- ABOUT LOUISA
Lousia Peck had her near-death experience in November of 1982. A rabid atheist, she was on a path of self-destruction that traced back to her alcoholic family. Drinking and infatuation were the two “twin highs” that dominated her broken life - until a near-death experience, and Alcoholics Anonymous, helped turn everything around.

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.

I have nothing but admiration for Louisa, this isn’t the first time I’ve watched her testimony. Her brutal honesty about who she was and the life she used to lead is just so refreshing, and undoubtedly has fashioned her into the diamond she is today, God bless you Louisa 💛
Dear Bela, Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and comment. So very TRUE! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
I love this because she found the comfort, love, joy and acceptance that she'd never had during her NDE.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comment. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
I saw this one on P. H. Atwater’s short documentary. I especially love the description of coming back to the body, then trying to communicate with her friend after experiencing the oneness. Being in form vs our true being. My Aunt talked about her NDE back in the late seventies , She said there are no words to describe the joy and beauty . This description here was fascinating especially when she is coming back into “form”. Oh, he thinks we’re separate. Great stuff. 😎
Dear LLM, Yes, so many NDE'er have experienced the Oneness and there are really no words that can describe it accurately. It is beyond words. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comment. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
How did it change you afterwards?😊
Fascinating. Thank you. She's very articulate.
Thank you Julie for your comment and encouraging words! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
I admire her absolute honesty about who she was and the path she was on. There is a meaningful message here for all of us.
Dear Carol, thank you for sharing your thoughts and comment. Yes, true there is a message here for all of us. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Most insecurities follow the “how you judge you will be judged” rule. People who judge others think they are being judged and they never feel adequate. Be merciful and forgiving and you will realize no one is judging you either.
So true.
It's tough to see so many comments from fundamentalists on NDE videos - ones that are highly critical, even damning.
I can lose patience and have to remember exactly what you wrote. Thank you. After two NDEs, I know God loves us all equally, eternally, immensely and without exception. No idea why that irks people, but what a great thing to experience.
Here's to Oneness here on Earth that we're even more ready for the beautiful afterlife.
Paz y luz, everyone. And I mean everyone. 😊❤️
@@mortalclown3812 would love to hear about your experience
@@mortalclown3812 I agree he loves us all equally. I think people get angry about the judgment thing because there are pedophiles and human traffickers and all sorts of horrible people on this earth--to say no one gets judged and everyone just automatically goes to heaven no matter how evil you can be is a lie and is unjust. And we know God is not unjust.
To believe everyone all goes to heaven you have to explain away why there are alot of people that also have Hell NDEs.
@@emilyvanhaausen3728 yeah, I've seen only a couple of the negative NDE's, and in both cases they stated they realized that they had been living a very selfish, self-centered life, and they changed afterwards.
Really made me think, wow, these 2 were given the opportunity to change; what about all the others...?
Her descriptions are fantastic, so clear, I want to hear the whole story :)
This is so unstudied, so real in the retelling that I find it so credible! It’s like a child who tells you their truth…there is no guile. Thank you Louisa for your share!
Louisa, thank you for sharing your fascinating NDE with us. I trust it has impacted your life in a positive way! ❤
Thank you Lee for sharing your comment. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Love your story! So happy for you!
This was awesome. What I love about these NDEs is they are all so similar, but seen from such different perspectives. I loved your take on your experience and thank you for sharing!
Dear Ann, thank you for sharing your thoughts and comment. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
It takes infinitely more faith to believe that life is a freak accident caused by some cosmic bang than a creation from a divine source. I’m always stunned at the hubris of some scientists who, because they can figure out how something works or why it happens dismiss the work of God.
So powerful! Seriously amazing! I agree. She is like a child so open and honest and clear! I felt like I experienced it! What a gift. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your kind comments!! So happy you felt so connected to Louisa's story. Sending so much love - Loreli@IANDS
Thank you so much for having the courage to share your life-altering experience. God bless!
So happy you resonated with Luisa's experience. Thank you for your kind words and blessings. Sending so much love - Loreli@IANDS
Thank you Louise; I enjoyed hearing about your NDE. Best wishes.
So glad you enjoyed Louisa's presentation!! Sending love - Loreli@IANDS
This is extremely fascinating and wonderful to listen to. Thank you 🙏👍
Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and your comment. We are so happy this video was inspirational for you. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Fascinating NDE and personal story. Glad you are well and thriving, Luisa. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We are glad this video was inspiring for you. Thank you for sharing your comment and thoughts. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
You, Louisa Peck are a GREAT story teller (speaker) ! Thank you for sharing your personal experience.
Dear Bev, Thank you for your comment and wonderful words of encouragement. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Hi Louisa! My last name is Peck as well. My family is from the Sandyhook Newtown area of CT. We also have a strong history of alcoholism/addiction. We just lost my younger and only brother a few days ago on Monday 6-12-23. I’ve been watching a slew of these NDE videos. They have helped me a lot the past few days and I just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience. Oh… and congrats on that swan dive! Sounds like you nailed it no doubt!!!
Dear Ken, thank you for sharing your thoughts and your comment. We are very sorry to hear of the recent transition of your younger brother. Our condolences to you and your family. Since you are familiar with our NDE videos, hoping you know your brother is still with you in spirit always. Much Love & Appreciation 🌹🙏💖
So very sorry for your loss, Ken. I hope your younger bro is at peace now. Addiction is so destructive.
Hi Ken -
Sorry I'm so late seeing this, though I know in the timeline of adjusting to a loss, it's still so fresh. I'm so sorry to hear about your younger brother. As you know, he has moved on. It's great for him but super painful for those who miss him! As you are seeing in the TH-cams, his spirit continues. I lost my ex-boyfriend in July, whom I had to leave 8 years ago when he relapsed alcoholically. He died from it - sudden gastric hemorrhage - on his 60th birthday, alone. He came to me about 3 weeks later using songs on my playlist to communicate -- which is a weird but real thing. The first song, "I Will Survive," came on as I was running, and I thought, right, this is the song I used to get over someone (else) long ago, but then my boyfriend BURST into my consciousness saying, "NO! It's ME!!! I survived death!! I'm still here!!" It was so much him, I just can't describe that certain energy each person has. Anyway, he conveyed to me his shock when he saw his body bleeding out. I urged him to go to the light. He used 2 more songs: Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time," and Blondie's "Dreaming" -- with the last, he asked if he could come to me in my dreams. I was bawling as I ran and said, of course, sweetheart! So for 2 weeks, I dreamed about him every night and learned feelings he'd had during the relationship, not all good but lots of love. We said goodbye in a dream, as we never got to here. . By contrast, my mom died in August at 97 after she stopped eating intentionally, and she was just OUTTA here. I got only one tiny message from her: Bliss, and "I should have done this a long time ago!" She was too excited to hang out and communicate any more.
I hope some of this helps you. Remember, grief is the flipside of love. We never get one without the other -- unless we go first. ❤
Thank you for your wonderful NDE Louisa, it sounded so good to be able to fly and zoom out of a window etc! I realised too that in Britain, we say "Seesaw" for your "Teeter Totter" although I prefer your version!
Dear Crystal, Thank you for sharing your comment. We are happy that this video was inspiring for you. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
I really really enjoyed that, You remind me of someone I new when I was young. Thanks again
Dear Larry, we are so happy this video was uplifting and inspirational for you. Thank you for sharing your comment. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Wow, that was one of the most vivid NDE adventures I've ever heard.

Wonderful NDE. I loved the part about the sun 🌞 and the parent cradling this lady! I'm hoping she was able to get her life in order and leave the party scene. She knows how precious she is to God now, maybe she will realize her life mission. THANKYOU ✨
Dear Sheri, everything we experience is for our souls' highest good. By her sharing her NDE with others is a part of her mission here. Thanks for sharing! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤Making sense of things I would say is what veils things the most. We are taught out the gate what “sense” is. Soon, very soon I think, sense will be something we feel instead of think. Sending allllll the Love to allllll of us in this time construct❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for making me laugh! What an amazing experience you had.
Wow, I love the descriptions of what happened to you in that other dimension...
Glad you enjoyed Louisa's experience!! Thank you for commenting. Sending lots of love - Loreli@IANDS
Wow. You are very likeable, and a good storyteller. Thanks.
Most of my aetheist friends are near the angry foaming at the mouth type and usually very self admiring and think they are somehow intellectually superior to people who have a different religiin than theirs. I try not to be that way. I believe in respect
Dear Olaf, That is wonderful you believe in respecting everyone. We would live in a world of Peace if everyone felt that way. I am very spiritual, however, I myself do not claim to be any one religion, however, I have the utmost respect for ALL religions. Because everyone should follow what they believe in their heart and soul. I call this Unity Within Diversity. Having Love & Respect for others that have different beliefs and different outlooks on life. Thank you for sharing! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Yeah, you sure sound like you are respectful (perhaps to their face at least ;)) It sounds sort of made up though, as I know many atheists and none of them behave in any way like that. Personally I'm an agnostic - I don't think any religions got much right, but I do think there is something after death, that tends to manifest in the way you are most comfortable.
I love when people say they’re atheist because it’s the same story with all of them that either have near death experiences or on their death bed, they always try to turn to god in the last moments but live their lives like that moment will never come.
@@2BaSedP0l0Swagq atheists RARELY become Christian. If they do start thinking about these things or experience something, they overwhelmingly become Agnostics. There's no reason to believe in a specific religion.
I call atheists “TAs”…. Which means Temporary Atheists”… all atheists will know the truth eventually.
oh Wow. I love this. thank you!
Dear Catomoose, Thank you so much for sharing your comment. We are so glad this video was uplifting and inspirational for you. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Very interesting NDE story. Thank you for sharing
Phenomenal!
This is a comment only on the title and and tenor of this. I believe - and it would appear that - religion has nothing to do with NDEs. An Atheist is not going to be excluded from having a near death experience - not even a "rabid atheist". I think these experiences are consummately personal and if someone has a religious epiphany during a NDE, that's wonderful. Every person should wholly own what they come away with during this extraordinary experience. I just hope that we - the collective we - don't start equating NDEs or other altered states of consciousness as exclusive to those subscribing to some manner of organized religion.
Why do they all see the light …if it’s just a wild imagination why are there similarities in their experiences? Even the atheists say they came across an authority figure .
@@red-eye-traveller9218 Some say they meet an authority figure, some say a Being of Love, some say Jesus or Moses, some a family member, some an orb of light. Some have a sense if revelation that there is no authority figure, no hierarchy, but instead feel a oneness, a lack of judgment, a sense of being worthy in a perfect universe.
What people experience seems to be informed by and filtered through their previous beliefs. Some Christians return saying they were taught that their religion is mistaken. Some atheists return saying they met Jesus or Mary. My brother, a fundamentalist Christian says that everyone sees Jesus during NDEs. If reminded that some people instead see an orb of light, a family member, an angel, or no one in particular, he says "That's right! That's Jesus! They just don't know it yet." Umm...okay. I'm pretty sure his assumptions are based more on what he wants to be true than on people's actual interpretations of their own NDEs.
@@red-eye-traveller9218 NDEs are *not* just wild imagination. I don't think you read or correctly understood my comment.
"Skeptics" equate "NDEs or other altered states of consciousness as exclusive to those subscribing to some manner of (...) religion". They say they are a projection or construction of that belief. Your background would enterily determine your experience. So, that would contradict a "hardcore atheist" having an NDE with spiritual content. Hence the title.
@@elizabethgillespie5284 So are you saying NDEs are just wild imagination? I’m trying to understand your position
That ended abruptly. So what happened? 😊
DIVINE GRATITUDE
Well told.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a place where I would feel comfortable taking mass quantities of an unknown drug, my god
Coke and crack addiction will make people go over the edge!
How virtuous of you
Pharma is the biggest drug dealer......
That's what you got from this??? My God. Thall shall not judge. She's so brave to share this how about ty ...🙏🏻
@@Kelly-gh6hy There was no judgment implied, I simply do not understand
Ok, that was so wildly entertaining that I had to watch it again. I know, I'm such a dork. LOL
Dear Charles, you are just perfect exactly the way you are. LOL! 😊 We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying this video so much. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
This is wildly bizarre.
Hi , I don't really understand your experience in what you conveyed, but as a Christian I know that the Lord approaches those that are approachable, you said you had and have a good heart, that's always a plus with him, I know this as human beings brought into this world, we are all accountable for our actions and choices, and our greatest purpose in life is to know Christ and make him known! We all as believers in him have a mighty Angel and the Holy Spirit is our guild ,teacher, conviction, idk what you truly believe, but I can tell you that you will have tremendous joy and peace being in compliance with the Lord! Hope you are!❤
Religious people need to know the TRUTH of these NDE's as well as Atheists do. They think they know the way and truth. Christians and Atheists are so much alike. They are both so closed minded at what they think they know as truth. I'm an Ex-Christian because of these NDE's and my own experiences. I made the correct choice.
@@JustReedJust FYI, I am a Christian, and to me Jesus Christ is LITERALLY The Truth incarnate. It's impossible to understand how, but that's what I believe (because He appeared to me and I knew this fact without being told). So Christ loves all those who love The Truth.
@@trollsneedhugs
I'm sure you're right.
The first time Im actually publicly talking about my experience and I believe this video explains much better than I could what such an experience feels like: I got an NDE a bit more than 3 years ago (Not a very spectacular one, but definitely made a change in my life) I was an athiest, but have since my experience been more spiritual. I still don't believe in a typical God most people believe but more the way that this person explains it is. Just before surgery for Ulcerative Colitis I developed Toxic Megacolon which was getting so swollen they had to take it out. After this surgery I developed an internal hernia when my remaining small intestine decided to turn on itself and caused a complete blockage, I could literally not breath anymore after some days (I don't remember it well anymore because of the excruciating pain and able to breath less and less) as my abdomen was so inflated all my other organs were being pushed away, and I went out completely just before I was rolled in to the surgery for the 2nd time as it was slowly becoming an emergency. Everything went black and then I came into a black tunnel with a white and extremely peaceful light at the end, it was so peaceful I loved it. At that same moment (in my mind this happened at the exact same time as the tunnel) I had an out of body experience, I saw myself being wheeled into the surgery room while doctors where trying pushing on my abdomen, but at the same time I knew my eyes didn't work anymore and I was still in the tunnel at the same time... real strange. When I focussed on the tunnel the pain was gone so I did that but I could still hear things that were said by all the doctors. I was at peace at that time but still sad to leave my family with this ordeal. While thinking about that my family would be said and would leave my wife with all the undone things in my lif3 I felt I was pushed back into my body as if a force come over my chest and woke up just before surgery started on the table and I remember they connected me and told me I will now get urgent surgery. After 11 hours of surgery I woke up and my life changed completely. I have struggled with this a lot, even got depressed a lot and God what more but all in all I kept thinking more and more about that moment and made me realize that indeed this life is just a play. This experience the man had was much more spectacular as what I experienced maybe happened in a minute or something. It was very quick indeed. I also did not obtain much knowledge there, just intense peace and knowing that it is good and that there is indeed no need to worry about dying. Because it will be absolute miraculous.
Dear August, thank you for sharing your NDE experience with us, we appreciate it very much! You are correct, there is only eternal life, there is not such thing as death and nothing anyone every has to worry about. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Yes but i know people been threw this and was in hell and know some people was in Heaven
Angels are also often mentioned in Scripture, though the Bible does not associate them with near-death experiences. The word angel in Greek means "messenger," which indicates an angel's role in many biblical passages. For example, Gabriel visited Mary with a message of the birth of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
Dear Groznytoe, thank you for sharing your thoughts and beliefs. We welcome people of all religions to share their NDE experience. IANDS is open to all religions and spiritual beliefs. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Well, God knows your true heart!
Often when i don’t like people I later find out they are atheist. Glad she found a different way.
Or really miserable people often turn out to be atheists! 😂
The last part, when you're all grown up, is when you look for fulfillment in loving yourself.
Dear Jthepickle, this is True! However, it is not grown up in age, it is grown up in spiritual maturity. When a person is spiritually mature all they want to do is Love self and others. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
ive watched 100s of these videos, how can any of them make this stuff up? there has to be something!
Dear NightOwl, thank you for sharing your thoughts and comment. Yes, there is so much to life than meets the eyes, and this has also been proven scientifically. It has been proven that humans can only detect 0.035% with their 5 senses. Meaning 99.97% of what actually exists cannot be detected with human senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste or smell. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
you are a fucking rock star. your whole life. no shame... you are amazing.
Brilliant. I loved it. We can go right into the sun? Lovely. :) I just saw your comment about having a channel. I'll find it and follow :)
Luke 6:45
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
I like this channel and the NDI stories. Because on a lot of the other channels about NDI. They keep on and on about sooo much other stuff before they actually get to the NDI.🤔😏
So happy to hear you're enjoying the IANDS TH-cam channel!! Thank you for your kind words. Much love!!
Hi, I enjoyed listening to the story. But since it did end abruptly, did Louisa become a believer? I sure hope so. If that doesn’t make her one, I don’t know what does. Thank you for the story.
Dear Pal, please see if you can find her website and ask her that question directly. Thanks! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
i was here
It sounds like she may have gone into a K-hole. That may have been ketamine she ingested. Her experience is almost perfectly consistent with someone who has gone into k-hole. The chalkboard figures could have been the people around her trying to revive her, which would make sense that they were asking her how many fingers they were holding up and what her name was. If she saw them as chalkboard figures who were spouting nonsensical sayings, that would suggest that she was indeed high, again hinting at a k-hole from ketamine.
Have you ever been in a k-hole where you travel around the world, like in this story?
That was pretty awesome. But I would really like to her about Louisa's spirituality AFTER the NDE, compared to her staunch atheism prior to...
Dear Charles, That is a good question. In case Louisa does not see your question here, maybe try reaching her at her website. Thanks you! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
@@IANDSvideos thanks, went there and also subscribed.
🙏💜🙏
My heart is strong but my rate is naturally 40-45bpm. This is why I say I would never last as a drug addict. Not even one time. It's nuts how people can go years and years doing it. My ex was a meth/heroin addict and I had to leave her but she still does it. Mind boggling.
Dear CommonDog, everyone's life path is uniquely different. We cannot compare our own life path's with anyone else's life path. Each soul has a reason and purpose for coming here and their path is uniquely their own. When we truly understand this we have no judgment for others, only Love & Compassion. Thanks for sharing! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
@@IANDSvideos Oh, I don't judge her and have only tried to support from the beginning but I just mean it is nuts how much punishment to the body one human being can withstand because drugs have ruined so many but killed so many more. The ones whos lives are presumed ruined but not dead are really fascinating.
Dear CommonDog, I do understand you, and I am very glad you are not judging her. When we look at life from the spiritual perspective and know that there is no death. That we each chose our life experience according to why we came here. There may be lessons we chose and life challenges we chose for our soul's evolution. We never know what lessons that soul is working on. Thanks for sharing! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
My fave NDE stories are the startled overly-religious / self-righteous... and atheists.
Because
...well, same.
We are all looking at a thumb on a hand and calling the thumb "hand," such is our description of "God."
Beyond hand, beyond body... and not exclusive to the human... such is thumb... tiny, specific, grand, necessary, and magical... but thumb is but a beginning.
So I don’t understand, what does she mean when she said “he thinks we’re separate” how does that work? Are well one somehow? I’m very confused.
Many people feel a sense of oneness with everybody and the whole of the cosmos when they have an NDE….or indeed any mystical experience often involves a sense of oneness with the Divine….and or Everything that is. I’m guessing from her experience of being cradled in the Sun ,where she was engulfed within love and bliss that she felt this sense of interconnection…she probably felt part of the One…which is very probably the ultimate destination for all of us. This account is however frustratingly incomplete…why do we not hear if her life and spiritual views changed after her NDE…which is the case with most experiencers.
@@andreasteverson8860 I see, but what does this “oneness” mean? Does that mean we’re all one? So does that mean that we as individuals don’t exist?
@@jz_mzf One NDEer I interviewed put it this way: "We're all lumps in the cake mix that is God."
For myself, in the NDE described above, I had already become accustomed to telepathic connection, so sending sound messages (talking) felt primitive and silly.
@@jz_mzf I think it means that even though we are individuals, we are also all connected, also with plants and animals; all living things are interconnected on an energy level.
It is common sense to feel confused when we hear "we're not separate". Our usual experience is, as we know, to feel separate. And the more agitated our thoughts and emotions are, the more separated we feel. Even absolutely isolated, which ends up being pathological.
But, as we know, there are also occasional moments of certain mental quietness when one feels connected to, and affected by, what one has arround. Some people would say that the first state of mind is an alienated one, and this second an state more in keeping with our deepest nature. Is it because, deep down, our mind, our being, our consciousness conforms a unity with all which is? Most NDErs, and all the mystics that have ever existed around the world, would answer: yes. But most of us don't know for sure. So, if that statement resonates within us, we ask to ourselves: Is that true? And we may begin a journey into the nature of our minds as human beings. Thinking for ourselves, but not in isolation. Listening, talking, questioning, watching...

What precludes an Atheist from believing in an afterlife?
Dear Steven, every atheists is uniquely different, they are not all the same. Just like every Christian is uniquely different. Every person is uniquely different and that is exactly how it is meant to be. Therefore, I am sure many atheists may at some point start to believe in the afterlife. There is so much overwhelming evidence that we are souls having a temporary human experience. So much evidence that life is eternal. Also, I see that some people get being an atheist mixed up with being agnostic. An agnostic person believes that it is possible for an afterlife, they just are unsure. Thank you for your question. I hope this helps to answer it. Much Love & Appreciation, Caroline🌹🙏💖
Kinda like pulp fiction but more intense
Louisa I believe God gave you that opportunity to TEACH YOU that there is a God in heaven who truly LOVES YOU, that you are his daughter (you called him parent which is absolutely correct) he is our HEAVENLY FATHER the literal creator of our Spirit, and you are here on earth for a purpose. We all die and will see and can live with God again IF we “FOLLOW HIM” keep His commandments and try our very best to become like him.
I loved what you shared about our ancestors…. Those family members who have gone on before us are praying for us, and they DO CARE about us and our lives on earth. I also believe they are our Heavenly Angels and are there for us when we need them.❤️
Thank you so much for sharing.👍👏🙏❤️🥰
I struggle to relate to the 22 year old version of this person. As a former 22 year old, fellow, imperfect, human female, I am struck by the degree of vanity, arrogance, and self absorption. I’m very happy for her, to have come out of it, and sharing this message. But I don’t understand how she got to this place, so young, having the gifts, and blessings she received. Something causes this lack of empathy, and consideration, in a 22 year old. It isn’t typical.
Dear Fowchiii, I do understand when we here about another person's journey, how we can feel we could never have done that. However, we have to remember each soul is on a unique journey for that soul's evolution. Even though we feel like that is something we could never do, we want to always be understanding and non-judgmental when we look at it through the spiritual perspective. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
SPIRITUAL WISDOM is understanding GOD'S WORD with absolute clarity 🙏..SPIRITUAL WISDOM only comes from the HOLY SPIRIT..Never mankind..
We must put to death the deeds of the flesh to gain SPIRITUAL WISDOM..Fasting is a great way to start

Spirituality is not about any religion, it is a connection with our creator and each other.
Narcotics Detective: “So Miss Louisa, you’re telling me that one minute you are snorting a handful of coke, died, and the next you are counting how many hippos it takes to count a flim flam?”
Mr Detective, I DECIDED to think the same so I could keep up my lifestyle: "What a crazy drug trip!" It was the dozens of paranormal experiences that besieged me afterwards that convinced me it had been real.
Interesting Miss Louisa, interesting. We’ve had an uptick of lidocaine smuggling since your story came out. The irony of your dealer snickering as he thought he scammed you, turns out it was the greatest trip ever!!😅 in all seriousness, I am so thankful for people like you sharing your NDE stories, it has given me so much hope and life is exciting again. I found your story as I’m looking for NDEs with a hellish experience, but while you didn’t have one, it makes sense the algorithm is pointing me to Atheists as well. I was largely an atheist for my first 40 years of life and I am filling with faith by the day as I’ve consumed hundreds of hours of testimonies such as yours. Why do you suppose some folks have hellish experiences (even those of faith)? Do you think our consciousness creates hell in this next realm? Thank you for your insight!❤❤❤
I've seen this all before...her...same story.
she reminds me of Tina Fey lol
Who do you think answered?
Dear Aniri, she may not see your question here on IANDS TH-cam channel. Please try to reach her via her website. Thank you! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
@@IANDSvideos I see it!, Aniri That was my guardian angel, whom I've since heard from many times on this side. He got through to me at the lowest point in my addiction and told me after I drive very drunk, "This is the last time I can help you. And you DO know right from wrong!" I'm at work on a book about all my paranormal aftereffects, most of which involve him. I am shooting for Amazon publication by mid-August.
@@2LouisaI here many near death experience I know my aunt said she was a heaven gates and told it wasn’t her time yet then I knew a girl said she was in Hell and that’s why she changed her life.
I was talked into spending my vacation check on an oz. Of coke so we could sell it for a profit on the construction site where we worked. We also tooted a lot for free. I never really liked the stuff. Kinda like drinking 5 cups of coffee fast. My drug of choice was LSD. That’s when I realised that I was God, and so was everyone else. Never had an NDE.
Sound like a dream 😴 your brain keep creating images when your heart stop for a while
Dear Simo, actually the opposite is true. This reality is the dream, the spirit realm is much more real than this dream we are living here in the 3D Matrix. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
@@IANDSvideos interesting ! Goo thought
Hello.... I was wondering... isn't NDE kind of a misleading term? I propose that they should be called PDEs - Post Death Experience.
Dear FeedScrn, the term NDE was coined many years ago. And the word "post" means after. It would not be an After Death Experience, the person did not actually die, even though they were close to death. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Sounds more like a dream or a magic mushroom trip.
Dear Benji, the first thing you will realize when you transition is that this what we call life is nothing but a dream of our own creation. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
This sounded a lot like a dream I would have on any given night
Well, while certainly an interesting story and experience, the fact that this happened during a cocaine trip takes away a bit of my interest. Bad trips are to be expected. This seems very similar to NDEs though.
Much resemblance to a bad trip from an LSD overdose.
The reason they sounds similar, a trip from drugs and and a NDE, is because both takes you to the spirit realm. Sometimes a taking drugs can lead to an NDE. However, this is never recommended.
So, you left us in limbo. When did you realize you weren't an atheist anymore?
im not gonna make it....
God is light love peace and in Him is no darkness God is real Heaven is real .
hmm...are you sure there wasn't some DMT mixed in that drug concoction? haha. Btw...I'm a strong believer in NDEs but sometimes what may appear to be an NDE might be something like a hallucination, a dream, etc.
So nice to know that so called "christians " are totally wrong about going to hell for ever - Thank you Louisa!
@Sweden2023 you are overlooking the fact that she is not in her “eternity” forever dwelling place. She was sent back and basically given another chance so her final destination is tbd. At least that’s what this “so-called Christian” thinks but these NDEs are fascinating and reinforce my beliefs in God. PTL.
I always attempt to debunk, so isn't it possible this was a dream?
Dear CaptMorgan, my spiritual awakening came from science and quantum physics. In 7th grade science class my teacher stated that nothing is truly solid, we do not live in a solid world. It only appears solid with our extremely limited 5 human senses. However, everything is made from atoms, which an atom is 99.9999% empty space. Meaning the building blocks of the so-called physical world is not even solid. Science has proven that a human being can only detect about 0.035% of what is actually surrounding that human. I say all this to say, so many people say if they cannot see it, they don't believe it. When that person can only see approximately 0.04% of what is there. You say you "attempt to debunk". If you are attempting to debunk using only your 5 human senses, you are discounting 99.96% of reality. I never had a NDE, however, I did have a hallucination when I was in the ER. It was easy for me to know an hallucination or dream from an NDE. Most NDEers describe what they are experiencing as feeling much more REAL than this so-call physical world we live in. Thank you for your question. Much Love & Appreciation, Caroline🌹🙏💖
@cbchang6200 Anyone who says if they can't see it, they don't believe it, needs to read more. It should be obvious that there is much more to reality than what are 5 senses can detect.
We use our understanding of science and build instruments to experience things our physical senses can not. We learn more and keep exploring.
We now understand why matter appears to be solid, even though what it's made of is mostly empty. Electrons repelling other electrons. Using just our physical senses, we could never have learned this. So this brings me to why I always attempt to debunk. Far too many people are quick to call an experience supernatural when there are other explanations that haven't been explored. You see this all the time with paranormal investigators. I'm just suggesting that people should pump the brakes and think about what it is they might be experiencing.
@@captmorgan101472 I agree with you 100%. My suggestion for people is to follow their "Heart" and not just their brain when looking into anything. Our soul knows the Truth and that Truth is deep inside All of us. I suggest we follow our heart. Our heart will never steer us wrong. Thank you! Much Love & Appreciation, Caroline🌹🙏💖
@@cbchang6200 I love most of what you say, but "following your heart" actually isn't so clear if you are a person who loves an addict. "Following your heart" can lead you down a path of self destruction as you try to "save" the addict. Sometimes the co-dependent person has to leave the person they love more than life itself in order to save their own life. It's comparable to someone trying to save a drowning person who's thrashing about so much that they're going to take their own life and the life of the person who's trying to save them.
@@ultracalicokittycat You misunderstand my meaning. Following the heart as I refer is an inner stillness of LOVE! It is not connected to anything in the external world like an addiction. I mean to quiet your mind, deep breath, and focus on your breathing. Going inward to that stillness within and listening to your soul's guidance. This will not lead anyone to a physical addition. A physical addiction is coming from the mind, it is not coming from the inner wisdom of the heart and soul.🌹🙏💖
Ok, I have never ever had a ”religious experience”. Yet every single bone in my body knows that God exists and that Jesus is the (only) way to get home.
Dear Holmavik, just a reminder, IANDS is neutral and does not align itself with any particular social, religious, or political ideology. We welcome everyone to share of all religions and spiritual beliefs. This is a space for all to share in Love & Light! Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Geloof er niks van gebaseerd op de wijze waarop zij het verteld
It almost reads like you came in as an ant/bug or small mammal. How fascinating, from under the door....tiny!!!!!! ZOOMING TO THE LIGHT!! I have wondered in my years, do we also do the bug reincarnation thing? WE MAY NOT KNOW THAT TILL WE GO HOME AGAIN!
Dear Dinese, That is a very interesting question that many wonder about. Myself personally, I believe we experience everything that can be experienced as Infinite Souls that we truly are. Thank you for such a profound question. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
@@IANDSvideos oh, I totally agree, which is why I had the thought! 7 years now studying NDE’S, I never came across one where the size was described as as beautifully as the video.
We are so happy to hear that. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Why are all these stories so different to one another?
Dear Bt6850, just like everyone's life experience is uniquely different. So will NDE experiences be uniquely different. I hope this answers your question. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Yes, thank you, that does make sense.
@@IANDSvideos
Yup, we're all so different individuals.
I enjoy these NDE stories but the ones where the person was clearly high at the time of death makes their stories a bit suspect to me.
Not sure about this one
Seriously burping
I feel she had an experience not to sure if l would call it a NDE
Burping out sounds was how I THOUGHT of the primitive act of speaking -- as opposed to telepathy.
I’m an atheist. All an atheist is, is someone who doesn’t believe in god/gods, or says that there is no god. I see and hear and feel spirits. I’ve had out of body experiences where I’ve met non-physical beings. Still, I can confidently say that there is no god.
Dear @KARIS1961, Many mistake the term "God" for what many religions have made of this word. In many religions, man has mad God into Man's Image, not the other way around. The True meaning of God is NOT that at all. From your own description, I would say you are Spiritual, not religious. Many spiritual people understand that God is not as many religions teach. God is Unconditional LOVE. I am sure you believe in LOVE. God is LOVE, God is Source, God is the Universe, God is ALL THAT IS. We are all ONE with God, no matter what a person's religion or beliefs. There is no separation from God and everyone and everything. We are all ONE with God ALWAYS. Ancient Wisdom, Spirituality, and Quantum Physics all teach this Universal Truth of Oneness, also known as the Law of One. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Much Love & Appreciation, Caroline🌹🙏💖
This is a good video that was just posted today. It explains that God is not what religions teach us. th-cam.com/video/bBpABGATz58/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZItd4p9CN8VUAQrE
@@cbchang6200 Well said. I agree completely.
@@KohalaLover Thank you!🌹🙏💖
That light is Jesus because He said I am the light of the world he who believes in Me will never walk in darkness
Maybe Jesus had a NDE himself.
Wait... night club? Beautiful blue sky? 😒 🤔
Dear Lavender, when a soul leaves the body, it does not matter where your body is located. Yes, this is very much possible, because the soul can experience anything while out of the body. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
I think the sun was god .
Christ is love, He is THE light and He is the savior, lady, did you encounter Him?
Dear Rcdonis, Yes, Jesus taught that God is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR ALL! That is the core of Jesus's teaching. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
look, there could be another dimension that we go to. It doesn't have to be God and jesus and heaven and all that stuff . You can still not believe in a god with a big white beard and all that, but still believe that another dimension beyond life exists.
Thank you for sharing your perceptions. Sending love -Loreli@IANDS
Dear Stevo5000, Thank you for your comment. You are 100% Correct! There are so many NDE experiences that are so uniquely difference. I do kind of believe we might see who we believe in, in our NDE experience. Therefore, a Christian may see Jesus, a Muslin may see Allah, a Buddhist may see Buddha, and so forth. Many NDE's just speak of seeing a bright white light and maybe loved ones in spirit. Every NDE experience is uniquely difference, even though there may be some similar in the experiences, they are ALL Unique. Thank you for sharing your comments. Much Love & Appreciation, Caroline🌹🙏💖
Doubt very much being a NDE, may be astral projection🎉
More like a drug induced out of body experience!
It could have been both! An NDE and Out of Body experience. Many times it is not "This or That", it can be This And That".🌹🙏💖
You had a drug induced experience. Even if your heart stopped your brain was active. Even if it wasnt, who says this didnt happen just before you revived.
Not to detract from the experience. Ive had drug induced experiences which were profound and uncanny. A lot of NDE features are replicated in, say, a DMT trip. Does that make it real? Sure. What is real? Who is to say reality is anything to the individual but what the brain perceives. Does life continue after death? Maybe, but you know one thing every NDEer shares (and pretty much the only thing they share) is that they didn't die. They nearly died and that's got to be taken into account.
The fact that every NDE is so different with these commonalities like rebirth through a tunnel into light, the life review etc. Doesnt really prove anything except that certain human experiences (the memory of birth maybe?) Occur. Otherwise every story is different. So either everyone is lying (I doubt it) or everyone interprets the process in subtly different ways based on their exposures to culture. In your case you had a hedonistic experience and found the love you craved. Hardly difficult to see why given your personality at the time.
Still, these experiences are life changing and usually for the better. Glad you got out of that self destructive spiral and grew up.
Dear NL, if every person's life experience is uniquely difference, why would you expect everyone's transition/death experience to be the same? Just like everyone has different and unique perspectives about life, each will have unique and different perspectives when transitioning. The proof that life is eternal is overwhelming. However, everyone can believe what resonates as true for them. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
Sounds more like a trip than an NDE.
Lidocaine is metabolized quickly so not much mystery.
Atheism requirement is just the lack of belief in deities (a god, gods). You can be an atheist, fly among ghosts, have OBEs, etc. and remain atheist as long as you didn't encounter evidence of gods.
You can be an atheist and be spiritual. I am. NDEs therefore become theist is not a true correlation.
Dear Claudio, Yes you can think of it that way. For me what you are described is being Spiritual. For me being Spiritual is not subscribing to any one religion. I have the utmost respect for everyone's religion. However, I do not claim to be any religion, however, I am extremely Spiritual. Thank you for sharing your comment. Much Love & Appreciation🌹🙏💖
@@IANDSvideos Same here.
Sad…. I give God the glory for my life. I thank Jesus for what he did for me❤
@@IANDSvideos Same here. After my experience I left religion for spirituality. I don't prescribe to any religion. If God has any religion it is LOVE and nothing else.
