Atheist Near Death Experience w/ Ray Catania

Thank you, Betty, for having me on your show. It was an honor to spend this time with you.

Thank you for sharing your story 🙏❣️ Growing up I always felt like I was in the wrong family and the wrong place which numbed me and made me shy. Not until a horrible devorce in my 40's and learning Osho's meditations I came out of my bubble. Now at 74 I live a peaceful life with my cat enjoying being a granny to 4 wonderful grands 🥰

Hello and thank you so much for sharing your life’s journey with us. I am continually asking my spirit guides to guide me and show me what I am supposed to be doing in this life. Is there something I can do to open that line of communication with them? Thank you so much in advance. 🙏🏽❤️

My father had a vision of my mother’s face when he was about 15. About 8 years later, Daddy was in the Air Force stationed in England. He was very handsome and a ladies man having a lot of fun. He walked into a pub with some women on his arms and looked around the pub and saw my mother sitting in a booth. He said, “Excuse me ladies,” and walked over to Mum. He sat down in front of her and said, “You’re going to marry me.” (or we’re going to marry, or something like that). My siblings and I often say that we’ve never met a more passionate couple. Our home was filled with their flirtation, laughter, fights, deep conversations, deep debates, ideas…life and love. We feel blessed. (It wasn’t all roses, we were very poor, and there were dark days, too, but we all got through it as a family.)

[@jeromebarry1741]

I'm not particularly psychic, nor particularly medium talented. My first wife died in 2022. Later that year her spirit introduced me to the reality of communicating with departed loved ones. I recently told my new wife that if "soul mate" is a real thing, I am going to say that she is mine. I'm convinced that my first wife arranged for us to find one another. Strange things were happening in my life and in the life of my new wife to prepare us for this.

[@moocrazytn]

My freshman year in college, I turned around in class, saw a guy among several guys, and knew I was going to marry him. I made no effort to connect with him. A few weeks later, an aqauintance set us up on a blind date. We eventually divorced, foreshadowed by a dream of 2 previous lives together. Then I dreamed of a man from a previous life and met the guy I think was him soon thereafter. We had a wonderful relationship until his death many years later.

I got the insight that NDE"s are not what we experience after death. The NDE is a teaching device created by people in the spirit world. They are for the purpose of showing us very clearly that we survive death, among other things. That's why, during many NDE's, the survivor is told "tell everyone." They are pushed to tell their story. Some wait a long time before doing that, but others do it right away. In other words, NDE's are an artificial experience created for the purpose of teaching us that we survive death. I think it's both hilarious and really cool that NDE's were created for us to learn. When we look at the work of Jurgen Ziewe, as well as other stories from deceased people, their experience doesn't often match an NDE. Real death is different, and widely varied as well.

[@BigHeartNoBS]

I've had an nde as well and what's funny is that even though his experience was different from mine, I could completely understand and relate with it. I would love to come on and share my story. Are you looking for guests?

When you die for keeps, the "real" you the soul either ends up in Hell or Heaven. If you want to end up in Heaven and partake of the many blessings God has in store for those who believe Him, then you must pray the following with conviction: "Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen."

[@electricmanist]

The 'hell' scenario comes straight out of the middle ages scare tactics; if you don't conform, then hell awaits you. !!! We are all on a journey (life) to gain experience via our experiences. God doesn't create in order to destroy. God is love. Don't forget that there are millions of people born into this world, who might follow other religions. All loved by the Creator--God.

In 1987 I meant Jesus Christ it was not my idea I knew I was in a panic and I saw some thing and then I heard HISCOM loving message to me totally took away any panic or anxiety I had and what he told me happened the following week. I was sold. Then significant hearing HIS same voice in 1996 which totally changed my life turned me around so to speak, 1999 I saw what I will call messengers/angelic beings though I could not look at their face I was frozen so to speak they were on my right side I think they were two of them they were Masculine and they were sort of warning me about some thing, 2002 I stopped dead in my tracks to hear the same audible voice explain something that I was perplexed about emotionally, 2004 given a dream/vision of the ending times I knew nothing about eschatology some of the things are happening now in 2024 and some haven’t happened yet. In 2019 Jesus Christ appeared on my right side again I only saw a long golden glistening robe his feet and his voice and another message. It was spot on I was on my alleged deathbed but now I’m still here in 2024. Jesus Christ is real HE is Always was always will be and once Individual gets to know Christ that’s it… There’s no turning back there’s nothing or nobody like Him

[@leeds48]

So you think he made the whole thing up? Then you have to give him credit for Anthony Hopkins-level acting, and making up an incredibly engaging story. I'm sure he is actually married, so that means he had to get his wife to go along with it. And what is the motive? Maybe 1 percent of of NDEers write books and only 1 percent of those people do better than break even on the money they had to spend to get it published. As far as I can tell, the odds of him having made this up are about 1 in 10,000.

[@roccocarlino067]

NDE's are across all cultures and belief systems. Essentially they're visions of the subconscious mind, one of the faculties within the soul which is responsible for our memories, habits, impressions, instincts etc. You fall into a state of soul consciousness, (the soul never dies its eternal) they're like dreams or visions. They are different for each person according to their cultural belief systems. The reason is what's lurking in their subconscious mind. I have interviewed many NDE’s, some have conversations with Krishna or Vishnu and others with Christ or the Virgin Mary, some see amazing lights! or past family members...the list is very long. The soul is genderless, endless, religious-less, culture-less, nameless when it's separate from the body. Mind, Intellect, Subconscious are the only constants. When the soul truly departs the body, all memories of that past birth are finished along with relationships, this is known as death. The soul then enters a womb and a new chapter begins according to the karmic accounts of is past life.

[@davidrooker5141]

wow

[@miriamlandau1207]

It seems a little contradictory to say not to look for your soulmate when he met his future wife after he signed up on a dating site. So, I'm not sure how that makes sense?

[@phillemon7664]

He signed up onto the sight looking for a partner not his soulmate. There’s a big difference. It’s like the difference between getting a job to make money compared to winning the lottery. If it’s your time to find your soul mate you will find them.

[@kimberly4351]

I thought this was a testimony about how an Atheist became a Christian. No matter how he or any of you try to glorify "MEDIUMS" this goes against the will of God . Yes, mediums are real they are talked about in the bible (SAUL) but God warn us about talking to the dead. UGH!!!!

[@brunogalati8408]

OK if there a god why is there so much unhappiness in the world then why is there death in the world then if hey cheated death there shouldn't bey any how come he cant show himself if hey god

[@phillemon7664]

Think of it from this perspective: we only view this unhappiness to be real because there is a joyous aspect to the simple fact that we exist. God isn’t an old man on a cloud that has feelings like us but rather something unfathomably large and unbounded that would prefer if it could feel and create art and make mistakes. Yes, this would necessary mean that everything is a learning opportunity, we all just need to learn this fact so that those who take advantage of the poor and downtrodden will actually grow an relinquish power instead of regressing as they always do. Don’t worry, it will all make sense eventually my friend.

[@leeds48]

If there was no unhappiness in this world, then it wouldn't be earth, it would be heaven. The plan is to have a place loaded up with problems, limitations, and imperfection - that is a great place for souls to learn, have all kinds of experiences, and grow. You can't grow and develop being in perfection and bliss all the time. There are doubtless innumerable heavens, planets, dimensions, etc. and sure, this is a tough planet, I'll grant you that.

Dude is just trying to sell books

[@s.d.melcher]

44:26 You really need to read the entire KJV (or NKJV) Bible to understand Jesus and His teachings. It isn’t fair to cherry-pick any belief system that is well established and just mish-mosh it into what you want it to be. If you really want to understand God (and His heart), study His book. It’s that simple. ✨💖✨✝️✨💖✨

[@phillemon7664]

The thing is KJV isn’t too accurate to Jesus’ teachings. Many things were changed and words were rearranged to fit the beliefs of those who Jesus opposed. It’s best to consult the Rosicrucians and ask them which books are best to read to get the clearest picture of that great individuals life.
