How beautiful and fascinating. I had an NDE at 19 and was greeted by my great-grandfather who was pretty much the only person I knew who had died at the time. He looked much younger and was with his favorite dog from his teen years...and I didn't see a photo of the dog until nearly a decade later as the family didn't even find the picture until then. It was such a convincing element of life after death for me. And the love I felt is why I do not fear death now. Peace to all who read this.
Are you sure about what you saw
MortalClown - wow thank you for sharing your experience, may I ask was the dog you saw in your NDE the same dog as you saw in the photo years later
@@mrsq117 Yes it was the same pup.
@@mortalclown3812 many thanks
But is it true? What does the Bible say?
Hi, my name is Helen, I’m from Scotland, now 60 years old...in 2008 my Mother then 80 had gone through major bowel surgery, she became septic afterwards due to infection which started in her wound,. Her and I discussed death prior to this many times, I believed there was something after death, I had seen some things throughout life to give me this opinion, I’m a registered nurse. My Dad had died suddenly at 40 years old from cardiac arrest, recent obvious to me now MI’s missed, however I think this maybe fuelled Mums belief that we die and we are gone. The day Dad died it was November, temperature had suddenly plummeted and the snow started falling heavily, Mum years later told me she felt the snow falling felt like tears falling, she called his work who told her he had felt unwell and was on his way home, he was actually dead in car outside and found by a passing policeman. Forward on to 2008, Mum very unwell, now in heart failure, she was dying, I was closest to Mum and doctor asked what her wishes would be re resuscitation. My Mum, quite a character always said to me do not let anyone jump on my chest, I don’t want heroics I want to go peacefully, the doctor agreed but said she would try CPAP as last resort, if it didn’t work he would he,p her pass peacefully. Mum being the stubborn wee Glasgow survivor of WW2 did survive. It took a couple of days to come round but Mum said she knew she was dying, she could see all of her family but in the shadows almost like silhouettes except her own Mother who was clear and standing with her, she said Jessie (my mum) you are not coming yet it is not your time, you must go back. Mum was pretty amazed , she said you were right Helen. Forward to 2017, Mum terminally unwell, I knew her time was close, my oldest sister who had been a medical doctor but was in a care facility due to brain injuries following catastrophic fall down escalator some years before died suddenly in June of that year...Mum had dementia, she could remember the war and growing up but not what happened days or months before, she was used not to seeing my sister too frequently, I managed to get them together as much as possible but I couldn’t do that often. I decided not to tell Mum my sister had died, I knew due to her condition she would have to relive that pain daily and as she was dying herself I made that decision. On Christmas Day 2017, I had slept in chair beside Mum Christmas Eve as I knew it was imminent however on Christmas morning she felt better it told me her family were there, all deceased, she said her sister Charlotte who had died 9 years previously had sat on end of Mums bed all week, she said Mum could have Christmas Day but then it was time to come with her...suddenly Mum looked puzzled, she said Helen is our Liz dead? My automatic reply immediately was no! She said hmm Helen are you telling the truth? I lied and said Mum she isn’t dead, Mum was looking around the room, smiling, totally at peace, but kept looking at my left side, I knew she could see Liz but I didn’t want Mums last day on earth to be full of heartbreak. Mum passed away peacefully that night in her sleep. 8 weeks ago my oldest son 35 years, my best friend, confidant, was found dead, as yet we have no answers, then I knew without a doubt I had done the right thing not telling Mum her first born had died, because I did struggle a bit with that, I pray they were there to meet my boy and I’m sure in my heart they were...sorry so long just wanted to tell you x
Thank you for sharing this, it's beautiful to know we reunite with our families when the time comes.
Thank you for sharing, so sorry for your loss, your son is with your mum, I'm sure, we have the evidence. Lots of love and blessings to you.
May GOD RICHLY BLESS you ,you are so kind to tell your story of encouragement to all of us.
You will see your son again. I’m terribly sorry for your loss brother. God is real and the eternal afterlife is real. In that we can rejoice greatly and take comfort. The peace of Jesus Christ be with you.
Thank you for relating your story.
It made me cry.
I’m sure we are eternal in this mortal robe.
My biggest regret is not being with my mum when she died but I got there soon afterwards and I could feel her in the room. I’m sure her spirit has visited me too.
God bless
My cousin had down syndrome. I was very young when she passed away. The day she passed on was a Wonderfully Beautiful thing. As we ccx stood around her bed at the moment of death, she told us that Jesus was standing in the room. She said, mommy,mommy, He's here,I can see Him and she was so happy and excited as she passed. She was truly happy, not scared, she was Safe and willing to go.
That was 55 years ago. She was so beautiful and kind to me.
I have seen and experienced miracles in my lifetime. Be assured, God is good and loves You. Jesus is the most faithful Friend. Truth.
That is awesome John. Glad you got to experience that!
@@wisdaniel Thank you. It is a memory that I cherish and cling to when things get challenging. He will never leave you or forsake you. Always with you.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience. It makes me want to jump up and down.. like a child full of joy!
@@MrsMarks Hello Mrs. Marks,
Thank You. I love being able to Share our Lord God, and His Son, Jesus. Any conversation we share, breathes life and joy and gladness into our hearts. I think of our Soul and our Spirit measured in this way, It is like a lightbulb.
The bulb which holds the light is You.
The life force itself is the electric power that brightens the light.that us the Soul.
The color light emits, is your Spirit !
Some people are loving red, others, peaceful blue. While yet other have a calming green or soft colored spirit which has compassion for others !
Isn't that a Wonderful Thing !
And remember, The Bible teaches,
"Where there is light, darkness cannot exist!".
God Bless You ! Be filled with Joy !
Your friend, john.
Bless that soul that had to move on so young. Bless the courage, peace, love and happiness she found from within, and recognized around her. These descriptions of her emotions are what all of us would be lucky to have. Bless you all for being with her, and her willingness for you all to be there. I felt great sadness at first reading this to be honest, but she left a very strong and loud message upon her departure to a better place. I have no doubt that she was surrounded by love to lead her to a heavenly place and if she wanted Jesus, again no doubt his presence was there. I hardly comment publicly, and usually it’s with people I have met. You shared a personal and beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
Howard Storm said you could literally spend eternity exploring and experiencing heaven. He said it is like an onion with the outer layer similar to our physical world but as you progress inward you move into higher dimensions with different physics and experience. Forever from a human perspective is a nightmare but thank God we are so much more than just that.
So heaven is like ogres since they have layers?
Sorry, just wanted to make a Shrek joke. Lol
One thing I wonder about is in regards to reincarnation and whether if it is a choice or obligation. I like to believe that those who lived good lives could live forever in the afterlife and reincarnation is either an option for them or a requirement for those who lived bad or unfulfilled lives. Some reports I have heard about is that reincarnation is a natural cycle that all endure until they perfect themselves.

I had a car crash in 2010, i was died and return to life, i saw angel, and saw heavan, angel took me from a bottom of my car and took me thrue the big space, dark and big, i was fliying high in the sky, i saw my dead body in the car, i didnt knew yet that i'm dead, then he told me, come with me, dont worry everything will be okey, i flight very fast, this angel was so beautiful, very white, very shining like a diamond, angel was light, no eyes no details, nether woman or man, just big lightning smile, with big peace and love feeling, he took me thrue a tunnel, big long and dark tunnel, i was terrified, and saw all my life existence, my family, my birth very fastier before getting dead, then i knew i was dead, and boom, a big and a wonderfull lightning place, undescriptible place, i was looking like from a big window, it was heavan, angel showed me a big two beautiful rivers moving, near to a big beautiful tree moving also, with a lovely colorfull birds, on my right side.
On my left side, i saw a couple of angels with two kids, smiling and in divine happiness, and saw a source of water, and a big source of light, its not like a sun , it was very powerfull but not sun, it dosent hurt eyes, no warm, no hot, no cold, i was smiling and very happy there, all were withness and green colorfull spaces, all was moving and biggest, all was lightness and beautifull, there was no crying, no screaming, just peace and love, i felt a big and an unconditionnal love there, there was no feeling of time or spaces, all is moving there like a big and magic symphony, then a divine voice of this angel asked me to welcome a hug of this big tree, he told me: this is a tree of knowldege, take some of, i saw a big tree coming twards me then like he gaving me a big hug, i felt very full of new things. Then a divine voice told me : this will be your place anyway, if you accept to live with your new body and accept your illness, if you accept it, it will be your place . So my soul sad yes, i was very happy, then, the divine voice sad to me: so now, return to your body, return to life. Then i do. And from that time, i cry everyday, missing a beautifull place i've seen, i'm not anymore the same person, i live with illeness now, but very happy to have been there, heavan exist, god is too much love and love us more than anything, angels are so beautifull, lovely and magic. And i wish this place to Every believer on this earth even persons who dont believe, i cry so much for them, if only people knew what heavan is, they will cry every day all there existence. And they will understand that material life is just an illusion, heavan is more real than material life. Heavan is big, and undescriptible, a lovely and divine place where souls are in happiness and love forever. Angels are so beautifull, they are made of light, a powerfull shining light, they are just love and peace like god. I felt love of god there, and now i live with those beautifull memories of my travel, and waiting and working to get there very soon i hope.
You are looking at immortality through an adult human mind. "Boredom " comes from fatigue. when there's no fatigue, no decay, there's no time. Look at a small child, every morning is a delight to them until the world changes them.
We could never be immortal in this world, but in the right world we certainly could and, i think, we do.
You are right. He is boring, he doesn't know it, is about him, of course, must be this way, but for the rest of the people is brainwashing. Should change the title. NDE is a new profitable business this days. Tipicaly

You could probably get a full erase done up there not unlike in the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and redo everything infinite times! C'mon!-
So many have died and come back to tell everyone what they’ve experienced and people still don’t believe it.
It’s because a lot of people live in fear driven by ego. They think what they do on Earth will always be forgiven, so they try to control everything they assume to know that isn’t true to be false, and all things false to be true. Consciousness exists without the body, and that’s what they ultimately are afraid of. They are their own worst enemies.
Are you thick in the head? If they had died, how can they come back to tell stories? If you believe that they came back, I would like to sell you some Snake Oil.
@@mahlina1220 Mmm.. not always.
Arthur - Of course they don't believe it. Why should they? Without proof, it's just stories.
@@jonhohensee3258 Oh yes, the old where's the proof objection? Actual "Proof" is only available in Mathematics and secondly NDE's are not amenable to the test tube/laboratory. However, nearly fifty years of research into NDE's has brought us to the point where we can say they are at least beyond reasonable doubt authentic and real as in true sense of the experiencers interpretation. I do appreciate also that many people may find this threatening. Death as we think of it now, as an end, is not an end at all, it's only the end of our physical bodies and in the next 10-20 years maybe we will look at death in a new light, maybe...
A heart attack in October of 2015 nearly ended me, including the weird above my body perception. Then less than a year later, I was diagnosed with cancer and endured the fight of my life for 6 weeks of radiation therapy and a two years of recovery. To say these events changed me is an understatement. I am still discovering the extent of those changes. Save to say I am not the man I used to be. In some respects I don't know what, or who, I am now. But one factor remains constant: a supreme sense of gratitude.
@Lone Wolf That's interesting ! Please could you tell us a bit more about this 'above your body perception' ? Did you feel like you were really out and above your body ? Many thanks !
I had a cardiac arrest and feel the sameway. I have no since of myself or being.
@@jeanculich2529 Hi, Jean, sorry to hear that but I don't understand your comment. Could you explain what you mean? Did you have any elements of an NDE, for instance ?
@@tim59ism yes, I had a cardiac arrest and was clinically dead for 6 and 1/2 minutes, in a coma for 7 days. I saw a lot, I saw me come out of my body, saw the ER team call code blue, watched them preform CPR, and so much more.
@@jeanculich2529 Thanks, Jean, that's fascinating ! Have you written this down anywhere, I mean the whole episode ? If you have, I'd love to read it !
This fascinates me as I have had my own NDE. I had a major operation and stopped breathing. I looked down and witnessed more doctors coming into the room and then witnessed them resuscitating me. I remembered the music which was playing as well. When they woke me up I was able to tell them what I had seen one doctor just shrugged it off, as the other doctor seemed interested in what I witnessed and believed me. If I hadn't had experienced this how would I know that I had stopped breathing and I was able to tell them what classical music they were playing. Some people don't believe me and laugh at me when I have told them. I hope there is an afterlife and you do go to a better place when you die.
There is an afterlife. I believe you completely.
Justine Gowers please May I ask, did the doctor confirm what you said you saw from above, did they agree that all you saw actually happened
@@mrsq117 Hi yes a doctor did confirm that I had stopped breathing and they had to resuitate.I also told them what music were playing at the time.The doctor was amazed and said that I wasn't the first to have an out body experience and wasn't the last. He confirmed that three other of his patiants had descibed this as well. Justine
@@justinegowers9188 wow thank you for replying, it’s much appreciated. Was there anything in particular that you saw from above that the Dr confirmed as true. Many thanks
@@mrsq117 Yes I also was able to see them resusertating me and I knew that there were 8 people in the room which once again the sergeon said that this was true. I then sang the music the surgeon was playing he then said how would you know that? you have answered alot of the questions he was amazed. This is actually in my medical notes because I have recently had major surgery and the surgeon actually brought this into my preassessment appoitment. I also have uncontrolled epilepsy and I have deja view I think that this is spelt correctly, this happens frequently something will happen and I think I have been here before and then I know what is going to happen next. I find this quite weird however they do say that people with epilepsy are more likely to be psychic. I don't know if thats true but my epileptic nurse says so and its mentioned on the internet. Justine
A French Doctor made a theory : "Everyone experiences a NDE but not everyone remembers".
It was after he noticed than, people with psychiatric issues, or taking regular medicines affecting the brain were less likely to have said having an NDE, and also after noticing that 60% of children has an NDE vs 15% of adults.
I don't know if his book is translated in English, but I hope so. His name is "Dr. François Lallier"
That's a good point and I think you are right !
The same goes for relatives who have had vivid dreams of the loved ones who have passed while someone like me has yet to dream about my father or my son whom I miss dearly. If our brains are limited, perhaps my brain like others is especially limited in that area, essentially tone-deaf. I wish I knew why.
Maybe some people aren’t supposed to remember?
British doctor said the same thing.
That is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
What I learn from my near death experience, we do live for ever ; and there is not death its only you became aware you; are living for EVER. You know that when you come back.

My " Out of Body " Experience happened in 1972 when I was 29 . I am now 79 this next June 2022. It's an experience I can remember as though it happened last night
Can you tell about it please?
Only the living fear death. I don’t mind dying, just don’t want to be there when it happens. Every shiny toy, that at first brings you joy, will always start to cloy and annoy. Every camera, every phone, all the music that you own, won’t change the fact you’re all alone. Every piece of land, all the cities that you’ve planned, will crumble, to tiny grains of sand. Everything you find that at first seems to shine, always turns into the same old grind - thank God we aren’t stuck here forever!
Love that. I wish i could copy it.
This life in itself is never the same forever. Things are always Changing.
@@AmazingStoryDewd the meaning of life IS change.
Except Rush. I never get tired of Rush. I can listen to them forever. I believe their music transcends time. And I have to tell you. I've haven't gotten tired of them. I wear out first before my love to listen to theme does.
With everything else ... I may agree. Well. Maybe. Yeah.

I believe everyone who has died and came back had a near death experience but most people are not going to remember the experience due to the limitations and faulty apparatus of the physical brain (the filter which veils the communication from the real world the immaterial reality). Therefore it's no surprise that most people who survived death don't report a near death experience.
thats right i think ... some areas of their physical brain are totally inactive to be able to store information.
I think you are on to something, I was Just thinking about those who say have experiences yet don't remember/bring anything back....the possible why's are just fascinating to me
How do any experience it than? And why do none of them bring back evidence of it being outside of the physical?
Hallucinogenic drugs produce identical experience . !! No need for Death....
@@UHFStation1 how can you bring back evidence from an immaterial spiritual reality? What most people don’t realize is that the physical world is an allusion. Solid objects only exists within the mind.
Also, as far as “the dream state“ goes, most NDE errors say that that “dream state “is the most real experience they’ve had. Especially compared to this life.
Astral projection, OBE felt every bit real. One time I entered an experience before fell asleep. Not just while sleeping, which is more likely and common. A ex girlfriend told me as a child she would often pop out of her body and see herself and freak out about that happening. Her mom could tell that something was off during the time that she was not in her body..she'd try to get her to respond. Forgot to mention it was happening to her in the daytime while completely awake
There's also the fact that in dream states, the brain is actually very active, especially in the pineal gland. But none of that same brain activity is there in most NDE's, as they often occur when the patient is declared clinically dead
@@alenkratohvil7222, That is considered REMOTE VIEWING!
Had something similar! Feels unreal
We live on a "Slave Planet" we are learning lessons here then we move on to another frequency band. Right now is the big test of LOVE, if we don't learn, we stay, if we learn we ascend...
Without having money, this planet is too expensive to enjoy.
If you read more about NDE's and people's experiences, the possibility of immortality doesn't seem that bleak, there's a never ending amount of experiences and interests to keep us busy seemingly forever... and thanks VERY MUCH to you, John Martin Fischer, you're a great speaker and this was a terrific interview!
Reading hundreds of life reviews, based on many of the negative life reviews I’ve read, the person actually feels deeply every thing he dished out to others as if he Became that other person feeling his abuse as well as the ripple effects of his behavior and hatred, as felt by the victim’s loved ones, and the path change that he Caused to others. And that there’s perfect justice. You as the soul are very responsible.
It's because everyone is a child of God. God experiences everything together with us, and it's his way of telling us what we did to him, as another person. That's why forgiving people is so important.
💯 that's the truth 💯
@@sarahg3500 The seperate individual is itself an illusion. It's all imagination. No sin can ever touch our real being, and we are the source of God! All being is one.
Are you kidding me? Who wants to keep waking up in this world every day forever? Not me! This world is a big nightmare!
Becky Weaver they said Earth was made in sin
I think you're missing the point. For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son...You see, God's Earth is an amazing place in and of itself, the whole experience is a GIFT from God. It only lasts for a blink of the eye compared with Eternity. While we're here, we experience life, we express our eternal selves here, which is intended to be an amazing one-time deal, and then we move back to home (eternity) and be with God forever. Try to see and be part of the beauty which in embedded in the Earth He created, in and of itself. Reach out to Jesus and the Holy Ghost while you're here for enilghtenment and they can and will help you find the beauty if you're having difficulty.
The world its self is not a nightmare I'm sure you mean the people that inhabit it are making it a nightmare. On the other hand many people strive every day to bring peace, hope and Love into this world.
@@SpaceDin0 how could an earth created by God own hands be created in Sin God could not build something sinful he would cease to be God..
David Starr take the humans out of the equation. Nature is a killing field , animals are sometimes eaten alive ,some are tortured for sport ( see chimpanzees) etc. , nature is not some Disney movie . This world is evil even without humans , with humans it is hell.
I had an experience back in the sixties on a jet plane and ran into a freak snowstorm. Plane was jumping we were told we couldn't land at logan , all airports were shut down, so after quite a long time and then being told to get in crash position, everything was getting thrown around and hail and snow was hitting the windows. I was sure we were going to crash and all at once a peace came over me as we were going down trying to land at saracuse new York that didnt have a long enough runway for a large jet. It was a runway for pipercubs. The generator went out and as I had pillow over my head bent down in crash position and going down a peace came over me and I saw my whole life pass before my eyes. It was like a slide show of everything that happened my whole life. When we finally hit the runway we were bumping around, went off the runway into the snow and finally came to a stop. I thought I was dead at first. I never told anybody what I experienced in my mind because I thought people would think I was crazy. Years later told my husband about it and tried to explain it to him. I don't think he ever understood it. Can someone out there please explain what happened to me. I am 75 yrs old and to this day I still remember every single detail.
maybe the brain recalls your life in the moments before death if you know it is coming
Books like HANDS OF LIGHT written by the physicist Barbara Brennan say time is simultaneous. That means if you stop the world from spinning, what you have got is now. Now is full of many dimensions all within the same space. We are able to see lives we have had in other dimensions because they are here in simultaneous time. We are in a video that can go forwards and backwards.
@@pureenergy4578 She is not a physicist any more than I am an expert in English Studies. Like me she got a masters but failed to get to doctoral level. She has made a ton of money from her spiritual healing school and books - well done to her for that.
My mother also reported time slowing down and a calm coming over her and just relaxing to lay down in the car during a near-crash... maybe it has to do with jumping over to a different timeline, where life was spared at the last minute due to reasons unseen. Too cool! :D
@@rachellicee2380 thank you for telling me this about your mother. It's the first time I've heard the same thing that happened to me. You have helped me alot knowing someone else went through the same feelings that I had. GOD bless you.
I had a near death experience in 1987, or 88, yes I rose above my body after a blow to my RIGHT side of my brain causing subdural hematoma. I was looking down on myself laying on a table with orderlies around me, and I was outside a round encased piece of equiptment, m.r.i. I think, but above me was white seashells, as if the ceiling was covered. I've thought about this for over 34 years now. And I believe that I was looking at my body through my soul itself, while these seashells were Angel wings. Thankyou
Beautiful.
I am excited to know, one day I will get to experience it, go back home and be with my family again.

Dear speaker, I am an NDE experiencer of multiple times. Having Listened to hundreds of testimonials as well as Moody's, Alexander's and Mary Neal's experiences, your argument lacks conviction due to its weakness. Please note the tone of the voice of those who have posted extensive videos in order to acknowledge an ultra human, heavenly aspect to their tone of voice that speaks for their transformation. The elevation of consciousness I experienced personally transformed me and my voice to the point of my own amazement. I just hope for those in doubt of the truth of NDE and life after life to pay more attention to the relevance and congruity of NDE experiencers and their attractive and convincing tone of voice, touched by the divine force.
You have to understand he is part of the elite priesthood of Materialism. He can't sound to be totally convinced that there is a devine nature of our existence without suffering consequences. Honestly I am actually surprised they granted so much money for such a topic that is free on the internet and goes against all modern scientific dogma.
I agree
I agree with you. I have commented above with my views. Certainly in recent years, I have rarely come across anyone so unenlightened. He is just miles away from any true understanding. What sort of BS is "What if you get bored?" I couldn't be bothered to make it the whole way through the video.
Incidentally, I have never had an NDE but I am not in doubt about there being life after this. I'm amazed that Fischer could look at the huge body of evidence (if indeed he did - and I suspect he didn't) and come away with the opposite view.
@@ChristianRThomas the "evidence " is from anecdotal evidence that buy their nature are hard to replicate and easy to fall prey to conformation and or expectancy bias. The evidence is by no means conclusive. Interesting, worth further consideration, buy not conclusive
Death is not ( like an eternal general anesthesia ). I had a out of body experience, and I was fully conscious. I was me without a body, and I was fully aware and I was me with the same personality...I was not sick, I was at home resting one afternoon ...this experience I assume lasted for about 5 minutes...
Your experience is called an out of body experience. Have you ever been under anesthesia, which is different? It is when you black out and no visions no nothing. Just like when a person goes in to a deep sleep and blacks out with no dreams to recall. There are studies of the brain waves as in different levels of sleep.
During my teens I was able to "Astral Travel", a very real out-of-body experience indeed. I recorded these events in my little book "Four Minutes Past Midnight", so named because I have proof that the proverbial doomsday clock keeps ticking beyond the figurative hour of midnight. What more could I do to help people understand? Instead my own family (and possibly others) believe that I am mad. Ah well....
We are eternal spiritual beings (souls) having a brief physical experience in a human body. Consciousness existed before birth and will continue after death.
There is heaven and hell right? So its very important that you behave in this life, so that you can't go to hell
@@sachadalkiran6594 hell is a man made myth ,we are a spark of the divine and we are not our minds or bodies, once we finish this existence our souls all go back home, heaven, some but very few people who experienced hell in a near death experiences and those who believe in a hell, it's only for a period that they seem to go to hell but eventually they do meet with an angelic being or jesus who takes them out and into the light and into heaven, I call hell the astral plane it's the next dimension from the physical plane, there are many dimensions and at the time of death we experience the level planets that we are vibrating at, so if you live a spiritual loving positive life you will naturally bypass the lower realms, and if you died in a very negative and lower energy vibration it's possible that you might experience the lower level realms where other lower energy exists, like some call demons and lots soul. God is not a punishing, judgmental and angry being, it's a pure unconditional loving energy that can't be described by anyone even those who have experienced it's presence, the only definition that they could put in words is pure unconditional love and acceptance, and that there is nothing you can do wrong in God's eyes. Religion is man made, get spiritual and love, think only pure loving thoughts and try not to judge too much just be more present and stay positive
so we get deleted basically,, we dont remember other lives.. wtf is the point then.. So basically when you’re dead u Will never exist again..Since you get your memory deleted.. So you don’t exist.
.Would be nice to have a choice in the matter..Come back or not to come back
How do you know consciousness existed BEFORE birth?
People can leave their bodies intentionally in a very beautiful way, it doesn't have to be a near death experience.. Just meditate and eventually you will have a mystical experience. Most people get a complete download of knowledge of everything in the universe in this type of experience. Millions of people are healing from chronic illnesses with these methods instantly. We are energy, and not just this physical body..we are pure love and anything is possible when you discover this truth to life ❤️ my journey of understanding this concept began with watching Joe Dispenza TH-cam page. Hearing his personal story and seeing how many people he helps now is spectacular. Then I went down an amazing rabbit hole and dug deeper to bigger understandings. The information is there for us when we are ready to know and when we are open to letting that knowledge in ❤️
About what I understand about NDEs is that time is not linear. The people that come back tend to say that time seems to be all happening at once. That wound make the use for the word immortal or immortality obsolete.
Doug K - I think that God has a thought and we are that thought...all at once...in a moment to God...but to us it is a long time...we live the thought. It's like us daydreaming... we are God's daydream... that's why it all happens at once... : )
Doug///// No, everything is not all happening at once. Read "The Unobstructed Universe" by White. There is a full chapter in there that discusses time.
On the other side it’s the eternal time of NOW
There are blind people who see during their NDE. Their stories are here search blind NDE experiencers.
I never seen one like that,,, sounds very interesting,,, TY , I will certainly watch those available,,, 😁🖒✌🕇💕💕
@@Jack-fw7wd and if they have been blind from Birth Duh! You don't have to be demeaning and disrespectful because your blind to things outside of what you can control or you are capable of understanding.
All senses are heightened when we leave our body.
Thank you! Learned something new today. Going check it out...
Jack Ramalon sorry Jack I have listened to the blind from birth describe dreams, they dream textures, smells, tastes not color.
I dont think a NEAR death experience can answer the question of What happens AFTER death. Just because we are NEAR doesnt mean we are at the destination that is death.
This happened to me when I was 20 after an accident. I'm 66 now but the experience seems like it happened yesterday.
It was over-the-top beautiful! So much love, sooo much love. I didn't see anything but there was this hum vibration accompanying the love (or vice versa).
The speed I was traveling was, well...I don't, very fast.
I was sent back. Told "No, you haven't done service."
A most beautiful experience
I was raised in a cult that didn't believe in Jesus. I had surgery and felt myself floating out. I couldn't stop it and knew I was leaving my body. The cult didn't believe in such things. My last thought before I was free of body was, "so this is death". Suddenly I was going up to a light so bright it would have burnt physical eyes. As I was lifted pulses of unimaginable love was entering me. I got to the point of what I call well lit eternity. The brightness and love was amazing. The amazing thing to me was I knew contrary to my up bringing I was going to Jesus. No doubt of that at all. I heard my baby cry behind me. I couldn't turn my body from this amazing love but I did turn my head and saw her. I raised my arm forward and yes my old body was laying in surgery while I had a new body. I wasn't ghostly mist, I had a body I saw my arm. Several times I said, I'm not ready let me go back. Each time I said that the love entering me grew more intense. It felt so wonderful part of me wanted to go all the way, part of me wanted to go back. Finally I begged once more, let me go back, I'm not ready. I stopped and began going backwards back to the old body. I kept saying thank you thank you. I woke with a tube in my throat. My first thought was, I'm back, thank you. When I left the hospital I told my husband about my experience. The next day three elders from this church was at the house and wanted to hear this experience. Their purpose was to convince me I was wrong. This is what I told them. "If the world is blind then suddenly one persons blinders are ripped off, you say excitedly I see trees, colors, clouds, animals. No one else has seen this. They don't understand. But you know it exist". That was when they closed their bibles and walked to the door. They told my husband I was demon possessed and to divorce me. We got a divorce because I could no longer go to that church and I knew I needed to learn about who I was going to when in spirit. When my father was leaving this world his last week he kept asking me if I saw the ship. He was seeing a ship of colors we don't know here. He said it was so beautiful and each day it got closer till he saw people on it. Before he left I told him, dad the ship is here now and his eyes opened wide and he looked up and was taken.
I'm so sorry to hear how negatively the people around you responded.. but there's one bible verse that came to my mind concerning spiritual blindness:
John 14:17-20
..the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
May I ask what church this was?
My best friend had a dream of a ship in the sky and a lot of people were on it having a good time. She could hear them and I think she heard music. But it was like it was heavenly.
Pretty amazing but not surprising that your church pulled the devil card on your experience. When you have the real answers religion loses its grip on your soul.
The NDE's aren't about living forever on earth, but going on to the next dimension (what ever that is...heaven, or a place of growth and understanding etc.) where there is infinite possibilities and learning opportunities. So, eternal life is always evolving and emerging...not boring!
If we're lucky enough to get to heaven. It goes on for infenaty. So by living forever. heaven is big enough to live forever. With no sadness. Just love joy and peace.
My name is Howard and I have been to a place of pure comfort or no drama. I did not hurt anymore but I wakeup and every one of my joints hurt. I don't know if I died or not. I have different feelings about what happened. I just don't know. My way of thinking is it would be cruel to live for every. I don't want to I am 69 years old.
I used to totally resonate with the “wouldn’t living forever get boring” question.
At least from the Christian perspective of heaven it is solved in my mind by the infinite depth of the complexity of god. Psalms 27 talks about gazing upon the beauty of god and inquiring in his presence forever. Of course inquiring of an infinitely complex being is impossible to comprehend, But the kicker is gods infinite beauty and goodness. If you truly believe gods beauty is infinite, it can most certainly accommodate an infinite timeline which is why Christians believe the true gift of heaven is god himself.
I have no fear of an eternity of love. Adoring Krishna or whomever.
1 Corinthian 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." This side of life is a shadow of the things to come.
Total annihilation is scary. Imagine living for 50, 60, 70 or more years then all of a sudden not existing anymore ? Not breathing anymore, and never seeing our deceased loved ones again ? That's just horrible. I want to be reunited with my husband and my parents in the afterlife. If not than life makes no sense.
I recomend two good articale for read.. 1 The Journey after Death The Religion of Islam.. 2 Death and the Hereafter Islamic Pamphlets
We were all non-existent for much of eternity prior to being born. Sixty to ninety years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. I fear immortality more than anything, life is nothing but pain and drudgery sprinkled with pleasure here and there.
We are immortal but the body changes states like a butterfly. But the main part of us continues because we are immortal. Some have taken their mortal bodies and transformed from inside out like Enoch and Yeshua. I went through an Airport and the Security, said I had something glowing inside of me.
This is like someone who has NEVER eaten macaroni and cheese trying to tell you what it tastes like. I had a NDE in 1984 and I feel the only people worth listening to on the subject are those whom have experienced it themselves.
This guy is a materialist he's talking about brain scans he s not aware that we are multidemsional eternal beings we reincarnate to different experiences we evolved thru experience people are starting to wake up science has a long way to go
Hallucinations before the brain dies ,That’s all you’re seeing...

What was like? I just lost my Beautiful Son he was 28, last December. I'm so Devastated & Lost. I need answers as I hope with all my heart and soul he is in a blissful wondrous place... 😢😢
I was 3 minutes in this video and I'm like nope. This guy is lost. I have never had a NDE but I've listened to many stories on that subject and so many other types. I'm not to pleased with his conclusions.. Feels like he's going to confuse people 🤷♀️
@@Pinkielover talking from your experience lol
This hour felt like a lifetime
With respect I am listening to this for about 3rd time cos keep getting lost on it but all the same your comment was really funny.
I'm a woman and I can tell you very assuredly that reincarnation or living forever does not necessarily appeal to us because we are freaking worn out and worn down in this life
Sounds like a woman who is very wise
I am a woman also and I agree with you Bobbi. I'm so tired and looking forward to hopefully leaving this world for peace...... just peace.
but maybe as you evolve, in your next reincarnation you become a man.... just teasing
Bobbi Wilhite ...not a wise comment. The POINT is that the next life is utterly without care or restrictions or confinement or pain. It’s an entry into the Creator’s life. Life in its wholeness.
It’s got nothing to do with a ‘carrying on’ of this life.
Bobbi Wilhite I’m not coming back again!

We all live forever. Life goes on from here, just in another place.
I had an operation at the age of 5. Now how did I remember that at this age. Well I remember riding in the back seat lying down in the lap of my mother looking up through the back windows of the street lights going along! Now next thing was on a medical trolley going down a hallway prepped for the operation but I was busting to go to the toilet! I tolled the nurse repeatedly that I had to go to the toilet now! But she ignore me but I let go, well it was upsetting or a young boys & the other nurse said to the other nurse well he tolded you so! Next thing was I was walking with this lady who lead me to a bench seat on a curved hallway of which I couldn't see the end in any direction & was tolled to wait there. There was an office down from where I was but was quiet, some people come pass me not speaking & didn't take notice of me! I seemed to be there for a while & thought they had forgotten me but the lady come out of the office & said that I was going back! I said I didn't want to go back because of the pain! She said you have to go back because it wasn't my time! Next I woke up in a sun lit room with about 6 other kids all talking a seem to be ok! Mum came to see me later & put a block of chocolate in my bedside cupboard of which I never got to have any! It wasn't for awhile that I was very luck as the Doctor tolled Mum that I had died on the table a couple of times & had to send people out to get more blood for me! I am now 73 & really don't want to live for ever & now have thought about the people l have known who have passed young & old & ask myself why me that I'm still here & they are not! Don't know where this thought came from but I think we have to keep on coming back until we get it right, what ever right is? Cheers Ray
Right = learning how to love everyone despite our differences and beliefs! When you truly love someone there are no grudges to hold and nothing to forgive. That's how God loves us! God does not have an EGO like us humans! We hate or not forgive because of our ego! Once we learn how to put our ego aside then love can manifest the way God intended!

Yes maybe!! Brilliant story or should I say account..my Father doesn't understand anything I tell him about this kind of thing as is very black and white thinking so instead of saying I have another story for you (or evidence) he replies that that is all it is - just a story so now I use the word account ' I am just full of them. Loved yours
Oh no!!! I don’t want to come back!
I sometimes wonder if this life is a game (or a ride as Bill Hicks would say). Maybe we choose our character like choosing a character in a board game. We enter the game knowing in advance what challenges we would like to experience. What strengths/weaknesses we would like to possess. Then to make the experience more authentic the moment we arrive in the game our memory is wiped clean so we cannot fall back on knowing the true reality of the situation. Moments of deja vu also make me wonder if I was remembering an experience from a past life.
Who would choose to suffer deeply during their life?
@@JM-co6rf good point. Sometimes I wonder if we choose circumstances that will challenge us. But there are people whose situations are so difficult that it's impossible to think they chose it.
Not a game but a school
@@y7l424 yes sometimes I think a lifetime is just a single grade in school. I figure I'm still in primary.
Shout out to Bill Hicks! The only issue I have with that is there could be such a lack of empathy for our avatar. Imagine learning that a Call of Duty in the year 2120 was a conscious entity that could feel "pain" would you still send him over the top?
My mother died when I was 7. My husband died after 26 years of marriage. I learned later that they met and had many long conversations.
Could you please elaborate?
A lot of comments here seem to be forgetting that time/space are aspects of this world. Sure, the thoughts of living forever and never being able to escape are terrifying. But an afterlife would presumably not have a sense of time, hence the possibility of boredom wouldn't be an issue. Personally I'm not sure what would be so bad about dying and staying dead...what I don't know won't trouble me))
That would be the worst possible outcome that I could think of. I used to be terrified of dying because so many people thought we just didn’t exist anymore. I knew though to just believe in our Heavenly Father and all would be well. I was raised in church but got away from it in my life, well it’s time to return. Go back to my roots so to speak. I’ve never really been religious but so many things are about to change. I watched a couple of NDE’s where the individual went to hell and it has quiet literally scared me to death. They say there are as many hell NDE’s as there are Heavenly NDE’s but most people are scared to report them. I guess some people don’t want others to know or may judge them if they did so they keep quiet about those. Yet they are the ones people need to hear the most. It could help so many change their ways. All God wants us to do is live by the 10 commandments and to love and be kind to each other and have compassion for one another. Yet so many find it difficult to do and I’m not absolving myself.
I'm here now and it's awful. I fear I'll be here again.
The likelihood I, or anyone, exists is so low, that something else must be going on. I feel I'm trapped. Somehow my consciousness is like an entangled particle. No matter what happens in the universe, here I am again. And it sucks. I want it to be over.
As a "high sensitive person" you are able to "feel" beyond your bound body-awareness, beyond your physical boundaries, you know things that the other person considers as hidden. I don't know of seeing things like numbers, that's certainly empirical evidence of an outer body experience, but knowing more than you can see, hear or smell is something a high sensitive person don't need to have a "near death experience" for.
Talk about dying I almost died i of boredom listening to this man’s mono tone voice
I saved my life by exiting half way through it !!!!
This guy just raved on for an hour but he has a very pleasant voice and it was just relaxing and very interesting. Great lecturer.
If we get amnesia when we come to earth, if we forget who we are that’s like dying in my mind, when I was in hospital and was being asked if I’d like to come back as a rock star (which I’ve always wanted to be) or something else, anything I wanted, all I wanted was to come back as myself, I was terrified to fall asleep or even close my eyes for fear my mind would be erased and I’d be gone, that was an absolutely terrifying feeling, I hated it. In one visit I had back in 2009 I was wanting to go with my visitors because of the love I felt, a love that is so hard to describe in human words, but this visit was different and I didn’t like most of it at all:(. I’m confused and waiting for them to come back and clarify a little more
Grandfather died for 30 minutes in a hospital in the 1930's... He was very much alive and floating up in the ceiling in total bliss looking down at himself as they were operating. He was very clear there is life after death and that he has never felt better. He did believe in Jesus Christ at this time... So yes there is life after this life is finished.... :)
Addressing the question why doesn't everyone in a near death context report experiencing a near death experience, as John's student asked--of course we can't know the answer definitively, but one possible answer is that maybe they all DID have NDEs, but just don't remember them, in the same way not everyone remembers their dreams, at all, often, or always. It's also possible that many more people have had near death experiences than the 5 to 10 % of people who reportedly did, but that they didn't want to talk about them or report them, for whatever reason (stigma of being thought crazy, etc). So many variables.
At any rate, this is a very interesting and beautifully thought out talk. Thanks for posting!
Barbara Brennan is a person that has a degree in physics with a PhD. Her most important work that I have seen is her book HANDS OF LIGHT. It contains many pictures/diagrams of what we all look like as eternal holograms and eternal electrical energy fields.
I remember seeing dad on the patio with my exs kids. I was unconscious under a 4 wheeler. I'm not sure but I always thought the deceased immediately crossed over unless they do and they live in an alternate plain of reality with in our own plain. It's strange to remember but I do recall it.
I have studied over 200 NDE cases and the below is summation of those experiences:
3 Levels of Reality:
1) Physical World - only real to those living in real world. Illusionary to spiritual dimension & Source.
2) Spiritual/Soul World - also illusionary as souls see themselves operating separately from Source thru multiple reincarnations.
3) Source - only true reality. An energy field we call Source/God in which thoughts manifest illusionary creations in which Source experiences itself.

Brings clarity 😉
Thx for sharing info 👏
Reincarnation? Any thought that brought you to this conclusion?
Carl Hammill yes yes yes !! You’re speaking the real truth. Thank You
a creation can't be illusionary, only when the minds perception is tricked is what determines something to be an illusion
The continuation of Life is REAL...The Light and Love of Jesus is REAL and with us and our loved ones...Always
Amen!!
Amen
I want to live forever and be forever young travelling the universe.
One theory about NDEs are that they are a result of dmt being released during dying. There have been ndes where people born blind see during NDEs. I think a study on DMT on the born-blind would be a good way to test whether DMT produces the same sight effect as an NDE.
If someone was born blind house would they be able to describe things they saw in such detail? They never saw anything in this life…the real question is why are we in such disbelief of a phenomenon that’s been happening forever…and there have been people dead for 15, 20, 60 minutes and had this experience and it profoundly changes their life…also they all share common elements and why? If it’s programmed into our brain then who or what programmed it
When death happens, it doesn't matter if it's a person or an animal. The feeling of loss hurts the same!
Totally agree. I have lost people and pets and for me it’s a proper bereavement.
To be technically correct the eternal unlimited being simply shifts viewpoints, similar to how one can shift viewpoints on Google Maps - zooming in and zooming out. I've had this happen often, including two near death experiences. It is simply a shifting of viewpoints, and can be done at will or spontaneously.
Our souls is Immortal. This body is not. I've seen enough in this planet. I am satisfied, I just wanna come back to where I am belong and enjoying my true freedom.
If you are really interested in Near Death Experiences pass by this video... it’s boring, the guy gave out some grant money and misses big parts of research on this topic. He does not even mention most of the most important studies.
Well there is missing scriptures from the Bible,So it's your duety to search for truth,Not everythin is hundred percent,Merry Christmas..
I agree, when the almighty dollar is involved people have a way of saying anything you want them to.
Thanks.I'm not wasting my time then.
Yup. $5.2 million clearly gets you nowhere when it comes to enlightenment.
Uh the man isn't representing enlightenment, he's representing the NDE studies, and might I make an observation, I sincerely hope you're not talking about one of the many many fake religious NDEs out there designed to make money for the family who made the claim because that's like endorsing snake oil sales because the salesman agrees with your beliefs! Those studies that have 0 religious references are the factual ones, not the other way around!
How can you continue to be secular after studying this subject? I've been an atheist for almost my entire life (two generations from both sides of the family) until I heard NDE's. Materialism has to be totally rethought after accepting that this reality is an illusion and our consciousness does not need the body to survive.
info addict I so agree with you.
To all those who choose to blithely dismiss this researcher whose time spent on this subject surely extends beyond the layman with their impulsive negativity let me gently propose this reminder from "the Bard"..."There are more things, my dear Horatio, than your philosophy ever dreamed of". ( Be it those of John Martin Fischer, or any one or more of us.)
In the end, it will be what will be.
I am so terrified of dying that when my time comes, the sheer terror will kill me rather than death itself.
Try your best, look around, WE are all in this together. There are those of us that feel the way you feel and then there are those that view all of this journey on this earth more positive......Some think they know it all, and many have hope! LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU! (We are ALL just walking each other back HOME!)
@@astraljump Thanks for your supportive words .
I'm not scared of death I think its beautiful
@@CrazyKornJDLover I wish I had your outlook. Peace.
dom///// Being informed does a lot to help alleviate fear. Free download "Life in the World Unseen" will tell you a lot.
Immortality would be boring in this earth, people who had NDEs say that the "next step" is way more different than this world.
consider this... During life we accumulate an extraordinary threshold of pain day by day. If we would experience death just imagine how good that would feel, not to mention the weightlessness!
Until we are reborn 😖
Sir, you need to meditate. It can help you to understand from an experiential place, that your soul is not dependent upon the life of your present body. Your future environments are also not limited to this one planet...this one dimension. What sect of Buddhists were you referring to in that study? I am a Buddhist and my understanding of "selflessness" is much different than what you tried to express. We do NOT believe that the "self" is "annihilated" at the time of the Death transition. I suggest that you study Tibetan Buddhism.
The Catholics you referred to may experience their "fear" AT the time of Death! In my experience, no one has studied Death more than Buddhists (in general, and Tibetan Buddhists in particular), and no one is better prepared for the actual "death experience" than are Buddhists, Hindus, and skilled, experienced meditators.

As a person I stood out the most as a happy playful outgoing child(age 12 and younger). But I did not age well…
I was born with Asperger’s Syndrome and had a troublesome uninspired life with peers, especially when it robbed me of getting the so called “big picture”, causing me to miss out on soccer and karate, two major regrets of my life.
I began having a poor school life since 8th grade after a big round kid took something I said as a joke too seriously and it got another student who was formerly my partner suspended before he could be in the middle school graduation.
I ended up mostly as a loner in high school, especially when I got transferred to a different school away from friends, and my former partner kept me from being with a friend group who offered to be friends with me.
I still have social struggles to this day because of Asperger’s.
I even got tinnitus ear ringing and bruxism which caused gum recessions and worn teeth(especially owed to my dentists neglecting) that now deprives me of my pure smiles I used to have.
I do not mind living a short lifespan as the lifelong curse that is the Asperger’s Syndrome I was born with has brought me regrets and misfortune with multiple cases of missed opportunities that I would never recover from.
I’m afraid that even having kids would mean passing this dangerous syndrome onto anyone else and they’ll turn out like…like me. A happy child tricked by the syndrome into being a dull loner.
I also haven’t been the same since I’ve been moved away from my home since the beginning of 5th grade, I hated how I was moved away from my hometown where more of my family and friends were. I plan to one day live the last times of my life there like I should stayed there and developed instead of experiencing my enemies from the other town I moved to.
I wouldn’t be sure if reincarnation is real, and if it is there greatest challenge to that is starting all over as a different person with no memory of my previous incarnation, but the only hope is not being born with Asperger’s as it is an evil curse that deprived you from fitting in a majority of the time with peers you really want to talk to and interact with properly, among them were two of my cousins from my dad’s side of the family whom I barely interacted with during middle and high school.
Hey buddy, that sounds a bit like my life. I wasn't diagnosed with Asperger's but I was very shy and introverted and sensitive. I've wanted to play music from an early age but my shyness prevented me from doing so. But hey, these things don't really matter. The past and future don't exist. The only thing that exists is the present moment. Stop all the worries and be happy now. Maybe you're not the most sociable person, but that's ok. There are other things you must enjoy. Best wishes and much love
We lived previously as God's spirit children. We had the choice to receive a mortal body and come to live on this earth, with all the trials. You will someday leave your body to the earth, your spirit was perfect to begin with and what joy it will be to be freed of it. We are here to learn to become like our Father in Heaven by following Jesus, his son's example. He will wiped away all tears. We chose to come here, even if those bodies weren't perfect. Everyone born on the earth will someday have a resurrected perfect body. Can you imagine the joy. There are endless things to learn and enjoy in the eternities. We will never get bored. No one seems to want to come back, unless they want another chance to better their lives or they are told they have to complete their mission on earth. 100 years of trial here is nothing to compare to the glories of eternity. Someday we will have the answers of "why" certain things happened.
Youre in the wrong place. This has nothing to do with autism. It's about death.. There are a ton of autism forums.
I had a out of body experience at age 11. I can guarantee if you haven't sold your soul that you do indeed have one. Sadly a lot of people have lost theirs. Hold onto yours and live by the motto do unto others as you'd have done unto to you!💕
Please may I ask, what happened during your experience, what did you see etc. Many thanks
@@mrsq117 It was only a couple minutes but .a male nurse ran from the side of the nursing station and caught me before I hit the ground. He was checking my pulse and started yelling there's no pulse. I was looking down on him and was yelling at him to put me down. I could here the intercom calling code blue and saw two teenage girls staring at me that just entered the room. I saw a man rush in with a stretcher and the nurse holding me up drug me towards him. They got me on and was rushing me through the doors. As soon as the doors opened I felt my soul reenter my body. They were rushing me down a brightly colored hall and after I recovered I saw the nurse who held me up and asked him why he didn't lay me down when I asked him to. He looked at me puzzled and said you had no pulse you weren't saying anything. Then I saw the two teenage girls that were staring at me while it was happening and told them sorry for scaring them. They looked away from at each other in disbelief and one looked back at me and muttered how did you see us your eyes were completely rolled back into your head only the whites were showing.
@@dawndurant8554 wow that is amazing, thank you for sharing this with me. My favourite NDEs are the out of body experiences, like yours, where you see from above and then come back and confirmed what you saw with the medical staff etc
- Almost every NDE tells that there is no time "there". A "no-time zone" solve also the problem of "eternity backward" that is a serious logic problem. So no "boring" eternity.
- Once i asked an "expert" if living for eternity would have been terribly boring. He said "think about one of those days, as a kid, in which you were so happy that you wished would never end. Thats it"
- The alternative of living forever is being dead forever ... the choice is simple here.
- The excuse "we will not suffer anymore" just does not work , being nothing forever is much much worse.
If there is no awareness there is no "worse"
@@withgoddess8029 Is a "not be able to do anything else for eternity" from "being able to enjoy living".
I’m only 40 and I’m already ready to go...
I liked his idea of immortality until you decide you’re ready to leave this existence. Given the choice, I would remain 30 years of age until I was done accomplishing everything I wanted to accomplish with the added benefit of the knowledge I didn’t have previously. Then I would allow myself to age normally or maybe just call it a day or life well lived as it were.
So given the choice to leave via suicide, you'd leave after the 30 years of accomplishments, right?
Yes EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!
I think immortality is not doing everything and then getting bored but being always able to do things again : fall in love again, eating a pizza again, cuddling a pet again, walking by the sea again....
I read somewhere that we are exactly that in the other place ! Around 30! Healthy with it
The questioned posed...why women would not choose to live forever. While I love my husband which involves cleaning our home, doing the laundry, deciding what to make for 3 meals every day....no I don't want to do it forever!
Penny Nolan They God your not married to a bodybuilder. We eat 6-8 times a day.😂
@@phoenixrisin2269 - but you can't do it yourself... you can lift weights, but not your share around the house... very odd...
Randy benton - it says I have a reply from you, but I can't see it... : )
🤭😅 everything is well, I am an NDE and the other realm is real. You're dreaming now, so everything is well

If I were supporting a woman I'd expect meals. I prefer not to have all my wealth drained away though so I stayed single. Retired at 54.
There are people suffering from horrific illnesses like cfs me who can't get funding but simething like this can.
Dana Shannon Medical research should be funded by the government. I have fibromyalgia/CFS and it’s difficult. There is no guarantee in life that we will understand diseases and be cured. I had hepatitis c and a cure was developed but I feel worse after being cured. I also have a history of spontaneous lung collapse. My life is spent coping with the pain.
Perhaps this research will help more people understand their spiritual identity, then we'd quit spending trillions on war and other destruction. Then we'd have more than enough funding to address human suffering. I'm hoping.
I don't want to live eternally on THIS earth. I want to go where Jesus has prepared a place for me.
Then simply look within, that is where Jesus resides.
jesus isnt god , he was human like us..
Even Jesus talked about reincarnation and it is recorded in the new testament. In one instance, Jesus was talking about Elijah, and the Apostles said, "but wasn't Elijah supposed to return?" To which Jesus said, "but Elijah has returned but the people did not recognize him!" And the Apostles took this to mean that Elijah was John the Baptist! Other things Jesus said can only be understood from the concept of reincarnation. The beatitudes a case in point. Jesus said, "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!" As a Christian, I could never understand that statement, but after being in four separate religions, I understood it perfectly!
univ of ca dont believe in any christian religion
Between lives you go "home" to where Jesus is. He'll show you that your struggles helped you grow, and everything happens for a reason. 🌎
You have to try Earth a few times. When you get it right, you get to go to another planet and have another life. 🌇
Live in a state of unconditional love. Jesus came to serve, not be served. Follow his example. He is the way ✝️
You'll find Heaven here on Earth when you fully have Jesus in your heart. 💚
I listened to half of this, hoping to get a comprehensive compendium of near-death experiences and what we have gathered from them - the big picture. Instead I got a lot of one guy philosophizing and opinionating. I want my half-hour back!
MEDITATE
I agree with M M
Yes, he never says anybody in the cardiac unit said what the number was on the computer , in that study, as I posted.
I WONT BE CLICKING ON HIS VIDEOS EVER
The big picture is there's more than this physical existence. Be good and go to a good place, be bad and you'll wish you had spent your time trying to be good.
It is not possible or natural to live in a physical flesh and blood body any longer than the medicine or regiment available to it has to offer lets it. Death is the beginning of life. Transcendence from physical to metaphysical is nothing we are capable of understanding in a physical body. No one should fear death or to pass from this life to the other side. I study NDEs and the people almost always have the same message of complete peace with others, a connection to everything at a constant with nothing at all to be uncomfortable with. Pure love and bliss. It seems as returning to the body is sometimes a choice, something they have not completed or an unfortunate accident and it is simply not their time. Some cases involve only being out of and seeing your body and temporarily need to leave it for a short time. Some messages involve while the mortal individual is upon earth that every action one person takes/does has an everlasting effect on the rest of the world like a ripple. This message is powerful...
I have actually net with a person who had an NDE. She was the grandmother of one of my children's friends. Unfortunately, it wasn't a positive NDE - it was horrific for her, so much so she only stated that the afterlife was horrible and refused to talk about it and she plummeted into depression.
My apologies, I did not get this notification. I did not comment on a bad place NDE as my comment was not intended for that. I have studied the NDEs of an extremely grim place. We can only take what experience each has to tell us. I have come across many. Personally, I must believe omnipotence is responsible for the creation, guidance, fate of each spirit/soul and at the mercy of it. That being said I can only find perfection behind everything. I see that a bad place encounter in the metaphysical is like a wake up call. There are stories of this place is where one is going if they do not change their ways. Sometimes one is just in a dark void of nothingness and aware of it with a sense of dread and that this is what timeless eternity is they're fate with no hope at all, they feel it. I question what the person you speak of could tell us and a shame to hide it. Most people have something unfinished, something to do, a message of some kind or a choice as I said. Usually a person that was before a terrible person becomes a "kitten" with a fearless desire let the world know. Cheers, Doug...
SO WHEN we sleep or meditate, are we technically dying? Because each night I sleep or each time I meditate I am 'shot out' of my body and taken to these realms which are familiar to me. Very interesting. I also woke up to this video playing because I must have fell asleep. Its weird because earlier that day I received a phone call by someone with the name John Fischer, then I wake up to this! what are the odds there? Nothing is a coincidence!
I've never had a NDE, but I have had an OOBE or out of body experience. The nice thing about an OOBE is that when you have this event you realize that you are not your body, and that you can think independently of what science calls a "brain!" Our human bodies are mere "containers!"
I’m very intrigued about this comment. How do you know about this??
The short answer to the question, "Who wants to live forever?" is "Not me"
two comments. The shorter human lifespan in earlier history has a great deal to do with high child and infant mortalities being counted in the average. Many adults did indeed live to reasonably advanced age, if they survived childhood. Second comment: I considered the tedium of eternity as a child and determined that since time is relative, If we continue in a non physical world than perhaps an instant would be no different than eternity and we would have no concept of measured time.
yes thats historically right
His commentary keeps reminding me of Dante. Maybe Dante just had an NDE and was able (fortunately for us all) to remember it in Great Detail. If any of you interestedin this topic haven’t read Dante’s great 3-part work, put it on your list. It’s an Irreplaceable Work, written around 750 years ago in Italy.
When you said men liked the idea of immortality better than woman, I just immediately thought that is because men probably have a feeling of greater safety in the world than women. Because it is normal, I think many women do not realize all the steps they take to ensure their safety in the world (being watchful of men around her, locking doors, not going out at night to certain places perhaps, etc...) whereas men generally may think less of that. So living in the world for a long time may seem more positive to a man due to feeling more safe.
And usually women have a greater share of the unpaid, unrecognised workload.
We shouldn't make a difference when we are talking about this topic, immortality is not the goal, it's about the people you love and miss, imagine if only men are able to get immortality because women refuse to accept it, a world without women would be hell, so if women reject it then there is no need for me or other men to get immortality either.
actually people who experience this say- it was real, more real than this life. I have never heard one say it was dream,or like a dream. not yet anyway.
Life is either boring or suffering
I had several out of body experiences and i like it a million times better than being in the body. Life on earth it's too hard, lots of pain and suffering. We have to go through a lot here!
what did you see
Oh yeah, and as far asThe experience being “behind”, the positive ones say that they felt the most indescribable love you beyond anything they ever had felt before. So far beyond that that it was indescribable. And they also felt as though they were coming home. Senses heightened the experience more real again than any earthly experience.
have u had a NDE
It is my firm opinion, based on having had at this point in my life as an adult, thousands of Out of Body Experiences/OBES (Astral Projections) starting as a small boy (Then I thought they were horrid "Nightmares!" lol:) By the way, a human being is capable of having as many OBES as they so desire, unlike NDES. Also, even Animals have them.........Which brings me to my point in reference to this man speaking in the video......He seemingly does not know exactly what an OBE is and he needs to realize a major fact about himself and his presentation.....HE IS PHILOSOPHIZING!
Well if it's real and he hasn't experienced it, he's just using the tools he currently has to understand it. I for one think its beautiful to see him try to figure it out, the struggle for knowledge and the great mysteries are what makes this life feel meaningful, no?
Very interesting. Would love to know more.
I’ve had an OBE and it was profound . I can’t imagine having thousands of them, maybe that’s just me but I’m wondering , in the absence of any real understanding or knowledge on my part on what ‘astral projections’ are supposed to be , whether or not you may be confusing OBE’s with some less specific dream states?
I would really like to speak with someone about the NDE I had when I was ten. Thanks.
Tell me about it, please. I'd love to know.
There are no lack of people, places and forums to do that. He even mentions them.
The negative near-death experiences we hear about could certainly make us fear death.
For sure !
I believe That God wants to save all of humanity, even the worst ones, God has created the devil never forget that , maybe the worst kind of people imaginable have to go through the long and painful way but it's highly possible that God will give them a second chance on day X.
Mine is what I would call
Going beyond near death
When a being comes here
Because one was giving up
Too hard being a single parent - in 2005 - no help in site Exhausted constant work to hold up the roof no weekends no vacations -
Looked up and said now is a good time to help because I’m done --
What followed was insane -
About a week later .......
There is not only another side and or Denison But it’s active , busy and totally involved wirh us -
It’s insane - and all the tools designed to help us stay in touch while here - are jumbled up
It’s a straight shot -
When you see how the being contacted - no hazy veil - absolutely direct - and. Supernatural for all around me to experience and see
All around me were
Mesmerized and apart of the cataclysmic events - like the parting of the Red Sea - just so I could walk through -
It was simply Miraculous and enlightening changing how it’s all viewed
I always knew something was watching - some are watched more then others for some reason - perhaps diffeeent plans or something - but I was always watched -
For the watched feeling to have a name and to be able to speak was stunning - crashed through barriers unable to break without the experience -
I think the hard part is staying here, it took weeks for my heart to recover and that was painful. I choose to stay for now, I want to stay a little longer for my children.
Dear Dr.John Martin Fischer,
if a human being could live an infinite life, would he fight for his will as much as he does by knowing that he might have a limited time? I believe that he won't. Also, if reincarnation is real and each life is a field where to learn, then isn't it like having an endless life? In a way we could already be immortal withouth knowing it. Death is perhaps only a transformation.
What is it all about though? Let’s just say that life after death is real and we continue. Why is it there? For what purpose? How old is it? Was it there before the creation of the universe? What about the spirits of other life in the universe? Extraterrestrial life, What about animals and even the dinosaurs?
