I had a crazy NDE when I overdosed that changed my entire life and now I am employed by the hospital and I talk to patients after their overdose and connect them to resources. By the grace of God clean since 2018 baby!!

I would love to hear about your experience! I’m in the first season of my podcast, called Down From Above, which consists solely of near-death experience stories. And already, I have four experiences with women who have died from overdoses. It’s so interesting how they come out with the urge to serve, which totally changes their lives. I believe your story 100% and would love to hear more.

My daughter had a NDE at 4 years old. This happened 25 years ago. My sister had her outside near the end of the driveway looking at the horses in the field and my uncle pulled into the driveway while they were out there so my sister ran down the drive way and at that moment a intoxicated driver came across the opposite lane of travel and into our driveway striking her. They had to call in life flight to fly her to Cincinnati childrens and they lost her 6 times during that flight. When she came out of her coma she said she was watching everyone standing over her crying and two people came and got her and walked her down a tunnel that was very bright and they brought her to a persona that was bright like the tunnel and they ask her if she wanted to stay or go back and I assume she couldn't make up her mind because she said the person that was bright like the tunnel said look your grandma is down there crying i think she still needs you if you go back you can come back here later. That was when I realized there has to be something beyond because a 4 year old could not come up with that own thier own.

[@E-Kat]

I'm so very sorry this had happened to your daughter and you had to experience this horrible situation! It must've been like living in a nightmare one cannot wake up from. Your daughter's statement is so good to hear, as she was such an innocent child, with unpolluted by external influences mind. Your daughter's experience is the most remarkable of all of the NDES, and I've watched hundreds and hundreds of them. You must be so glad she was able to be send back. Much love to you both ❤

I never had a NDE, but I had an experience after my brother passed tragically when I was 16. About 3 week later, I awoke due to a bright light shining into my room. When I walked into our kitchen, he was standing the smiling at me. He was happy, and looked at peace. He had the beautiful, warm light around him. I was stunned, and said “I thought you were dead?” He just smiled at me and said “it’s not like that, you don’t die”. I just starred at him, and finally told him that I love him. He walked over to me and lightly punched me in my arm (like he use to commonly do). Then we were sitting on our couch and I was begging him to tell me what happened to him. His death was suspicious and we were trying to figure out who did this to him. He told me not to worry about that anymore, he was ok. I asked him again, and the phone rang. He talked for a couple seconds and told me he had to go. He got up to walk into another room and I asked him to stay. He turned around and smiled and said “Don’t worry, I’ll see you again”. He turned and walked into the other room. I was crying and jumped up and ran after him. He was gone. Instantly, I was sitting up in my bed with tears already streaming down my face. Then I realized it was a dream, but it didn’t feel like a dream at all. It feel so real, vivid, and unexplainable in many ways. I’ve never had another experience like that one.

[@mEgA_riLed]

What a blessing!!!

[@user-bn7bk5mw4s]

God gave you that dream my friend and you did see your son. Don't let anyone tell you different. I've had a NDE and 4 or 5 years before a dream like that of two other loved ones❤

[@arusso961]

What a beautiful experience to have. I had something like that y after my mother passed, a couple of times. That a visitation within a dream as opposed to just a regular dream. It was done like that so it wouldn't scare you as much, or make you as uncomfortable. And they’re so special to have. Talk to him, and see if he’ll come back for another.

[@dpclerks09]

The Toltecs believe that we are dreaming 24/7. There is no separation between the "waking" dream and the "sleeping" dream. Your brother is correct. "It's not like that, you don't die." Thank you for sharing your story, it sounds beautiful❤

And it was comfortable. I felt nothing at all physically or emotionally. It was nice.

[@stephanienewton6618]

For the 9/11 question he had, there’s a guy on KZbin who tells a story about how one of the “falling souls” came to him after he hit the ground and thanked him for witnessing his death. He said he saw the souls leaving their bodies about 40 feet above the ground before their bodies hit the ground. I’m choosing to believe him so I can sleep at night.

[@ryanperry8732]

That was a hypothetical. He didn’t say he actually saw there physical souls, it was all “as if” scenarios.

[@bmentlow]

I believe that’s what happens to a lot of people when it comes to imminent death from blunt force trauma. The soul is snatched out from their bodies like milliseconds before impact. I think it is mercy that the creator has put in place.

I was drunk as hell with a former friend and we got in a fight. He started choking me and was trying to kill me. I lost consciousness and found myself hovering over my body while it was being choked to death. It was as if somebody had pulled the roof and the walls off the building and everything inside of it and it was just me and him. Everything else was pitch black. I was floating in absolute darkness. I was floating away farther and farther into the darkness. It was by far the most peace I have ever felt. There was no noise. I mean nothing. Absolute dead silence. I got to where I could barely see myself and him and then suddenly I was back in my body and running out the door with him chasing me. The door he had kicked in earlier that night bc he couldn't find his keys. I wouldn't of got out of there if the door was locked. I ran and got away. I believe that once I lost sight of myself while I was floating away, that my life would of been over. It felt as if it was a metaphor for my life being that when i lose sight of myself, im dead inside. That peace I felt was magical. No drug could ever give me that. Took me a while, but I quit drinking 5 years later. I'm 816 days sober today. That experience was life-altering.

[@SparkyTuttle]

While you are living, if your daughter wasn't an infant...on that I have no experience, but besides that, never assume little things are just coincidences. I know people who wait for a sign and never get one, or so they think. Often times, especially within a month , ( don't get caught up on the time) we receive signs they are overlooked. My personal experience shortened...after my mom passes, I fell asleep on her front room floor. Before dawn, she spoke into my ear and immediately I woke up. I thought she was still here. Her message, I'm at home and I'm alright. Weeks later her favorite cousin contacted me and told me how my mom contacted her. I had never told anyone. Her message was exactly the same, except she called her sweetheart. My father used to collect dimes. I was around 55 and had never found even a penny but whenever life gets crazy, I will find a dime in places that I know could not have been there. Later, I found out those are 2 common messages. But you might just smell her, your keys might get moved, lights flicker, you think about her and suddenly you see her in a crowd or even more common, in dreams that are far more real than normal dreams. There is much more. One caveat here is to be certain that what you experience is not something perfectly normal. You might just need a light bulb, or coins feel out of your pocket or your dream us a regular dream. However, they do often try to let us know that they are alive. We just talk ourselves out of what we can't rationally believe. No matter what, that song is true...your circle can't be broken. Love is eternal. You honor her life by living the best you can. I'm so sorry for your pain.

You're not the same person you were 10 years ago. Physically speaking, you have a different body, different cells. Cells die and regenerate. So what are you really? A soul with flesh and blood.

[@Solacethroughdeath]

I am a Palliative Care/Hospice Nurse, as well as a Death Doula and Grief Coach. I have witnessed many deaths over the course of my 20 years, and all have the same pattern and similar experiences when dying. I know what I have seen on this side of the realm, so it makes sense what they see on the other side just before they die. It is the dying’s own reaction to death that makes me not afraid, makes me aware we are safe during death, and that we continue on in another form. Theo, thank you for this beautiful podcast. Thank you for being open and in tune to this belief, and allowing society to talk about death and not be afraid. Death is beautiful, and I am proud to be a part of the Positive Death Movement ❤️

My mother passed away last December,. I couldn't be with her because I'm in a nursing home, trying to walk again. Anyway, my brother visited our mother the night before she died. She told my brother that our father came to see her. Our father died in 1971, when I was 5, my brother was 11 and our sister was 25. I wasn't surprised because I am a person of faith. I was too.young to understand death when my father died , but I obviously have a real comprehension with the loss of 4 aunts, 4 uncles , 3 cousins and both grandparents on my mother's side. That doesn't make me miss my mother any less.

[@Cicixo16]

I had a NDE and all I remember was purposely having my air taken from me , from someone whom I know., and, all I remember was not even trying to fight back and slowly seeing a white light. It was the most peace I had ever felt in my actual life.. (for more context, the first time it happened in real life, I fought back.. in my dream state, I was sleeping and had ptsd from it, to where I dreamt of it afterwards) by no means am i promoting taking that measure on your own doing..... just stating my personal experience. I absolutely love experiencing life, especially afterwards.

[@Alissah-nicole]

My dad passed when i was 15, and i was really sad and worried about where his soul went and if he was in pain. One night about a week after he died , i had this dream that didnt feel like a dream it felt so real, like i was actually there. All i saw was white and gold light, all around me. I couldnt see my arms or legs just light and i felt the safest ive ever felt in my whole life. It was more peacful than words could ever explain. When i woke up i just layed there wondering what it was, still feeling peacful. And i think that was my dads way of showing me he didn't suffer at all and he was safe.

[@slayer2580]

I had a similar experience with our family dog. She lived a long life, but we unfortunately had to put her down as you have to with most old dogs that are suffering from chronic pain and a failing body. Shortly after her passing, I had a dream that I was playing with her in our back yard on a sunny day. Strangely enough, though, she wasn't the old dog that I had remembered, it seemed as if she had reverted to her younger self as a puppy. No longer was she hobbling around from weakened joints and an old body. She ran back in forth in our backyard with the vigor of a much younger dog. I think this was her way of telling me that she was okay and no longer in pain, and to be happy for her passing. I think the dream world is much more than what it's been reduced to.

[@brandonhemphill5638]

I had a dream with my father maybe a month and a half after he passed as well! I was younger and he was probably in his 30s and looked very healthy, we are driving up this red dirt road both singing should’ve been a cowboy by Toby Keith. But it didn’t feel like a dream at Simp too real and I remember everything still to this day. my girlfriend woke me up and said that I was singing and starting to cry in my dream as I woke up with tears in my eyes. That was two days before Easter, and when I went to Easter and so my dad side of the family, my aunt which would be sleepy his sister and my uncle, his brother both had dreams within a few days of each other And both said the same thing that my dad looked like he was in his 30s and healthy and told them both that everything is going to be OK and he is all right. My uncle said that he was driving with my dad in the passenger seat on a dirt road as well drinking beers. and then my aunt and real life had to go to the doctor to check out this possibly cancer spot in her neck. The night before she had to go she was very nervous and she had a dream where she got to the doctors office and saw my dad facing the opposite way from her. Looking down at some rocks. she went up to him and asked his name Todd is that you? And she said he turned around and was in his 30s as well and she said that he told her not to worry about him and don’t worry about spot in her neck, everything is going to be OK. The fact that my aunt and my uncle all had these dreams about him and the same time frame and he was in his 30s with all three of us basically giving the same message and even writing and a vehicle on a dirt road and mine and my uncle’s dream makes me think that it was a message.

[@brandonhemphill5638]

I feel that your father came to visit you and tell you everything is OK and that is fine the same way my father came and told me. Out of my siblings. I definitely took it the roughest his passing, and I was the closest to him. They say if you can vividly remember and dream that it’s not a dream it’s a message.

About 5 mins later, my sis in law called me and told me my brother passed away. I was so upset/confused/ sad all at one time.

[@V3rnSqwd5611]

When Theo is talking about his DMT trip and says “it’s that the knowledge is suddenly in you.” Is somewhat true, but in my experiences with DMT. I’ve found that the knowledge was within you all along and that you had just forgotten it. There’s this nostalgia with most trips and it feels like you’ve been there many times before. It’s hard to explain but when you’re over there everything makes perfect sense and you see the absolute beauty in it all and what a gift it is. Then when you try and come back and take that information with you, it’s like your mind protects you from the full truth. Kinda like how you can’t remember every detail of a dream. There’s some type of veil of forgetting we go through in this life. I think it’s because our brains are not meant to fathom the reality of god/universe. That it’s so astounding, if we truly understood everything of the divine it would drive our mammal brains to madness. I think this veil of forgetting is suppose to be a gift as a way to enjoy this life to the fullest capacity.

I have had three near-death experiences in my life due to a severe chronic autoimmune disorder that nearly killed me. In all three of them, I was on the verge of dying. Then, 6-12 hours later, after being rushed to the emergency room and receiving surgery, I woke up. It was if that time did not exist at all. It was still very comforting and I do not fear death at all. I didn't exist for the overwhelming majority of however long you are convinced the universe has existed, and I will not exist after my death. My life is the anomaly. My nonexistence is the default state. Dying is like a journey back, like I was a drop of water that was lifted out of the ocean ever-so-temporarily, and then returned to it.

I veered off into that emergency lane and hit that truck staright on. The older guy inside it was alright but my car hit him then spun into oncoming traffic which i got hit again then my car flipped over. I was knocked unconscious and what happened during that time ill never forget. I started to float above my body and seen the whole freeway from my view, i seen myself in the car knocked out, the other guy i hit and other cars and then police and fire trucks and ambulance. I thought to myself this is weird! I felt no pain, a peace that i cannot put into words. When theo and the dr were talking about the infinite knowledge, thats exactly right! Then i heard a strong voice tell me it wasnt my time and that i have work left to do here. Then i was slammed back into my body and that actually hurt. The ambulance took me to the ER and they said i was clinically dead for about a minute and a half. That day changed my life forever. No longer am i a mean person or a liar or a cheat, i take this precious life that God gave me and help others and do good instead of how i used to be. It was a blessing in disguise!

I'm 30 now and don't have any memory of it, but I can just vaguely remember a dream of my father and his blue tractor. My parents still dont understand the dream, neither do I. Just strange I was completely out during my surgery, but had a dream that my legs didnt work anymore (tractor running me over) and then woke up with my legs not working. Crazy.

There are too many factors to it. Describing conversations that were had by doctors when they were flatlined or even in a separate wing …. City or state.

@@BigTexGuitarzit seems we are on very similar paths. You've just made it further down the track than I. Since childhood, I've had trouble believing that anything follows this life. I've felt that when we are done, we are done. Maybe it's just a coping mechanism, but I've found great comfort in that nothingness. Eternal rest seems really nice to me after a tiring and often disappointing go at life. I've been called "negative" and "dark" for vocalizing that, but I never thought of it as a bad thing. I don't have all the answers, and I know I very well may be wrong. I just haven't been able to convince myself otherwise. Your comment (and this video) gives me hope that maybe I HAVE been wrong, and there is a higher consciousness, and maybe even a higher power.

My first memory was when I was around 7 and suddenly a thought came to me, “why are we here instead of pure nothingness?” I mean, existence of anything (universe, life) is unbelievable

This man has done amazing research - my mother had an NDE and I’ve had a dream that felt like an NDE. I felt like I knew everyone, however I never saw any past relatives & pets. But I was told “you’ll love it here one day”… ❤ And no I was not on any hulicigenic / drug.

[@mR-dc4oq]

I have never been comfortable with many things Theo says but I am thoroughly enjoying this interview. Theo is clearly a kind man and a delight. His kindness is what comes through so strongly. I find myself so happy to hear him in this format.

[@mattyp6908]

Theo has always been the best but tonight, his questions were SO on point. I don’t think anyone could have interviewed Dr. Long any better.

[@Uarehere]

Still trying to figure out that Busch Gardens question though 😂

[@chels11327]

Tomorrow is the 3 year anniversary of my dads passing. Thanks Theo! I needed this right now

[@sarahbarra3501]

"You ever been to Busch gardens?" I feel like I'm 1 of 20 people that felt that 💚

[@chaparralchic4028]

Car crash NDE in the middle of the desert in Cali… I rejected that tunnel and bright light. I remember immediately feeling like I didn’t want or accept that place. I don’t remember the impact of the actual accident but it showed me how much I love being alive. Still alive ❤

“The world thinks back at you” is a great way of explaining a lot of psychedelic spiritual experiences.

[@driftingdandelion]

yup

[@Waters-Crystal.Waters.]

Seriously- yes!

[@ladyburgg]

My son has leukaemia he is only 5 and hearing the description of what people see when they pass I sobbed like a baby .

[@jbandzz2389]

Couldn’t imagine I to have a 5 year old son and daughter and they are my world ! Prayers for you and your boy I pray god heals his body!!🙏🏽 But yes hearing about it is astonishing couldn’t imagine it but same time you kind of can’t wait to ! And it’s good to know there is no sadness for that human but truly happiness! And just knowing we will see our loved ones again

[@danieltaylor1784]

I'm sorry for your pain. God bless 🙏

[@valeriab9735]

I rarely share this, but when I got saved I was so grateful I would weep and cry before the Lord constantly for hours I would just worship him and thank him I was so incredibly grateful and one time I had been worshiping him for hours almost 4 hours. When all of a sudden I was in heaven and the beauty the flowers I saw are nothing like you see here and the air literally made this almost like a tingling sound it was almost musical I could hear it very faint I don't know what kind of instrument it could have been but it was incredible and then I was back in my body and worshiping the Lord. It truly is beautiful and full of a kind of love that you've never experienced before that's so overwhelming that floods over your soul

[@KL-fn7xs]

Please keep the faith and search for alternative treatments like CAR-T, young children beat it almost in 98 percent of cases. I am sure your precious child will recover. Bless you both

[@Freedom-2BME]

I had a nde when I was 17, I experienced the most loving presence I was totally immersed with and part of… like I imagine the LOVE of a divine presence ❤🙏

[@NicolaReid-kx7rg]

I've been an addict for 27yrs now i was clean for 10yrs but after losing my 19yr old daughter, fiancée of 16yrs & Nana (the only mother I've ever had) i relapsed & I'm struggling & seems that i can't get the help to get clean again & deal with all the trauma since childhood which is extensive. I'm just about at the end of my tether. I can't take much more, 1 step forward & 10 steps back. I love the fact that people have got through this horrible affliction as what people don't understand is that it's not a choice it's an illness. Well done, heartfelt wishes & keep up the good work 👏 ❤️

[@Youtubesucks777]

Keep telling yourself that or chose to face the wreckage head on. Don't run away, run foward

[@tippieyanez8289]

The Doctor's demeanor is so calm, humble, kind, loving despite his obvious intelligence, experience,and wisdom. Almost as if he also had an nde and just has that peaceful knowing. Love the ayahuasca experience from Theo. Its like watching a father and a son talking to each other lovgingly..

[@TopDoggg]

Theo is so unique with his podcast. He just does whatever he's interested in and it's always a hit

[@DDDDdJagr]

Yeah. Good observation 7 years later!!!!!

[@kristinageorge2944]

Dr. is the sweetest soul and his reactions to Theo were absolutely adorable. Loved this episode, can’t wait to check out his book.

[@deborah.s.nelsonauthor-boo4684]

Beautiful conversation. Example of a perfect conversation which allows each other to speak freely and respectfully.

[@adriennef4637]

I've had multiple NDE's from gastric artery bleedouts, twisted necrotic bowels, malnutrition/dehydration. I'm all messed up inside. I've also had out of body experiences, ayahuasca, amanita, & Marijuana experiences. I could talk til the end of my days and not be able to accurately depict everything I've experienced. None of the doctors and specialists know how I'm still alive, and neither do I until I'm in that place of all knowing. All I long for every day is to go back there.

[@E-Kat]

I'm so terribly sorry for all your health problems and the suffering you must've gone through during and prior to this all. It's particularly upsetting to hear about the malnutrition!!! What sort of world do we live in to allow this to happen ?😭 Pretty messed up world, isn't it? It's so upsetting to read your comment but it's completely remarkable that you're still here indeed! Please take a good care of yourself Sending you my love ❤🤗

[@E-Kat]

Maybe one day you could share your NDEs with everyone? 😊

[@pbro8139]

Theo, I am a 57 year old woman and I just adore your podcasts. I’ve learned so much through the guests that you have brought on and I’m so grateful for all that you do. What’s so funny is that I didn’t even know you were comedian, lol!! I’ve only found you through the podcast, so news to me. Like you I’ve done Ayahuasca multiple times, and I swear by it. It was a gift to me to clear out some horrific events that occurred my life through childhood!! I recommend it to anybody that wants to try to, remove some pain and suffering quickly versus going through years and years and years and years of therapy. Keep rocking it out dude.💕💕

[@user-ll1xo2gf5q]

I'm glad you have found this podcasts. Enjoy!

[@patrickswinehart9306]

Love how he moves Theo along…. “Well Anyway”

[@KetoGalAnn]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JulieeeB]

When he said that, I cackled. 😆❤️

[@jeffreycaron6985]

I had a really short near death experience. I did an oxy pill. Remember falling asleep. Out of nowhere I'm out of my body. The crazy thing is I didn't recognize my body at first. The minute I started recognizing my body I came back alive and woke up and was in total shock.

[@sarahgomez6740]

After a very serious accident i was involved in i had a NDE. I experienced the most peaceful, loving, warm, greatest atmosphere you'd ever want to be in. I was not on any chemical med or alcohol at the time, completely sober but I knew i was dieing, I slipped away, I had no fear just the greatest loving comfort ever. Changed my life❤

[@DMTsanto]

I’m loving these comments. Rare to see consistent love and intelligence in a comment section these days. Speaks to who Theo attracts in his discourse with different guests. Well done.

[@shrunkensimon]

Truth facing dialogue is kryptonite to the borg hivemimd types. No branches to hang fear on.

[@marcuslopez7302]

​@@shrunkensimonI don't know why but I love that last sentence.

[@wofyt340]

it’s all right under our noses. we seek and seek for knowledge. we are light tethered into a human vessel, experiencing life. unconditional love.

[@peaceonearth351]

It's all energy. The Universe is all about sharing energy.

[@YakmonSaysItLikeItIs]

Read the Bible. It plugs in so much.

[@AM-oj5xl]

Yes, you have the Bible to thank for it.

[@lild3athdevil]

My mom always told me growing up that when she gave birth to me they had to do a emergency c-section and she nearly died, she said she floated above herself while they operated on her, saw them taking care of me and in the hallway my dad was sitting on the ground with his hands holding his head. I’m glad she didn’t die then, I’m grateful for the 21 years I got with ya momma❤

[@user-ig5oy7kp5g]

I died at 9 years old, I had an operation to remove my tonsils, the cut a vein I was bleeding very bad I convulsed, swallowed my tongue had tho pump the blood out I was drowning in my own blood. And at the time that was happening, remember from the time on the operating table my memory started going backwards Like a movie everything evry moment of my life going back, back until the first memory . And I felt a source of love and energy,but the love here from my family my dog it pulled me back into this world. Ever I have extreme lucid dreaming I can see and interact with all of the people people in my life that have passed ,even strangers it's one of the most satisfying and beautiful things in my life 🌌

[@Handlethis_im_pootietang]

It's not possible to swallow your own tongue unless you cut it off and serve it to yourself

[@mswi2650]

ADHD not OCD, his mind literally cannot stay on topic!😂 ​@verticegirferd5069

[@abbieholyday4813]

I loved that bit so much! It was so so random!

[@johnvisconti3542]

I mean he was more well behaved than usual. Made sense though, them sketchy rides make me feel like I’m pretty close to death. 😂

[@TannerWiggins]

You post I click. I'm a simple man
