Darkness was my earliest
0:02
companion my mother on her own and
0:04
struggling often sent me to stay with
0:06
different households where I felt like
0:09
nothing more than an extra mouth to feed
0:11
I remember leaning against chipped door
0:13
frames wondering if I'd ever feel that
0:16
elusive sense of belonging each new
0:18
address came with a new set of unspoken
0:20
rules a new hierarchy of children and a
0:23
new environment where I'd have to learn
0:25
again how to protect my heart kids can
0:28
sense when they're out of place and I
0:31
certainly did yet in all that upheaval I
0:34
learned a howto for survival an
0:36
instinctual step-by-step approach to
0:38
personal resilience that shaped me so
0:41
strongly I carried it into adulthood by
0:44
the time I was seven I finally stayed
0:46
with a family that provided a semblance
0:48
of stability but just when I started to
0:51
breathe easy my mother reappeared ready
0:53
to take on her role at 14 I found myself
0:57
living with a woman I barely knew and a
0:59
new stepfather who argued with her
1:02
constantly the tension was so thick it
1:04
weighed on my chest wanting to escape I
1:07
learned the best practices for emotional
1:09
distance Vanishing for hours at a time
1:12
especially when raised voices shook the
1:15
walls little did I know these teenage
1:18
experiments in withdrawal would set the
1:20
stage for a lifetime Balancing Act
1:22
between Solitude and togetherness once I
1:25
finished high school I faced a stark
1:27
reality College wasn't happening with
1:29
without outside help so I joined the
1:32
service confident I could Forge a path
1:34
toward an engineering degree my
1:37
Mechanical Aptitude flourished there
1:39
honed by tough schedules and rigorous
1:41
training if anyone told me I couldn't do
1:43
something I'd plow through them my world
1:46
view was that the strong Prosper the
1:48
weak fall behind that laser focused
1:51
mentality made me good at my job but
1:53
left no real space for compassion when I
1:56
finally exited service life I discovered
1:59
commercial diving an adventurous blend
2:01
of danger and curiosity it was The
2:04
Ultimate Guide to testing my limits
2:06
underwater the ocean became my
2:08
professional playground I fused those
2:11
mechanical skills with diving eventually
2:13
climbing the ranks to become chief
2:15
engineer on a research vessel operating
2:18
on the Open Seas demanded constant
2:20
problem solving a real behindth scenes
2:22
glimpse of how unpredictable ocean
2:25
conditions could be each expedition was
2:27
a puzzle to crack and my spirit thriv D
2:30
on the adrenaline rush of overcoming
2:32
obstacles that job fit me like a glove
2:34
the vessel's demands were high there was
2:37
no official rule book for Missions and
2:39
improvisation was key we faced unknown
2:42
variables every day and I took pride in
2:44
steering that chaos toward order
2:47
commercial diving in the 1980s though
2:49
wasn't the cautious profession it's
2:51
become in the latest trends of Maritime
2:53
safety back then many of my fellow
2:56
divers suffered severe sometimes fatal
2:58
accidents everything everything from the
3:00
bendz to hearing loss private life
3:02
insurance companies wanted nothing to do
3:04
with us still we pressed forward
3:07
enthralled by the viral hacks we were
3:09
innovating in underwater robotics
3:11
Salvage work and experimental
3:14
techniques one fateful night in 1983 our
3:18
vessel was evaluating a cuttingedge ROV
3:21
remote operated vehicle off the coast of
3:24
California when a vicious storm formed
3:26
on the horizon we realized it would be a
3:29
race against time to reach the harbor
3:31
the Big Challenge lay at the mouth of
3:33
that Harbor guarded by a daunting
3:35
Breakwater that churned enormous waves
3:37
during rough weather with strong winds
3:40
howling and 25 to 30ft Breakers rolling
3:43
in the captain decided to reduce
3:45
prolonged costs by trying to get our
3:48
smaller crew ashore quickly the plan
3:51
deploy our rubber Zodiac boat a craft we
3:53
relied on for retrieval operations even
3:56
in Heavy
3:57
Seas at that moment I was sing L out to
4:00
join a small team heading into Harbor
4:02
normally I stayed on board to manage
4:04
systems as the chief engineer but our
4:07
skeleton crew didn't have enough hands
4:08
familiar with the shoreline I was The
4:11
Logical choice if a reluctant one we
4:14
rummaged through the bosen's locker to
4:16
find neglected orange life vests crusted
4:18
in dust banged them clean and strapped
4:21
them on it felt as if we were wearing
4:23
pillow cases around our torsos still we
4:26
zipped into that zodiac and tried to aim
4:29
for the harbor with a radar bearing
4:31
night swallowed us street lights on the
4:34
distant Shore were no match for the
4:35
swirling Darkness overhead waves like
4:38
watery Hills formed all around forcing
4:41
us to Crest a roller catch a glimpse of
4:43
the harbor boy then will our boat to the
4:46
next roller repeating this precarious
4:48
dance over and over before we knew it
4:51
we'd been blown an unexpected mile south
4:54
unbeknownst to the entire crew suddenly
4:58
we penetrated a breaker Zone of colossal
5:00
waves one towering swell pitched the
5:03
Zodiac forward with startling force and
5:06
as soon as we hit the trough another
5:08
massive wall of water slammed down our
5:10
sturdy little craft folded like a
5:12
sandwich and I unluckiest of all got
5:15
catapulted overboard my instincts
5:18
reminded me I was a trained diver keep
5:20
calm I told myself but this was pure
5:24
chaos imagine the Roar of an enraged
5:26
ocean at night no Guiding Light No
5:29
reference points tumbling underwater
5:31
deprived me of any sense of up or down
5:34
my chest burned as I clung to my last
5:36
breath soon that inevitable moment came
5:39
when I needed air so badly that Euphoria
5:41
disguised the danger and I inhaled
5:43
frigid saltwater I drowned then came
5:47
silence the Roaring waves vanished in an
5:49
instant I felt neither cold nor pain
5:52
only a mesmerizing Stillness in complete
5:54
darkness and something else an
5:56
overwhelming sense I wasn't alone
5:59
training had taught me about oxygen
6:00
deprivation and the Illusions it can
6:02
cause but this was beyond anything my
6:05
instructors ever described curiosity
6:08
tugged at me how could the most violent
6:10
episode of My Life melt into a deep
6:12
sense of Tranquility a pin prick of
6:15
Radiance emerged the faintest glimmer in
6:18
that void as it beckoned I noticed it
6:21
was made of countless filaments of light
6:23
all moving in Perfect Harmony like an
6:26
enormous school of fish swimming in
6:27
synchronous arcs the closer I drifted
6:31
the more it felt like the very core of
6:32
the Universe I glanced down at my own
6:35
form somehow I too was dissolving into
6:38
these luminous threads waves of
6:41
extraordinary warmth embraced me an
6:43
unconditional love that carried no
6:45
demands or judgments it felt more honest
6:48
than any human love I'd ever encountered
6:50
I realized I was merging with this
6:52
Cosmic Family of Brilliance an eternal
6:55
kinship even though I couldn't place
6:57
them from my Earthly life more radiant
7:00
forms arrived greeting me like I'd been
7:02
gone too long they communicated without
7:05
words urging me toward a deeper realm it
7:09
appeared to my perception as a vast
7:11
spherical chamber and that's where I
7:14
relived my entire life but not as a
7:16
simple slideshow it was a total
7:19
immersive re-experience from every
7:21
perspective including the viewpoints of
7:23
others I had interacted with their
7:26
feelings their emotional states even the
7:28
micro impacts of my words and actions
7:30
were all laid bare my Consciousness
7:33
splintered into multiple streams for
7:34
those moments forcing me to see my life
7:37
in shocking Clarity a struck and ashamed
7:40
I realized how many things I'd done
7:42
purely out of arrogance my Cosmic Family
7:45
however offered only compassion gently
7:48
sharing in my memories with empathetic
7:50
understanding their unconditional
7:52
presence inv veloped me never condemning
7:55
me never turning away even the worst
7:58
chapters of my life were met with with
7:59
unwavering acceptance my heart felt both
8:02
humbled and cherished when the review
8:05
extended beyond the point of my drowning
8:07
the clarity faded I became aware I was
8:10
glimpsing future possibilities a
8:12
Labyrinth of paths sprawled before me
8:15
indicating the fluid nature of Destiny
8:17
multiple directions multiple outcomes
8:21
yet before I could fully understand this
8:23
infinite complexity a collective
8:25
resonant voice filled my awareness it
8:27
was that same all-encompassing life
8:29
speaking as an infinite chorus telling
8:32
me it wasn't my time I had to go back
8:34
and I adamantly refused why leave this
8:37
horizonless love for a broken body
8:39
drifting in a cold sea all that awaited
8:42
me on the surface I thought was pain I
8:45
stood my ground protesting with every
8:47
fiber of my being but the absolute force
8:50
of that luminous presence repeated its
8:52
message there was purpose woven into my
8:54
life and I had obligations yet to
8:57
fulfill the moment I truly grasped the
9:00
meaning of purpose that Cosmic
9:02
injunction shivered through me like
9:03
sonic waves suddenly I was hovering
9:07
above my submerged form next to me
9:09
hovered a few of those radiant
9:11
companions as we watched my body churn
9:13
in the tumultuous Waters a stray rope
9:16
from the Zodiac's wreckage latched onto
9:18
my arm dislocating my shoulder but also
9:21
forcing my limp form toward the surface
9:24
wave after wave bashed My Flesh against
9:26
a partially inflated section of the boat
9:28
pushing out some salt water from my
9:30
lungs I sensed my soul family gently
9:33
pressing me back into the body and like
9:35
the snap of a rubber band a blinding
9:37
torrent of sensation hit me the agony of
9:40
re-entering a battered oxygen starved
9:43
water logged body was immense if dying
9:45
felt harsh coming back felt even harsher
9:49
my throat choked on salt my lungs raged
9:52
I could hear muffled shouts from my
9:53
companions scanning the waves with
9:55
flashlights in a frenzied attempt to
9:57
find me my voice barely managed to rasp
10:00
but they spotted me we regrouped around
10:03
the floating wreckage confirming that
10:05
everyone W has alive if badly shaken we
10:09
still had nearly a mile to swim under
10:11
those monstrous conditions wrestling and
10:14
aching dislocated shoulder I accepted
10:16
the help of a friend who stomped on my
10:18
arm to pop it back in pain roared
10:20
through my body but I was alive
10:23
eventually we staggered onto the beach
10:25
half dead from exertion yet
10:27
extraordinarily lucky a adrenaline still
10:30
coed through my veins but so did
10:32
confusion people demanded to know how I
10:34
had managed to hold my breath so long
10:37
jokingly I said the ocean spat me back
10:40
in my world death was taboo especially
10:43
for commercial divers so I told no one
10:45
about that other realm that
10:47
unconditional love that sense of Soul
10:49
family the memory scared me more than I
10:52
cared to admit I stored The Experience
10:55
away in a figurative box sealed with
10:57
mental duct tape labeled not open and
11:00
went on with life as if nothing had
11:02
happened yet the lessons from My Life
11:05
review wouldn't remain silent I could
11:07
still recall my own behaviors my
11:09
brashness my disregard for others
11:12
feelings slowly I did my best to change
11:15
the way I treated people in subtle ways
11:18
I let those expert tips from my
11:20
afterlife Panorama guide me treat others
11:23
gently speak with empathy and try to
11:25
harness the power of love for daily
11:28
decisions but the deeper aspects meeting
11:31
God reuniting with a family of light
11:34
remained in locked storage I couldn't
11:36
handle that part it felt too big too
11:40
surreal in the years that followed two
11:42
urgent questions burned in my mind first
11:46
I wanted to regain Clarity on that
11:48
purpose so forcefully mentioned second I
11:51
wanted to ReDiscover the boundless love
11:53
I'd tasted out there it's easy to become
11:56
obsessed straining to find that
11:58
Transcendent love in Earthly existence
12:01
some people spiral into depression when
12:02
they don't find it I too felt the ache
12:05
for that Cosmic connection still I
12:08
resisted the urge to throw my life away
12:10
and Chase the Beyond recalling how
12:12
precious time is here and how ephemeral
12:15
it can be The Daily Grind overshadowed
12:17
those spiritual inklings I dove deeper
12:20
into The Busy World of mechanical
12:22
systems and Hospital management a back
12:24
problem crept up on me starting as a
12:26
harmless ache but turning more menacing
12:28
each week
12:29
my arm tingled with numbness I assumed
12:32
it was just typing fatigue carpal tunnel
12:34
from Advanced administrative tasks then
12:38
in the middle of a routine day my spine
12:40
felt like it snapped from within I
12:43
staggered to an emergency department
12:45
only to encounter a moment I recognized
12:47
instantly from my near-death Life review
12:50
a nurse walked in eyes brimming with
12:53
tears Deja Vu struck me like lightning I
12:57
remembered seeing this exact moment in
12:58
that Cosmic preview I had once tried so
13:01
hard to forget tests soon revealed I had
13:04
stage four lung and bone cancer tumors
13:07
had devoured parts of my vertebrae
13:09
causing a terrifying collapse additional
13:12
scans showed spots in my hip kidneys and
13:14
even my brain the doctors gave me a
13:17
painfully short prognosis encouraging me
13:19
to finalize my Affairs the recommended
13:22
path forward was basically to manage
13:24
pain and wait out the inevitable but
13:27
something within me roared in Defiance
13:29
I've seen the future that internal voice
13:32
reminded me this is not how it ends
13:35
while many questioned my sanity I drew
13:37
on best practices from both conventional
13:40
oncology and holistic medicine I clung
13:43
to gratitude yes gratitude each day
13:46
viewing my suffering as a teacher step
13:49
by step keep going I told myself
13:51
aligning with that unwavering love I
13:54
once knew despite skepticism I found
13:57
incredible Synergy between Medical
13:59
treatments and mindful practices I
14:01
considered it my own Ultimate Guide to
14:03
Healing a behindth scenes custom
14:05
strategy blending Hospital Technology
14:08
with the intangible essence of spiritual
14:10
resilience in just 6 months though it
14:13
seemed an eternity I stunned my entire
14:16
care team by reaching a cancer-free
14:18
state friends and colleagues called it a
14:20
miracle for me it was part of that
14:23
Destiny the light had revealed gratitude
14:26
became the Cornerstone of my new life
14:28
philosophy
14:29
whenever adversity reared its head I
14:31
tried to respond with genuine
14:33
appreciation not because adversity is
14:35
fun but because it can bring Clarity a
14:39
consistent gratitude practice can
14:40
dismantle fear providing that Stillness
14:43
from which you can see the Practical
14:45
steps forward that near-death experience
14:48
so profoundly real electrified my
14:50
Outlook on everyday existence the memory
14:53
of tapping into multiple perspectives
14:55
during the Life review made me realize
14:58
that none of us are isolated we are all
15:00
connected to the cosmic tapestry in ways
15:02
we barely sense being here on Earth
15:06
isolated by the limitations of a
15:07
physical body at times feels like Living
15:10
in a Dream yet when we step into that
15:13
luminous realm we return to our totality
15:16
it's as if only a fraction of our true
15:18
spiritual Essence inhabits our bodies
15:21
while the greater portion awaits our
15:22
reunion Beyond this plane today I see
15:26
Life as a wondrous Adventure suffering
15:29
ing though painful can generate
15:31
transformation even if it's a single
15:33
Moment of clarity it can change the
15:36
entire trajectory of your life that's
15:38
why easy methods for heart-c centered
15:40
self-reflection or top 10 strategies for
15:43
practicing daily mindfulness can be so
15:46
pivotal if they help even one person see
15:49
beyond their immediate trials knowing we
15:52
co-create each moment with the world
15:53
around us we can reclaim power over how
15:56
we respond to crisis and though that
15:59
immeasurable light still calls me I
16:01
honor the blessing of being here
16:03
breathing air feeling the sun on my face
16:05
hearing the laughter of friends I
16:08
believe we have a responsibility to
16:09
nurture our gifts and share them because
16:12
we never know what deeper plans might
16:14
unfold through our Cooperative
16:16
existence yes I anticipate the day I
16:20
return to that realm of expansive love
16:22
where self-doubt fear and pain evaporate
16:25
but until that time I'm fully present
16:28
here in engaging with each new chapter
16:30
with open-minded curiosity and a humbler
16:33
heart perhaps that is the real trending
16:36
now mindset living with purpose offering
16:39
compassion freely and never forgetting
16:41
how much each small act reverberates in
16:44
The Grand Design of creation true
16:47
belonging I've learned doesn't lie in
16:49
any single household or fleeting
16:50
achievement it resides in our
16:52
willingness to keep our Spirits open and
16:55
our actions sincere so whenever storms
16:58
close in and the waves threaten to drag
17:00
me below I think of that silent glow
17:03
that abiding sense of being cherished by
17:05
an ineffable Source I remember the
17:07
watery Darkness the Luminous Radiance
17:10
that welcomed me and the hush that
17:12
followed my last breath that memory
17:15
urges me to embrace life's
17:17
unpredictability knowing that within
17:19
every challenge there might be an
17:20
invitation to step closer to the light
17:22
we carry within the Adventure Continues
17:26
wave after wave heartbreak after
17:28
heartbreak Triumph after Triumph and in
17:31
each surge of the tide I sense that
17:33
underlying love guiding me home but not
17:36
before I fully walked this path it's my
17:39
heartfelt wish that others too discover
17:41
the expert tips embedded in their own
17:43
hardships one might une Earth lessons of
17:45
patience another might realize the
17:47
beauty of surrender while someone else
17:50
finds Unstoppable courage our stories
17:53
differ but the Resonance of growth the
17:55
Synergy of connected Souls is universal
17:58
if if there's one Ultimate Guide to this
18:00
existence it's that none of us Walk
18:02
Alone we're all part of something
18:04
immense and wondrous weaving together
18:07
each Ripple of kindness thought and
18:09
choice into a collective tapestry in the
18:12
end no matter how large the breakers or
18:14
how dark the night we can stand on the
18:17
shore soaked to the bone yet steadfast
18:20
with hearts that are open and ready we
18:22
can meet every storm with alertness
18:24
curiosity and maybe even a bit of Wonder
18:28
Because deep in side the current that
18:30
carries us also nurtures us urging us to
18:32
remember who we truly are sparks of
18:35
light United in a vast ocean of
18:37
possibility
