In today's profound conversation, we are graced with the presence of Bill Tortorella, a man who has touched the light beyond life itself. His story is a journey through the unseen, the mystical, and the deeply personal, yet universally human. Growing up in Brooklyn, Bill lived a vibrant life surrounded by baseball legends and the bustling energy of a city in its prime. But what makes Bill's story truly remarkable is the moment his life came to a sudden halt, only for him to step into an extraordinary experience of the afterlife.As Bill recounts, it was in Tucson, Arizona, at a gem and mineral show in 1994 when his world changed forever. Struck down by a severe illness that left him gasping for air, he found himself in a situation far beyond his control. Yet, it was in the depths of this physical suffering that he discovered the beauty and boundless love of the spiritual realm. He describes the moment his soul left his body, hovering above it in a brilliant green mist—a color so vibrant it defies earthly comprehension. "It was like the color of life itself," Bill said, his voice filled with awe as he recalls that defining moment.This out-of-body experience led him into a glowing tunnel, embraced by colors and feelings that transcended any love he'd ever known. As Bill moved through the tunnel, he realized he was being guided, cradled like an infant in the arms of the universe. The tunnel was no ordinary passage but a gateway to home—a home he had long forgotten but instantly recognized. "I'm home. Thank God I'm home," he repeated as the love around him intensified with every moment.One of the most captivating elements of Bill's journey was the appearance of his guide, Antonia. This angelic presence, one of three guardians, had been with him all along. Through telepathic communication, Antonia revealed her purpose: to escort him safely into the light. As he stood in this illuminated realm, Bill felt the undeniable presence of family and friends—souls who had passed but now gathered to welcome him. Among them was his beloved brother Peter, whose familiar voice brought overwhelming comfort and joy.Bill's life review, a pivotal part of his experience, unfolded before him like a vivid movie reel. It was as though he could see and feel every good deed he'd ever done, not through his eyes but through the hearts of those he had touched. It was a reminder that in the grand scheme of things, love and kindness are what truly matter. SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS The soul's journey transcends the body: Bill's experience of leaving his body through his eyes in a glowing green mist reminds us that the physical is only a temporary vessel for the spirit.Love is the ultimate force of the universe: In the tunnel, Bill felt a love so powerful and all-encompassing that it reshaped his understanding of existence.Guides and guardians are always with us: Bill’s revelation that he had three spiritual guides, including the angel Antonia, highlights the unseen support we all have, whether we are aware of it or not.In the end, Bill’s journey was not just about seeing the other side but about the profound realizations he brought back. His message is one of hope, love, and the understanding that life is a gift, but so is the return to the light from which we came. As Bill so beautifully puts it, “We are all beings of light,” and our time on Earth is but a moment in the grand symphony of existence. Please enjoy my conversation with Bill Tortorella.
