I believe Evil comes from humans and our free will. We cannot know the light without the darkness. I think there is no need to feel guilty over falling short as we are all here to learn in this Earth School and so we have to make mistakes in order to learn from them.
As well as simply being the absence of God, much as darkness is merely the absence of light. It comes primarily of a rejection of God and love, which of course we have complete free will to choose if we wish to.
These experiences are so important. I left my body in 2014 and the experience was more real than any other moment I have had in my body. I realized that we are all eternal and indestructible. The person you see in the mirror is only a small part of who you are, your ego personality is not you, it’s a temporary costume nothing more.
Mary Jo was unrelentingly honest. Very articulate and expressive! Wonderful and inspiring interview! Her faith is so firm. She must be a wonderful therapist!
I see this body as a cocoon for the spirit..Metophoricly speaking...like a butterfly. The spirit is growing inside and always learning things of the spirit while in the body until we're mature and ready to leave it. This is the work they speak of.
As lovely as Mary Jo is and her story as well, I don’t believe in the ideas of sin and guilt. We’re human and we get off track/ out of alignment, it’s part of life. It’s how we learn.🔆
Did we know the track we were supposed to be on to get get off of ? We were taught Religion not spiritually. We celebrated Easter. Instead of Passover. Christmas. No such thing. Until Religious Government made it a holiday.
23:42 pm ..dear Mary this bought tears to my eyes with emotion , I had a NDE in a waking dream , realy didn't feel like a dream ...I dreamed my garden shed fell on me ,it was very vivid , I was pulled up into the sky and god spoke to me in thought ,he told me how much he loved me , I woke up full of the love of God..I have never felt love like that , x
I think our human nature is subject to alot of deep insecurities,and lack of true love. Its so encouraging to know that unconditional love is our true purpose. Awesome interview
Incredible how eloquently Mary Jo tells her experience. Thank you, Melissa, by just let her narrate and almost being "invisible". I hope you understand this really as a compliment.
Thank you.. not that I didn't want to to hear all the pre NDE information.. but I was getting impatient waiting for her to tell the Metaphysical side... ❤❤❤ love & Light to all
It's all good. She was a little bit of a Chatty Cathy. I understand the need to be validated and be heard. But I also figured sometimes people need to hear the hope first. I come to these NDE videos myself when it all seems hopeless.
That depression is hella real. I went on a search for months to years until finally i said enough when its my time it will be my time. I'm amazed and surprised that most who experience out of body or near death experience that there are so many commonalities amongst everyone's accounts. Truly amazing and beautiful.
This story isn't going to change me 'overnight', as you put it... but it is a beautiful story. Just a note: use more discernment when titling your videos. If the video doesn't live up to the expectation of the viewer, they'll be disappointed. Most people watch these anyway, regardless of the kitchy, click-bait label. 💞✨👍
Wonderful and credible account. The interpretation does not square up. My perspective: there is no sin or karma to account for UNLESS you set that up for yourself. Which is completely plausible as beliefs can carry you into the next dimension in a way you have anticipated 100%. If you are an NDE aficionado the stories are very different, some similarities. Myself, have had an enlightenment experience which was simply visiting the "unified field" - pure awareness, no love, no me, no body, roiling white awareness. So there are so many experiences to be had in-between. I don't take anyone's word for it now but love hearing these accounts. Really, all you know is what you have experienced that you can recall; everything else outside your experience may not be truth at all. One thing, we are all here together on this planet facing daunting challenges; who we really are must be extraordinary and powerful.
This is another testimony which reinforces my perspective that NDEs generally reflect religious upbringing, as it seems source connects with us in a way that we understand based on our earthly worldview. It's interesting that the tenets of Catholicism seemed to be stronger after her experience as evidenced by her sharing about increased guilt, worry about sin, the maleness of God, and an assumption that life begins at the moment of conception. It's all very interesting. Much of her experience doesn't resonate with me, but I don't doubt her experience.
true, and when I see/hear NDEs "experiences" that reinforce a lot of the nonsense of religious tenets then I just tend to believe these people are not just being truthful.
You have something here... I have also noticed this. Lower vibration / suicide ones have the dark pit and "hellish" type experiences. Perhaps vibration at death has somethng to do with the experience... you get the experience that you expect. Cattering to your beliefs / self-vibration.
I wonder how she reconciles her background as a psychologist with her Catholicism. It's a classic "no win" situation. No matter what you do, it's never "good enough". Hence, guilt is always built into the situation. One will never be able to live up to Christ's standards.
You all have your own beliefs as well. The difference is that you don't seem to realise it. "Religion" is not the only thing that classifies as belief. We don't exist in a void. People get beliefs from many aspects of the culture they live in. You think religion is the only restrictive and controlled thing? We live in a world where there exist culture creators, social engineers influencing your thoughts in ways you don't even realize. Ways of influencing large groups of people have been studied for decades, or more. There is a kind of arrogance that comes from thinking your ideas don't come from some kind of influence while at the same time subtly putting down another's experience and thoughts. She had the experience, not you. It is what it is. Hopefully if you die and come back you'll realize the value of people who listen and respect your experience for what it is.
@@donnaknudson7296 - I don't disagree with much of what you wrote. However, I never indicated I didn't value her shared experience. But of course different things will resonate with different people, and I find other people who have shared their experiences resonate with me in a way this doesn't. For any of us to make any claims about truth is arrogant since we are talking about something that is all based on people's subjective, personal experience, the language they use to share it, and of course, our own filters. I indicated it seemed, and I thought, and it was interesting, I did not make sweeping claims of rightness or certainty. My thoughts are only that, and they are subjective, how they are interpreted by others is also subjective. You don't find it interesting that some people have NDEs that cause them to deconstruct, and then others, like this guest, that do the opposite? I think it's fascinating and I'm just trying to make sense of the differences with my limited human intellect.
Beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing. Your view on how you felt about God at the time of your death was exactly how I felt about God. At the time I cried out to him. I had no relationship with him for over 40 years until my death. Thank you for sharing that.❤️
If only people knew what is like to have an NDE or OBE they would understand I keep asking myself why keep waiting to share my experiences with others, but after reading some of the comments on this podcast and others the answer flows in I thank this lady for sharing her experiences knowing very well the amount of hate that lives in peoples thoughts Ego and intellect and I wish her the well on her path already set for her by the Father If only people knew how simple all is and how easy their lives would become if they only trust and let go of this world If they only knew the amount of Love that awaits them I truly wish they knew because them they will understand the things we say If I tell you earthly things that you have seen and you don’t believe me, how can I tell you about heavenly things that you haven’t seen? So true!
Once you feel that love you understand the love we show is more like hate. It has no comparison. His is non-conditional and ours is completely conditional.
What o liked about Mary Jo testimony She gave respect to Gods power , his love , his all knowing, his authority, and wisdom I really enjoyed this and all NDEs
Thank you for sharing my NDE sister I truly appreciate you I wish you well on your path and all the love from our Creator Be Love and you should be blessed
I also dream of a world where every child is wanted. Our society greatly underestimates how unwanted and vulnerable children are targeted for sex trafficking and other lifelong terrors. Humans have the ability to eliminate this evil.
Exactly. Once I went through my awakening, there was no other feeling, but going home. Perfectly said. Beautiful experience and clearly she’s able to have a very articulate recollection/interpretation of what happened to her. SO perfectly accurate re: how the non-physical is so far beyond our ability to conceptualize even a small part of it while in human consciousness. Lastly, and this is certainly not to be reductive, but her perception of “God” holding her was more likely a Guide or Angel, which, of course, like us, is God source energy. It probably came from her traditional religious background. That’s what made her comfortable in the experience. Also, she’s still incorporating a lot of her traditional religious beliefs into the experience and her current life perception. Feeling shame over “Sin”. We come here to experience the contrast. Anything that is non-love. We expand through our perception of the contrast. It’s really inconsequential but God is ALL that is, as opposed to a singular Being. Well done
Omg, the way you described the pop in your neck and the eyes crossing or only being able to see peripherally and especially about the arms lifting and waving on their own .. that exact same thing happened to ME after I had hyperextended my neck, but I had always equated it to the sheath around a ligament having popped.
Another great guest. Thanks so much Mel. I love & really appreciate your full interview uploads. Hope you'll be able to do it more often. Peace and light 😊
I think that might be more common than we realize. Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a Danish theologian/philosopher and the so-called Father of Existentialism and has a lot of quotes to his credit but one that always stuck out in my mind went something like this: "We all fight with God, like children fighting with an adult parent, but we have to step away from him and get a little distance from him as well as turn our backs on him so we aren't eye-to-eye with God in order to fight with him.) It may be that the same is true when we try to impress God with our goodness. We have to sort of hide behind a tree when we "impress" the Creator of the Universe.
Thanks for sharing Mary! 5 minutes in and your position of accountibility is appreciated. Lots of lies on the internet and great to see such passion and sincerity in your story. In the questioning about God/"source" when he held you... you felt held and pure love. (I think this was part of the healing/purification process if you can relate the experience.) Our natural self outside of this human body is pure LOVE. I strongly beleive that the love you felt was YOU and the source that held you was also YOU. You argued with yourself about coming back. I mean no offense but I have found that religion is man-made not from the divine. The church pushes sin and repentance when there is actually no judegment in death. I have watched hundrends of NDE's and the common is a "life review" and pure love... not judgement as the church pushes fear to control you. ~ Love and Peace!
Ok stupid semantics/contrarian realization here: if religion is man-made then it's from God because man is God. Evangelical pastors are God and so are the people in the church of Satan. Really a head scratcher init
@@annemariemcgowan9273 I have heard this before and usually from people that are struggling with the truth and the deception of the church and bible book. I get it, but I have a greater understanding of who we are and where we come from. I respect where you are... deception from within is hard to overcome; especially since it is/was all you know. ~ Love and Peace unto you in your journey.
@@bobbrownintruth Im Roman Catholic x I dont fear God. I've never been afraid of him. I run to the Lord when I am afraid. I'm not confused. I'm solid in my faith. I'm glad you feel content with your beliefs x
I have seen this before. I like her. I think she is very genuine! She seems to struggle a little because I get the feeling she has a hard time trying to explain some of what she saw.
It hurts to think that we do not have a choice about coming here, but I have received information that leads me to believe that is true at least some of the time, and I agree that life is sacred, which is to stay the story is ours if we are brave enough to live our true path. I think we do have some degree of free will and that souls could choose another birth if one did not remain available as denied by a woman and her choice, which is a part of her story too, whether it be a story of protection or fear.
Yes... Because we humans dont really understand what Love is. We are confusing It with attachments and with feelings. The worm energy of compassion or gratefulness can give us a part of experience of what Love is. Love is God, and It is all giving and forgiving. But, as we are so focused on ourselfes, we live by getting and forgetting, just the opposite. I think that the only purpose of this Life is to develope the Love that we are in our core. We are not separate from God who is All that Is, we are incarnations of Love... 💛🙏
Yes, you are correct based on my own experience. God told me my purpose prior to coming here. God asked me to "help." Given the context and the entire conversation, I took that to mean that I was to help to make or push things toward the way God would want them. God was also clear to me that it would not be an easy task nor would it be likely that I would be able to do a whole lot. But God was clear that any help, even just a little, would be appreciated. I did not understand this at the time because God had also told me that I would be able to call on God and get help from God if I needed. This made me think, it would be a trivial situation. But God made it clear to me that I did not yet understand what it was like in actuality and trivial it would not be. The Power and Love of God is so great, it's easy to feel like it's going to be really easy, when it's definitely not. God was clear about my importance to God. I imagine all or most humans go through something at least vaguely similar.
@@J-hz4jb I myself try my best, but I have done some sin in my life and just hope and pray that it is been forgiven. I myself have forgiven others and remind myself always to forgive them again. Thats how I help, but the suffering of loneliness caused by my low selfsteem and sin stops me from becoming who I should be able to become. I just hope that I meet god once, maybe in a dream and have the possibility to reflect on my life to also find the missing relationship love I am searching currently.
@@frahohen I have found that reading some of the Words of Jesus, as written in the New Testament, to help a lot. I imagine that a lot of people jump start their way into spiritualism by meditating on the Teachings of Jesus Christ. Since we live in modern times, the Old Testament, is not where I suggest most people should begin their positive and love based journey because The New Testament speaks to us where we are today, in modern times, we do not live in ancient times. I don't think there's anyone who has not made mistakes, it's pretty much impossible from what I've seen. Repentance and accepting what Jesus did is The Way. The Relationship and The Holy Spirit of God wait all living human souls who sincerely seek it. Jesus can guide a human soul through the 12-step or 3-step programs - a congregation is not required, but they can be helpful sometimes also. God Bless all.
I love stories like this, and your entire channel. My only nagging fundamental Christian, annoying voice in my head is, what if all of these are just dreams or “the demonic.” I’m always fearful to “replace” the truth with something false. Whether it’s ECT, or certain views on judgement, etc. I’m sure you know where I’m coming from! Any advice?
How do you know that the Jesus ones are real? Your fear is similar to Pascal's wager but think about it: aren't you afraid you are going to Hell because you never were a Muslim? A Jew? All that you have learned about strict religion comes from your own background and past. Are they more trustworthy than anyone else? Or did they just happen to be FIRST in your life?
I may be able to help as I have researched this and had the same concerns as you do early on. (both me and my wife) My background: Catholic School, Baptist, Lutheran, Christian, Fight Club (men's church club), served in the church for 8+ years behind the scenes/worship program lighting. I LOVE(d) MY CHURCH 100% - (I felt I needed to include this, not to convince or push an agenda... but to let you know that I am a real person with real emotions and can familiarize deeply with this concern.) My concern: "NDE's are medical induced, drugs, hallucinations right? / Perhaps something the body does to try and survive. "Instinct kicks in and the survival mode is to try and keep the brain and body alive so conciousness can remain in tact." It honestly took a long time and watching NDE after NDE video (100's)... different sources, channels, books, articles, scientific evidence, Dr. Raymond Moody, anything credible that I could find. I can save you time, but if you are like I was... I trusted nothing. It's the internet right?!?! You do not know any of these people. They could be acting with the channel ops to get $$$, they could be seeking attention or 5 minutes of fame... unless I experienced the NDE myself, I would never know. I started trying to disprove the NDE's... I found that NDE's never mention JUDGEMENT; there is a life review only. I started to quesiton the church and the bible book; I found that the book of Genesis from the bible and the enuma elish are very similar. Scarey similar. I found that all religions seem to point to the exact same God. I found fear pushing and deception behind the bible and the church. (this was a very hard one for me... not taking this lightly. Blaspheme is a huge sin in the Catholic church... however, I stand firm in my findings.) I discovered that Jesus came here not as a prophet or as god, but as a teacher of the way. He was crucified? Maybe. But not for our sins. And finally the answer came when I sat down in a quiet place with all this information in my head and meditated on it. (That was 3 months ago) Me and my wife are now living truth and seeking our higher self; learning all those things the church never taught us or told us to stay away from. The things of these NDE's and who we truly are as humans.
I think there are evil entities who will do anything to capture your soul. What better way to capture you by telling you that sins are not evil. Follow God's commandments x
Multiple NDE-ers have changed to or reaffirmed an anti-abortion stance, which is not the same as pro-life. They often say, as Mary Jo does, that they don't support a law prohibiting abortion, but they strongly believe that it isn't the highest will of God that a pregnancy be artificially ended. Anita Moorjani is one that comes to mind.
I thought PMH Atwater had some good advice. It's not a matter of legislation. But neither is it simply "pro-choice". She has to mediate, also consider *both* her situation, and what the soul of the child wants. Every situation is different.
@@mintakan003 These NDE-ers have said that if the child weren't meant to be here, then it wouldn't bere. Your scenario is somewhat like a murdered taking into consideration their situation and the situation of their victim. Under no circumstances is it meant for the murderer to put themselves in the position to decide the life of another.
@@mintakan003 "Early-on in my research I asked two questions of the adult experiencers I had sessions with. I asked what they felt about suicide and abortion. The majority said no to both. No! I suspect that the reason they felt this way is that the majority were exposed to the soul during their episode. This open, expansive view and different way of thinking forever changes how they look at finite, earthplane matters. Often they strive to see through the "eyes" of the soul, afterward, rather than their own eyes. This can inspire pro-choice thinking, certainly, but more often than not, it causes experiencers to shift their point of view to things spiritual rather than earthy or personality-based. The soul's will becomes a priority when this occurs ... and the soul thrives on honesty and forgiveness. Blame is foreign to its existence." -- PMH Atwater
I know this is a silly observation, based on the topic of conversation, but she looks so much like Jenifer Grey, after she had her nose job. Jenifer Grey is the actor who portrays "Baby" in the movie "Dirty Dancing" and a few other very popular during the 80s and 90s. Then she got a nose job and looked so unlike herself , that she lost all her work, and couldnt get anything new until years later. But this amazing woman looks so similar, I thought it was Jenifer Grey until Mary Jo started speaking!!
Wow, I'm so perplexed that she would have a loving encounter w God n then return talking about sin n judgment. He certainly didn't judge her or ask her to account for her sins---he simply asked you to love unconditionally.
Just wanted to add , only god can change our hearts. He is sovereign over life and death and i believe his main purpose is to draw us home to himself, unconditional love
Perhaps its different for other people. She is catholic so she may have taken this in a dif. Way that you may take it. Either way i respect her thoughts on this. Some of us are better at self reflection and we should if we want to discover how truly loving we are or are not. Judgement is a dif story altogether. We all have a journey :) I used to think I was a good person and i suppose im still that but its not what i feel i am called to be. I believe i am called to be more. To be the best at love i can be. As i said before…its our own journey.
Yup... 1,000's of NDE testimonies, medical research and they all say this same thing. There definately is an explanation. Might I recommend Dr. Raymond Moody? He seems to have a bunch of credible research that may help you understand.
they don't all say the same thing do they? she says death is painful. many say quite the opposite. but the core message is always the same I think: all is love, god is love, we are part of god and so on... wonderful, just heard the closing remarks. three things: what your thoughts are, your spirit and what you want to leave when you go. thanks for that. great. I needed that I think. prob'ly got steered to it by my angel :)
Trigger warning ⚠️ I had a soul connect to me pre birth. This is just one spiritual experience I have had but this one is probably one of the most difficult topics not many people are willing to discuss or share. It happened to me and this is my experience to be open about or not. I had an experience with @bor+ion. I was in an @busive relationship when I was a teenager. Unable to just “leave” for a multitude of reasons at that time. I had fallen pregnant for a second time with that person. But he was displaying even more disturbing erratic behavior than ever. Our daughter was a month shy of 1 years old. I ended up terminating the pregnancy. I was very sad the whole situation was traumatic. I had it at home via pill instead of in clinic. I cried and prayed for God and the soul to forgive me and how sorry I was for the situation. I was due Nov 17th 2014. Every year I would remember the due date and mourn. A few years later I was out of that horrible relationship and married to my husband. We had a son whom my daughter predicted also. She drew a picture and told me I was pregnant with her brother and I actually was indeed pregnant at the same time unknowingly! This is the story of the soul contact. In 2021 Nov, I had been having a deep depression due to the state of the world and other personal problems. I was overwhelmed and forgot the dates of the days too lost in my thoughts. On November 20th I had a dream that was so vividly real. A little girl in a white nightgown came to me. She told me she was my daughters sister and that she played with her all the time. She was my daughter that I had terminated. She showed me the termination in steps on the soul level, in the spirit realm. I saw a woman, I believe a spirit guide take a very small baby that was glowing with white light, from my stomach area. She gently lovingly cupped the baby in her palms and walked to the spirit realm. Where she was taken care of and waited for us on the other side. The little girl was aged up to what she would have been if I had her here. There wasn’t judgement or anger. She talked to me with so much love and explained everything. She wanted me to know she didn’t go alone and we weren’t without her. I woke up BAWLING! I apologized to her for not honoring her and forgetting the day. I know she wasn’t judging me for it but was letting me know she was there. Aware of everything. From there on we experienced light paranormal activity in our apartment. In a couple of months, Feb, I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant! Due again in November and I ended up having a baby girl. I believe her soul came back. She is my infant daughter currently. But her soul was with me the whole time and with her sister. I gave her a name that means “New Life”. 🌈☀️💕🤍
I was always thinking, the biggest failure you can make in life is to become a psychologist. But now as I was studying the traits of my narcissistic wife I became myself an expert of psychology in this field 🤭. Pain is always the best teacher.
just had a really crazy thing happen. almost died today on the bicycle, some guy in yellow porsche didn't yield at the stop sign and almost hit me and for a few just right before I had a vision of what would happen and then I was suddenly pushed away it was really weird, I stayed 100% calm. I wonder if this is the next time line but really now i feel I still have purpose in this life and lately Ive been at a low point, okay I am done.
The idea that we have free will is not consistent with unconditional love and forgiveness. I think free will is part of the illusion of this realm. We need to think this realm is real, when it is not. So we are told we have free will.
Libertarian free will is a sacred cow to people. But in reality, it's easy to see that free will does not exist. Nothing is free from causation, in one way or another. The ability to make decisions is not the same thing as free will. And people confuse the two. Free will is a pervasive myth. Even some neuroscientists know this. Like Sam Harris, for one.
God is like "0" (zero) that split itself into both a -1 (minus one) and +1 (plus one) creating the illusionary duality in our earthly life, in order to experience it through us. in the same way, light needs darkness, life needs death, but the reality and the truth is that they are still a oneness. We need to recognize and realize that. We are the "0" (zero)...
I think we are the consciousness within which the atomic structure emerged. How else would the atoms in our body have organized to form a human being. My view is: You alone are. The person is an illusion. The raw sense of being is the being in all. Is not the believe in God as separate from yourself the reason you experience God as you did in your NDE?
NDE begins at 17:00
Thanks!
@Dofa Sofa. I wish I had read this comment before I listened to it all.
Thanks
I think lm having an nde just from the sheer brute agony of it😂
I wish I had scrolled down to this 17 minutes ago lol
I believe Evil comes from humans and our free will. We cannot know the light without the darkness. I think there is no need to feel guilty over falling short as we are all here to learn in this Earth School and so we have to make mistakes in order to learn from them.
As well as simply being the absence of God, much as darkness is merely the absence of light. It comes primarily of a rejection of God and love, which of course we have complete free will to choose if we wish to.
Perfectly said Nipponsuki
Evil comes from demons who manipulate and influence humans directly or indirectly. Evil is from demons, not man.
@@Fonch117 I don't believe that at all but everyone has their own opinions.
I agree. We're expected to do the best we can, but it's well understood that we're not perfect.
These experiences are so important. I left my body in 2014 and the experience was more real than any other moment I have had in my body. I realized that we are all eternal and indestructible. The person you see in the mirror is only a small part of who you are, your ego personality is not you, it’s a temporary costume nothing more.
So eloquently put, just beautiful x
How does one achieve leaving one's body?
Mary Jo was unrelentingly honest. Very articulate and expressive! Wonderful and inspiring interview! Her faith is so firm. She must be a wonderful therapist!
I see this body as a cocoon for the spirit..Metophoricly speaking...like a butterfly. The spirit is growing inside and always learning things of the spirit while in the body until we're mature and ready to leave it. This is the work they speak of.
One day we gonna fly as a butterfly for sure…
Great analogy!
Beautiful description!🎉
As lovely as Mary Jo is and her story as well, I don’t believe in the ideas of sin and guilt. We’re human and we get off track/ out of alignment, it’s part of life. It’s how we learn.🔆

Learning to use the infinite mind is the way. Love forever. Have fun.
This is another testimony which reinforces my perspective that NDEs generally reflect religious upbringing, as it seems source connects with us in a way that we understand based on our earthly worldview. It's interesting that the tenets of Catholicism seemed to be stronger after her experience as evidenced by her sharing about increased guilt, worry about sin, the maleness of God, and an assumption that life begins at the moment of conception. It's all very interesting. Much of her experience doesn't resonate with me, but I don't doubt her experience.
true, and when I see/hear NDEs "experiences" that reinforce a lot of the nonsense of religious tenets then I just tend to believe these people are not just being truthful.
You have something here... I have also noticed this. Lower vibration / suicide ones have the dark pit and "hellish" type experiences. Perhaps vibration at death has somethng to do with the experience... you get the experience that you expect. Cattering to your beliefs / self-vibration.
I wonder how she reconciles her background as a psychologist with her Catholicism. It's a classic "no win" situation. No matter what you do, it's never "good enough". Hence, guilt is always built into the situation. One will never be able to live up to Christ's standards.
You all have your own beliefs as well. The difference is that you don't seem to realise it. "Religion" is not the only thing that classifies as belief. We don't exist in a void. People get beliefs from many aspects of the culture they live in. You think religion is the only restrictive and controlled thing? We live in a world where there exist culture creators, social engineers influencing your thoughts in ways you don't even realize. Ways of influencing large groups of people have been studied for decades, or more. There is a kind of arrogance that comes from thinking your ideas don't come from some kind of influence while at the same time subtly putting down another's experience and thoughts. She had the experience, not you. It is what it is. Hopefully if you die and come back you'll realize the value of people who listen and respect your experience for what it is.
@@donnaknudson7296 - I don't disagree with much of what you wrote. However, I never indicated I didn't value her shared experience. But of course different things will resonate with different people, and I find other people who have shared their experiences resonate with me in a way this doesn't. For any of us to make any claims about truth is arrogant since we are talking about something that is all based on people's subjective, personal experience, the language they use to share it, and of course, our own filters. I indicated it seemed, and I thought, and it was interesting, I did not make sweeping claims of rightness or certainty. My thoughts are only that, and they are subjective, how they are interpreted by others is also subjective. You don't find it interesting that some people have NDEs that cause them to deconstruct, and then others, like this guest, that do the opposite? I think it's fascinating and I'm just trying to make sense of the differences with my limited human intellect.
Beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing. Your view on how you felt about God at the time of your death was exactly how I felt about God. At the time I cried out to him. I had no relationship with him for over 40 years until my death. Thank you for sharing that.❤️
If only people knew what is like to have an NDE or OBE they would understand
I keep asking myself why keep waiting to share my experiences with others, but after reading some of the comments on this podcast and others the answer flows in
I thank this lady for sharing her experiences knowing very well the amount of hate that lives in peoples thoughts Ego and intellect and I wish her the well on her path already set for her by the Father
If only people knew how simple all is and how easy their lives would become if they only trust and let go of this world
If they only knew the amount of Love that awaits them
I truly wish they knew because them they will understand the things we say
If I tell you earthly things that you have seen and you don’t believe me, how can I tell you about heavenly things that you haven’t seen?
So true!
Beautiful thank you Mary jos light shines so bright, thank you for this wonderful interview 🙏💕
Once you feel that love you understand the love we show is more like hate. It has no comparison. His is non-conditional and ours is completely conditional.
What o liked about Mary Jo testimony
She gave respect to Gods power , his love , his all knowing, his authority, and wisdom
I really enjoyed this and all NDEs
Thank you for sharing my NDE sister
I truly appreciate you
I wish you well on your path and all the love from our Creator
Be Love and you should be blessed
Becoming spiritual made me pro choice because now I realize the soul is eternal and it’s better to just find another avatar where you will be wanted.
I also dream of a world where every child is wanted. Our society greatly underestimates how unwanted and vulnerable children are targeted for sex trafficking and other lifelong terrors. Humans have the ability to eliminate this evil.
Exactly. Once I went through my awakening, there was no other feeling, but going home. Perfectly said. Beautiful experience and clearly she’s able to have a very articulate recollection/interpretation of what happened to her. SO perfectly accurate re: how the non-physical is so far beyond our ability to conceptualize even a small part of it while in human consciousness. Lastly, and this is certainly not to be reductive, but her perception of “God” holding her was more likely a Guide or Angel, which, of course, like us, is God source energy. It probably came from her traditional religious background. That’s what made her comfortable in the experience. Also, she’s still incorporating a lot of her traditional religious beliefs into the experience and her current life perception. Feeling shame over “Sin”. We come here to experience the contrast. Anything that is non-love. We expand through our perception of the contrast. It’s really inconsequential but God is ALL that is, as opposed to a singular Being. Well done
When I have my obe’s I am able to see Home and when I get back I can still picture it but it is hard to explain how it looks to ppl.
@@hoy6705 try your best.
rich ! rich ! rich ! thank you SO much Mary Jo & Melissa ! So inspiring & expansive !
This is so beautiful NDE. " I Am That I Am ". I love you so much GOD.
Omg, the way you described the pop in your neck and the eyes crossing or only being able to see peripherally and especially about the arms lifting and waving on their own .. that exact same thing happened to ME after I had hyperextended my neck, but I had always equated it to the sheath around a ligament having popped.
You should get that checked. That happened to my mom and she is no longer with us. 😢
The best channel ever 🌟🙏🏽💜
Thank you so much!! 🌟💖
I find the guest a wonderful human being. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the Interviewer as well.
Thank you Mary Jo.
Another great guest. Thanks so much Mel. I love & really appreciate your full interview uploads. Hope you'll be able to do it more often. Peace and light 😊
I agree!! Looks like full length podcasts posts is definitely a thing now 😁😁😁
I first heard Mary's story many years ago, one of my fav NDEs!
1. what your thoughts are, 2. what your spiritual life is, and 3. what you want to leave on this earth....assess before relationship...
WOW - that was amazing - brought me to tears.
Mary thank you so much, so interlectual uncommon
So Beautifully Spoken ❤
yeah fr
I had to chuckle when you said how you were trying to impress God. Great testimony. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for watching!
I think that might be more common than we realize. Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a Danish theologian/philosopher and the so-called Father of Existentialism and has a lot of quotes to his credit but one that always stuck out in my mind went something like this: "We all fight with God, like children fighting with an adult parent, but we have to step away from him and get a little distance from him as well as turn our backs on him so we aren't eye-to-eye with God in order to fight with him.) It may be that the same is true when we try to impress God with our goodness. We have to sort of hide behind a tree when we "impress" the Creator of the Universe.
Mary Jo, I LOVED hearing your experience…… it was so raw and honest! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Thank You ✨💜✨
Thanks for sharing Mary! 5 minutes in and your position of accountibility is appreciated. Lots of lies on the internet and great to see such passion and sincerity in your story. In the questioning about God/"source" when he held you... you felt held and pure love. (I think this was part of the healing/purification process if you can relate the experience.) Our natural self outside of this human body is pure LOVE. I strongly beleive that the love you felt was YOU and the source that held you was also YOU. You argued with yourself about coming back. I mean no offense but I have found that religion is man-made not from the divine. The church pushes sin and repentance when there is actually no judegment in death. I have watched hundrends of NDE's and the common is a "life review" and pure love... not judgement as the church pushes fear to control you. ~ Love and Peace!
Thank you for watching Bob!
Ok stupid semantics/contrarian realization here: if religion is man-made then it's from God because man is God. Evangelical pastors are God and so are the people in the church of Satan. Really a head scratcher init
Judgement doesnt come at death. Judgement will come on Judgement Day as prophesied.
@@annemariemcgowan9273 I have heard this before and usually from people that are struggling with the truth and the deception of the church and bible book. I get it, but I have a greater understanding of who we are and where we come from. I respect where you are... deception from within is hard to overcome; especially since it is/was all you know. ~ Love and Peace unto you in your journey.
@@bobbrownintruth Im Roman Catholic x I dont fear God. I've never been afraid of him. I run to the Lord when I am afraid. I'm not confused. I'm solid in my faith. I'm glad you feel content with your beliefs x
I really enjoyed hearing this one and her final message. A great challenge for me. Thank you
Thank you for your testimony 🙏 beautiful brought peace to my heart known creator is always with us
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Made me cry.
I respect the idea she's not willing to change the story so you'll all be more comfortable. Reality doesn't care if we're uncomfortable with her.
Wow you’re story made me cry I also am from a big Italian family
Thank you for your intimate honesty!!!! I’m an LCSW, private practice in Ca. Appreciate your experiences!!
That was beautifully told and really reassuring!❤
I have seen this before. I like her. I think she is very genuine! She seems to struggle a little because I get the feeling she has a hard time trying to explain some of what she saw.
Amazing interview, thank you both so very much indeed.
My heart swells ✨❤️🔥✨
Most beautiful person
This one is so awesome!!!
You're awesome!
@@LoveCoveredLifePodcast Thank you! You too!
Really good interview!!!
He changed me in an instant when I experienced that love… mine was not an NDE.
I loved this interview. She gives me a lot to think about.
My mom had an aneurysm and she didn’t make it😢 in 2021. She was my best friend.
It hurts to think that we do not have a choice about coming here, but I have received information that leads me to believe that is true at least some of the time, and I agree that life is sacred, which is to stay the story is ours if we are brave enough to live our true path. I think we do have some degree of free will and that souls could choose another birth if one did not remain available as denied by a woman and her choice, which is a part of her story too, whether it be a story of protection or fear.
Yes... Because we humans dont really understand what Love is. We are confusing It with attachments and with feelings. The worm energy of compassion or gratefulness can give us a part of experience of what Love is. Love is God, and It is all giving and forgiving. But, as we are so focused on ourselfes, we live by getting and forgetting, just the opposite. I think that the only purpose of this Life is to develope the Love that we are in our core. We are not separate from God who is All that Is, we are incarnations of Love... 💛🙏
Yes, loving those who don’t love you is hard
Brilliant. Really really enjoyed this interview ❤
We need to create this heaven on earth. This is our purpose. You should feel lucky to have the opportunity to do better.
Yes, you are correct based on my own experience. God told me my purpose prior to coming here. God asked me to "help." Given the context and the entire conversation, I took that to mean that I was to help to make or push things toward the way God would want them. God was also clear to me that it would not be an easy task nor would it be likely that I would be able to do a whole lot. But God was clear that any help, even just a little, would be appreciated. I did not understand this at the time because God had also told me that I would be able to call on God and get help from God if I needed. This made me think, it would be a trivial situation. But God made it clear to me that I did not yet understand what it was like in actuality and trivial it would not be. The Power and Love of God is so great, it's easy to feel like it's going to be really easy, when it's definitely not. God was clear about my importance to God. I imagine all or most humans go through something at least vaguely similar.
@@J-hz4jb I myself try my best, but I have done some sin in my life and just hope and pray that it is been forgiven. I myself have forgiven others and remind myself always to forgive them again. Thats how I help, but the suffering of loneliness caused by my low selfsteem and sin stops me from becoming who I should be able to become. I just hope that I meet god once, maybe in a dream and have the possibility to reflect on my life to also find the missing relationship love I am searching currently.
@@frahohen I have found that reading some of the Words of Jesus, as written in the New Testament, to help a lot. I imagine that a lot of people jump start their way into spiritualism by meditating on the Teachings of Jesus Christ. Since we live in modern times, the Old Testament, is not where I suggest most people should begin their positive and love based journey because The New Testament speaks to us where we are today, in modern times, we do not live in ancient times. I don't think there's anyone who has not made mistakes, it's pretty much impossible from what I've seen. Repentance and accepting what Jesus did is The Way. The Relationship and The Holy Spirit of God wait all living human souls who sincerely seek it. Jesus can guide a human soul through the 12-step or 3-step programs - a congregation is not required, but they can be helpful sometimes also. God Bless all.
I'm wondering if it was God who she sensed (felt) or was it her 'Higher-Self' or her 'Spirit Guide'.
I do not think we are sinners we learn from our mistakes , and if you do not judge people that is the road to unconditional love.
Thank you!
Billy Graham quoted my home is in heaven I am passing through this world temporarily.
Fantastic Thank you for sharing.
Awesome podcast!
Thank you for watching!
I love stories like this, and your entire channel. My only nagging fundamental Christian, annoying voice in my head is, what if all of these are just dreams or “the demonic.” I’m always fearful to “replace” the truth with something false. Whether it’s ECT, or certain views on judgement, etc. I’m sure you know where I’m coming from! Any advice?
How do you know that the Jesus ones are real? Your fear is similar to Pascal's wager but think about it: aren't you afraid you are going to Hell because you never were a Muslim? A Jew? All that you have learned about strict religion comes from your own background and past. Are they more trustworthy than anyone else? Or did they just happen to be FIRST in your life?
I may be able to help as I have researched this and had the same concerns as you do early on. (both me and my wife)
My background: Catholic School, Baptist, Lutheran, Christian, Fight Club (men's church club), served in the church for 8+ years behind the scenes/worship program lighting. I LOVE(d) MY CHURCH 100% - (I felt I needed to include this, not to convince or push an agenda... but to let you know that I am a real person with real emotions and can familiarize deeply with this concern.)
My concern: "NDE's are medical induced, drugs, hallucinations right? / Perhaps something the body does to try and survive. "Instinct kicks in and the survival mode is to try and keep the brain and body alive so conciousness can remain in tact."
It honestly took a long time and watching NDE after NDE video (100's)... different sources, channels, books, articles, scientific evidence, Dr. Raymond Moody, anything credible that I could find. I can save you time, but if you are like I was... I trusted nothing. It's the internet right?!?! You do not know any of these people. They could be acting with the channel ops to get $$$, they could be seeking attention or 5 minutes of fame... unless I experienced the NDE myself, I would never know.
I started trying to disprove the NDE's... I found that NDE's never mention JUDGEMENT; there is a life review only. I started to quesiton the church and the bible book; I found that the book of Genesis from the bible and the enuma elish are very similar. Scarey similar. I found that all religions seem to point to the exact same God. I found fear pushing and deception behind the bible and the church. (this was a very hard one for me... not taking this lightly. Blaspheme is a huge sin in the Catholic church... however, I stand firm in my findings.) I discovered that Jesus came here not as a prophet or as god, but as a teacher of the way. He was crucified? Maybe. But not for our sins. And finally the answer came when I sat down in a quiet place with all this information in my head and meditated on it. (That was 3 months ago) Me and my wife are now living truth and seeking our higher self; learning all those things the church never taught us or told us to stay away from. The things of these NDE's and who we truly are as humans.
@@msovaz77 100%
@@balecalduin1993 Great points.
I think there are evil entities who will do anything to capture your soul. What better way to capture you by telling you that sins are not evil. Follow God's commandments x
Multiple NDE-ers have changed to or reaffirmed an anti-abortion stance, which is not the same as pro-life. They often say, as Mary Jo does, that they don't support a law prohibiting abortion, but they strongly believe that it isn't the highest will of God that a pregnancy be artificially ended. Anita Moorjani is one that comes to mind.
I thought PMH Atwater had some good advice. It's not a matter of legislation. But neither is it simply "pro-choice". She has to mediate, also consider *both* her situation, and what the soul of the child wants. Every situation is different.
@@mintakan003 These NDE-ers have said that if the child weren't meant to be here, then it wouldn't bere.
Your scenario is somewhat like a murdered taking into consideration their situation and the situation of their victim. Under no circumstances is it meant for the murderer to put themselves in the position to decide the life of another.
@@davidalbro2009 PMH Atwater, besides being a NDE researcher, is also a 3x NDE'er herself. You would have to ask her.
@@mintakan003 "Early-on in my research I asked two questions of the adult experiencers I had sessions with. I asked what they felt about suicide and abortion. The majority said no to both. No! I suspect that the reason they felt this way is that the majority were exposed to the soul during their episode. This open, expansive view and different way of thinking forever changes how they look at finite, earthplane matters. Often they strive to see through the "eyes" of the soul, afterward, rather than their own eyes. This can inspire pro-choice thinking, certainly, but more often than not, it causes experiencers to shift their point of view to things spiritual rather than earthy or personality-based. The soul's will becomes a priority when this occurs ... and the soul thrives on honesty and forgiveness. Blame is foreign to its existence." -- PMH Atwater
What an incredible woman
We are one, we are god. 💖💖🌠🌠
Great story ❤ thanks so much for sharing this ❤
I know this is a silly observation, based on the topic of conversation, but she looks so much like Jenifer Grey, after she had her nose job. Jenifer Grey is the actor who portrays "Baby" in the movie "Dirty Dancing" and a few other very popular during the 80s and 90s. Then she got a nose job and looked so unlike herself , that she lost all her work, and couldnt get anything new until years later. But this amazing woman looks so similar, I thought it was Jenifer Grey until Mary Jo started speaking!!
God bless you and thank you
Thank you for watching!
Wow, I'm so perplexed that she would have a loving encounter w God n then return talking about sin n judgment. He certainly didn't judge her or ask her to account for her sins---he simply asked you to love unconditionally.
What a question “ have you ever loved like you are loved here ?” 🤩 ❤
💜💓💓💜💓💓💜💓💓💜
💐I Mel! I Thank You for having such wonderful guests. If you haven't already, would you ask

to be on Love Covered Life?
Just wanted to add , only god can change our hearts. He is sovereign over life and death and i believe his main purpose is to draw us home to himself, unconditional love
I believe her experience but her judgement, guilt, sin, striving for perfection... I disagree with her interpretation of how to live. 😊
Completely opposite of Nanci Danison’s and hundreds of others
@@plants_and_wellness1574 Nanci Danison is amazing!!!
Perhaps its different for other people. She is catholic so she may have taken this in a dif. Way that you may take it. Either way i respect her thoughts on this. Some of us are better at self reflection and we should if we want to discover how truly loving we are or are not. Judgement is a dif story altogether. We all have a journey :) I used to think I was a good person and i suppose im still that but its not what i feel i am called to be. I believe i am called to be more. To be the best at love i can be. As i said before…its our own journey.
You seem absolutely genuine, but I am sure there is an explanation😊
Yup... 1,000's of NDE testimonies, medical research and they all say this same thing. There definately is an explanation. Might I recommend Dr. Raymond Moody? He seems to have a bunch of credible research that may help you understand.
"I was trying to impress God"....this just tickled me 😀
they don't all say the same thing do they? she says death is painful. many say quite the opposite. but the core message is always the same I think: all is love, god is love, we are part of god and so on...
wonderful, just heard the closing remarks. three things: what your thoughts are, your spirit and what you want to leave when you go. thanks for that. great. I needed that I think. prob'ly got steered to it by my angel :)
Trigger warning ⚠️ I had a soul connect to me pre birth. This is just one spiritual experience I have had but this one is probably one of the most difficult topics not many people are willing to discuss or share.
It happened to me and this is my experience to be open about or not.
I had an experience with @bor+ion.
I was in an @busive relationship when I was a teenager. Unable to just “leave” for a multitude of reasons at that time.
I had fallen pregnant for a second time with that person. But he was displaying even more disturbing erratic behavior than ever.
Our daughter was a month shy of 1 years old.
I ended up terminating the pregnancy. I was very sad the whole situation was traumatic.
I had it at home via pill instead of in clinic.
I cried and prayed for God and the soul to forgive me and how sorry I was for the situation.
I was due Nov 17th 2014.
Every year I would remember the due date and mourn.
A few years later I was out of that horrible relationship and married to my husband.
We had a son whom my daughter predicted also. She drew a picture and told me I was pregnant with her brother and I actually was indeed pregnant at the same time unknowingly!
This is the story of the soul contact.
In 2021 Nov, I had been having a deep depression due to the state of the world and other personal problems.
I was overwhelmed and forgot the dates of the days too lost in my thoughts.
On November 20th I had a dream that was so vividly real.
A little girl in a white nightgown came to me. She told me she was my daughters sister and that she played with her all the time.
She was my daughter that I had terminated.
She showed me the termination in steps on the soul level, in the spirit realm.
I saw a woman, I believe a spirit guide take a very small baby that was glowing with white light, from my stomach area.
She gently lovingly cupped the baby in her palms and walked to the spirit realm.
Where she was taken care of and waited for us on the other side.
The little girl was aged up to what she would have been if I had her here.
There wasn’t judgement or anger. She talked to me with so much love and explained everything.
She wanted me to know she didn’t go alone and we weren’t without her.
I woke up BAWLING! I apologized to her for not honoring her and forgetting the day. I know she wasn’t judging me for it but was letting me know she was there. Aware of everything.
From there on we experienced light paranormal activity in our apartment. In a couple of months, Feb, I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant!
Due again in November and I ended up having a baby girl.
I believe her soul came back. She is my infant daughter currently.
But her soul was with me the whole time and with her sister.
I gave her a name that means “New Life”.
🌈☀️💕🤍
Beautiful. Amazing.
Beautiful story and affirmed. This sounds very real to me and I believe you 100%. Thanks for sharing.
Pls add timestamps so we can skip straight to the NDE. It'd difficult to sit through the death part.
so what is purpose of life?
I was always thinking, the biggest failure you can make in life is to become a psychologist. But now as I was studying the traits of my narcissistic wife I became myself an expert of psychology in this field 🤭. Pain is always the best teacher.
just had a really crazy thing happen. almost died today on the bicycle, some guy in yellow porsche didn't yield at the stop sign and almost hit me and for a few just right before I had a vision of what would happen and then I was suddenly pushed away it was really weird, I stayed 100% calm. I wonder if this is the next time line but really now i feel I still have purpose in this life and lately Ive been at a low point, okay I am done.
When NDErs return to human life and became depressed missing home and God’s love across the veil. How does death should be viewed and the afterlife?
I missed the purpose part. Where is that?
WELCOME LOVE JOY PEACE APPRECIATE FOR ALL YOUR INTEGRITY YOUR STRONG MORALS BLESSINGS LOVE BLESSINGS XXXXXXXX
But if above is home and pure love, why are we here and why do we have to experience pain and suffer ?
time stamp please? where was her experience at??
The idea that we have free will is not consistent with unconditional love and forgiveness. I think free will is part of the illusion of this realm. We need to think this realm is real, when it is not. So we are told we have free will.
Libertarian free will is a sacred cow to people. But in reality, it's easy to see that free will does not exist. Nothing is free from causation, in one way or another. The ability to make decisions is not the same thing as free will. And people confuse the two. Free will is a pervasive myth. Even some neuroscientists know this. Like Sam Harris, for one.
Going inn and coming out makes it harder to live on earth
God is like "0" (zero) that split itself into both a -1 (minus one) and +1 (plus one) creating the illusionary duality in our earthly life, in order to experience it through us. in the same way, light needs darkness, life needs death, but the reality and the truth is that they are still a oneness. We need to recognize and realize that. We are the "0" (zero)...
DIVINE GRATITUDE
"... that brought him no comfort at all ..." :)
I think we are the consciousness within which the atomic structure emerged. How else would the atoms in our body have organized to form a human being. My view is: You alone are. The person is an illusion. The raw sense of being is the being in all. Is not the believe in God as separate from yourself the reason you experience God as you did in your NDE?
