Siva, and other liberated souls in the heart is the way forward. Forget the dogma and nonsense of religious institutions. The divine flows through you and if that's recognized, nothing else is needed.
Hare Arunachala!
I had an NDE in 1990.. i did go to a place of certain separation, was not positive at all, frightening really and i straight up panicked. It happens, not everyone's experience was love and lights.. those are real too. I came back thoroughly humbled and shaken out of my anger and self entitlement i had carried to that point. Still remember it like it was yesterday.
Me too. I was going through major depression 20 years ago and kept threating to God I'd suicide. Well I guess he believed that I'd do it and he withdrew his love from me. It was the absolute most terrifying experience. Separation from God is something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. After fervent praying and saying I'm sorry his spirit and love came back to me.
@@deanhansen5041 you are precious.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Amazing thank you Raymond ❤️
💚🙏 thank you for sharing.
Completely authentic. Love it great testimony!
Thank you❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thanks Raymond for sharing your inspiring story that has strengthened my long held believe that we don't die when we die here
Thank you for sharing Raymond - a very good interviewer too.
Thank you for sharing your story.I really enjoyed it. Bless you.
I believe this and I want it to be the truth and will make this my own religion and call it "love" with Raymond being one of the messengers from the Source of Love.
I am so comforted to learn that I will finally meet my pet that I lost.
I really enjoyed this video. I was also 9 in 1966
I was 10 in 1966...grade 5!
My boyfriend was born in 1964 but he is no longer alive.
Great story Raymond. I wish you the very best in your continued exploration of this present world. I see a very mature expression of love in your life. I think its important to keep showing love to anyone you can.
The Light all NDE people speak of emanates from a man, seated on a horse that is also made of light. The brilliance is so intense that their form is only discernible when they make a movement or turn.
I like him, he makes it very understandable.
Beautiful man
