The cosmos is not a place you go; it is something you are. On today's episode, we welcome Jack Morrigan, a seeker turned mystic whose journey from atheist to spiritual voyager shatters the boundaries of the seen and unseen. Once immersed in the logical realms of medicine and psychology, Jack found himself thrust into the ineffable through a series of profound experiencesâones that beckoned him beyond reason and into the heart of existence itself.Jack's story begins in the comfortable certainty of skepticism, where the spiritual world was little more than an echo in fantasy films. But a chance encounter with a glowing teacher on video unraveled the fabric of his reality. "I didnât know this state of peace was an option," he shares. That moment ignited a deep dive into meditation, a practice that transformed a fleeting curiosity into a relentless quest for truth. And as Jack pursued teachings from Eckhart Tolle to Ramana Maharshi, he stumbled upon an awakening that was as ecstatic as it was terrifying.Jack describes one pivotal moment, a self-induced near-death experience through intense spiritual inquiry. A lucid dream spiraled into an encounter with lightâa light that invited, yet terrified, him. "It was like dying and being reborn into golden ecstasy," he recalls. Crossing into that light shattered his atheistic lens and opened a doorway into realms he had dismissed as fantasy: seeing energy, meeting celestial beings, and even conversing with trees and dragons. Yes, dragonsâimmense cosmic entities that reminded him of our infinite interconnectedness.The awakening, however, was not without its trials. For over two years, Jack was bedridden, navigating the integration of this newfound energy. "Itâs like shining a light on everything, not just the joy but also the trauma," he explains. Isolation became his sanctuary as he reckoned with past wounds and embraced his emerging identity. Yet, from this solitude blossomed profound insights about the earth, spirit, and the dance of life. âI see her, the earth, as the supreme deity from which all life is born and to which all life returns.âAs his consciousness deepened, Jack discovered the symphony of existence within and around him. From connecting with the spirit of the earth to realizing he was, in essence, the sun itself, Jackâs story is a testament to the boundless possibilities of awakening. He emphasizes, "All those things you think are fantasyâthey are real. The cosmos is you in another form."
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe gift of silence: True peace arises when we pause the endless chatter of the mind. Jack's journey started when he first stopped thinking and discovered the luminous stillness within.Awakening isnât glamorous: A Kundalini awakening or near-death experience can be disorienting and painful. Jack's cautionary tale reminds us that preparation and grounding are essential.You are the cosmos: Understanding your inseparable connection to all life can transform how you perceive yourself and your place in the universe.Jackâs journey is a powerful reminder that life isnât something to conquer but a dance to embody. The cosmos does not end with the stars; it breathes through our every moment, every heartbeat. As Jack so poignantly says, "The purpose of life is to be what it isâa timeless dance of infinite possibilities."

The journey of life is often unpredictable, but few tales are as profound and transformative as the one shared by Tricia Barker. On today's episode, we delve into her extraordinary near-death experience (NDE), which began with a catastrophic car accident during her senior year of college. What transpired in the moments after her surgery is not just a story of survival, but a deep dive into the nature of the soul, the essence of love, and the limitless realms of consciousness.In the midst of severe physical trauma and a flatlined monitor, Tricia Barker found herself leaving her body, only to be enveloped by a profound sense of peace. She describes observing the operating room with clarity and detachment, marveling at the 360-degree vision and the light beings that worked alongside the medical team. "Love is all that matters," she recalls as one of the many truths revealed to her during this transcendent experience, a lesson that would shape her life moving forward.During her time outside the body, Tricia encountered what she refers to as "angels" or light beings who communicated telepathically. These beings, immense and radiant, facilitated healing through the surgeons. This divine collaboration underscored her realization of interconnectedness, love, and the extraordinary intelligence of the spiritual realms. She also experienced a life review, where she was lovingly shown the moments where she could have been more kind or present in her relationshipsâa humbling yet transformative experience.As her soul journeyed further, Tricia found herself amidst an idyllic realm she describes as "heaven." Here, she reconnected with her grandfather, who appeared youthful and vibrant. In this space, all elements of nature, people, and spirit existed in a perfect state, unmarred by decay or imperfection. Yet even in this blissful state, she was called to look back toward Earth and reminded of her purpose: to guide others from fear into the light, and to live as an example of the boundless love she had experienced.One of the most striking elements of Tricia's NDE was the vivid and direct communication from a higher power. She was urged to be like a childâopen to wonder, forgiving, and joyful. This directive to embrace simplicity and kindness resonated deeply, particularly as she was tasked with sharing her newfound wisdom with the world. Despite her initial resistance to becoming a teacher, this role became central to her life's mission.Returning to her body was far from easy. Tricia describes feeling disconnected, as if her consciousness filled the entire room rather than being confined to her physical form. Over time, however, she began to integrate the profound insights from her NDE into her daily life. She now dedicates herself to helping others discover their light, often drawing on guidance from ancestors, angels, and her own profound understanding of the human spirit.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Love is the Ultimate Truth: Tricia's NDE reaffirmed that love is the most significant force in the universe, shaping our experiences both in this life and beyond.Connection is Key: Whether with angels, ancestors, or the people around us, fostering deep connections enriches our journey and reveals the divine within all.Fear vs. Light: We are constantly called to choose between fear and the light of spirit. Tricia's story is a testament to the transformative power of stepping into the light.In reflecting on Tricia Barker's remarkable experience, one cannot help but feel inspired to live more authentically, to love without reservation, and to embrace the profound mysteries that life has to offer. Her story is not merely a recounting of events but an invitation to explore the spiritual truths that reside within each of us.

Life often has a peculiar way of orchestrating a grand unraveling before offering the gift of renewal. On todayâs episode, we welcome Alysa Rushton, a former corporate professional turned spiritual teacher whose journey to the brink of death and back unlocked profound insights into life, consciousness, and the universe itself.Before her near-death experience, Alysa lived what many might consider the quintessential modern life: climbing the corporate ladder, surrounded by the hum of fluorescent lights, and the subtle desperation of routine. But beneath the surface, her body was in turmoil. A cascade of autoimmune disorders, relentless medical treatments, and a laundry list of medications led her to a tipping point. As Alysa recalls, âI thought I was dying, and I had no idea the medicine was killing me.âHer body finally succumbed one fateful night, overdosing on a mix of prescribed drugs. But while her physical form was lifeless, Alysaâs consciousness soared into realms she describes as âGod consciousness.â It was there, in the vast expanse of infinite awareness, that she experienced a reality far beyond our physical plane. Imagine peering into the mechanisms of the cosmos, understanding the sacred dance of geometry and light, all while feeling enveloped in a love so profound it defies human comprehension. âIt was the most physical thing Iâve ever done without a body,â Alysa explains, painting a picture of bliss that exists beyond the constraints of earthly form.Alysaâs journey wasnât simply an ethereal escape. After exploring the universe and experiencing a healing realm for souls like hers, she faced a pivotal choice. Would she remain in the comfort of this divine expanse, or return to her body and undertake the grueling work of transformation? Choosing life meant embracing a reality she knew would be fraught with hardship but also abundant in growth. When she reentered her body, she was slammed back with a force so visceral it shattered her, both literally and figuratively. Yet, as Alysa reminds us, âThe universe proves your beliefs right, whether you like it or not.âThe years following her return were nothing short of alchemical. Alysa dismantled the patterns that had once defined her, piecing together a new life rooted in responsibility and the reclamation of her divine power. She calls this âbecoming the divine creator of your life,â a process of shifting consciousness from victimhood to mastery. Her teachings remind us that we hold the keys to our transformation and that by aligning with higher vibrations, we can alter even the bleakest outcomes.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Responsibility Transforms Reality: Alysa emphasizes the need to own your life fully, as true healing begins when blame dissolves, and accountability takes its place.God Consciousness is Within: The divine isnât separate but seeks to express itself through us. Alysa's experience shows how we can embody this essence to shape our lives.The Universe Reflects Belief: What you believe manifests repeatedly. By shifting your internal narrative, you invite external transformation.Alysaâs story is more than a tale of survival; itâs a masterclass in transcendence. Her journey teaches us that even in the face of despair, there is the potential for rebirth. Itâs a call to listen deeply, to align with the sacred rhythms of existence, and to recognize the divinity flowing through every atom of our being.

In this episode, we have the honor of welcoming Dr. Yvonne Kason, a pioneer in the field of near-death experiences (NDEs) and spiritually transformative events. Her life took a profound turn during a medevac mission in Northern Ontario, Canada, when a series of near-catastrophic events led to her first near-death experience. This journey into the unknown transformed her understanding of life, death, and the boundless love of the divine.Dr. Kason begins by sharing the gripping details of her life as a medical resident, recounting a harrowing flight where mechanical failures left her and her companions hurtling toward an icy Canadian lake. What began as sheer terror quickly evolved into a profound spiritual awakening as she heard a calm, masculine voice whisper, "Be still and know that I am God. I am with you now and always." The panic dissolved into peace, setting the stage for her mystical encounter with the higher power she describes as an infinite force of love and intelligence.Amid the chaos of the plane crash, she experienced an otherworldly detachment. Her consciousness split: one part was tethered to her body, struggling for survival, while another soared into a luminous realm of divine light. This ethereal state revealed profound truths about the nature of existence, including the eternal continuity of the soul. Dr. Kason describes this force as ânot the judgmental deity I was taught about, but an infinitely loving intelligence interpenetrating all reality.âThe ordeal didnât end with her spiritual insights. As the plane sank into icy waters, she faced the raw, physical challenge of survival. Guided once again by the inner voice, she swam toward safety despite every instinct and training warning her otherwise. Her eventual rescue, orchestrated through a series of miraculous coincidences, felt to her like a divine intervention, as if the universe itself conspired to ensure her survival.Her return to earthly life was no less transformative. This experience ignited within her a profound love and compassion that overflowed into her daily interactions. She reconciled with her estranged father, saying, âThe things that once bothered me didnât matter anymore. What mattered was love.â Her journey wasnât just about surviving a crash; it was about living with newfound purpose, deeply connected to the divine and its guidance.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The Eternal Nature of the Soul: Death is not an end but a transition, a continuation of the journey of the soul in alignment with divine love and intelligence.Guidance from Within: Trust the whispers of your inner voice, as it often holds the wisdom to guide you through lifeâs storms.Love as the Ultimate Purpose: The most meaningful transformations come from embracing love and forgiveness, both for ourselves and others.Dr. Kasonâs story is a profound reminder that even in moments of extreme fear, there is a higher power gently guiding us toward peace and understanding. Her insights illuminate the path for all who seek a deeper connection with the divine and a life infused with purpose and compassion.

On today's episode, we welcome David Bennett, a man whose life took a dramatic turn in the icy waters of the Pacific Ocean. Once the chief engineer aboard a research vessel, David's near-death experience has shaped his journey into profound spiritual insight and an inspiring reconnection with the divine.In 1983, David found himself in the midst of a harrowing storm off the California coast. His expertise with underwater vehicles and maritime engineering gave him confidence in most situations, but fate had other plans. When a colossal wave upended his boat and plunged him into the frigid sea, he encountered something far greater than the icy grip of the ocean. In what he described as a peaceful void, he felt himself enveloped in waves of love and a light that communicated a profound truth: this was not his time, and he had a purpose yet to fulfill.In his vivid recollection, David described meeting "soul family"âbeings of light who welcomed him home with warmth and unconditional love. They guided him through a life review, where every action, every ripple of his existence, was displayed not only from his perspective but also through the eyes of those he had interacted with. âWhen I acted from a place of love, those moments created the biggest ripples,â he shared, marveling at how the simplest acts of kindness carried the greatest weight in the tapestry of his life.Yet, Davidâs experience was not merely about reflection; it was a call to action. The light urged him to return, imbuing him with a newfound sense of purpose. This sense of mission was not about accolades or achievements, but about authenticity, love, and the interconnectedness of all beings. âLiving a fulfilled life is about being true to yourself, connecting with your higher nature, and bringing that into every interaction,â he explained with clarity and depth.What makes Davidâs story extraordinary is not just the near-death experience itself, but the wisdom it imparted and how it has transformed his life. From understanding the divine as omnipresentââin the trees, the dew, the grass, and within you and meââto embracing the shared purpose we all carry, David embodies the lessons he learned in that luminous realm.As he relived his journey back to his battered body, tethered by fragments of his Zodiac boat, Davidâs determination to honor the love he experienced became a beacon for others. His tale is one of resilience, courage, and the enduring truth that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone.

On today's episode, we welcome Dr. Rod Chelberg, a man whose experiences in life have transcended the ordinary and ventured into the mystical realms of divine encounters and healing. His journey began in childhood when a medical crisis opened a gateway into a world where light and love flowed freely, offering him insights and spiritual gifts that would shape his path as both a physician and a soul seeking greater truths.In a profoundly moving childhood near-death experience, Dr. Chelberg, at just seven years old, found himself floating towards a brilliant white light after a life-threatening allergic reaction. The fear, pain, and confusion of dying melted away, replaced by an overwhelming peace and love. As he drew nearer to this light, he knew instinctively that he was home. This encounter planted seeds of spiritual awareness deep within him, although the full manifestation of these gifts would not occur until much later in life.Dr. Chelberg shares that through this mystical experience, he was endowed with three significant gifts: the ability to see peopleâs auras and the divine energy in their hearts, the power to leave his body and travel vast distances, and the capacity to connect deeply with the Divine through meditation. These gifts would later influence both his medical practice and his personal evolution as he navigated the physical and spiritual dimensions. He recalls a moment when, while working as an emergency room physician, a divine voice saved a womanâs life by diagnosing a condition that no one else could have known about. âThe voice was as clear as you and I speaking right now, and very forceful,â he explains. Trusting this voice became a vital part of his journey.As Dr. Chelberg grew into his gifts, he discovered that they were not only tools for healing others but also for healing himself. Having endured multiple life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, he learned to trust his connection with the Divine. He refused to accept the conventional prognosis that medical science offered, instead allowing his faith and inner knowing to guide his healing. "I refused to give power over to the reality of these illnesses. God did not create the cancer; stress did," he affirms with a clarity that reflects years of spiritual development.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Divine Guidance is Always Present: Dr. Chelberg teaches that the divine voice he hears is always available, but it requires deep trust and openness to listen. This guidance has been central to saving lives and navigating his own spiritual path.We Are Co-Creators of Our Health: Dr. Chelbergâs experiences reveal that we can take an active role in our healing by connecting to the divine energy within us. He says, "I don't heal diseases, but I can help you understand that you're not a victim and facilitate the flow of divine light to change your beliefs and circumstances."Service to Others is a Path to Divine Love: Throughout his life, Dr. Chelberg has found that being of serviceâwhether to patients, friends, or strangersâcreates a circle of divine love. "It fills me up. That's a good life," he says, emphasizing the power of giving and gratitude as expressions of spiritual purpose.In this profound conversation, we learn that Dr. Rod Chelberg has not only embraced his role as a physician but also as a conduit of divine love and healing. His message is clear: when we open our hearts to the infinite, we are capable of extraordinary things. Whether we are healing from illness, mending relationships, or simply trying to understand our place in the universe, the divine light is always present to guide us.

On today's episode, we welcome Stephanie Kraft, a healer whose profound spiritual journey began with a shattering childhood event. In her early years, Stephanie encountered tragedy when her close friend was murdered. This traumatic experience caused her to lose faith in a higher power, creating a deep void in her life. However, an unexpected psychic reading years later awakened her to a world beyond her comprehension, initiating her spiritual awakening and setting her on the path of a healer.Stephanie's story is one of resilience and discovery. Her journey began with skepticism; she had no belief in psychic readings or the spiritual realm. But when a friend convinced her to seek a reading, everything changed. The psychic reading "busted me wide open," Stephanie recalls, as the psychic revealed things he couldn't have possibly known. That reading was a catalyst, opening Stephanie to the vast, unseen dimensions of the universe. "It resonated in my soul and in my heart," she says, describing the first stirrings of her awakening.After that reading, the floodgates of Stephanie's spiritual life burst open. She began experiencing the universe through her third eye, seeing and feeling things she never thought possible. As she explains it, "I was seeing the entire universe in my third eye, and it was there, in front of me." These visions were just the beginning of what would become a lifelong relationship with the unseen. Not only did this experience transform her perspective on life, but it also set the stage for what was to comeâan awakening not only for herself but for those around her.Stephanie's connection to the spiritual world deepened further when her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through this painful experience, she describes an even greater spiritual revelation. One night, she had a profound encounter with her father's soul, where old wounds of emotional neglect were healed. The forgiveness and love that flowed between them were transformative, leading to five months of shared spiritual growth before his passing. âWhat we have between us is pure, unconditional love,â Stephanie reflects, showing how even in death, love and healing transcend physical existence.But it wasn't just her father who played a role in her spiritual development. Stephanie also recounts a remarkable interaction with her motherâs higher self. Despite a tumultuous relationship, which led to them going no-contact for 14 years, Stephanie experienced a moment of divine connection where her motherâs soul conveyed a message of love and empowerment. It was in that moment she realized the lessons her mother had unconsciously taught herâhow to stand in her power and create boundaries.Another extraordinary aspect of Stephanie's journey involves a profound encounter with the spirit of Jesus. For two weeks, she felt his essence embodied within her, radiating love and wisdom. This was not the result of religious upbringingâshe had noneâbut rather a spiritual connection so deep and pure that it shook her to her core. Through this experience, Stephanie discovered that love, forgiveness, and healing are not limited to any one tradition or belief system; they are universal truths.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Healing often comes through unexpected sources. Stephanieâs spiritual awakening began with a psychic reading she initially doubted, showing how the universe works in mysterious ways to guide us toward healing.Unconditional love transcends life and death. Her profound experience with her fatherâs soul illustrates the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds, reminding us that the soulâs journey continues beyond this life.Every soul has its unique journey and purpose. Stephanieâs relationship with her mother and the messages from her higher self highlight the lessons weâre meant to learn from even the most difficult relationships.As Stephanieâs journey shows us, the spiritual path is not a straight line, nor is it always easy. It is filled with challenges, lessons, and incredible moments of awakening. Her story is a testament to the power of transformation, healing, and the eternal nature of love. We are all connected to something greater than ourselves, and, like Stephanie, we each have the potential to awaken to this truth when the time is right.

On todayâs episode, we welcome Nancy Rynes, an inspiring voice whose journey is a testament to the transformative power of near-death experiences. With a background rooted in science and skepticism, Nancyâs life was radically altered in 2014, when a biking accident sent her on an unexpected detour into the mysteries of life beyond the physical. What started as an ordinary ride through the Colorado hills became a moment that forever changed her perspective. She recounts this experience with vivid detail, sharing how a texting driver altered the course of her life, leading her to encounter a profound spiritual awakening.As Nancy explains, the accident wasnât just a physical eventâit was a bridge to a deeper understanding of consciousness. "There was a part of my consciousness that wasnât in my body anymore," she recalls, highlighting the moment she realized that the mind and soul transcend the limits of the brain. In that instant, she began to view life from both her human perspective, filled with fear and survival instincts, and a higher consciousness that existed beyond her body, guiding her with peace and love. This dual perspective opened a doorway to an entirely new understanding of life, death, and the space in between.Through her near-death experience, Nancy was given the chance to learn from what she describes as a glowing figure who welcomed her on the other side. This ethereal teacher imparted profound wisdom about love, compassion, and living a life rooted in kindness. She guided Nancy to review her past actions, allowing her to feel not only her own emotions but also the emotions of those she had interacted with. This life review was transformative, reminding her of the deep interconnection between all beings and how our words and actions ripple through the lives of others.Nancyâs journey in the afterlife wasnât just about learning from the pastâit was also about embracing the future. Her guide helped her understand that her mission was to return to Earth and spread the teachings of love and gratitude. Though reluctant at first, the wisdom she gained in this realm of pure love convinced her that she had more to do in this life. Her experience serves as a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, there is a higher purpose waiting to unfold, if we allow ourselves to be open to it.Her time in this higher realm taught her the importance of living in alignment with love. "Living a love-based life is the key," she states, encouraging others to let go of fear and embrace the joy and creative energy that flows from love. Nancyâs message is one of empowermentâreminding us that the essence of life is found not in material pursuits or societal achievements, but in the simple act of loving one another and living with gratitude.In her return to the physical world, Nancy faced the challenge of integrating these lessons into her everyday life. She admits that it wasnât easy, but with the support of her close friends and family, she found a way to live from a place of love and compassion. Her message is simple yet profound: if we can connect with our higher selves and act from a place of love, we can transform not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The soul transcends the physical body. Nancyâs experience challenges the scientific notion that consciousness is purely brain-based, suggesting that there is a higher part of ourselves guiding us even beyond death.Life is about learning and love. Her near-death journey highlights the importance of living a love-based life and using every moment as an opportunity to grow in compassion and kindness.We are all interconnected. Her life review showed her the profound impact her actions had on others, reminding us that everything we do affects the people around us in ways we may not realize.In this profound conversation, Nancy Rynes leaves us with a powerful reminder: the greatest lesson we can learn in this life is how to love fully and live in alignment with that love. Her story is not just one of survival but of thriving in a world that often overlooks the spiritual truths we are here to embody.

In today's profound conversation, we are graced with the presence of Bill Tortorella, a man who has touched the light beyond life itself. His story is a journey through the unseen, the mystical, and the deeply personal, yet universally human. Growing up in Brooklyn, Bill lived a vibrant life surrounded by baseball legends and the bustling energy of a city in its prime. But what makes Bill's story truly remarkable is the moment his life came to a sudden halt, only for him to step into an extraordinary experience of the afterlife.As Bill recounts, it was in Tucson, Arizona, at a gem and mineral show in 1994 when his world changed forever. Struck down by a severe illness that left him gasping for air, he found himself in a situation far beyond his control. Yet, it was in the depths of this physical suffering that he discovered the beauty and boundless love of the spiritual realm. He describes the moment his soul left his body, hovering above it in a brilliant green mistâa color so vibrant it defies earthly comprehension. "It was like the color of life itself," Bill said, his voice filled with awe as he recalls that defining moment.This out-of-body experience led him into a glowing tunnel, embraced by colors and feelings that transcended any love he'd ever known. As Bill moved through the tunnel, he realized he was being guided, cradled like an infant in the arms of the universe. The tunnel was no ordinary passage but a gateway to homeâa home he had long forgotten but instantly recognized. "I'm home. Thank God I'm home," he repeated as the love around him intensified with every moment.One of the most captivating elements of Bill's journey was the appearance of his guide, Antonia. This angelic presence, one of three guardians, had been with him all along. Through telepathic communication, Antonia revealed her purpose: to escort him safely into the light. As he stood in this illuminated realm, Bill felt the undeniable presence of family and friendsâsouls who had passed but now gathered to welcome him. Among them was his beloved brother Peter, whose familiar voice brought overwhelming comfort and joy.Bill's life review, a pivotal part of his experience, unfolded before him like a vivid movie reel. It was as though he could see and feel every good deed he'd ever done, not through his eyes but through the hearts of those he had touched. It was a reminder that in the grand scheme of things, love and kindness are what truly matter.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The soul's journey transcends the body: Bill's experience of leaving his body through his eyes in a glowing green mist reminds us that the physical is only a temporary vessel for the spirit.Love is the ultimate force of the universe: In the tunnel, Bill felt a love so powerful and all-encompassing that it reshaped his understanding of existence.Guides and guardians are always with us: Billâs revelation that he had three spiritual guides, including the angel Antonia, highlights the unseen support we all have, whether we are aware of it or not.In the end, Billâs journey was not just about seeing the other side but about the profound realizations he brought back. His message is one of hope, love, and the understanding that life is a gift, but so is the return to the light from which we came. As Bill so beautifully puts it, âWe are all beings of light,â and our time on Earth is but a moment in the grand symphony of existence.

On today's episode, we welcome Rosemary Thornton, a resilient spirit whose near-death experience transformed her perspective on life, healing, and divine love. In this profound conversation, Rosemary opens the door to her journey through unimaginable grief and loss, only to find herself catapulted into a spiritual realm of peace and wholeness.Rosemaryâs story begins with tragedy. After ten years of what she believed was a blissful marriage, her husband ended his own life, leaving her devastated and unmoored. She recalls how she masked her pain, pretending to move forward while silently battling a profound sense of loss. It wasnât until she was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer and endured a series of medical mishaps that she truly reached the brink, both physically and emotionally. As she recounts, âI said, âGod, heal me or let me go,ââ and that simple prayer set the stage for a journey far beyond this world.What followed was a medical emergency that led Rosemary to an otherworldly experience, one she vividly describes with a sense of awe and peace. After a surgery gone wrong, she found herself floating in a vast, comforting darkness, free from fear and physical pain. In this spiritual realm, she encountered a divine presence, a being she describes as both massive and loving. The message she received was profound yet simple: âYou are the image and likeness; I am the original.âThe most striking aspect of Rosemaryâs experience was not fear or resistance to leaving the earthly plane, but the overwhelming sense of being welcomed home. As she floated further into this divine space, she felt the presence of spiritual beingsâher "tribe"âcelebrating her return. It was as though the burdens she carried through life had been stripped away, leaving behind only her true essence: peace, love, and humor. "I realized the fear, anxiety, and worries were left on that gurney. What went with me was who I really am,â she reflects, her voice filled with wonder and relief.But the spiritual journey didnât end there. Rosemary found herself in a white room, facing a closed doorâa symbol, perhaps, of her next phase. She remembers asking the divine being with her, âIs this the divine will for my life?â The answer was not what she expected: âNo, but whatever you decide, you go with all Godâs blessings and mercy.â This moment of choice encapsulates a profound spiritual truth: we are never alone in our decisions. Whether we move forward or return, we are always held in divine love.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Healing Goes Beyond the Physical: Rosemaryâs near-death experience wasnât just about overcoming cancer; it was about restoring her soul. âMy soul got rebooted,â she says. True healing, as she learned, is about reconnecting with our spiritual essence.We Are Never Truly Alone: In the darkest moments, both in life and in death, we are surrounded by spiritual beings who welcome us home and support our journey. Rosemaryâs tribe of angels affirmed this deep truth: âWelcome home, dearie.âOur Decisions Are Guided by Love: Even in moments of great uncertainty, we are guided by divine love. Whether we take the long way or the direct path, we are always aligned with the will of God, surrounded by grace and mercy.In this conversation, Rosemary Thornton reminds us that life and death are not opposing forces but parts of a grander journey. Her experience offers solace to those facing grief, loss, or illness, and her message is clear: we are loved, we are guided, and we are always whole in the eyes of the divine.

On today's episode, we welcome Anoop Kumar, a man whose journey through the realms of consciousness has led him to profound insights that bridge the gap between medicine and spirituality. Born into a family immersed in the ancient wisdom of Vedanta and Advaita philosophy, his life has always been a quest for understanding the nature of reality, even before he formally realized it. In medical school, Anoop experienced what can only be described as a mystical explosion of awareness, a moment so potent it dissolved the world around him, leaving nothing but the brilliance of the sun and an experience of unity that would forever change his understanding of life.Anoop shares his upbringing in a household steeped in spiritual practices, learning from a young age to question the nature of mind, reality, and existence. His curiosity set the foundation for an internal restlessness that would follow him into adulthood. Despite excelling in his studies and eventually pursuing a career as an emergency doctor, he was unsatisfied with the narrow, objective lens through which traditional medicine viewed the human being. The world, to him, appeared fragmented, leaving out the most critical pieceâthe lens through which we, as individuals, perceive reality.His spiritual awakening came unexpectedly. One evening, sitting in his bedroom, reading philosophy unrelated to his medical work, Anoop was thrust into an overwhelming experience of non-dual awareness. He describes it as being "part of the sun," an experience that obliterated the boundaries between himself and the universe, an experience so all-encompassing that time ceased to exist. "I remember feeling like I had one foot beyond and one foot still here," Anoop recounts, "and just as I was about to take the step beyond, this thought aroseââitâs not yet time.â" This message anchored him back into the physical world, where he was suddenly aware that reality was not as it appeared. The solidity of objects, the space between thingsâall of it was light, vibrating and shifting, seen with new eyes.Anoopâs return to everyday consciousness was not a simple one. He spent the following years integrating what he had experienced, reconciling his role as an ER doctor with the immense clarity that had descended upon him. His understanding of the human body, the emergency conditions he treated, and the nature of disease all took on new meaning. "The biggest emergency," he explains, "is that weâve forgotten who we are." For Anoop, heart attacks, strokes, and all the physical ailments he treated were simply downstream effects of this more profound existential amnesia. He began to understand his role not just as a doctor who heals the body, but as a guide who speaks to the soulâs need to remember its true nature.Despite the transformative nature of his experience, Anoop didnât share it with anyone for years. In part, he had learned that these mystical encounters, while impactful, should not be idolized or overemphasized. He was encouraged to integrate them into his life naturally, to continue his journey without clinging to the experience itself. When he finally did begin to speak publicly, it wasnât for validation but to help others begin their own journey of discovery. As he eloquently states, "I started to realize, oh, okay, I need to start telling my story. If I donât, how will anyone know whatâs possible?"
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Reality is light, vibrating and shifting. What we perceive as solid objects or empty space are just different densities of the same light, interwoven into a seamless whole.The greatest emergency is forgetting who we are. All our suffering and ailments stem from this fundamental disconnection from our true essence.Mystical experiences are not the end, but the beginning of a deeper integration. What matters is not just the experience itself, but how we live that truth in the rest of our lives.In this profound conversation, Anoop Kumar invites us to question the very fabric of our existence. His journey, one that spans both the scientific and the spiritual, serves as a reminder that the true nature of reality is far more interconnected than we imagine. As boundaries dissolve, we are left with a clearer understanding that everythingâour bodies, our minds, and the universe itselfâis intimately intertwined in ways that transcend the ordinary.

On todayâs episode, we welcome a collection of extraordinary voices, each sharing their deeply personal and transformative near-death experiences (NDEs). These stories invite us to explore realms beyond the physical, where the soul transcends and encounters truths wrapped in love, light, and divine wisdom. Through their eyes, we are taken into heavenly dimensions, guided by spiritual beings, and even embraced by divine figures. The experiences of our guests today challenge our deepest understandings of life, death, and the very essence of who we are.John J. Davis begins his story with a life-altering experience during a routine surgery at the age of 21. Raised in Catholicism, John struggled with the concept of fearing God. After a near-death experience caused by an allergic reaction to anesthesia, he found himself in a marble temple-like building, guided by a spiritual presence. His guide, whom he calls Alan, walked him through a magnificent orientation center for souls, bypassing the typical âtunnel and lightâ imagery of many NDEs. His message to all of us? "You must tell them there is no death." Johnâs experience not only reshaped his views on religion but gave him a profound understanding that life on Earth is merely a step in our soulâs eternal journey.Next, we hear from Vincent Tolman, who, after a toxic overdose, was clinically dead for over an hour. During this time, Vincent found himself watching the scene from above, able to feel the emotions and hear the thoughts of those around him. His experience defied all medical explanations, as a rookie medic, against strict protocols, brought him back to life. Vincent shares that it wasnât just his return to his body that was miraculous, but the overwhelming sense of divine love he felt while on the other side. As he profoundly states, "Take the best love that you can have as a human being, the most unconditional, perfect love, and times that by eonsâthatâs still just an eyelash to God's love."Nanci L. Danison shares a detailed account of her journey after an anaphylactic reaction during a medical procedure. Upon leaving her body, she was enveloped in a loving light, where she received profound downloads of knowledge about the universe, life, and spirituality. In the afterlife, knowledge flows effortlessly: âYou donât learn things there. You simply know them.â These instantaneous "knowings" brought Nanci peace, understanding, and a new perspective on the purpose of life, teaching her that our human experiences are but a fraction of our eternal existence.And then thereâs Betty Eadie, who offers one of the most heartwarming and profound stories of all. Bettyâs NDE occurred after hemorrhaging during a surgery at the age of 31. She describes how three men in brown robes appeared by her hospital bed, informing her that she had died prematurely. Her journey took her through a dark tunnel, only to be greeted by a brilliant light that led her into the arms of Jesus. In that sacred moment, she understood that her life had been carefully chosen by her soul to bring the greatest lessons of growth. Bettyâs encounter with Jesus was filled with humor and love. As she recounts, âHe said, âYou chose this life,â and I realized that every challenge, every hardship, was something my soul had selected for its growth.â
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Death is not the end but the beginning of a new stage of consciousness where love and learning continue beyond this life.The most powerful force in the universe is divine, unconditional love, far surpassing anything we experience on Earth.Every soul has a unique mission in life, and the challenges we face are opportunities for growth, chosen by our higher selves.In this profound conversation, we are invited to let go of our fears about death and embrace the eternal journey of our soul. Through the experiences of John J. Davis, Vincent Tolman, Nanci L. Danison, and Betty Eadie, we are given glimpses into a reality far more beautiful and loving than we could ever imagine. Their stories remind us that life is sacred, love is eternal, and death is merely a doorway into the light.

On today's episode, we welcome the remarkable Sheila Gillette, a woman whose life was forever changed by a near-death experience that set her on a path of profound spiritual discovery. Imagine a young mother of three, suddenly confronting the edge of life and death, asking for nothing but a chance to liveâto continue raising her children. And then, in the quiet of that life-altering moment, sheâs met by the presence of a divine being, none other than Jesus himself. The radiant warmth of his smile wasnât just a gestureâit was a healing touch, one that transformed Sheila's life forever.In this profound conversation, Sheila shares her near-death experience, which occurred after giving birth. She describes the sensation of suffocation, as if an elephant sat upon her chest, and the way the room seemed to brighten in her darkest moment. As she looked towards the light, she was greeted by Jesus, who delivered a simple yet profound message: âRemember, my child. You are loved.â It was this message that sparked a miraculous recovery, one that even doctors couldn't explain.From that moment on, Sheila's world was transformed. She began to experience a series of psychic phenomenaâmessages, visions, and an awakening to the spiritual realm that she had never known before. "I started having all kinds of psychic phenomena happening to me, externally and internally. I could hear messages just like I heard Jesusâs voice that day," she shares, offering a glimpse into the extraordinary experiences that have shaped her journey.Sheilaâs early encounters with divine voices and angelic presences were both a blessing and a burden. Living in a time when such things were seldom spoken of, she felt isolated, unable to share these incredible experiences with those around her. Yet, over time, as she embraced the role she had been given, her abilities flourished. People began to find herâthose seeking answers, guidance, and healing. With each encounter, Sheila realized that she had been given a gift not just for herself, but for others. She was, as she says, âa student of spirit,â led by angelic teachers and the divine guidance she had asked for in her moment of need.Despite the fear and uncertainty that surrounded her experiences, Sheila continued to trust in the messages she was receiving. "The angels kept teaching me. They were my mentors." Her story is one of resilience, faith, and an unwavering commitment to a path that few would have the courage to follow. And while her journey might have begun with fear, it is now defined by the deep connection she feels with the spiritual realm.

On todayâs episode, we are gifted with the incredible story of Brian Hoyland, a man who has walked through unimaginable trials, only to emerge with profound spiritual wisdom. Brian Hoyland' journey is nothing short of remarkable, spanning from military service to near-death experiences and ultimately, a transformational encounter with the divine. As he recounts his extraordinary passage through life and death, the conversation takes us on a ride through love, hardship, and spiritual awakening that will leave you pondering the true nature of existence.From his early years in the military, Brian was drawn by a deep desire to protect and serve. He worked as a military police officer, driven by a love for his country and its people. However, his service came at a cost. Exposure to toxic chemicals led to a slow decline in his health, with autoimmune diseases gradually eating away at his organs, particularly his heart. Despite his declining health, he remained active, working as a counselor for veterans and later with inmates, always searching for ways to help others.In August 2016, he had his first heart failure event, and the following January, he died. What followed was not the end, but a beginning of an entirely different reality. As he recounts, âI felt my soul burst forth from my body, and I found myself in a dark voidâa place without light or planets, but filled with a palpable, overwhelming love." This void, vast and silent, was a place of profound peace, yet it was not the final destination. Turning toward an immense light, Brian Hoyland experienced a moment that felt like returning home, immersed in a love more powerful than anything he had ever known.The conversation with Brian Hoyland takes a deeper dive into his encounter with the divine light, which he describes as âbrighter than the sunâ and infinite in its expanse. The light, he knew, was God, not through any audible words but by a deep, inner knowing. It was here that he felt fully seen, fully loved, not for the persona he had carried throughout life, but for the essence of who he truly was. This love was regenerating, continuously growing and never depletingâa love that felt eternal.As he stepped into the light, Brian recalls a sense of complete surrender to Godâs will. "I was completely submissive to God, not because He demanded it, but because His love made me want to give everything in return." His encounter with the divine wasn't just a moment of personal redemption; it was a moment of universal connection. In the divine presence, he was surrounded by other beings of light, each reflecting Godâs infinite love. Among them, he recognized Jesus, and though their communication was beyond words, the depth of their exchange was unmistakable.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Love is the foundation of everything. Brian learned that the love we experience here on Earth is but a shadow of the infinite love that awaits us in the divine presence. âGod is love, and if I can return love by giving love here on Earth, then thatâs what Iâm going to do.âChallenges are spiritual workouts. Just as our muscles grow through resistance, our souls grow through the challenges we face. Brian emphasized, âOur soul has to be tested, has to have a workout, and we are that workout for each other.âLife is about giving preference to others. By allowing others to take precedence, we enhance relationships and grow spiritually. âIf we donât experience suffering for others, we donât really know how to love them deeply.âThe story of Brian Hoyland reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone. The divine light is always present, waiting to embrace us with a love that is infinite and eternal. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges can lead to our deepest spiritual growth, and that love, in its purest form, is the essence of life and the universe itself.

On todayâs episode, we welcome Mariko Frederick, a spiritual teacher and healer who shares the extraordinary experience of crossing the threshold between life and death, and what she learned from it. Her story unfolds as one of transformation and awakening, beginning with a life that seemed to check all the boxes of success: a thriving career in Chinese medicine, a close-knit friend group, and a newly married life filled with promise. But as Mariko recounts, lifeâs script dramatically shifted when she experienced a near-death encounter that would change everything.Marikoâs near-death experience began unexpectedly after visiting a practitioner who was not licensed, leading to a life-threatening injury. What followed was a profound journey beyond the veil of this world. As Mariko lay feeling her life force slip away, she was met with a decision. "I think I'll just let it fall," she recalls, referring to the weight on her chest that felt like iron. In that moment, she died. But rather than death, she was greeted by a presenceâa radiant light, warmer than the sun, a light that seemed so familiar, as if it had always been there.Floating above her body, she witnessed her husband in the kitchen, brewing a medicinal tea, unaware of the spiritual shift that was taking place. Mariko describes feeling a deep love for him, knowing he would be okay even if she were no longer by his side. In that space beyond, she also experienced a life review, seeing not only her life as it was but as it could have been had she fully lived out her soulâs purpose. The review began with a moment from childhood, where she hurt another child intentionally. "I learned we are never to hurt someone on purpose," she shares, and that realization has stayed with her.In her life review, Mariko was guided through moments where she was "soul-aligned" versus when she was "ego-aligned." These moments, she explains, were not about judgment but about understanding the energy we emit when we live in harmony with our true nature versus when we act out of fear or insecurity. Her guides, benevolent beings of pure love, supported her through this process, showering her with love so intense it would have overwhelmed a human body. The message she took from this experience was clear: it was not her time to die; she had more work to do on Earth.The depth of Marikoâs spiritual awakening came with an understanding of her true nature. In that moment of realization, she felt herself dissolve into the oneness of all existence. âI was never Mariko. I was never a rock climber. I was never anything I thought I was,â she says. âI am love, I am joy, I am peace. This is who I am.â The simplicity and clarity of this truth resonated with her, not as an intellectual understanding but as a felt experience of universal connection.After being told by her guides that she had to return to help people, Mariko came back into her body with a new sense of purpose. Her path forward was not to follow conventional routes of medicine but to honor the guidance she received. Her story is one of a soul remembering its divine mission and living in alignment with that truth. Mariko's journey is not just about surviving death; itâs about living life in a state of conscious awareness and service.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS:
Soul Alignment vs. Ego Alignment: Mariko's experience teaches us to live in harmony with our soul's purpose, recognizing when our actions come from fear or insecurity, and choosing love instead.The Power of a Life Review: Whether during life or after, a life review offers insight into our choices, helping us see the impact we have on others and how we can better align with our higher self.We Are Infinite Beings: The realization that "I am love, I am peace, I am joy" reminds us that our true essence transcends the roles and identities we hold in this lifetime.In this profound conversation, Mariko Frederick takes us on a journey through death and beyond, offering a reminder that there is no endâonly a continuation of the soulâs eternal existence. She invites us to consider how we are living and whether we are in alignment with our deepest truth.

In this episode, we are graced with the presence of Dr. Eben Alexander, a renowned neurosurgeon who ventured beyond the boundaries of science through an extraordinary near-death experience. What does life become when youâve seen beyond the veil, when you've journeyed to the other side, and returned? Thatâs the question Dr. Alexander seeks to unravel as he shares the remarkable story of his coma, during which he claims to have visited realms far beyond the confines of our physical reality.Before his experience, Dr. Eben Alexander lived a life that many would consider the pinnacle of success. He spent over 15 years teaching at Harvard Medical School, following a path rooted deeply in neurosurgery, the field his father had also pursued. A self-proclaimed materialist, he believed that consciousness was confined to the brain. As he recounts, "I was certain that science was the pathway to truth, and I made the mistake of thinking that an old, disproven version of materialist science was the answer."But the day he slipped into a coma, everything changed. Stricken with a rare case of E. coli meningitis, his brain was severely compromised. According to medical experts, he should not have had any conscious experiences, yet what he describes is beyond any dream, hallucination, or illusion. He found himself in a realm he calls the "Gateway Valley," an idyllic place filled with vibrant colors, laughter, and the transcendent presence of a mysterious young woman who delivered a telepathic message: "You are deeply loved and cherished forever. You have nothing to fear."This journey was not just an exploration of what lies beyond death but a complete paradigm shift for Dr. Eben Alexander. His profound experience in the Gateway Valley and subsequent ascent into what he describes as the "Core Realm" led him to question everything he once held dear about the nature of consciousness and the universe. He emphasizes the importance of music in these otherworldly travels, as angelic choirs seemed to guide his ascent into higher dimensions.What makes his account even more extraordinary is that during this experience, Dr. Eben Alexander had no memory of his earthly life. In his words, âI had no memory whatsoever for Eben Alexander's life. I had no words, no language, none of those preconceptions of who I was.â He was, in essence, a clean slate, navigating the spiritual realms without the baggage of his human identity. This amnesia, he believes, was a necessary part of his journey, allowing him to confront the deeper questions of existence without bias.His return to this world was as miraculous as the journey itself. After seven days in a coma, when doctors recommended discontinuing his life support, his young sonâs pleaâ"Daddy, you're going to be okay"âpenetrated the veil, calling him back to life. This moment, imbued with the power of love and prayer, became the anchor that pulled him from the brink of death.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Consciousness is not limited to the brain. Dr. Alexanderâs experience challenges the materialist view, suggesting that consciousness transcends the physical body.Love is the ultimate reality. The message from the spiritual realm, "You are deeply loved and cherished forever," speaks to the universal truth that love is the essence of all existence.The power of music and prayer. Whether it was the angelic choirs or his sonâs loving words, the resonance of sound played a vital role in guiding Dr. Eben Alexander through his near-death experience and back to life.As we delve into this profound conversation, the boundaries between science and spirituality begin to blur, reminding us that the mysteries of consciousness are far more intricate than our minds can comprehend. Dr. Eben Alexander's journey leaves us with an essential reminder: the universe is vast, filled with love, and we are all connected in ways we have yet to fully understand.

On today's episode, we welcome Lura Ketchledge, who shares her goosebump-inducing near-death experience (NDE) that took her on the most detailed tour of heaven ever described. At just 19, Lura was living her life like any young adult, juggling work, relationships, and a budding sense of independence. But one fateful day, a horseback riding accident changed everything. As her body remained on Earth, her soul embarked on a journey that transcended time and space, taking her into a mysterious dark tunnel and ultimately into the divine realms of love and knowledge.Lura vividly recounts the surreal moment of her separation from her body, comparing it to being cast out into the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, completely detached from the physical world. This tunnel was more than just a passageâit was a reflection of her inner journey. As she sped through the darkness, she was bombarded with a flood of emotions, ranging from regret to awe, until the light finally appeared. What awaited her on the other side was not just the afterlife, but a reunion with her beloved grandfather, who appeared in perfect health, free of the burdens of his past life.In this profound conversation, Lura Ketchledge describes the transformative beauty of meeting her grandfather, but this reunion was just the beginning. She takes us deeper into the heavenly realms, where she experienced a life review unlike anything described in traditional religious teachings. It wasn't a judgment from above; instead, Lura was given the opportunity to see her own life from a higher perspective. Guided by her grandfather and a mysterious presence, she navigated through layers of her past actions, each revealing insights about her journey on Earth.One of the most remarkable parts of Lura's NDE was her encounter with what she called "the sea of love," a place of pure bliss, where she floated as a point of consciousness. She describes it as a "beautiful, self-love sea" where she felt entirely at peace. "I was free of troubles," Lura reflects. "If I could float in that every once in a while now, it would be so refreshing." This experience, she believes, was not just a glimpse of heaven but also a reminder that our true nature is rooted in love, free from the earthly struggles that often cloud our existence.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSLife Beyond the Body: Lura's experience underscores the idea that our physical form is only temporary. When she flew off the horse, her soul left her body and ventured into realms beyond human comprehension, a reminder that death is not the end but merely a transition.Self-Judgment in the Afterlife: Her life review was not about external judgment but about self-reflection. Lura had the opportunity to view her life with clarity and understanding, offering a perspective that emphasizes the importance of living with kindness and intention.The Sea of Love: The concept of a sea of love where souls float as points of consciousness illustrates a deeply comforting spiritual truth: that in the end, we are all connected by love. This reinforces the idea that our existence is far more expansive than what we perceive in the physical world.As Luraâs journey continued, she encountered a grand cathedral, representing a synthesis of her past lives, both male and female. Each soul, she realized, carries the imprint of many lives lived across time. The experience was overwhelming but enlightening. She understood that her soul had traversed different paths in different forms, all leading her to the insights of this lifetime. Even though she was reluctant to embrace the idea of reincarnation, it became clear that life is a continuous cycle of learning and evolving.In the final moments of her NDE, Lura found herself standing on a beautiful beach, surrounded by cliffs and the deep blue ocean. She saw a magnificent pine tree, which manifested simply because she had thought of it. This thought-responsive reality illustrated a profound spiritual truth: our minds have the power to shape our experiences, both in life and in the afterlife.Luraâs NDE serves as a reminder of the infinite beauty and love that awaits us beyond this world. Her story speaks to the transformative power of near-death experiences and how they offer glimpses into a higher, more loving reality. As we listen to her words, we are invited to reflect on our own lives, to live with more compassion, and to embrace the mysteries of existence with an open heart.

On todayâs episode, we welcome Rob Gentile, a man whose life was irrevocably altered in the blink of an eye. Rob shares a tale that reads like a spiritual odyssey, beginning with what seemed like a routine medical procedure but quickly spiraled into an extraordinary journey beyond the physical realm. His story isnât just about a brush with death; itâs a profound exploration of the unseen connections that tether us to the divine, to our loved ones, and to our own spiritual evolution.Rob Gentile hails from the industrial heartland of Western Pennsylvania, a place where steel and grit are forged alike. After relocating to North Carolina, Robâs life took a harrowing turn when a seemingly simple surgery to remove bone spurs in his neck led to a massive heart attack just days later. The widow-maker, as they call it, halted his life in a split second, plunging him into a flatline that lasted 20 long minutes. But what happened during those 20 minutes defies the conventional understanding of life and death.As Rob lay unconscious, his body failing, he had what can only be described as a mystical encounter. A name, âFrosty,â escaped his lips as he lay flatlined on the hospital gurney. This wasnât just any name; it was the nickname of his brother-in-law, who had tragically taken his own life just seven weeks prior. In a moment of spiritual clarity, Rob Gentile was visited by Frosty, who delivered a message of regret and redemptionâa message that carried profound implications for Robâs understanding of life, death, and the afterlife.Rob's story is one of those rare instances where the veil between worlds seems to thin, allowing us a glimpse into the spiritual realm. His experience was not just a personal revelation but also a healing moment for those around him. The very doctor who fought to bring him back from the brink, Dr. Patel, was herself transformed by Robâs survival. In a deeply emotional conversation, she revealed that she had lost faith after her own father passed away suddenly. Yet, seeing Rob alive against all odds rekindled something within herâa spark of hope that perhaps there is indeed something greater at play in this universe.As Rob reflected on his miraculous survival, he began to piece together the significance of what he had experienced. He recognized the voice urging Dr. Patel to keep working on him as that of her own father, a spirit who refused to let his daughter give up. This realization wasnât just comforting; it was life-altering. It underscored a truth that Rob had come to embrace: "We are spiritual beings first, having a human experience."
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Connection Beyond the Physical: Rob's story reminds us that our bonds with loved ones do not end with death. Spiritual connections transcend physical limitations, offering guidance and support from the other side.The Power of Faith: Dr. Patelâs renewed faith through Robâs survival highlights the importance of holding onto hope and belief, even when lifeâs circumstances seem bleak.The Divine in Everything: Rob's journey teaches us to seek and recognize the divine in every aspect of life. Our spiritual relationship with the Creator is our true essence, and realizing this brings ultimate freedom.In this profound conversation, Rob Gentile shares not just a story of survival but a testament to the enduring power of spirit and the divine forces that guide us. His journey is a reminder that life is more than just a series of random events; it is a spiritual quest filled with lessons, connections, and the ever-present light of the divine.

On today's episode, we welcome Dr. Mary Helen Hensley, a woman who has walked the line between life and death, emerging with profound insights and a deeper understanding of our spiritual existence. Her journey is one that starts with a life-altering event, a near-death experience that has since shaped her worldview and transformed her approach to life itself. The story she shares is both awe-inspiring and humbling, offering a glimpse into the realms beyond the physical, where our true essence resides.
Dr. Hensley's tale begins on a seemingly ordinary day, December 14, 1991, in Charleston, South Carolina. The mundanity of her life, marked by a job far beneath her qualifications, took a sudden and dramatic turn as she found herself on the brink of death following a catastrophic car accident. As she describes it, the world slowed down, and in those moments, she made a conscious decision not to experience the impact but to leave her body, entering into an otherworldly state where time and space as we know it ceased to exist.What struck me most about her narrative was the sheer clarity with which Dr. Mary Helen Hensley recounts her experience. She speaks of the "music of the spheres," a sound that resonated deep within her soul, marking the beginning of her detachment from the physical world. "It was amazing," she says, "Iâm not that body," a realization that ushered her into a new understanding of existence. In this space, she was free from fear, pain, and attachment, observing her lifeless body with the same indifference one might show a set of discarded clothes.Her journey didn't end there; instead, it led her to what she describes as a "Homecoming," an overwhelming sense of love and recognition from two benevolent beings. These figures, though not the religious icons she expected, were familiar in a way that transcended earthly relationships. It was in their presence that she experienced her life review, not in a linear, chronological sequence, but in a simultaneous, multi-dimensional display that forever altered her perception of reality. The message was clear: she was, and always had been, infinite, a being of light navigating through various incarnations and experiences.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
We Are Not Our Bodies: Dr. Hensleyâs experience reinforces the idea that our physical form is merely a vessel for the true self, which is infinite and unbound by earthly limitations.The Music of the Spheres: The resonance she describes highlights the connection between sound, frequency, and our spiritual existence, suggesting that these vibrations are fundamental to our experience of reality.Concurrent Lifetimes: Her life review suggests that our lives may not be as linear as we perceive them, opening up the possibility of simultaneous experiences across different dimensions of reality.In this profound conversation, we are reminded that the trials and tribulations of life are but temporary states, designed to teach us and help us grow. Dr. Hensley's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless nature of our true selves. Through her words, we glimpse the eternal, understanding that we are more than our bodies, our experiences, or our hardships. We are, in essence, infinite beings of light, on a journey of love, learning, and endless discovery.

On today's episode, we welcome Sharon Milliman, a soul who has danced with the divine through a series of extraordinary encounters that defy the boundaries of the physical world. Sharon's journey is not just a tale of survival but a profound exploration of what it means to truly live, to be touched by the infinite, and to return with a message of unconditional love that resonates with the deepest parts of our being.Sharon's life, even before her near-death experiences, was marked by a deep spiritual awareness. As a child, she saw the world through a lens that few others could comprehend, perceiving spirits and energies that were as real to her as the tangible world around her. "I saw God in everything," she says, "even as a small child." This sensitivity, however, made her an outcast among her peers, who couldn't understand her connection to the unseen. Yet, these early experiences laid the foundation for the profound spiritual encounters that would later define her life.Her first brush with death came at the age of thirteen when she drowned during a swimming lesson. Sharon vividly recalls the moment she found herself at the bottom of the pool, her lifeless body suspended in the water, while her consciousness floated above, observing everything with a serene detachment. It was then that she saw a brilliant light, growing ever larger and more inviting, until she was pulled back into her body by the lifeguard's resuscitation efforts. This experience, though brief, opened the door to the spiritual realm, a door that would swing wide open again later in her life.Lightning struck Sharon not once, but four times, each bolt a jolt from the heavens, a call to awaken. The most significant of these strikes peeled her out of her body and into a realm where the physical and spiritual worlds intertwined in ways that are both bewildering and beautiful. "It felt like I was in a circular library," she recalls, describing a place where knowledge flowed like a living stream, where the past, present, and future coexisted in perfect harmony. It was in this space that Sharon met a formless, loving presenceâa being she identifies as Godâwho guided her through a series of profound revelations about the nature of existence.One of the most striking aspects of Sharon's experiences is the absence of judgment. During her life review, she was shown the entirety of her life, not as a series of mistakes to be criticized, but as a tapestry of experiences woven with love and purpose. "I didn't feel any judgment at all," she reflects, "It was like I was watching it for information purposes only." This perspective, free from the harsh self-criticism that plagues so many of us, offered Sharon a new way of understanding herself and her place in the universe.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The Unconditional Nature of Divine Love: Sharon's encounters with the divine emphasized that we are all deeply loved, just as we are. There is no need to change or be anything other than who we are, for in the eyes of the divine, we are already perfect.Life as a Continuous Flow of Learning: Her experiences suggest that life is not a series of isolated events but a continuous flow of learning and growth, where each moment is an opportunity to deepen our understanding and connection to the divine.The Power of Presence and Non-Judgment: Sharon's life review taught her the importance of being present and observing life without judgment, allowing us to see the beauty and purpose in every experience, no matter how challenging.In this profound conversation, Sharon Milliman invites us to step beyond the limitations of our physical world and explore the boundless realms of love and spirit that lie just beyond our perception. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of near-death experiences and the deep, abiding love that awaits us all when we open our hearts to the divine.
