#DeathLand #NearDeathExperience #NDE #Death
It is said that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience - we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
True. Our physical bodies are simply used to animate the soul.
I can tell you after my first hand experience after a very brief NDE, I was more surprised than anyone, to find out this is absolutely true. In fact, ever since I had to be back in my body, I look at people & think won’t they be surprised, & that if they only knew would spend much less time on their physical outward appearance & SO much more on the spiritual aspect of their true essences.
Question did the people that had near death experience come back different because I did I'm not who I was as a kid when it happened to me
@@Angel77_7 we've spoken to a ton of people who have had NDE's in the last few months, and this is something many others have said as well. If you'd like to share your experience with us (no matter how brief!) we'd love to hear it!
I see what you did there, That's true
If you’ve ever fallen asleep while relaxing on a sunny summer day while friends and loved ones are talking to each other….. That’s the peaceful feeling I hope death is.
I can really relate Leah so much. I used to be deathly (no pun intended) afraid of death. This changed for me on July 18th 2000, the day my mother died. I with her when she passed. Nothing outwardly profound occurred, she had Alzheimer's and was nonverbal. I saw the light leave her eyes and the fear left me like a snap. I saw her leave this behind, it changed my life.
My own near death experience as a eight year old can be singled out as pure love , once my journey out of my body began my outer body felt complete peace , completeness , unconditional love , at 71 my recollection of that experience remains as clear today as it did then , you can not fear death once you have known that experience.
Can you tell us more?
absolutely wonderful. have you read "journeys out of the body" by robert monroe?
worth a read. true story.
@@samueldanner1787 robert monroe journeys out of the body. fantastic book. you can get it online.
@@samueldanner1787 No you're not.
What else did u see
I had a very similar experience, I was unconscious and I felt myself going up to the ceiling looking at my body on the bed, but I was very happy up there near the ceiling flying, I knew in my mind that what is up near the ceiling was my soul because it was like a light, and what is on the bed was my body. suddenly and quickly the light of the ceiling descended and entered my body and I regained consciousness, since that incident, I do not fear death anymore, I am waiting for it to meet my lord for eternity
thank you for sharing your story.
Were you religious prior to the incident, or did you discover your way to a higher power because of it happening?
Please keep having these discussions! I am so grateful to not be alone thanks for being brave
I fear death horrible ... my thoughts are what if we don’t see anything what if it’s pure black... what if there’s no beautiful nothing ... it really scares me the unknown
"I want to be able to tell people that there's nothing to fear at all about death, it's not the end"
I know what you're talking about and I agree with this word.
The fact that "it's not the end" is even more scary tbh
@@linebeck1000 ur bodies dies ,not u.we humans are souls
sounds like encouraging people to commit suicide.
DEATH... IS THE BEGINNING OF LIFE
@@linebeck1000 DEATH IS THE BEGINNING OF LIFE. A LIFE THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING... NOW.
I was a hospice nurse and I can tell you people do cross over to many people and places. Sometimes they reach out for a hand! It's pretty amazing
Near-death experiences are real. They've happened to thousands of people, and they all testify of the immense peace, love, and beauty in heaven. I am so thrilled to know there is life after death, and that death is nothing at all to fear.
i agree completely
Amen!
Yes but how do we know that the experience is real and not just the brain imagining?
@@show_me_your_kitties Exactly. What happens a week after? A month? A year? Are we still blissfully at peace? That would be interesting to know but obviously impossible in our current "alive" state. I guess we'll all find out sooner or later.
There’s no evidence that there’s life after death.
"All that I could feel is love and that's what's waiting for us" I really like this sentiment
The girl is just SO incredibly dear.. in her sincerity. I just want to hug her.
I don’t fear death. I just have to stay to take care of these humans on earth
I think if I knew 100% for sure there was something after I'd have much less fear.
I think I'm more afraid of how I will die, will it be painful ect
@@timechangeseverybody3608 I wish I could have that mindset
Am afraid of the pain of death itself and also I am afraid of the thought that my past life would be examined and a decision would then be made.
Me too but I think there’s nothing. Just darkness. I think sleep every night is a preview. It’s so scary.
That's the whole point of the majority of religions.
If we exist on this plane the thought of us moving on to elsewhere shouldn't be far fetched
the whole universe came from a hostile empty void in the first place. so maybe an empty void really isnt an empty void
@@MrSpasticdancer scientifically speaking we don't know where it came from. That doesn't however mean that there is a creator. String-field theory is one way to look at it scientifically. I'm terribly afraid of death and nonexistance too... dying sucks
@@pancake4027 I'm afraid of death, of everything being nothing. And if there is a different state out there, will we be able to experience with anyone or is it a state you explore alone. All of it is terrifying to me.
People find hard to except that when we die that's the end. It's harder to live than to die
@@AnifreakGedsparrow Keep watching many of these nde videos and you'll slowly build up your confidence about the afterlife. Yes, you will be able to experience the afterlife with many other souls.
Our body is just real estate for our soul.
Life here in the physical is like Mobile Suit Humans!
Well said!
Amen Halleluiah!!!
Its free real estate
does that apply to the mind?
As a Christian, this gives me comfort.
He comes across as a lovely genuine person and his paintings are stunning
David is a lovely man. A truly caring soul. Kind to share his story with those who need to hear it. I'm looking forward to reading his book. Joelle / Nova Scotia
My brother died so these stories bring me hope
I've never had a NDE, and I am an aphant so I can't even visualize anything in my head, but I have a deep certainty that this life on earth is just a small fraction of what we are...as they say, we are eternal beings, having a voluntary experience where we're in a physical world with time, and ignorance of who we really are. There's just so much evidence these days, between NDEs, mediums, children born with past life memories, people having past life regressions and a host of other sources. I don't have any fear of death whatsoever.
How can you even type if you are an elephant?
been on neart death also...imagine the most calmest thing u ever experiemced death is a millions times calmer and u end up in a grass field and blue skies where everything is juts for u..
It's comforting to know that in the moment of death theres a light even if its a hallucination or a higher power, not darkness, that is what im most afraid of.
why would it be an hallucination?
Because when you are dying. Your body releases DMT, as a defense mechanism. Thus you has hallucinations.
@@pipeale5179 That is only a theory. Some doctors say that the human body is not capable of producing the amount of DMT required to induce a high.
@@rissa3163 not even a theory, it's an excuse for athiest apologists to defend themselves
@@sigmachadtrillioniare6372 true cuh why would that hallucinations be similar to all the other ones
I stopped being afraid after the people I loved the most started to pass away, and I started to experience their presence spiritually.❤
I feared death for my family and myself. I was so fearful and didn't want my kids out of my sight and my grandparents I had to talk to every day until my NDE.
Can you tell me about it? Do you fear death now..and is it something we should fear?
@@GaryCOLLOMAN. Watch a bunch more of these nde videos and you'll build up your confidence about the afterlife and God's complete unconditional love for us.
I almost drowned in the Illinois river a few weeks ago. Everything slowed down I got calm and it was awful swallowing water being drug down I was a peace and calm and then I suddenly snapped too and I struggled for my life. I’ve definitely changed in many ways.. I don’t hold any grudges at all for anyone. I let things go I’m able to just let my life be just that my life pure simple and delightful 🙏🥰
How are you now?
I had a near death experience and saw this bright light and something like a face smiling at me, it was so calming and warm I forgot about the pain.
What else did u see
I had some same experience, but I wasn’t dying, I was in a dream.
Even if there is nothing, there is still nothing to fear about death. We only fear it because we are alive! Live your life’s my friends
Thank you for sharing your story David; I liked your paintings.
thank you for sharing your story David. this has left me feeling so comforted, and your paintings are absolutely stunning. ♡
This series is just wonderful, Leah you are so beautiful and smart! I am so happy you are sharing your journey with us, it is fascinating! And I agree with David, there is something after death, and I'm not afraid thank goodness. I hope you have found some peace from this experience. - Mary :)
This series has been very well done (and very relatable for me)! Kudos
Thanks Dane!
The more I learn and understand quantum physics, the more an afterlife seems very plausible.
Can u recommend something i can read to believe in an afterlife?
The thought of death is on my mind a unhealthy amount of time too
It should be, then you won’t let anyone wast your limited time.
Same
It’s perfectly normal. Listening to these kind of stories helps
That mindset should lead you to live a life in a more productive way then. Wouldn’t you agree?
@@Coronaboii88 crippling anxiety makes you MORE productive? Color me envious.
Apparently you you get that close, all of your responsibilities disappear and you feel absolutely light as a feather.
Loved this. Absolutely brilliant.
I just think that if when we die, if we've lived a full life to a ripe, old age - that we're really lucky. My partner just died suddenly at the age of 30, and even though I've seen things like this, I'm still not happy that he's gone - and that he died so young 😞
that sounds horrifying to go through, i'm so glad he's doing well
Thank you for this channel, I love the way you lift the anxiety of death just by talking about it with that touch of humor. I think about it differently now, so bless your heart. ❤️
A wonderful, intelligent job done by the interviewer, who is obviously thoughtful and sensitive.
death is nt scary its just sad when you have to leave the party, and not see all your friends and family again. not living any more.
Guess what? The real party is on "the other side". You are heading towards home. All your friends are there. No more worries, just bliss. It's this that can give you peace of mind regarding that in the life you live today.
N.J.T do you think i will se my loved ones again ? im having panic attack all the time.. what do you thing is on the other side?
@@sugaconda2864 No, the after life is not real, sad but true.
@@n.j.t262 why only a percentage of patient with cardiac arrest can remember near death experience??? please answer me.
@@NoOneHere2Day why only a percentage of patient with cardiac arrest can remember near death experience??? please answer me.
This was such a wonderful and refreshing
Perspective to David’s nde ! These questions are so relevant ! Thank you so
Much
Well done David...I am so proud of you. Glad to know you. You helped me.
Thank you. There is nothing to fear. Truly.
I hope the fear of death and the afterlife leaves me after I am able to feel like my life is fulfilled.
You will don’t worry friend, I know what your struggling through, personally I found comfort in religion, but that’s just me personally, try to find things to help you cope. Remember life isn’t for thinking about death, it’s for living
Love these discussions. Please keep it up!
You'll notice in these NDE videos you seldom see any major scars or disfigured individuals which is miraculous in of itself.
Although..his injuries are under his clothing.
David was given a miracle gift as proof. Perfect. 🙏
i recently had surgery and had to go through anesthesia, it felt like absolutely nothing, my cousin died a month later (the 5th of this month) and ive had alot of anxiety about dying but i have finally reached a point where i am peaceful about her death and my own inevitable death,
I have had a near death experience where there was light and peace and joy, and I experienced the alternative where there was absolute nothingness during a ten day meditation course. I prefer the experience of the NDE, but if there is nothing when we die, we will not know, or feel anything.
What a lovely person.
You should not fear passing on but understand that you were born to do this, that tells you everything will be alright it's a part of life. The liveing should only worry about living. It's about survival. Not worrying about something you were born to do. It's something you should not think about.
Thank you Guardian and Leah :) _”I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve?”_ -Baha’i Faith ❤️
Thank you for this testimony.
I'm not afraid of death life is more terrible
Death is not scary if you know who’s holding you and where you’re going.
Held in a wooden box and going nowhere .
Amen
Kendel Khalidashad he’s a wanna be edgy depressed person
Sorry for being truthful. I wouldn't go to your party's if your talking about death my party's are a bit to fun for your depressive conversation.
@@aaroncarter240 You´re not truthful tho
Love it thank you for sharing❤❤
Look into his NDE story. Its much more involved that this video and you get greater sense of what those paintings mean.
Is there a link?
Carl Hammill where do I find his story
@@carolhutchinson7763 his name, David Ditchfield, is in the description. Just Google him.
@@ginnygrig1272 his name, David Ditchfield, is in the description. Just Google him.
Yes. It seemed a bit odd to me that he described a two second experience in the video and then we got a very brief glimpse of his paintings which showed much more. The focus was completely on the lady
This is a really interesting series!... Thankyou!
I pray all day every day, and , most of the time my prayers are granted, only simple prayers, but sometimes, I need reassurance
I think I'm in David's camp where death is concerned. Great series, this.
I lost all fear of death when I got married. Now I’m pining for it.
That's what happens when you marry someone you don't love.
Look at all those chickens now you tell me!
It's pretty common for married men to ask "Please tell me when does the till death do us part start?"
RJ SIMPKINS oh my! 😂 spot on!
RJ SIMPKINS I swear it’s like being beholden to the whims of a tyrannical toddler! If I ever make parole, I’ll never fall for this sh i t again.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Brave beautiful human being I have huge respect for this person.
I miss my grandma i wish i could have a near death so i can reach out to her 😥
You will see her again..... I promise .. I had a nde when i fell 20 feet off a ladder...i had chosen to come back ... I sometimes wish i had not made that choice .. Its very hard to know what i know and keep going in this world ..
You can reach out anytime in a prayer and in a letter to her telling her what you remember about her and that you are thankful for every minute with her and wish her all the best
@@clayton.harmer8399 will we know our loved ones in heaven
@@jonathancervantes4554 You certainly will and the reunions will be fabulous. Keep watching these nde videos and you'll build up your confidence about what will transpire.
I've heard it said that death is only the beginning. I believe this and can't wait to move on in the universe!!
People talk about an afterlife, what comes after they die; well guess what...some people's lives *are* the afterlife. I've known my consciousness was in someone else's body before I was born all my life. People who remember past lives (usually children) almost always remember a violent early death. I figure they had to come back because they didn't finish their lives.
I remember a past life. It was like I died under water and then I was born. Haven't really mentioned that to people because I believe they'd think I was crazy. It's impacted me in everything I do because I honestly believe that my memory of dying and being born again convinces me that this life is not the end.
I also think they died tragically for the sake of others spiritual journeys. We all have soul contracts which progress our specific journey, and the journey of those around us. In the grand scheme of things if we are eternal spiritual beings so what if we die a few times at a very young age.
For me it is not the fear of death itself, it is a fear of how death will occur. That said, regardless of how you die, why fear something you have no control over.
Thanks so much for your uploads.
Highly recommend watching a video on Christina Newman’s channel called her last 5 days. Absolutely beautiful as told by her best friend.
This is the most genuine nde. I love this guy
I would like some photos of those paintings. They're gorgeous
Great vid. Very interesting man.
This was very powerful, I feel humble and energized... thank you for sharing!
Love his art. Very talented.
Those paintings are flipping amazing - genuine talent there! 😯😍
Not everyone is scared of death, when faced with something far worse death becomes a release and not the punishment that people think it is.
Omg those paintings are beautiful❤l
I'm not afraid of death - never have been. I will welcome it.
I wish I could think like you
Says the scaredest man on this board.
Judgement day is all what we should fear. Our past life would be judged and a decision would be made.
Death is not the end.
Thank you so much! I’m not scared of death that much now. I didn’t exist before and there was nothing, I wasn’t conscious. With death it’s just not being conscious. A couple seconds after you die, you know you died, but then there’s nothing, nothing to be afraid of and you’ll be reincarnated how fast is dependent on how long you lived. If you die young, your reincarnation is quick if you die old, it’s slow. But you won’t know. I exist in 2023. The world has existed for billions of years, but I didn’t feel the long waiting period. I think I’m a new soul, I’m planning on doing reincarnation hypnosis when I’m older, to see if I had a past life.
Sending love to everybody💗
Your fear won’t be forever, you’ll be comfortable. Live your life.
Loved this one! I love david Ditchfield
Some people are scared of Death not because they wanted to be alive,but they didn't want to leave their families
OMG the paintings are amazing!!
I miss my dad and uncle so much that I don't know how long will I continue living..I wish I could face to face meet a person who had NDE.
I need to be saved from this grief.
You can meet many people who've had an nde at any IANDS annual conference or any IANDS local monthly meeting (here in the U.S. and quite a few countries now also). IANDS is International Association of Near-Death Studies and is a truly wonderful organization! Also, keep watching many of these nde videos.
I felt exactly the same thing when I had a heart event
OK. There's an eternity-or what would seem to be an eternity in contrast to a human lifespan-before birth and after death. However, modern humans are only concerned about the latter. But what's the difference?
Tomas Nofziger I didn’t know I was going to be born.. but I KNOW i am going to die... that is horrifying to me. I don’t want to cease to exist
I believe him, and his paintings are incredible.
Can’t wait!!!!
He is an acquired savant xxoo I have had several nde's, I haven't feared death since the first experience,long story
Thank you
That chapel is in St.Ives,Cambs. It is one of the very few chapels on a bridge in the UK.
There's nothing to fear about death, if you know where your destiny is forever...
Will we know our loved ones
@@jonathancervantes4554 bru no one knows bru prob cuh we all conscious but they prob won’t be the same way they are now prob
@@jonathancervantes4554 You certainly will and the reunions will be fabulous. Keep watching these nde videos and you'll build up your confidence about what will transpire.
look at everything else that dies, it doesnt go away forever it just transforms
Hello! they would be so kind as to set up the video to be able to put the subtitles in different languages to be able to see it with my 12 year old son who suffers the same as Leah ... thanks
I had an nde too. when my spirit went out of this earthly body it felt soo strong and very healthy. I think this human body is weak
This man is one amazing brave person. Heaven is real as ive been shown glimpses of it. Its crazy how he survived it.
Could have done with an interview with the paramedic or Dr that treated him, saying how long his heart was stopped.
@petr It doesn't make any difference even when that information is made available. Sceptics still say it doesn't mean anything.
@@tim59ism Maybe because it doesn't?
@@echno4727 but alas. You too, will find out that there is life after life. Whether you believe it or not. It doesn't need your closed mind to exist. It's just does.
@@Sinistar74 We all die, animals, insects, bacteria, what gives us the right to believe in an afterlife thats exclusive to humans? Because we have a conscious? Give me a break.
@@echno4727 everything exists in the next life
I like to see full on documentary of this. Is there a full video/more videos?
It makes sense to me that we are energy, and undergo a transition.
omg those paintings 😍
I was eager to see his painting of the experience.
I am not afraid of dying I just don’t want to be there when it happens
Check out David’s story on other channels… more in depth of his experience. REMARKABLE!
Awesome💯❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽🤘🏽🌟
