"You have a beautiful baby girl, and she's doing fine." I'm an unemotional 40 year old man, and this made me cry.

[@lizzettorres1111]

I was an athiest and had, what I now know is called, a Spiritual Awakening. It changed my life I'm not the same person I was before it happened. It was like having an NDE. It's so beautiful when you find out there God is real and we're all a part of God

[@lizzettorres1111]

@vvenomm 492 Sure, I could on and on I say it was like an NDE because in a flash my whole life changed. I was depressed, addicted to my pain meds and I didn't believe in God, I was miserable and 1 more thing happened, it's too long to get into, but I think I had a breakdown then it was like somebody turned on a light and for a second I was the universe I was love, that's what I experienced and I understood that was God, we're all part of God. It's hard to explain the feeling but I was euphoric for abt 5 mnths, my depression and addiction went away I felt like I was vibrating. I always had, and still do, hv my tv on utube and these sites started coming on that I'd never seen before and didnt search for that's how I found out that what happened to me was a spiritual awakening. It sounds crazy, my family called me crazy and I had never heard of a sp. awkning before and I asked everybody I know and they sd they havn't either. It happened in Nov of 2019, and I've learned so much since then about meditation, consciousness, reincarnation... and I know I didn't believe in God before because all I knew about God was what I heard in church and it never made sense to me. Everything Eckard Eckard Tolle, Dwayne Dyer, Alan Watts and what everybody who's had a NDE talk about are the truth, to me anyway. So much more happened in that 1st 5 months it was absolutely beautiful. Have you experienced an awakening or had an NDE?

[@topologyrob]

Wow, that sounds similar to what I went through. I had a profoundly deep, direct knowledge that I was completely loved, and felt embraced by pure consciousness and light - like I was completely known, connected, part of everything. I had been a strong atheist, but after that it made so much sense to me when various Hindus, Buddhists, indigenous Aussies, Christians, Jews, Muslims and others I spoke to shared their experience of divine love or higher self or whatever term they chose to use for being connected to transcendent love.

I had a car crash in 2010, i was died and return to life, i saw angel, and saw heavan, angel took me from a bottom of my car and took me thrue the big space, dark and big, i was fliying high in the sky, i saw my dead body in the car, i didnt knew yet that i'm dead, then he told me, come with me, dont worry everything will be okey, i flight very fast, this angel was so beautiful, very white, very shining like a diamond, angel was light, no eyes no details, nether woman or man, just big lightning smile, with big peace and love feeling, he took me thrue a tunnel, big long and dark tunnel, i was terrified, and saw all my life existence, my family, my birth very fastier before getting dead, then i knew i was dead, and boom, a big and a wonderfull lightning place, undescriptible place, i was looking like from a big window, it was heavan, angel showed me a big two beautiful rivers moving, near to a big beautiful tree moving also, with a lovely colorfull birds, on my right side. On my left side, i saw a couple of angels with two kids, smiling and in divine happiness, and saw a source of water, and a big source of light, its not like a sun , it was very powerfull but not sun, it dosent hurt eyes, no warm, no hot, no cold, i was smiling and very happy there, all were withness and green colorfull spaces, all was moving and biggest, all was lightness and beautifull, there was no crying, no screaming, just peace and love, i felt a big and an unconditionnal love there, there was no feeling of time or spaces, all is moving there like a big and magic samophony, then a divine voice of this angel asked me to welcome a hug of this big tree, he told me: this is a tree of knowldege, take some of, i saw a big tree coming twards me then like he gaving me a big hug, i felt very full of new things. Then a divine voice told me : this will be your place anyway, if you accept to live with your new body and accept your illness, if you accept it, it will be your place . So my soul sad yes, i was very happy, then, the divine voice sad to me: so now, return to your body, return to life. Then i do. And from that time, i cry everyday, missing a beautifull place i've seen, i'm not anymore the same person, i live with illeness now, but very happy to have been there, heavan exist, god is too much love and love us more than anything, angels are so beautifull, lovely and magic. And i wish this place to Every believer on this earth even persons who dont believe, i cry so much for them, if only people knew what heavan is, they will cry every day all there existence. And they will understand that material life is just an illusion, heavan is more real than material life. Heavan is big, and undescriptible, a lovely and divine place where souls are in happiness and love forever. Angels are so beautifull, they are made of light, a powerfull shining light, they are just love and peace like god. I felt love of god there, and now i live with those beautifull memories of my travel, and waiting and working to get there very soon i hope.

[@DoowopLover]

I have personally had a NDE, which was also an OBE (out of body experience). As soon as I came out of my body, I noticed how calm and peaceful it was. I was completely at peace. I knew I was accepted, and I was sensing perfect unconditional love. Then came the time when I knew I was in the presence of the Source, the Divine, the Great Spirit, God, the Universal Consciousness, or whatever someone chooses to call this. This is the most loving, caring, kindest, and gentlest entity I have ever encountered. An incredibly beautiful experience. The last thing I experienced before returning to my body was what I call the Oneness. Sort of like the oneness of the universe, or the oneness of everything, I just knew in the spiritual sense, that everything is one. I returned to my body right after this, and after many years, I'm still here to relate my experience. In my view, the overwhelming majority of people will be just fine in the afterlife. So, there is no reason to fear death or the unknown. Just do the best you can with your Earthly human lives, and don't worry about what happens after physical death.

[@Jaime-eg4eb]

It's hard to believe the amount of people in these comments discarding her experience based on their religious beliefs. That seems backwards to me. You have to use experiences to inform your beliefs, and be honest about your (our) ignorance. Also saying "only this path towards spiritual development should be taken" says more about your fears than about the creator of the universe, for whom billions of paths may be equally valid and precious. Life seems to indicate that, since we can certainly see that we have a very large degree of freedom in terms of what avenues we can take to grow. Do you know the absolute truth, or are you afraid of your ignorance and what that may mean for you? And invoking a religious figure's name as a way to shut down people who think differently than you is disrespectful both to that figure and to the person you are speaking to.

Fact is we don’t understand anything at all not even water, but we have people preaching about their beliefs being the correct one.

[@77goanywhere]

As a "committed" Christian for many years who began several years ago to question many aspects of typical evangelicalism, I have been greatly blessed to learn about NDEs. These many experiences I have watched and read about have definitely helped to reinforce my core Christian beliefs while allowing me to shed many other fslse and unnecessary aspects related to God's seemingly bipolar nature and the burden placed on people in regard to religious obligations and performance. I now see and experience God just as Jesus revealed. A totally accepting and unconditionally loving Father who is not in the least judgmental. We are OF God and we will all return TO God as beloved sons and daughters. No religion needed, just revelation of the infinite love that pervades all things!

It's exactly why I'm nowhere near ready to be interviewed about my experience. I've already been discounted and dismissed by someone I love dearly. They were a big part of what I was shown concerning my life and her's and all of our lives. She was part of my experience, and it's really hurt me deeply. It's HARD to talk about these things. I don't understand why someone would want to falsify this unless they're on a mission from a cult-like oppressive and abusive Church and justifying lying to pound fear, fire, and Brimstone into the world because their dogma and doctrine has made them mentally ill. It's NOT ALL SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS when you come back. I'm struggling with A LOT...depression, grief, a new highly empathic "gift" that makes everyone's emotions my own...even hopelessness, despair, shame, guilt...Take it easy on these folks.

Personally, being someone who who has had a profound NDE, I cringe and hold my breath every time I feel moved to comment or open up even a little. We already have some of the people closest to us completely dismissing us as either crazy or saying trying to explain it away as something it wasn't. We're here to learn love each other and learn to accept and cherish those that truly love us. I guess it's just an example of how lousy at it we really are😔.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

I meditate slightly. What do you do to get to that state?

[@lmergenti]

@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked A couple of things might be helpful: 1) You are not in control of, or responsible for your experience (what you feel). But you are in control of, and responsible for what you do. So don't strive for any particular experience. Allow what is, to come to you. And whatever experience comes your way, don't judge it. Experiences are neither good nor bad. Aim to feel what already is -- all the physical sensations in your body -- even if it's uncomfortable. Feel fully and without judgment, and without acting upon what you feel. Just observe. Allow whatever happy thoughts, negative thoughts, or ridiculous thoughts that appear before you, to just pass by like clouds in a breeze. Don't be harsh on yourself. Treat yourself kindly. The action you take is: practice regularly, and dispassionately. Practice, practice, practice. 2) Not all meditation techniques are created equal. The technique of meditation is extremely particular and requires a teacher who has mastered it so that you can be properly guided. It cannot be self-taught. The technique of meditation and the teacher are inseparably intertwined. That's why the clinical practice of technique alone does not get anyone very far. It's like trying to walk with one leg. Dr. Peyton herself found this out. Go back to the 18:30 mark in Dr. Peyton's video where she has understood this.

What's worse is that Jesus prophesied that people would end up doing that with His words and that they would lead many astray, yet people just keep right on following this false new age Christ (aka antichrist). The devil knows how the human mind & heart works and what people want to believe about life & God and he mirrors it back to us. And this is exactly why it's going to be so easy to get people to take the mark of the beast and to worship the image of the antichrist because they'll believe whatever they're told as long as they like the way it sounds. ....It's good to keep an open mind, too... just not so open that your brain falls out.

[@independentvoter2448]

@@kathymravintz9218 I agree with you. I have been intrigued by credible NDE experiencer who after seeing and being stongly convinced by what they see, come back and recommend Normal Meditation. One Highly respected Atheist doctor was even told to reveal to Humanity what he learned but my problem with his instructions, was that he was to reveal in appointed time. He also was required to keep certain information secret. My take on this is that it is possible that, having been given a second chance by God, Satan who is perfectly aware of both realms(and was probably waiting to harvest the souls of such atheist individuals but got dissapointed ) embarks on immediate plan to deceive and steal that Chance by derailing the lessons learnt from the experience. As far as I am concerned and would freely recommend to everyone, is the meditation offered by deep Prayers of the Lord Father and Creator of the universe, the Holy spiritt and His Son Jesus Christ. The beauty of following this path is that there is no fine text. The path to Him is open, clear and the requirements laid bare by the holy Bible text. I once tried out of the Body Experience after reading a Book by an Isreali Jew Uri Genner (Not sure of the spelling) and I assure you it is absolutely real but even as a young man in his twenties back then (1980's), I could detect some Satanic flavor. While ,While in the very early stages of OBE meditation, I came out of the body and somehow my form (spirit?) uncontrollably, drifted to a room sitting a young boy of about 10 years old. I seemed to enter from the corrugated Iron sheet roof and I saw the boy look at "me" . He gave out the most blood cuddling scream I have ever heard in my life. My spirit , hurriendly went back and re-etnered my body and came out of the meditative state. The boys scream coming out from about 150 meters away could still be heard. Neigbors were frantically trying to calm the boy and finding out what was the problem. I never dared to come because I didn't know wether I looked the same in the spirit and Physical form I look the same from the perspective of another person. Since it was about 10:00pm, I am sure had I rushed out to join the crowd in our usual spirit of spirit of vigilante and somehow, the boy associated that form with me, I would have been lynched by a mob. That is what we do here in Kenya if the Police don't happen to be around. That left me with no illusion as to what the source of this "Knowledge" was. Further, I was in the middle of a dilemma of a sentence in the book that said something to the effect that if you grossed the threshhold of learning past the Chaper I was reading and practicing, you will never be able to reverse. That lite the Danger signal very brightly. I asked myself two profound Questions. If this thing is from God, how can he take our freewill away. Secondly, How long will I never be able to stop it, is it eternity? That scred me to the core. I burnt the book and I no longer enertain any deliberate active search for any supernatural experience. However, I wholly welcome and embrace any that comes 'naturally' e.g NDE, unexpected angelic encounters or miracles whether after prayers or just unexpected. This I believe, Is God Manifesting His love for us.

“Home…” I participated in an 8-week mindfulness counsel, lead by two MSW’s who’d trained with Jon Kabat-Zinn in Boston. We learned several types of meditation. For me, their renditions of body scans were surreal, esp. “the mountain”. One of our walking meditations brought us, barefoot, down to a big babbling brook in the woods. We were to let our hearts lead our feet and remain silent, avoiding eye contact with each others. After hearing the bell signal to start our return up the hill to the circle, I intentionally dragged my feet, letting all the others go ahead. As the last person by the water, I was startled when I heard a voice next to me say, clear as day, “come home”. I jumped and look to my right but no one was there. I was completely alone. When I shared that with the group later that evening, every mouth fell open, including the counselors’. While meditating at home alone once, I found I was suddenly hovering above my body looking down at myself and everything in the room. It scared me so I snapped out of it and haven’t meditated solo since. If I hadn’t been alone I think I might have gone for a short ride to see where it took me. When I shared these experiences with friends and family, they thought I was a lunatic but that’s ok. They’ll see for themselves someday. I know “it’s still there” for whenever I want to revisit (after rehoning my meditation practice skills of course).

Yes, certain things which can't be measured using "current" scientific method is not called science: to determine the level of consciousness, we just need a different branch of science... Om shanti..🙏

@@Enterprise-Architect Hello. "why people feel delighted (not just happy) when they help someone " The human species is a social animal and we have naturally evolved to enjoy helping each other, just enough to give humans an edge over similar non-social creatures. That's why immoral behaviour still persists in us. It's a tug of war between self interest and the good of society (which is also self interest in the long run). We can amplify and train our nature to be more moral but our natural tendencies are enough to improve our situation. Moral behaviour benefits our species. There is no magic required for humans to have morals.

[@Enterprise-Architect]

@@con.troller4183 Thanks, very well said... Just asking, do you also think that people love each other due to morality and natural tendencies to have edge over other non-social creatures... or at subconscious level they feels like to be connected due to a certain bond... 🙏

[@con.troller4183]

@@Enterprise-Architect Love is a pretty broad term but as it applies to my argument that morals are natural, evolved behaviour, then yes, love is the same that way. Humans, and all mammals, especially females, receive neuro chemicals that stimulate warm feelings for their young. The brain rewards us for doing things that help us survive as a species. If it didn't we would die. As humans we can abstract those feelings, turning them into poetry, music and art. If animals could do the same, I believe they would.

A Near Death Experience is just that... a NEAR death experience. Their vital signs may be completely gone ("flat lining"), but their consciousness continues to experience what is going on around them. When a person is truly beyond resucitation, they simply die and are never revived. But on occasion even the most severely injured individuals live through the trauma, and are eventually able to relate their experiences on "the other side." These are NDEers.

It's really funny when people say stuff like: "Oh that wasn't real, just a fantasy" or "It was all happening inside your brain" or "It was all because of lack of Oxygen" etc. as if they know what they're talking about. as if that is not a fantastical story itself. So tens of millions of people have had experiences that they describe as the most real, the most certain, the most profound, the most beautiful and the most important thing for them to such degree that their entire life in comparison falls into utter insignificance, and somehow the explanation for an atheist or a materialist is "Lack of a dumb substance called Oxygen" in another grey substance inside of the skull called "The brain" which is itself just a collection of dumb atoms, and they don't stop for a second to think what the fuck does that even mean. The sad thing is that materialists never question their own circular Belief System, Otherwise it falls apart in seconds.

@@sokunine Exactly, If The physical Brain is the organ that allows us to experience conscious appearances, then our everyday life is also a product of that organ and therefore based on their logic it should not be regarded more credible. In reality however, "The Brain" cannot be the thing that allows us to have conscious experiences of appearances (Vision, Sound, Touch, Taste and other sensations), because what people call "The Brain" is itself one of those appearances! Brain itself is a product of consciousness. A form that it takes, Intelligently, it's not a bunch of dumb dead molecules that somehow perceives the reality and when it lacks Oxygen it produces illusions that feel infinitely more real that the "real" reality.

@@childofvenus3781 Yes but to be fair there are good objections such as the similarity of NDEs and psychedelics. Some believe NDEs are a survival mechanism secreting DMT. You cannot just wash away these objections. Another big objection is the contradictory nature of cross cultural NDE reports as western NDEs see tunnel of light, angelic beings, life review, perfect love, peace but many asian/indian/japanese reports may see a dark river instead of light tunnel, may not see life review due to beliefs in rebirth etc. So these are valid points. Of course i am aware of veridical reports so i am on the fence as of now

[@mrsq117]

@@childofvenus3781 totally agree with you, this lady was a former atheist and a neurologist, her job is ‘the brain’ so naturally you would think she knows how the brain works and if the experience was due to DMT ect she would probably still be an atheist. I have read many reports of People who have experienced both NDE and DMT and they say they are different . I find the ones who don’t believe are ones who have never experienced a NDE, I have not read a report of a NDEr who still came out an atheist

[@childofvenus3781]

​@@Yameen200 Yes there are real similarities between NDE and psychedelics like DMT. And it's Not a coincident that there are similarities! sometimes they access the same aspects of reality (aka: consciousness), For example 5MEO-DMT is a kind of DMT that literally allows access to God consciousness, the same God that NDE's talk about- source/infinite love. So how are these similarities an Objection to NDE's being real? And your second presented objection is in my experience Non-existent. I don't know who told you that but I've seen and listened to more than a 1000 NDEs, from people of every race, culture, belief and nationality and although the detail of every experience is unique (For example not everyone sees a tunnel, it has nothing to do with being/not being western), but the general message and experience of ultimate reality is always the same, which is love. for example one interesting thing is that most people's idea of god is a sort of judge, that condemns them, But from hundreds of experiences that I've seen that they were life reviewed, They all said there was absolutely no judgement, which is contrary to what most people believed because of religious brainwashing, and these were people from different cultures. Or Christians that had NDEs, I have never seen that in that NDE experience they were told to tell people that anyone who does not believe in Jesus is going to hell. (I challenge you to find me one if you think it exists). These things should tell you this is not an illusion created by the brain the way you think. If you believe there is a "brain", I recommend the Video that I linked in above comments.

We are not "one consciousness." We are individuals. We are individuals created by God, with free will. Some use that free will to reconcile with God through Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.

Having experienced NDE. No she is just very smart and no doubt thought a lot about what she was to speak. I was not a Christian when I had this. Perhaps that is why you are having a hard time accepting this. Like her I did not see Jesus or God. Neither did my daughter or sister. Both Christians.

[@steveangell1072]

@@Cardoo46 Not being a Christian, I was once one, I get attacked a lot by Christians. That said they do have on line meetings where you can hear people speak of their NDE's and other things. What she said was very much in line with what I feelt in my own NDE. It is really impossible to explain them. The love is so immense you can not comprehend it. Nothing about it is really comprehensible. It is like it all happens at once yet in a timeline for example. Most of mine was speaking with this source of Love. Not so much about my body. It was in very bad shape for three weeks. I often left my body the pain was so bad. So though it happened over three weeks it was still like it happened all at once. Other things also happened it was like I was in an alternate reality for example. I could not really see the walls of the Hospital room I was in. Instead I looked right through them and saw things in blue that did not make sense to me. Ghosts moving things around or something like that. Lots to be done in a Hospital. I would hear things like this patient needs help or that one is dying. Yet I did not see thee patients and it happened all at once. I was even visited by two of these blue beings several times explaining to me what happened to me. Your injuries are not consistent with a fall they said. My wife and daughter said I fell and injured my head and toes. A year and a half later I remembered more of my OBE during my NDE and that fully explained what happened to me. By then my wife had passed away. However this Love I felt had told me I could not help her. I had previously brought her back to life when she died from a stroke. But this time nothing could be done to keep her from passing on. I think her story was well done. Most likely she hid part of the story to keep private things private. Unlike her I knew God very well prior to this. Well enough to bring my wife back to life after her stroke that should have killed her. But that love I felt was not what I expected. It was far stronger than what i felt praying to God to bring my wife back to life.

[@ByGraceIGo]

This is an incredible story but why is she so reluctant to say she experienced God? Not to sound critical I just want to know. It's not just meditation. There are people who are completely utterly lost who say they meditate. I was hoping she would say "now I believe in God", which I think she does and made that reference about her husband being an atheist as if she is not an atheist anymore obviously, but in the end she surprised me by just exalting meditation. God is love that is why she felt love. Jesus Christ died and rose again to give us life eternal.
