- Many people who leave their body and return, bring back the answer to why we are here. In this video I'll reveal what hundreds of thousands of NDE survivors learned.

I was home alone after being discharged from the hospital for anaphylaxis resulting from a new food supplement I had taken. I was sound asleep when my consciousness awoke and I found myself in the darkest place that I had ever been. I had no fear-suddenly I felt the sensation of familiar spirits of departed friends and family from my past. They communicated telepathically and let their presence be known one or two at a time. They all seemed to possess unconditional love and nonjudgmental energy. It was as if I was at my own visitation and the well wishers were greeting me from the other side. Some spirits I hadn’t remembered since my youth (60 years). I now feel that love and gratitude for all living creatures is the most profound feelings I can have. When I awoke, my blood pressure was dangerously low.
This is not a NDE specifically as I did not die but my grandpa was a religious man - a practicing catholic and I was extremely skeptical, some would have called me an atheist others maybe agnostic. When he died, I was sleeping in his house the night before his service and he came to me in a dream although I was as lucid and focused as if I were awake. His spirit looked like waves of rainbows light and he told me three things. 1.) I’m OK, 2.) Don’t worry 3.) I love you all. All of this was said through intense emotional ocean of love. I woke up immediately sitting up in the bed and my wife asked me if I was ok. I did not hallucinate this or make it up. It is as clear to me today as it was to me in 2016.
That is wonderful!!
are you a Catholic now
I can only speak for myself, but that was the main takeaway from my nde. The feeling of love and being back home were all consuming in the short time I was there. I did lose the fear of death completely, and that can be a terrible burden to bear in itself.
That loss of fear of death is nearly universal in NDEs. And what a beautiful gift that must be. Thank you for sharing part of your experience.
Hi Stacey! Im Stacy! Glad to have found your channel😊
Just incredible coming across your video b/c I had precisely the same thoughts!
I've always believed in the paranormal (within reason but I'm also Catholic) but I experienced a lot of traumatic loss in a short amount of time that...I just didn't anticipate it and went into a depression and anxiety. The thought of death scared me that existence itself was painful. I was stuck and afraid...I just kept asking myself what was the point of it all, why am I here, and scared of what comes next...
I actually didn't know what this was altho a therapist would've helped. But I tried to figure it out. I stopped drinking/weed, I went completely plant based, tried to fix my sleep...just every healthy thing you could do b/c I just wanted to stay alive. I hung out more with friends (who later told me what I was feeling). I even started praying seriously as my form of meditation.
But my other comfort blanket was finding whatever I could on NDEs, just to answer my "what comes next" question. After all that time of researching? My answer to life is just to love
I love this. Thank you for sharing -and thanks for watching my channel.
Like you, I have been doing a deep dive into this with renewed vigor since 2014 and even before as a teenager when Moody's book was published in the later 70ies. Today and after "remembering" my own NDE at only age 4 and this in a brutal flashback in 2009 - which makes it almost exactly 40 years later -, from all that I now understand that I've been seeking to interpret my NDE, which naturally you wouldn't have found anyone to help process this dramatic 'thing' back then.
I've done interviews for a channel similar to this back in 2020, among them Prof. Jim Tucker holding the director's chair with DOPS at University of Virginia, where Dr. Bruce Greyson did his 40+ years of research. My interview with him and later Tom Campbell was rather about finding some clues as to what constitutes consciousness rather than the typical NDE 'material'. Prof. Tucker's expertise and body of work continue the tradition of Dr. Ian Stephenson, who founded DOPS and centers on reincarnation.
My NDE was very nontypical and had none of the 15 common features that you mention. So in my own quest in trying to interpret my experience I'm coming away none the wiser (but accrued a pretty big body of knowledge on all things NDE, death and dying as a side effect).
The sheer number and long history of these experiences make them appear almost factual. From an analytical standpoint, however, they don't seem to bring us much closer to answering the big questions humanity always asked, i.e. where we come from and where we might go. I'm aware that this could be a point of debate, which I'd be very willing to discuss and share, if you or listeners were inclined.
Thanks for presenting the field in a nicely wrapped, concise way, drilling it all down to this was impressive to say the least!
Thank you for sharing your experience -and for enjoying my channel. What stands out is that you had none of the typical 15 features in your NDE. Did Univ. of VA/ DOPS offer a suggestion why that might be? My initial thought is that an DNE at such a young age would be less likely to reveal features like religious archetypes & life reviews because those are created in our mind through life experience. As a 4 year old, your exposure to social conditionings and life experience would have been limited. The other features (like a tunnel, white light, etc.) may have simply not been stored memory because of your young age... though you may have experienced them at the time. What are your thoughts..?
Allison Arms channel NDE will always be my favorite.
Thanks for the tip. I'll check her out.
@@TheSoulPodStudio you are an idootos stop with the lies
From my own NDE and spiritual experiences, the purpose of life is for the experience of Loving and being Loved.
It’s not a hallucination it’s more real than anything here.
Life is eternal. There is no death, that is the biggest illusion.
There is no separation, that is also the greatest illusion.
I think you would enjoy the remarkable books by Garnet Schulhauser. He has been to the other side many times and has written about his experiences in a series of books. Highly recommended. Amazing books.
Thanks for sharing. Ill check out Garnet Schulhauser.
I had an out of body experience in my twenties. I experienced what we call God.
and forced back into suffering by guides aka archons
@@Censored-DoomerI know right …how do you know it wasn’t these unclean entities that MANY people INCLUDING ANCIENT people trying to trick you to ACCEPT reincarnation over and over again?!?! I mean if your were a REMOTE VIEWER you would know the real truth …
Thank you for sharing that.
Another characteristic of an NDE is that the experiencers usually only see dead people that they had known. If it was just a hallucination, you'd think they would see people that were still alive in the experience as well.
They often see dead people they didn’t know too
@@JoseGomez-n4k True. Later they describe the person that they met/saw to a loved one that pulls out a picture of a long deceased grandparent, etc... that the experiencer had never even met while alive.
@@danbaron9094 That to me is one of the most powerful evidences of the NDE that convinced me it’s a true proof that life continues in a different form after death
Great insight! Thank you!
Beautiful, thanks!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I plan to do more videos on this topic further down the road. I will also dive into the research around reincarnation & the growing acceptance of past life regression therapy.
Be sure to follow the channel to get updates as I drop new content.
@@TheSoulPodStudio I've read some anecdotal stories about reincarnation. I've spent this lifetime being a christian. Almost an impossible mix but I'm open-minded.
thank you
Thanks for being here, Myles.
I would love to meet you. Everything you say I also believe. Thank you for this. Do you do presentations?
Hi Sandra. Yes, I do presentations and coaching as well. Feel free to reach out to me at wordswithstacey@gmail.com with additional questions.
I literally wrote my entire NDE and the page refreshed when I grazed the trackpad. Bullet form: Shallow water blackout. Without air 3-4min max before I was fished out of the pool., hypoxia, heart stopped? I don't know. OK- up to the beautiful white area talking to a bright white light who didn't say their name. Life review (non-judgmental, loving) followed by Q&A. Here's the download I got: Life is a gift (this includes Nature), badness and lack of God's overt presence enable the more complete exercise of free-will. We're eternal, meaning we've probably met everyone on Earth at some point, and there are no strangers. Help people, Love fully. Don't squander your life on money, power, social media, drinking, and don't be intimated by human control mechanisms, especially because no one is actually that smart (compared to any one of us in spirit form). The was no pain or anxiety there, only knowledge and love and even truthful directness. Then I get sent back into this dumb meat suit, like a reverse Avatar. However, I was thankful I had no pain, no headache, no coughing up water from my lungs. I was Cloud-9 for a week or so, then started to reflect. I've started volunteering at the food bank, habitat for humanity, and humanizing/ helping the homeless. I really could give two-sh*ts about climbing a corporate ladder or kissing butt for a 6% versus 3% raise. In fact, I'm considering a career change, don't know what yet. I see through people's manipulativeness much more clearly now, but also forgive them and what pain they may be experiencing. In fact, I went back through my whole life and truly forgave everyone who I could think of who had slighted me, from Kindergarten teacher on up. Better way to lose weight than Ozempic. I have turned to daily prayer and meditation which has been a game-changer, had never treated prayer as a two-way conversation on basically any topic under the sun. Have much, much less fear of death. Also hope for humanity even if we blow each up and the robots take over. It's just an amnesic version of Groundhog Day.
Thank you for sharing. So many of the recognized features of many NDAs in yours. In Your Q & A, what questions were you asked?
@@TheSoulPodStudio So, I get a little "jealous" when I hear other people's NDEs because they remember so much detail, surfing on a rainbow, etc., so I really get a sense that most of the fine detail of my memory was scrubbed except the major take-aways. I never liked to hear people talking about their dreams, I'm not that guy, but even this 'abridged' event changed my life. A professor once called me a 'Doubting Thomas' because, well, my name is Tom and I was being super skeptical and annoying in class. All I can say is that, "seeing is believing." Surely there are events in people's lives which are hard to communicate. Some people have been in space, to the top of K2, performed open heart surgery or seen "UFOs." I'm not here to convince anyone of anything except to be more forgiving and empathetic, a real-world behavior change that even a humanist could agree with. To your question, the Q&A was me asking the standard questions: What I am supposed to do with my life? Why is there so much pain and suffering, etc. and those were my take-aways in the comment above.
Unfortunately they are all different,some people go to hell , some wake up in a space ship, some a pod, some on a different planet, in heaven ect. The only thing we can say is that either a program runs after we die or we go somewhere else after the body dies and it appears random at this point
Yeah most don’t talk about the aliens for some reason in this vast expanse of the cosmos
And Christians see Jesus and Hindus see Yamraj. There's no consistency in ndes
Why should we believe everyone is telling the truth? People have strong financial incentives to write books about supposedly profound experiences. If these experiences were genuine and truly transformative, confirming the existence of God and showing how trivial this world is, then wouldn’t you expect a radical change in people? They’d likely stop pursuing material gains and devote themselves entirely to God. Yet, it seems only a few, like Howard Storm and other Christians, actually undergo such a deep transformation. Does that make sense?
@Metarig what about Anita Moojani? She had a well documented nde and was on the very brink of death at the time. She the recovered completely from terminal cancer. She's NOT a Christian...
@@ciaran82359 I'm not saying that everyone who has had a near-death experience (NDE) needs to be Christian or they're lying. Many people who've had these experiences didn't even encounter God; they just gained some knowledge they needed from the other side, like in this example. However, if someone claims they went to the afterlife and discovered that Jesus was a lie, I'd say they're definitely lying and it's pretty easy to see. You can tell by their character and their motives-it's usually about money. There are people who make these claims, and it's not hard to spot the dishonesty.
Fear is for the potential punishment instilled by the religious folks and some contexts taken out of the Holy scriptures
In Europe and North America it must be a lot of resistance to these ideas. I recommend you go to Brazil and visit som spiritualists there. My neighbor goes out of body at will I recently found out. My hope is just that he doesnt go into my house to spy on me lol
Europe and North America are especially under the control of Satan
The meaning of life is to secure your body.
Can you explain this--is it regarding future resurrection of body
I'm not sure why there's so much emphasis on the death part. It's like it doesn't count unless your dead dead and there's proof your dead and you heard them pronounce you dead. Did you hear him say the Swiss geologist watched his body fall. He wasn't anywhere close to death, but hyperaware.
I don't want this to come across as imposing, or an ultimate truth, I'll leave it up to your own journey in life, to reveal that to you. We leave our bodies daily when we fall asleep, and enter into the dream state. We don't remember any of it, because it happens under the unconscious, and subconscious minds. But we're also able to do it under the conscious mind, which is called Astral Projection. NDE is shock induced Astral Projection. And each person experiences that reality under different vibrational frequencies.
Truth is, there is no such thing as NDE, because once the silver cord is severed there is no coming back. As for the beings, there are angelic beings, and jinn beings. Once you meet the angelic beings, there is no return. As for the jinn, they can appear in many different forms, and personalities.
Take care.
Thanks for the info, very interesting. Where can I find some more good information on Astral Projection?
@@justin7443 The information on AP is endless, from books, to audio, to videos. But in simple terms, you want your body to fall asleep, while keeping your mind awake, your conscious mind in other words. This gives you the ability to travel anywhere in the world, and beyond, in your aetheric body, or soul. Including planets, stars, hyperspace, different dimensions, and realms. The more experience you gain, the more abilities you'll have. Most people are unaware that our dream state takes place in a different non physical dimension, and you'll be able to see it, once you learn AP.
@@Free-Palestine Thank you!
@@Free-Palestinehave you done astral projection?
@@justin7443 You're very welcome.
The meaning of life? To liberate the Soul. It's not your btw.
Why should we believe all these NDE stories? There's a big incentive to lie or exaggerate when you can make money from books. If these experiences were truly as profound as claimed - proving God's existence and showing our worldly concerns are trivial - wouldn't we see more dramatic life changes?
Most people who report NDEs don't radically alter their lives or become completely devoted to spiritual matters. They often continue with normal routines, including trying to profit from their stories. Only a few, like Howard Storm who became deeply religious, show the kind of transformation you'd expect from such a life-altering experience.
This inconsistency makes me skeptical. If someone truly encountered God and realized this world is insignificant in comparison, wouldn't they dedicate themselves entirely to spiritual pursuits rather than mundane concerns? The fact that so few do this suggests these experiences might not be as genuine or impactful as claimed.
most people still have to work a 9-5 job to do things like you know, eat. i've had many spiritual experiences, one of them was definitely an NDE. i don't wan't to make money or nothing off of it, i would rather people be comforted in life when dealing with the fear of things like death, unexpected death, etc. it's scary as you know being a human being living in this world not knowing what is going to happen to you or your loved ones in the event of inevitable death. having had an NDE and years later recalling it thanks to people like these i can rest at ease again and not have to take anxiety medication because i obsess about losing loved ones as part of everyday life. NDE's are very very real. my therapist has tried to convince me of otherwise and i have had quite the journey on the spiritual road. there is nothing absolutely nothing anyone can do to convince you until you have your own profound spiritual experience. not saying you haven't, but had you, you would be less skeptical. and being skeptical is good. thats what kept me from blindly following religion thank god lol but i assure you, one day you will know for yourself. encountering the divine is absolutely amazing beyond words and some of us just want to spread that love and peace lol. there are other spiritual experiences you can have other than NDE's that i know of like extreme deja vu or dreams coming to fruition or premonitions and shared death experiences, meditative connectedness, just experiencing humanity, chance encounters, coincidences beyond any explanation, prayer, pleasure, communion, some people take drugs to achieve these but i do not suggest that, love, nature, there are so many ways to have a divine encounter. they are very real and most of us i have found want nothing in return. some of us simply just want to share our experience, and some don't. anyway, i wish you well and i hope you can stay honest, open-minded, and willing.
@@mylestotten3575 I'm not saying I don't believe in an afterlife or that everyone who claims to have had a near-death experience (NDE) is lying. I'm actually a Christian and a believer. My point is that a lot of people who write books about NDEs are probably making stuff up just to sell books and make money. It's pretty obvious in many cases.
I think that if someone really had a profound NDE, it would change them as a person. So when I see people who claim to have had an NDE but seem exactly the same as before, and they're just trying to profit from their story, I doubt they're being truthful. A genuine, powerful experience like that should have a noticeable impact on someone's character.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the sharing of ideas here. Believing is ultimately a personal choice. NDS can't be proven to be real, nor false. So, each person must to decide for themselves.
Most people who have NDEs don’t write books, you can watch thousands of interviews online and most of them don’t have books, you haven’t done any real research, you’re assuming. And yes most who have NDEs do have transformed spiritual lives, the way you say “devote themselves” to god shows you think that means religion, why would they suddenly believe in religious stories? Just because they had contact with what they interpret as the common idea of all religions which is God and which is not religion itself? It’s common for those with NDEs to see the huge flaws in religion. Before you start speaking your mind on a subject you should really actually look into it instead of starting from a place where you wish to brush it off from the beginning.
How is it you propose these lies would so consistently feature the exact same elements, even including reports made before the term “near-death experience” was officially coined? Not only that, but tests have been conducted where the same near-death experiencers were interviewed multiple times several decades apart and were seen to provide essentially the exact same story with all the same details all those years later, something that’s very difficult to do if the story is one that was completely fabricated to begin with. You would also need to be proposing that virtually all near-death experiencers are master actors in telling these elaborate lies, as you can see the level of sincerity and often intense emotional inflection when describing certain impactful moments is beyond anything almost ever associated with someone completely lying on the spot, and keep in mind we’re talking about hundreds and thousands of people all reporting their experiences in this manner so you could imagine how unlikely it would be for that many people all around the world to keep up the act so effectively. As someone whose read quite a bit on near-death experiences as of late, know that the concerns you express are all very much taken into consideration by the prominent researchers in this field, and said researchers have also consistently come to the conclusion that they ultimately hold little actual weight when you consider the logistics of their potential to exist to any significant degree.
This guy is a joke
Why do people who claim to have had near-death experiences (NDEs) usually write books instead of sharing their stories for free online? In today's digital age, they could easily create RUclips videos to tell their experiences without any fuss.
It's odd that we often see teasers on RUclips, with people sharing just enough to make you want to buy their book - or even a series of books. 'Want to know what God really said? Buy Volume 2!'
If someone truly had a divine encounter, why turn it into a money-making venture? Shouldn't they want to spread their message as widely as possible? A simple, honest video could reach millions and stay online forever.
It makes you wonder about the authenticity of these stories when the focus seems to be on selling books rather than freely sharing a life-changing message.
Thank you for starting the conversation. And welcome to the SoulPod channel. There are a lot of books on NDEs. However the number of books is quite small when compared to the lowest estimates of NDs, made by the University of VA. As I mentioned, the lowest estimates are in the millions. While Chat GPT estimates there are only 141 book in print that were written by those who've had NDEs. So, it seems that most people don't write about their experience. Only a very small minority seem to want to write about it.
You’re mislead. Most don’t write books at all. I don’t share my story except with certain people at certain times because it doesn’t matter if I don’t share it, everyone will die, there’s nothing they have to prepare for, no rules to follow, it’s better to be a better person but to become a “better person” out of fear of something after death isn’t being a better person at all, it’s learning how to act, you’ll be in the same position in the end regardless, not all buds flower at the same time and that’s the way it is and you can’t force growth, you have to have your experiences and learn from them.
@@ProjectMoff Sure, I get that there are lots of people who’ve had near-death experiences (NDEs) and don’t really talk about it-maybe there’s not much to say, or it was just a quick peek at something beyond. But it feels like everyone who does talk about it on RUclips is just trying to hype up their book. There’s a whole spectrum of experiences out there. Some people say they saw Buddha, others claim Jesus is a myth, and some even say they met Jesus and God. Among those who say they met Jesus, a few have had their lives totally change, going from hardcore atheists to becoming pastors, and they’ve given up a lot to follow this new path. I believe that the sacrifices and changes in their lives are what really show they’re telling the truth. I’m really curious to hear about your experience. Would you like to share your story?
@@ProjectMoffBro will you please share with me ?
Just your brain play games….
