It was while researching OBEs for Dr. Jeffrey Long at NDERF that the show's guest became fascinated with the underlying spiritual knowledge within NDE reports. Lynn ended up studying some 2500 death experiences before writing her new book, "Beyond NDEs: The Next Step in Near-Death Experience Research." The spiritual implications of NDEs are the subject of our show.

The first: a near-death-like experience from an angry, suicidal Australian man who was lifted out of his depression and drained of his vengeance by a gift of light from Jesus. The second: an NDE, three shared-body and a shared-death experience between two sisters-- certainly the most detailed, most gentle SDE I've encountered.

Our show's guest was starving, freezing, and terrified before and after her distressing and illuminating near-death experiences in the Arapahoe National Forest, where she was demon-led and lost for eleven days. She felt her life was over...until the gentle nuzzle and lick of a Golden Retriever woke her. Endurance is her true story.

This week we continue with Pat Wheeler's accounts of the kinds of guiding messages many of us receive, but often ignore at our peril. For many years Patricia Wheeler shared her STEs with her third grade parochial school students, who found them far more fascinating than their traditional religious schooling. Her book, Beyond the Natural, should encourage readers to reflect on times when interlinking circumstances seem more like messages than coincidences.

For many years our guest, Patricia Wheeler, teacher and artist, shared her STEs with her third grade parochial school students, who found them far more fascinating than their traditional religious schooling. Her book, "Beyond the Natural", should encourage readers to reflect on their own family stories, for times when interlinking circumstances seem like more than coincidence.

Returning from an NDE, we yearn to continue our conversation with the Other Side. Usually we turn to prayer, either traditional prayers or as simple conversations with God. And spoken prayer does reach the Other Side. Some NDErs have actually seen prayers from family and friends rising around them, like vibrating lights of love.

Host Lee Witting's doubts about free will on Earth are countered by guest Irene Kendig, whose messages concerning the free-will creativity available to us on the Other Side makes it potentially available to us here, as well. Irene Kendig is author of Conversations with Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead, the recipient of seven national and international awards

First, a car crash sends an NDEr into the light, to a life review and sixty years of learning. Second, a woman dying from disease dissipates like mist into a reality of consciousness and love not bound by time. Third, a man pinned in a tractor rollover sees deceased family and a tube portal to a heaven of love.

When Jason Dennen skydived into a catastrophic accident, his eight-day coma invoked hundreds of nightmares of guilt, shame, and the temptation to give up, from which he couldn't awake. These dreams also modeled stories of travel through the Bardo, but they ultimately served to strengthen his resolve to heal his body and his life.

Presidents Day reflections on George Washington's bulletproof battle of 1755, the vital part United plays in the as-above, so-below name of the United States, and the malignant narcissism of dictatorship.

Following Robin Landsong's kidnapping and abuse at age eight, her years of recovery from PTSD were guided by her NDEs in Zimbabwe (listen to our show of Jan. 22, 2024, "A Kidnapped Child's NDE") and, as today's show reports, further NDEs as a teen. Today, Robin helps others transform destructive energy to creative energy.

The trauma resulting from child abuse can crush a child's faith, as well. Guest Gloria Oelman tells how she, with persistent clues from the Other Side, overcame her fear-induced atheism and regained her belief.

In 1983, anthropologist Dorothy Ayers Counts compared a few NDEs, dreams, and visions of Kaliai interviewees with notions of NDEs and OBEs in the West, and discussed the surprising cultural differences in IANDS' Journal of Near-Death Studies. Host Lee Witting reads selections from that remarkable article.

When Robin Aisha Landsong was eight she was abducted to Zimbabwe and there abandoned. Shot by a gunman, she experienced a remarkable NDE before being saved and cared for by the people of a small tribal village. Robin went back to Zimbabwe 40 years later to rediscover the people and the land.

Host Lee Witting tells the story of how Dr. King's commitment to love may have resulted from an NDE, and how King's assassination in 1968 impacted hopes for change. Still, our understanding of love as the only true answer has been deepened by NDEs since the--and now must be employed--as we face the racism of 2024.

This stunning NDE, described by Yvonne Sneeden more that ten years ago for NDE Radio listeners, was discovered in our YouTube archives and recommended highly by a listener who called it, "One of the most beautiful and powerful NDEs I have ever heard. Beautiful and so detailed," and gave it three hearts.

Some evangelical churches have become antichrist-supporters, conspiring this year to bring on the End Times. God's Love, the basis for true healing as revealed by Jesus' sacrifice and NDEs, can expose such narcissist plotting and bring the world back from the brink in 2024.

Shortly after the publication of “A Christmas Carol” in 1843, author Charles Dickens wrote to a friend about an STE vision of Mary he had “dreamed." His book went on to overwhelming success, as it reaffirmed Jesus’ teachings of love and charity as the real meaning of Christmas. The story of Scrooge is reenacted each year on stage, TV, and film for millions of fans, even to this day

With the announcement that science is merging human brain cells into computers, Lee interviews today's Artificial Intelligence to set a baseline of answers for the cyborg Frankensteins around the corner.

A girl in meditation visits heaven, a dying man is called back by his wife, a young boy is repaired before dying by a being of fire, and a man is saved from suicide by a living-room life review from God--four examples of Near-Death-Like Experiences from IANDS.

From agnostic to pastor, John Burke became a spokesman for the Light through his growing interest in NDEs. In his best seller, Imagine Heaven, and his new book, Imagine the God of Heaven, he demonstrates God's love didn't end with the Bible, but continues worldwide every day by way of thousands of NDEs.

Nine geese swim over the spot where seven-year-old Lee Witting drowned. On this birthday program, Lee shares how that NDE guided and propelled some major events in his life.

Robert Christophor Coppes, a former president of IANDS Netherlands, lives in Amsterdam. His conviction that NDEs are true spiritual experiences began with Raymond Moody's book, "Life After Life", and Coppes' own latest work, "Impressions of Near-Death Experiences," quotes a broad range of NDEr insights. Coppes is also the author of "The Essence of Religions: A Glimpse of Heaven in the Near-Death Experience."

Darlene Kyurn has memories of alien healing from a very young age. Her psychic abilities as a little girl frightened her Catholic mother, though, so she gave them up until becoming an adult. Her studies have spanned a range from angels to UFOs, portals to vortexes, and she has provided guidance to folks going through the dying process.
