I was drawn to this video because I sensed the depth of honesty in her eyes. Thank you!

Thank-you for sharing your story ❤️ I would love to be able to share my NDE like this and find others have experienced similar things. I shot myself in the face during a psychosis (you lose control of your actions at times) and can remember the pain and how bad it was..and being put on high potency pain meds just to get me to the hospital as I was screaming in pain..they put me to sleep but I had woken up when at the hospital..I couldn't see anything but could hear me being wheeled around..and the sound of the helipad as I was being airlifted. But then...I was floating above myself, just watching in the corner of the room myself on the table and doctors around me. But while I was watching I felt no pain..no anxiety..but peace. I also am studying psychology and very interested in NDEs..I want to tell my story someday like this video. So well done

[@polkcellar]

You showed a good start here. I wish you well.🕊.

[@deepermeaning5679]

Thank you for sharing your poignant story, dear Jenn. Hopefully one day you will be able to talk about your NDE and give hope and motivation to people in a similar position. We wish you all the love and strength.

I am Light. What a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. What a beautiful revelation you experienced 💛🕉️🙏

[@5cloudwalker]

my dearest friend died last week of course I was aware of near death experiences and I would often tell her about them I had no idea that she would die so suddenly as much as I know about near death experiences it’s still comforts me to listen to this thank you❤️😊

[@deepermeaning5679]

We are very sorry for your loss, dear friend. We wish you lots of strength, peace and love. It is soothing that the presence of NDE still provides a kind of peace and security. Hopefully your loved one will experience the peace and unprecedented love that Catja also talks about in the video. With love and respect for your grieving process.

Beautiful lady.

[@hogansheroes2793]

The sole purpose of this life is to love God and love your neighbor as yourself. True, if we love God and love our neighbors as ourselves we will obey His commandments. Thankfully we aren't saved by loving God but rather because He first loved us and gave Himself for us. Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of eternal life to all who trust Him alone for salvation. Jesus paid for all the sins of all the world at the cross (past, present,and future). That payment is put to your account when you have believed on Christ alone for salvation. When you have believed on Christ alone for salvation then you have repented unto life. The only reason anyone will ever be in Heaven is solely by the perfect life, shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection, of Jesus Christ alone. Anything added or subtracted from this is another gospel. Our good works, repenting of sins, and obedience, are solely for rewards in Heaven or a lack thereof and have absolutely nothing to do with salvation at all.

Your drawing resembles Raymond Kinman's drawing of the loving light. See his NDE here on KZbin. The way he talks about the "love" is so wonderful.

"And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." - 1John 1: 5 - "All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." - John 1:3-5

[@caoimhin61plunkett52]

Beautiful. So sincere. A great message the world needs to hear and take on board. The root of all evil is not money/power. In the true ancient texts - it is the fear of death, physical death, as annihilation that is the root of so much evil and suffering in the world. Thank you / Danke Catja for sharing your experience with the world. Bless you !! xx Ireland.

Jesus is the only way... Humbly ask him he will answer you.,!

[@VV6385]

Those NDEs which have been not fully experienced and in which you were seeing just tunnel and strong colours and have been experiencing euphoric and unconditional love are the most tricky. I have been there. I don’t judge the people being mislead that only good and love exists, because even the Lucifer represents him as being of light. And demons can represents as your passed love ones. What I want to say is.. be careful and don’t fall on the first signs. What God made and creates, satan copies. God bless. ❤️

[@serafinagracias1367]

Hi Vesna Volf, your comment is reeeeeeally good! Life is complicated. For most people life is full of challenges. Some people are blind, others starve, others are lost, lonely or sick. God is our Father. He sends us here to learn, but also to fight darkness and become stronger. Only God is just pure love. And we are no gods. So we had better be reeeeally careful when people tell us about NDEs where there are love feelings and no responsibility or communication with God whatsoever.

[@VV6385]

@@serafinagracias1367 thank you sister. Both sides are fighting for our souls, only we can choose the side who will serve. It is not easy to pick up your cross and follow but it is worth it. God bless 🌹..

[@jfunk6932]

That is wise advice. Lucifer, however, could never produce love in any way. God is love. Love, in fact, is what God is all about. Satan is the opposite and completely incapable of producing or manifesting Godly, unconditional love. In addition, the people that NDE'ers recognize in heaven that exude such love could also not be mimicked by demons in that aspect.

[@serafinagracias1367]

@@jfunk6932 Yes, he does produce love effects. Jesus said "beware, in the last days many will be deceived, even the most faithful". He also said " the devil comes as wolves in sheep"s clothing". Be careful, folks. There are other NDEs describing visits to hell also. There are plenty of those and as we do not know for certain what will come, we had better be careful. The Bible says the pay for sin is death. That is the reason Christ was sacrificed - to pay for us.

[@serafinagracias1367]

@@jfunk6932 Also the name Lucifer comes from the Latin world "lux" which means "light". Because according to the Holy Scriptures Lucifer appears as an angel of light. He can easily deceive most people. He is actually ruling our world. New Age is his creation.

To whoever is responsible for the editing of this video: Please remember that the days of long tv shows and few channels with little competition is completely over. So keep in mind that nobody is watching this to see two minutes of unnecessary editing and camera tricks before the story begins. This is 2021 and we have over a billion videos available on youtube, and our time is limited, so please just get to the story next time. When you're editing a video you need to respect your viewer's time.

[@deepermeaning5679]

Thanks for your feedback, Figgs! We take your feedback with us and see if we can do something with it for the next production. This is how we improve the content together. At the same time, we believe it is important to also provide slow journalism for the people who prefer it. The world is fleeting, and sometimes it is very nourishing and healing to consciously stop and take time for the things that we find important in life.

@@deepermeaning5679 this is a hater Catja. Don't even bother. You did great. Thank u for sharing your story. I pray that you look for God and Jesus. Read 📖 John 3. God bless you. 🙏

[@TheRoundandround]

overproduced. the melodramatic tone takes away from the "deeper meaning"; it all looks so squeaky clean, so devoid of soul. her story is not worth mentioning among the thousands of more meaningful experiences, really, because it conveys nothing new or worth sharing because of identification. why would this video be made? does Deeper Meaning have so much money they don't know what do with it?

[@PokeJenn97]

This is so rude and unnecessary. This woman's story is not only powerful, and relatable to many of us who have experienced NDE's. But is important and necessary. Her story is beautiful and empowering and deserves to be shared..I felt this was produced spectacularly. As I mentioned in my other comment I wish I could tell my story this way and with images like this and music.

[@deepermeaning5679]

​@@PokeJenn97 Thank you very much for your warm words. We appreciate that. We fully agree with you! We think it's important to share these kinds of stories. To break taboos. To open discussions. And to support people who have a similar experience. Because life is so much deeper than we think.

[@kbeetles]

People are all different, one kind of presentation may not be appealing to you, but someone else actually connects because it is presented in this particular way. If this leaves you cold, at least be respectful to others, including this lady. Sorry to remind you, but you are not the measurement of all things.

[@marjaruijterman9087]

I agree with the melodramatic tone. But Catja's story is of a great beauty and gives me a warm and happy feeling. Her story is just as important as other story's.

[@Siggkins]

What melodramatic tone? I didn't find her at all 'melodramatic'. You're being melodramatic! People's NDEs aren't for your 'viewing pleasure'. They don't happen to personally provide you some excitement and relief from boredom with your life or your void of meaning. They're not for audience score-boarding.
