I can still recall those days years ago when my life seemed perfectly anchored in routine and fulfillment I worked in
0:07
the Seattle region thriving in a role that allowed me to meet and guide youth who needed structure and support my
0:15
background in the probation system led me to serve at the county level a position that offered both challenges
0:21
and rewards every morning I would thread my way through City traffic find my spot
0:27
in the bustling employee parking lot and head into the County Juvenile Court eager to tackle the day's tasks I
0:34
relished the responsibility of supervising a group of dedicated individuals who like me yearned to see
0:41
young lives turn around and Sparkle with hope King County is well known for its Rich diversity working there exposed me
0:48
to countless stories of resilience and adversity and I often felt that I was not merely a supervisor but a listener
0:55
and a guide the daily workload of ensuring appointments administrative tasks and behind the scenes problem
1:02
solving seemed like second nature my step-by-step approach often involved shedding light on how to take the next
1:08
small positive action many times that next small thing was all it took to
1:13
transform a life or prevent a child from spiraling down a destructive path I used
1:19
to call it my easy method for shifting someone's Focus from negativity to a sliver of optimism it often felt like
1:26
not just a job but a calling one I believed I would continue until my last breath I was so devoted that I honestly
1:34
thought I'd never leave yet none of us truly know when Destiny might throw an unexpected wrench into our plans and
1:41
that is precisely what happened to me on a day I now remember more vividly than any other the day everything changed on
1:48
that day May 5th of a year etched into my memory I found myself dealing with a
1:53
recurring but familiar medical challenge I had been prone to kidney stones for some time so when that sharp
2:00
unmistakable pain visited me again I believed I could endure it with my usual strategies I thought to myself give this
2:08
a few hours it'll pass just like every other one my personal tutorial for dealing with kidney stones usually
2:15
involved hydration a bit of rest and bracing myself until the wave of discomfort receded but to my dismay this
2:22
ordeal refused to go away intensifying more and more until I conceded that a hospital visit might be the only
2:29
feasible option driving to the emergency room offered me no relief I tried my
2:34
best to focus on the road but the pain forced me to pause at every red light and grit my teeth by the time I handed
2:41
my ID and necessary paperwork at the reception desk I could hardly keep my thoughts coherent nevertheless I managed
2:48
to stand upright stifle my groans and relay the same old story I had repeated in past hospital visits I believe
2:56
there's a stone lodged somewhere inside me medical staff ushered me to a small curtained section similar to countless
3:03
times before their standard step-by-step routine was to administer pain relief
3:08
morphine to be precise I expected the same scenario morphine would do its
3:13
trick the acute pangs would fade and I would feel my muscles relax as I breathed again without wincing however
3:20
this time a curveball entered the picture not only did I have a kidney stone acting up but I also had an
3:26
accompanying kidney infection unbeknownst to me that infection was already more stubborn than any standard
3:32
antibiotic could handle the doctors wanting to be cautious admitted me overnight for observation they gave me
3:39
antibiotics and carefully scheduled me for surgery the next day intending to break up the Troublesome Stones
3:46
everything sounded like a typical medical routine and I expected to be discharged soon after returning to my
3:53
daily responsibilities and the life I cherished what none of us realized was
3:58
that the antibiotic regimen I received wasn't enough to address the complexity of the infection when the medical team
4:06
successfully fragmented the stones they inadvertently released toxic material into my
4:11
bloodstream my body responded in shock and I quickly plummeted into sepsis a
4:17
critical life-threatening condition that can shut down every organ if not halted
4:22
and in my case it progressed so rapidly that my system collapsed according to the records my
4:29
heart stopped my breathing halted my kidneys and other organs flicked off like light switches in a darkening
4:36
hallway for an hour and 45 minutes by various medical definitions I was
4:42
clinically gone the hospital staff documented it in precise language and Stark Detail no pulse unresponsive no
4:50
measurable oxygen intake that's the side of the story that lives in official reports spelled out in black ink yet
4:57
there is another side one that cannot be rendered into technical data my Consciousness my soul or whatever
5:04
descriptor one assigns to the essence of who we are separated from my physical form I experienced a transition that
5:12
occurred so seamlessly it still astonishes me in a split second I
5:17
recognized I was dying but to my surprise I did not feel overpowering dread I had often considered the
5:24
possibility that when people feel their end approaching they might cry out in Terror or cling desperately to life but
5:31
in that pivotal moment all I could sense was a curious determination I whispered
5:36
inwardly I'm leaving I'm going home with that quiet acceptance I felt myself slip
5:42
free from the confines of my body if you ask for a how-to guide on describing outof body experiences it's practically
5:49
impossible to compress into neat bullet points or a tutorial it is more like a swift Detachment as if gravity
5:56
momentarily lost track of me I recall ascending as though I were traveling up through layers of the hospital floors
6:03
roofs Rafters the speed was confounding far quicker than any everyday motion my
6:09
mind raced to find meaning in the abrupt sense of Liberation then I recalled something I had read about how at the
6:15
moment of death one might transition instantaneously to another realm in my
6:21
case it truly felt that rapid by the time I could process the event I was no
6:26
longer constrained by the building or even the sky above it I sped Into Darkness a vast stretch reminiscent of
6:33
outer space and I had impressions of distant stars or Cosmic lights passing in a blur the sensation was exhilarating
6:40
though also surreal it was as if I had discovered a trending now phenomenon traveling faster than a mere blink my
6:47
confusion mixed with Wonder was this real or was it just a fleeting hallucination brought on by fading brain
6:54
signals yet I felt extraordinarily present and Alive more so than at any time had roamed the Earth in my nearly
7:01
completed existence suddenly I glimpsed a Radiance in front of me it wasn't just
7:06
a point at the end of a tunnel but something broader more akin to a luminous window the Brilliance emanating
7:13
from it seemed gently inviting as though it promised warmth without scolding my
7:18
whole being yearned to move closer the darkness around me held no Menace it was
7:23
simply the absence that made the light so captivating a sense of relief CED
7:29
through me removing every anxious thought I had ever nurtured when I crossed what I can only term the
7:35
threshold into that illuminated domain an overwhelming calm settled over me
7:41
imagine a space where nothing is crooked Out Of Tune or discordant everything
7:46
felt perfectly aligned like Creation in its best form this was no tutorial on
7:52
relaxation techniques or mindful breathing it was pure unfiltered peace
7:58
sinking into every layer of my Consciousness in that breathtaking moment I realized just how unanchored I
8:05
had felt during my everyday life on Earth I had never noticed that sense of dissonance until it was suddenly gone
8:12
here in this realm I sensed a cosmic welcome the atmosphere seemed to impart
8:18
we are genuinely thrilled you've arrived there were colors shapes natural elements trees flowers streams and so
8:25
much more that exuded a feeling of acceptance I'm not talking solely about
8:30
the presence of a Divine figure everything vibrated with a purposeful invitation as though all creation
8:36
existed to celebrate anyone who entered the trees themselves swayed with joyful
8:41
greetings the flowers glowed with affectionate energy I was flooded with the impression that all of existence
8:48
there eagerly embraced me celebrating that I had finally stepped into their domain amid that Wonder a new desire
8:56
blazed within me more than simply wanting to bask in this environment I
9:01
longed to find the very being responsible for it there was a conviction deep in my spirit that I
9:07
needed to see the Lord of this realm face to face I had never before known the intensity of that longing on Earth
9:15
religious beliefs gave me a conceptual framework of meeting a divine presence but now it wasn't intellectual or
9:21
abstract it was a tangible all consuming impulse I recall noticing a cluster of
9:27
tall trees in the distance like a Green Forest something in me recognized that
9:32
the one I sought was beyond those towering trunks unhesitatingly I moved
9:37
forward weaving among the branches to say I walked would be inaccurate it was
9:42
more like gliding propelled by a perfect sense that I was heading in the right direction along the way I got the
9:49
feeling that the entire forest was cheering me on he's going to find the one who Reigns here my every step
9:56
carried an indescribable anticipa shinin into an Unstoppable wave when I emerged
10:02
from the tree line I discovered a vast clearing open and wide beyond anything I
10:07
had encountered in Mortal life at one side I saw multitudes at first glance an
10:14
uncountable crowd that seemed a blending of angelic and human figures yet my
10:19
attention riveted to a focal point slightly off center there stood a figure exuding pure light speaking to those
10:27
gathered my heart if I can can call it that trembled in reverence I knew
10:32
precisely who this was this was the divine presence I had yearned for all my life though I might not have realized
10:39
the depth of that yearning until this exact moment approaching him I felt
10:45
Unworthy of standing fully my instincts told me to bend down so I dropped to my
10:50
hands and knees gazing from floor level seeing only the sides of those radiant
10:55
feet there was something so compellingly loving about him that I found no place for worry or guilt though I was utterly
11:02
aware that I owed everything to him in my Earthly life I had read or heard phrases about gratitude and Redemption
11:10
but now it was personal to an overwhelming degree as if the entire Narrative of my existence was wrapped up
11:16
in this single moment I felt a torrent of thankfulness surge up inside me words
11:21
of gratitude tumbled out in Rapid succession an unending Avalanche of thank you thank you thank you my
11:29
Consciousness knew that all of who I was all that I had done and even the chance to be willful on Earth was overshadowed
11:36
by this one's Indescribable Mercy I realized that the only reason I was in that realm was because he had opened a
11:43
way for me the logic was simple yet overwhelming I did nothing to earn this
11:49
he just made it possible out of a depth of love that began long before I had mortal
11:54
awareness eventually I lifted my eyes letting my gaze Traverse upward W every
12:00
segment of his being emanated love I glimpsed the reflection of that love in every detail in textures that reminded
12:07
me of hands knees or a face when at last our eyes met the Adoration I felt was
12:14
matched only by the acceptance on his part it seemed he examined me as though I had never done a single wrong it
12:21
wasn't that he overlooked everything it was that in his presence all mistakes were absent from the record for a time
12:28
which felt both Fleet and infinite I reveled in this connection my notion of how our personal histories linger in a
12:34
cosmic database no longer existed here I discovered a new dimension of forgiveness one that quite literally
12:41
forgot offenses emotional burdens were replaced by an unmistakable sense of
12:46
Eternity I felt with profound certainty that I would exist forever and that his
12:52
love was more enduring still and then abruptly but compassionately he informed
12:57
me it was not my time it was a statement of authority not a request I had to leave I remember
13:05
acceptance washing over me as though every bit of me recognized that my journey on Earth was not over with a
13:11
subdued nod I departed stepping away from him suddenly I realized I still
13:17
possessed the freedom to explore instead of going back along the same path I found I could travel above the forest as
13:24
though gravity no longer constrained me that sense of movement without fear was
13:29
extraordinary a behind the scenes vantage point that carried no danger I glided above the highest branches
13:37
scanning a Countryside that sparkled with unimaginable vibrancy in One Direction I witnessed scenes that
13:43
reminded me of rolling mountains except these mountains seemed fluid alive and
13:48
shimmering as though they breathed in rhythm with the realm on Earth it would be considered impossible for giant land
13:55
forms to move about like waves in an ocean but here it felt entirely natural
14:01
this new environment opened up step-by-step wonders each more astonishing than the last I remember
14:08
absorbing every detail with childlike Fascination yet the attraction of returning to the presence of that
14:14
radiant figure pulled me back to that clearing once more I repeated the same humble posture bowing close to his feet
14:22
again he shared something profound with me an exchange of insight I can only call a direct download into my spe
14:29
Spirit as though knowledge was transferred into me at a level Beyond simple words no textbooks no
14:35
conventional tutorial could compare with the clarity I gained once again he
14:40
reaffirmed that my time in his realm was up the second time he said it I was more
14:46
aware of it surprisingly it still did not fill me with panic though I did feel
14:51
a Pang of regret at leaving when I stepped away I hovered at the boundary from where I had first emerged peering
14:58
out beyond that perimeter I observed that passage back to Earth I felt
15:03
ambivalent my body was apparently not ready I could sense it might still be in a state of dire distress that
15:10
realization thrilled me oddly enough because it suggested that maybe I could stay a bit longer so I adjusted my
15:17
course drifting away from the forest to the right side discovering a landscape defined by flowing bodies of water a
15:25
network of rivers and oceans that Shone with vibrant hues surpassing any color palette I'd known the blues greens and
15:33
swirling tones were mesmerizing I witnessed living creatures that seemed a fusion of aquatic Grace
15:39
and Heavenly Essence some might dismiss this as imagination but in that moment
15:45
everything was strikingly authentic I found myself enthralled by the fluid Artistry of creation there eventually
15:53
though the pull toward him again became irresistible I circled back noticing a
15:59
group of individuals that I somehow recognized ancestors loved ones from Earth who had once walked among us but
16:05
had arrived in this place first they too radiated Joy beyond measure
16:11
irrepressible shining with a peace that encompassed every corner of their being
16:16
their features were familiar yet transformed reflecting the eternal life that pulsed through them I recognized
16:24
grandparents and extended relatives who I never thought would be here some had faced struggles in their human lives and
16:32
I had assumed they wouldn't meet any standard of Faith or connection and yet here they stood living Testaments to a
16:39
mercy larger than my limited assumptions I have since realized that every person's journey is unique there
16:46
are best practices for living a spiritual life but at the heart of it all the acceptance that truly mattered
16:52
was outside the narrow lines I had drawn in that moment I felt undone by the
16:58
generosity of Grace seeing that Hearts I presumed had been hardened were in this new light softened Beyond
17:05
imagination this family gathering was no half measure they welcomed me in with jubilant
17:11
exclamations some of them I only recognized from old photographs or because I felt an innate kinship
17:17
bridging multiple Generations imagine a top 10 strategies list of how to host
17:22
the warmest most perfect reunion and multiply that by Infinity that is how it
17:28
felt Unstoppable exuberant so thick with love that it was palpable the phrase
17:34
blood is thicker than water felt trivial compared to the Deep Unity that bound us
17:40
yet as astonishing as it was to reunite with them my eyes kept drifting back to the Luminous figure my heart yearned to
17:47
remain near him then came the third time he spoke that firm statement it's not
17:52
your time yet for all its Authority it carried a gentle undertone of wise
17:58
purpose my presence was needed elsewhere creation seemed to step aside as though
18:03
giving space for me to respond I felt like a soldier receiving an order no
18:09
hostility simply a Resolute acceptance yes I need to return one of my dear
18:15
relatives someone who had played a motherly role looked directly at me at that moment it felt as though everyone
18:22
else in the crowd stepped back leaving her as the representative she expressed something profound in her eyes and in
18:29
her gentle words bring as many of us back with you as you can her meaning was
18:34
unmistakable she wanted me to share this reality to inspire Hearts to seek the same invitation the sense of
18:41
responsibility hit me deeply I understood I was being sent back with an assignment without further delay I bowed
18:48
again before the Blazing presence allowing that last moment to sear itself into my memory his face his compassion
18:55
and the warmth that poured over me like sunlight then I turned and moved to that
19:01
departure point it was as if I stepped off a ledge into an invisible passage leading back to Earth my next conscious
19:08
awareness was hovering above a hospital bed medical staff had begun to pack up and finalize the paperwork presumably
19:15
marking the time I had been pronounced gone hushed voices indicated they were preparing to remove equipment
19:22
Contraptions beeped softly and the overhead lights cast a sterile glow upon the entire scene it was was surreal to
19:29
watch the entire scenario from what felt like a vantage point near the ceiling then in a gentle swirl of motion I
19:36
reconnected with my body a wave of heaviness enveloped me I heard the abrupt alarm sounding as my vitals
19:43
suddenly appeared again on the monitors the beep beep beep of a Reviving heart
19:48
rate the medical professionals scrambled with frantic energy inserting tubes
19:53
calling out instructions it was a step-by-step emergency response that might have made for the ultimate guide
20:00
in handling the unexpected Resurgence of a patient who had previously flatlined
20:05
my eyelids fluttered though I couldn't open them fully amid the sedation in that moment conflicting
20:12
emotions raged inside me I felt an unshakable sadness at having to leave that place yet there was also an odd
20:19
sense of purpose intensifying within me I knew I was back for a reason even if
20:24
my human mind could scarcely grasp the full scope recovery from a near fatal
20:29
septic shock was no small matter I spent many days in the ICU drifting between
20:35
hazy sedation and disjointed Clarity doctors and nurses told me how astonishing my turnaround was nobody had
20:43
expected me to survive such extensive organ failure let alone open my eyes and regain awareness but although my
20:50
physical body was weak my spirit felt newly charged with an amplitude of understanding I had never known before
20:57
over time the medical medical staff helped me rebuild strength they skillfully navigated me through
21:03
Physiotherapy and countless checkups it was a tutorial in resilience both
21:08
physical and psychological step by step I learned the best practices for healing
21:14
focusing on nutrition staying hydrated abiding by medication schedules and
21:19
resting sufficiently day by day my muscles reclaimed lost mass and my lungs
21:25
found a steadier Rhythm but the Transformations went far beyond the purely physical my worldview had changed
21:32
forever many of the things I once labeled emergencies a car breaking down
21:37
a stressful day at the office or the pressure to keep up with the latest trends now seemed trivial through my new
21:44
lens I came to see life from an eternal perspective where the fleeting concerns
21:49
that once dominated my thoughts were overshadowed by an incomparable sense of peace that I had tasted as the weeks
21:57
Advanced my loved ones noticed the differences in me I was more at peace more patient and noticeably less
22:04
reactive I had no desire to cling to possessions or grudges when little annoyances arose I felt them slide off
22:11
me like raindrops rather than sink into my skin though I wouldn't claim to have achieved some perfect spiritual State I
22:18
was still Human After All I recognized a definite shift in my interior posture
22:23
there was also a new impetus to share my experience not as a means of drawing attention to myself but to fulfill that
22:30
calling bring as many as possible I found that people were curious about
22:35
what I had gone through some wanted a step-by-step explanation but it was and
22:41
still is challenging to put into neat bite-sized pieces people would ask how
22:46
do you know it was real or could it have been a dream or what's the Ultimate Guide to replicating what happened I
22:54
would smile and try to describe the transformation in my heart the CL ity I felt about not being separated from love
23:01
even in death and the trust that had replaced my old anxieties by focusing on the personal
23:07
testimony of what I had seen and felt I aimed to answer their queries with sincerity rather than a scientific
23:14
formula in moments of reflection I still Envision that realm with its lavish colors and vibrant Flora the welcoming
23:21
trees the moving mountains and the shimmering Waters along with the exuberant family members who greeted me
23:27
like a triumphant return ER E I recall the intangible knowledge I gained in the Master's presence a direct infusion of
23:34
truth that no textbook Theory can replicate and of course I remember the
23:39
Heartbreak of leaving that perfect place and the relief in discovering I had been called back for a purpose returning to
23:46
day-to-day routines was an adjustment my job responsibilities at least for a time
23:52
had to be delegated while I recovered when I was well enough to resume work I returned with a deeper conviction to to
23:58
help others see beyond the surface of their problems it was like having an arsenal of expert tips for communicating
24:04
empathy listening first speaking softly and meeting people where they were
24:09
especially those troubled youngsters who possessed a spark of hope under layers of Despair my personal capacity for
24:17
patience skyrocketed since I understood that each individual is on a journey that neither I nor anyone else can fully
24:24
see I found that this experience also Drew people to me and unexpected ways
24:30
colleagues some of whom were skeptical of anything remotely spiritual approached me with Myriad questions what
24:37
exactly did you see did you really meet a Divine figure are you absolutely sure
24:42
your Consciousness continued even when your heart had flatlined I did my best to convey the
24:48
truth I experienced acknowledging that words can only approximate that reality
24:53
my motivation wasn't to start debates but to convey the love I had encountered
24:58
at home my relationships underwent a major transformation I was more intentional about telling my close
25:05
friends and family how much I cherished them I thought about that grandmotherly figure who had urged me to bring as many
25:11
back as I could this Mission wasn't about forming an exclusive club or imposing beliefs but about radiating a
25:19
sense of welcome and compassion so that people would know love is bigger than our frailties my best practices for
25:25
everyday living now included unconditional kind Ness letting go of the past and savoring each minute of
25:32
precious existence over time I also realized that healing from the trauma of nearly dying
25:38
involves psychological and emotional challenges there were nights I woke up with a start haunted by fragments of old
25:45
pain or flashing monitors in the ICU yet I found solace in recalling the
25:50
powerful love I experienced it served as my anchor reminding me that although my
25:55
body was fragile my Essence was secure in a reality far stronger and everlasting the shift away from clinging
26:03
to material possessions was notable it wasn't that I discarded everything in my life but my grip loosened considerably I
26:11
found joy in giving in supporting charitable causes in stepping aside so others could take the spotlight my
26:18
perspective on consumer culture and the viral hacks we see promoted all over the Internet changed I recognized their
26:25
fleeting nature sure I still enjoyed some aspects of modern life it's not
26:31
about escaping Society but I remained calmly detached from the urgency that once ruled me friends sometimes teased
26:38
me about going from a workaholic to a philosophical dreamer however I
26:43
discovered a balance I was perfectly able to continue fulfilling my responsibilities but with a sense of
26:50
peace that baffled those who still expected me to crumble under pressure I could face a crisis at work with calm
26:56
eyes thinking yes this needs fixing but it's not the end of the world even the
27:02
latest trends in job performance or organizational structures didn't stir my anxiety the way they once had if a new
27:09
procedure was introduced I would approach it with dedication but the fear of not measuring up no longer existed
27:16
and so I progressed day by day carrying the memory of that other place like a Hidden Gem in my heart in public
27:23
settings whenever people ask for the behind the-scenes story of my ordeal I found ways to gently weave in details
27:30
without overwhelming them if it was a top 10 strategies talk about personal transformation I might mention my
27:37
newfound emphasis on compassion gratitude and living each day with intention if it was a tutorial at work
27:44
about emotional resilience I'd share a story or two that hinted at the deeper well of Peace available to anyone I
27:51
believed that in time the seeds planted in Open Hearts would Blossom as they encountered their own experiences in
27:57
life reflecting on that luminous realm I realized that the Pinnacle of that entire Journey was the presence of its
28:05
king of course the setting was magnificent the just rightness of every blade of grass the electrifying colors
28:12
the Unstoppable Joy but it was all overshadowed by the presence of the one whose love permeated my very being it
28:19
taught me that the essence of heaven isn't merely a place it is Union with a person whose boundless acceptance
28:25
transcends any concept we can form here on Earth such a revelation made me re-evaluate
28:30
nearly every aspect of my life from how I treat strangers to how I spend my free
28:36
time to how I respond to the Heartbreak or Injustice that still exists around me
28:41
on particularly tough days when work was demanding or personal setbacks arose I
28:47
would close my eyes for a moment and recall that sense of cosmic acceptance It's amazing how it can Infuse any
28:54
environment with renewed patience and kindness just remember ing the Resonance of those forest trees greeting me saying
29:01
yes you're here and we're delighted was enough to put my modern-day stresses in perspective one might call it an easy
29:08
method for realigning priorities in my conversations with others who have also had near-death experiences or glimpses
29:16
of something Beyond I found a shared language we each had these deeply personal intervals that defy typical
29:23
explanation yet we recognize the universal thread of peace and love an in such
29:29
encounters even across different cultures or belief backgrounds people often speak of being engulfed by an
29:35
inexplicable warmth and acceptance perhaps that is the biggest behind the scenes truth the tapestry of Life
29:42
extends infinitely in directions we only begin to comprehend when our daily Illusions fall away since returning I
29:50
have had countless one-on-one dialogues with friends acquaintances and even strangers intrigued by what I have to
29:57
say some folks approached me with a burning need to know how to carefully craft their own spiritual path seeking
30:04
an ultimate guide that might replicate my story others wanted step-by-step
30:09
instructions for safeguarding themselves from the unknown while I can't provide an exact formula I focus on the same
30:16
underlying principles Embrace love value relationships and recognize that you are
30:22
cherished more deeply than you might ever imagine for individuals struggling with fear of mortality I've tried to be
30:30
a living example that the final breath on this planet need not be an end filled with Terror meeting that boundary was
30:36
like stepping through a doorway into a grander space one so full of radiant life that it made everything on Earth
30:43
feel like a shadow by comparison of course this doesn't diminish the importance of living responsibly and
30:50
celebrating each day granted to us here rather it amplifies the meaning knowing
30:56
what awaits has motivated me to be more committed to impacting the world in a positive way whether that's championing
31:02
a cause extending kindness to a neighbor or offering hope to someone on the brink of Despair over time I wrote down my
31:11
Reflections pages and Pages describing the textures the lights the emotional
31:16
vibrations of what I encountered I realized that words no matter how lavish
31:21
fall short of the actual experience still journaling turned into a beneficial process in enabling me to map
31:28
out the entire event in my own mind integrating it into normal life it was
31:34
like a personal howto on Bridging the spiritual Dimension with the routines of everyday existence though I had never
31:40
been particularly skilled at journaling it became a Lifeline for expressing my New Perspective in a structured fashion
31:47
interactions at Social Gatherings have also evolved I used to be more reserved
31:52
now if I overhear someone mention the fear of passing away or grieving over the loss of loved one I quietly tune in
32:00
ready to offer a piece of the Comfort I carry within me even a simple statement like I've seen something that convinces
32:07
me we are never truly lost can create a space for connection people might want
32:12
to hear the story and if they do I share it in the most heartfelt way I can
32:17
ensuring I represent the message Faithfully without trying to sensationalize it persistent physical
32:24
ailments still crop up now and again a reminder that my body was severely tested by the sepsis ordeal doctors
32:31
continue to keep a close watch on how my organs function however the sense of internal wholeness remains unwavering
32:39
nothing can erase the memory of that place no cynicism no medical analysis that tries to reduce everything to Mere
32:46
chemicals firing in a dying brain I was entirely present and cognizant in that
32:51
realm more so than in any prior event in my life since recovering I've been
32:57
invited to speak speak in various settings Community Halls Faith Gatherings and small groups Desiring a
33:03
behind the scenes glimpse into an encounter that challenges the boundary of life and the afterlife in these
33:09
spaces I share the lessons of expanded love the urgent call to spread compassion and the absolute certainty
33:16
that no one is beyond Redemption the question and answer segments often become emotional with tears confessions
33:23
of regret and expressions of hope each time I feel reaffirmed that returning
33:29
was indeed for a purpose otherwise I would still be in that realm of flawless peace some have criticized or questioned
33:37
my account of course isn't it just a hallucination where is your proof but I
33:42
respond calmly understanding that skepticism is natural each person must find their own path to truth I simply
33:50
relay the realness I experienced emphasizing that the transformation in my character my worldview and my daily
33:57
life is itself s a testimony I know I'm not the same individual who left that operating table years ago I carry a
34:04
renewed Soul shaped by an encounter with Limitless love and I hold no bitterness towards people who can't accept that
34:11
additionally I have found that humor remains essential after all when you've literally dropped dead and come back
34:17
everyday inconveniences can sometimes seem comically trivial a coworker might be panicking over a missed deadline but
34:24
I can muster a reassuring grin we'll figure it out stress doesn't have the same hold on me I see every obstacle as
34:32
an opportunity to flow with Grace is that a guaranteed viral hack for happier
34:37
living perhaps but it's real for me and I share it openly year by year I
34:43
continue to process these Revelations I age I learn new things I witness cycles
34:49
of regrowth both in nature and within my own personal history I've embraced the
34:54
pursuit of Holiness not as a rigid checklist but as a blossoming desire to remain aligned with that love anytime I
35:01
falter remembering that gaze of total acceptance sets me back on course it's
35:07
an evolving how-to for Spiritual Living based on sincerity rather than Dogma
35:12
relationships with my closest friends and family have flourished in new ways while differences of opinion still arise
35:19
the undercurrent of Love overshadowing disagreements remains strong I no longer fear emotional vulnerability I attempt
35:27
to be trans arent about my Joys and Sorrows trusting that authenticity Fosters deeper connections people in
35:33
turn often open up about their hidden pain or undisclosed hopes this Dynamic
35:39
at home and in the workplace reveals that in our Essence we are all searching for purpose acceptance and the
35:45
reassurance that we matter I have learned that life can indeed shift in an instant Health can fail storms can blow
35:53
our security away but there's a deeper ground that remains unshaken knowing that I survived such an extreme medical
36:00
catastrophe only to be greeted by a force of unblemished Love on the other side has convinced me that even the
36:06
darkest moments in this world cannot extinguish that radiant hope my mission
36:12
is to share that perspective freely to demonstrate empathy and to encourage individuals never to give up you are
36:19
more loved than you realize I want to remind them and whatever you're enduring in this Mortal life it is a mere Shadow
36:26
compared to the endless light awaiting you in day-to-day life I remain mindful
36:32
that not everyone resonates with the spiritual dimension for some the mechanical nature of existence is enough
36:39
work responsibilities short Pleasures but I also sense that behind every stoic
36:45
face lies a longing for deeper meaning we want to know we belong that we're
36:50
safe and that our story doesn't end with a last ragged breath we want to promise
36:56
that we'll see our loved ones again again that the mistakes of our past won't Define us and that healing is
37:01
possible on levels beyond the physical I believe that is exactly what I glimpsed
37:07
a home we scarcely dare imagine sometimes my colleagues laugh and point out that I never pass up an
37:13
opportunity to mention my near-death Journey but it's not about bragging I simply carry an inner glow that refuses
37:20
to be dimmed a message bursting to be delivered Perhaps it is The Ultimate
37:25
Guide to witnessing life's challenges with new new eyes each scenario that tests me becomes a chance to cultivate
37:32
Compassion or exercise patience where once I would blame others or retreat in
37:37
frustration I'm more apt now to see beyond the surface asking myself is there a lesson of love in this situation
37:45
how can I reflect even a small fraction of the acceptance I received over time I
37:50
expanded my personal reflection into creative Outlets I might paint images inspired by the Luminous forests I saw
37:58
or write poems about the Living Waters that glowed with sapphire intensity sometimes I incorporate these
38:05
mediums into small group sessions inviting participants to visualize A Realm unbounded by fear or sorrow I
38:13
discovered that for many artistic expression can open doors to the spiritual realm without the limitations
38:19
of logic after all is there a more direct tutorial for connecting to the heart than creativity and
38:26
Imagination I've been asked countless times did your experience teach you how to never fear death in some ways yes it
38:34
did remove the crippling aspect of that fear although a sense of natural caution remains yes I value my life here I have
38:42
loved ones to care for tasks to complete hopefully more years to serve a higher purpose but at the back of my mind I
38:50
carry the certain knowledge that stepping from this existence to the next is akin to crossing a threshold from one
38:55
room into a more glorious ious one this perspective Fosters great courage which
39:01
can be put to use daily am I perfect now far from it I can still say or do the
39:06
wrong thing stress might creep in unexpectedly and I can momentarily lose sight of that higher perspective but I
39:14
anchor Myself by revisiting the memory that swirling Corridor that divine presence those Kindred Souls
39:21
reconnecting with that place reinvigorates me it might be the best practice for Spiritual realignment I've
39:27
found recollecting that once you have experienced such unconditional love you never run empty in interactions with
39:34
local communities especially those dealing with high stress or fear I sometimes share a condensed version of
39:41
my story in workshops titled along the lines of finding hope in crisis a step-by-step approach we discuss
39:48
everything from controlling your breath to maintaining perspective on what truly matters though these gatherings aren't
39:54
overtly religious the underlying princip is always the same life is more expansive than you think whether you
40:02
almost died on an operating table or simply lost your job despair need not be your final outcome words like Miracle
40:10
get thrown around doctors occasionally use that term to describe my Revival from Clinical death I won't deny it felt
40:17
miraculous to reinhabit my human form after seeming to have traveled so far I
40:22
also accept that rational Minds will question the authenticity but I believe such skepticism handled respectfully can
40:29
lead to deeper Insight rather than conflict if the story resonates with you
40:34
take from it what encourages your heart if you prefer alternative explanations
40:40
that is your journey none of us can force another to believe and so here I stand today grateful changed and
40:48
consistently reminding myself of the bigger picture my life has become a living example of how adversity can push
40:54
us toward Revelation step by step I continue learning about how to integrate
40:59
that enormous Vision I experienced with daily responsibilities like paying bills enjoying a meal with friends or guiding
41:06
a youth who is about to appear in court every time I stand before another human being I sense a deeper awareness that
41:14
within each of us lies the capability to reflect a fraction of that Divine love to anyone listening who feels that they
41:21
are standing on the edge of hopelessness let me say you have no idea how precious
41:26
how valued and how Eternal you truly are there are no cheap words that can
41:32
replicate the direct knowledge I received but I can assure you from the core of my being that the love waiting
41:38
beyond our sight extinguishes fear and transforms the heaviest burdens into
41:44
manageable tasks if you approach life with this intention consider it your
41:49
personal tutorial for discovering an unshakable inner peace in conclusion I
41:55
have come to believe that everything that that happened to me the kidney stone that wouldn't pass the infection
42:01
that escalated dangerously the moment my heartbeat vanished played a role in unveiling a reality far greater than I
42:08
ever dared to imagine although I would not wish to repeat the physical pain I
42:13
cannot regret the outcome I now walk through my days cognizant that I am part of something enormous Dynamic and
42:20
overflowing with Grace my daily vow is to share that Grace to radiate it in
42:26
practical ways and whenever the time comes for me to finally cross that boundary for good I will do so with
42:32
reverent Readiness confident that what awaits is too marvelous for words and so
42:38
my friend that is the story a sweeping Journey from the Washington State Juvenile Courts to a realm beyond
42:45
anything a mortal lens can capture I hope it imparts hope and quiet resolve
42:50
reminding us all that life is a gift that each moment can be illuminated by love and that no one is defined by their
42:58
failures ultimately we are shaped by grace that stretches beyond our comprehension in a place so perfect that
43:05
even the rustling leaves seem to sing out you are welcome here
