August 06, 2018 12:30 - 23 minutes - 32.8 MB

August 03, 2018 20:22 - 23 minutes - 32.3 MB

While some NDEs have a deeply ethereal, transcendental flavor, giving the listener the sense that heaven is without senses, but that there is nothing but flowing love and intelligence for eternity, others, like Lance’s, provide a picture that is so relatable as to almost seem mortal—albeit beautiful, joyful, and blissful.

August 01, 2018 12:30 - 30 minutes - 41.7 MB

By now, we may understand that there is a grand, overarching plan to our life here on earth, but what about the individual plan each of us have for our own lives? What about our unique life purpose?

Item #58 7/31/2018 Four Short Near-Death Experiences

These short NDEs, by Rachel, Greg, Sammy, and Delona, all of which lack detail (1 and 2 out of 5 on the detail scale) have some beautifully profound contents. Another illustration that while lack of detail makes the reading less comprehensive, the experience itself is no less remarkable.

July 26, 2018 11:30 - 19 minutes - 27 MB

July 24, 2018 12:30 - 31 minutes - 42.7 MB

After sharing some very insightful thoughts by a listener, we share the experience of Brad, who both drowned as a child and was attacked as an adult. But unique to Brad’s experience, because he was approached before his second experience and asked if he would like to have the experience.

Item #52 7/23/2018 Seven Heavens

July 23, 2018 12:30 - 20 minutes - 28 MB

In his near-death experience, David experienced seven levels of heaven.  And while he didn’t give a great deal of detail (perhaps 2/5 on the detail scale), what he does say about them is… well, out of this world. Plus we share a fun little experience of a high schooler who, in a momentary scare, has …

July 20, 2018 12:30 - 47 minutes - 65.7 MB

Nanci Danison had a remarkable near-death experience.

In this …

July 19, 2018 12:30 - 35 minutes - 48.9 MB

This near-death experiencer had 2 NDEs, the second of which came after a brutal bullying. But the lessons learned from the experience pointed to nothing but love.

Item #49 7/18/2018 Prophecy in the Near-Death Experience

July 18, 2018 12:30 - 32 minutes - 44.5 MB

Ned Dougherty had a heart attack, which killed him. Gratefully, he was revived, but upon his return, not only did he talk about heaven (including heavenly beings, the temple of knowledge, and several other amazing things), but he was given many prophecies about what may happen if mankind doesn’t follow the plan laid out before …

Item #48 7/17/2018 Jonathan’s Near-Death Experience

July 17, 2018 12:30 - 20 minutes - 28 MB

You might say Jonathan learned the danger of LSD the hard way—or you could say he learned it’s danger the nicest way possible. He overdosed, and had a near-death experience. To his credit, though, his NDE jumpstarted the life cleanup that helped him stop doing drugs for good.

Item #47 7/16/2018 Christianne’s Near-Death Experiences

July 16, 2018 17:25 - 44 minutes - 61.1 MB

Christianne’s NDEs are interesting—not just because she had 5 of them, but also because of her manner of telling about them. A bit of a humorist, but not one to give a lot of detail, the account comes out as a sort of hodge-podge of otherworldly experiences. Still, I think it’s worth adding to our …

Item #46 7/13/2018 The Near-Death Experience of P. M. H. Atwater

July 13, 2018 12:30 - 24 minutes - 33.7 MB

P. M. H. Atwater is something of a legend in NDE study circles, because she’s written several books on the subject, and speaks on the subject everywhere she goes. And lest you think she’s doing it as some get-rich thing, it was the Light that told her to write three books. At the time she …

Item #45 7/12/2018 The Near-Death Experience of Dr. George Rodonaia

July 12, 2018 12:30 - 32 minutes - 44.4 MB

Dr. George Rodonaia died. If there’s any question of that fact, consider that he was in the morgue for three days, and didn’t return from death until they began to cut him open in an autopsy. But his memory of those three days is quite remarkable.
