Dr. Cole’s NDE left him pondering what to make of it through the eyes of a physician whose scientific training did not account for such phenomena.

“Even though I felt peace, comfort, and complete love behind me and around me, I didn’t want to go. Then, the next thing I saw was the room become bright and the light behind me was even brighter. I remember turning around crying and I asked, one more time, please, Lord not now.”
“On the night in question, I went to bed, it being like any other ordinary night. I remember ‘waking up’ as it were; only to find myself in complete darkness which I call the Void.”
“I was in a large theater, with a stage and velvet curtains on both sides. No one else was there. I was sitting in the middle of the row. I didn’t know how I got there or why. I waited, and then one of my earliest childhood friends came out onto the stage.”
“I could see what was behind me and could see what is before me. A clarity that set me on my path. The truth was inside me.”
As a professor of neuroscience, and an author of several books, including Unseen Forces: The Integration of Science, Reality, and You, Bob Davis is immensely interested in the topics of near-death experiences and consciousness.

“Then the light came. I was thrown straight into the middle of the Sun. Straight into the middle of the warmest, most beautiful, most welcoming light…”
“Uncle Dee Dee seemed to have stepped forward and approached me as though to shake my hand. While I gestured to shake his hand, I heard his voice as to say words to the effect of, ‘Well done.'”
“I immediately walked over to him and asked, “Are You the Being, called JESUS” And with a warm soft, sense of Love and Laughter, he replied back, ‘I am called by many names, however because of your background you can call me BIG BROTHER, and I will call you, My Little Prince of Peace’…”
“I saw a very strong white light not like on earth, it is impossible to explain the intensity of that light.” “…spirit projects me into the future, fifteen or twenty years further, and shows me what the life of those around me is, due to me, yet without me.”
“Floating, I went in the direction of the light that I felt I had to go to.” Sorry about the intro on this one. I seem to have lost it in transition… no pun intended 🙂
“I felt pain in the form of a thousand fists punching me all over my body, but I didn’t care. I was focusing on the warm sensation now creeping from my body down through my legs and arms, and up to my neck, like sun on skin, but it radiated from the inside. A dark, …
“…all of a sudden a calmness as a voice spoke gently to me like warm honey being poured over me very warm and comforting like I had never felt since then came over me.”

“Phebe was certain she was dying. Wilford blessed her and tried everything to relieve her suffering, but the fever grew worse.

“I remember the physical sensation of shrinking, and talking to myself. I thought it was like being in a funnel and I was going down, by the time I was in the very tip of the funnel I was quite small. I even said, ‘ I am the size of a pea now.”
Most of the time, when people go to the other side, they want nothing more than to stay. But sometimes—if only occasionally, people want to come back. Because, more than anything else, we are here on earth for a reason.
“During the time I was ‘out’, I had the most joyful experience of my life. The joy and ecstasy I felt was beyond description.”
“It was peaceful and I loved it. I wanted to stay. I had an overview of my life, who I should be with and who I shouldn’t, what life was and a taste of it I guess is a way to put it. I only remember a feeling of it now but at the time, …
“I could feel myself moving, but I knew it wasn’t on the table any longer. There were thousands of colors in front of me. It looked like I was watching the Aurora Borealis.”
“Then I felt attracted by a light glow. But the more I went forward, the more I saw a kind of arc of circle surrounding me like arms protecting me.”
“Then I noticed that surrounding the doctors were more people. They were extraordinarily tall. They were wearing white, and they were very ‘shiny’; they emanated light.” Also, from a listener comment/question, here are a couple commentaries that she might find useful. Thanks so much for contacting me! Here’s one that a friend, Charlie Forbes, is …

“I could see my body lying on the floor head down and still holding the wire. I rose to about ten feet off the ground and I stopped hovering near the roof tiles. I was calling for help but no one was there.”
“I experienced a feeling of traveling quickly down a long tunnel – this was somewhat disorienting/dizzying – the only thing I can think of to describe the feeling of this is the effect of watching a spinning red and white pinwheel and feeling as if I was spiraling along a tunnel (this may sound silly, …
Nina, Van, and Mori, each had a near-death experience, and though their accounts are short, they are insightful, demonstrating both the common elements we hear so often in NDEs, as well as the uniqueness of each individual’s experience.
“All I know is that suddenly I was in a very long, dark tunnel moving very rapidly toward a very large, bright light that radiated love. I could hear beautiful, high-pitched wind chimes, and I could hear angels singing; legions of angels.”
“I know what it feels like to faint, before and after. When one faints, nothing happens before and after. This was different. I was out of body, but I was not afraid.”
“With a flash of the most intense white light, I found myself standing before the Source.”
“After that, I remember I saw the most beautiful garden I have ever seen, I saw my cousin who died five months ago in an abortion operation…”
“And I laughed, ‘THIS IS IT? THIS is what everyone is so afraid of???’ I laughed the same as I hear myself laugh now inside this thing once again. I was still ME, just not in this.”
“I remember being taken to the hospital and wondering why. At the time, it seemed like I was sleeping because I was on top of the ceiling looking down at myself. Mind you, I was only three years old and all this was really cool.”
“God asked me, ‘How did you serve your fellow man?’ I told him that I did not know. Just then, my soul filled with my entire past, and almost instantly, it was over.”
“If you are allowed to return you must put your vow first above all else. Do this and all that you need and even desire will be added to you.”
“What I experienced was that I was a tiny object of myself traveling with very high speed in dark space with a light”
“Then he said something to me like ‘Well, you won’t get too many chances to recover from something like this again. You must be much more careful in the future or you won’t be able to do what you have to do and that won’t be good.’”
“I had a flashback of all my past life. One would have said slides bombarded at full speed without interruption.”
“I traveled through space at great speed, once I had lost the fear of going with it. I saw a light and I went into it. It was wondrous light that engulfed everything; there was total knowledge and love.”
“I died for about three or four minutes eleven years ago and entered this other dimension that I took as being Heaven, certainly an afterlife. It was really beautiful, with gardens and fountains and small, countryside hills. The people appeared in Greek or Roman dress, very comfortable with white robes and sandal type shoes.”

“I had the feeling that I was asked very gently to make a choice between living or not living.”
Tine, Cinthia, and Vadra each had a near-death experience, and today we share those accounts.
“Sometime during my unconscious phase, I found myself thrown near the edge of a swirling mass of beings. All the beings around me were very black and the atmosphere was one of depression and resignation. I was being pushed along very fast by the swirling mass of beings, some looking like walking skeletons. I had …
“The voice said again much more clearly, ‘Go back, it’s not your time.’ “I then thought, ‘No, I’m going to see my mother and I don’t want to go back.’ “I preceded up to my front door and as I was about to open it the voice changed into my mother’s voice and said even …
From Nellie’s Experience: “I was at the light and then I was stopped at a barrier. I looked at the light and I experienced an overwhelming flood of peace, joy, and unconditional love. I knew that God was behind that light, and there with Him was everything we could imagine – beautiful, good, just, merciful, …
“I then entered some other dimension and was greeted by people who I feel were my relatives or at least were absolutely overjoyed to see me and greeted me with overwhelming love.”
From Rhonda’s experience: “I came away feeling that must be total contentment. Jesus sat down under a very large tree and they all knelt down in front of Him.” From Stefan’s experience: “I had total consciousness, I knew the answers to everything, why it was the way it was, and why it has to be …

“I popped out through the top of my head, through the wall of the house (the bed was set against the wall), stood up and spoke to a white cloud-like, human-shaped figure outlined in blue (I’ve now come to understand that that was one of my guardian angels).”
“What I distinctly remember to this very day, is firstly a flashing of beautiful scenes, fields, oceans, dolphins, horses, and everything racing.

“A voice said to me, ‘The love you give and the love you receive are yours for all eternity; you only answer for your incompletions – all the things not said or done.’ What I had seen made sense; I saw all my incompletions. Why hadn’t someone told me? I could have done it differently.” …
“At this moment, I heard a voice behind me and turned. There, standing… were two friends of mine who had been killed in a car wreck in 1983. They had been together when they were killed (as was fitting since they were always inseparable) and the three of us were closer than brother and sister. …

And just to reassure everyone, while there will be a few more episodes with background music (they were already recorded and scheduled before I got the first feedback about the music), I will NOT be …
The background music is still in its experimental stage, so let me know if it’s distracting, annoying, or too loud. It’s more work putting it in, so if it doesn’t matter either way to listeners, I’ll probably not keep doing it. Basically, let me know if you like having the musical background. The background music …
“While in His presence, I felt that the knowledge of the universe was all mine. All, questions were answered and made complete sense.

Lani Leary went to the dentist (sad to say, after reading so many dental NDEs, I’m a little less comfortable now getting dental work done!), had an allergic reaction to the nitrous oxide, and died. And floating over her body, rather than feeling sad about her death, she felt compassion for the poor dentist, who …

Scarcely did they have her admitted for surgery, and her spirit …
When does the spirit enter the body? Is it at the moment of conception, or the moment of birth? The first response I have to give is, I don’t know. But are there experiences that shed some light on this subject? And the answer to that question is yes. Both Todd Burpo’s book, Heaven is …

Ronna Lackey had at least two NDEs, and from them, she learned the importance and value of doing family history. Often those we meet on the other side of the veil are family, and in Ronna’s case, she didn’t recognize the spirits she met. Only later, in looking through old photos, does she see the …

Continuing Lance Richardson’s account, we share one of the many examples of music in heaven, as will as a discussion about religion and the near-death experience.
While some NDEs have a deeply ethereal, transcendental flavor, giving the listener the sense that heaven is without senses, but that there is nothing but flowing love and intelligence for eternity, others, like Lance’s, provide a picture that is so relatable as to almost seem mortal—albeit beautiful, joyful, and blissful.

By now, we may understand that there is a grand, overarching plan to our life here on earth, but what about the individual plan each of us have for our own lives? What about our unique life purpose?

These short NDEs, by Rachel, Greg, Sammy, and Delona, all of which lack detail (1 and 2 out of 5 on the detail scale) have some beautifully profound contents. Another illustration that while lack of detail makes the reading less comprehensive, the experience itself is no less remarkable.

In his near-death experience, David experienced seven levels of heaven. And while he didn’t give a great deal of detail (perhaps 2/5 on the detail scale), what he does say about them is… well, out of this world. Plus we share a fun little experience of a high schooler who, in a momentary scare, has …
Nanci Danison had a remarkable near-death experience.

In this …

You might say Jonathan learned the danger of LSD the hard way—or you could say he learned it’s danger the nicest way possible. He overdosed, and had a near-death experience. To his credit, though, his NDE jumpstarted the life cleanup that helped him stop doing drugs for good.
Christianne’s NDEs are interesting—not just because she had 5 of them, but also because of her manner of telling about them. A bit of a humorist, but not one to give a lot of detail, the account comes out as a sort of hodge-podge of otherworldly experiences. Still, I think it’s worth adding to our …
P. M. H. Atwater is something of a legend in NDE study circles, because she’s written several books on the subject, and speaks on the subject everywhere she goes. And lest you think she’s doing it as some get-rich thing, it was the Light that told her to write three books. At the time she …

Here’s an experience I haven’t read yet, but that we discover together. I did this partly because I enjoy discovering things fresh, and partly to illustrate that I’m not cherry-picking these accounts based on my beliefs. Most of the experiences I at least scan through to assess factors like length or particular subject matter (such …

What is the terrain on the other side? Are we all just living on a cloud? What kind of landscape will we be in after death?
We’re still discussing the basics today, this time focusing on the light. More than just brightness emanating from from a bunch of protons, the light discussed in near-death experiences is full of much, much more.
Will we meet with loved ones again after we die? For most, the answer seems to be a resounding YES!
How do spirits communicate? Are there still language barriers in Heaven? How well can we really understand each other on the other side?

The second common element in a near-death experience after Out of the Body is the void. I was tempted to save this one for later, but it really is quite a common experience. It may be a little harder an element to swallow at first, but if you become familiar with the concept, and read …
