    I understand what Lewis Brown Griggs is saying. Over 40 years ago, I had a NDE, which was also an OBE (out of body experience). I was electrocuted, and came out of my body. I noticed right away that it was very calm, quiet, and peaceful. Very serene and tranquil. I wasn't feeling any kind of pain at all. I was still Earthbound, and I was in the sheet metal facility where I was working. I could see everything going on around me. Then I saw my body, and I knew I was out of my body. The very first thought that occurred to me was: I think I'm dead. But I very quickly realized that my sense of awareness and conscientiousness was still with me. I was still me, and I was still here, and I felt very much alive. I felt as if I was some kind of energy, and I was pure mind. Then I had a feeling of complete acceptance, and then I was sensing perfect unconditional love. I could no longer see, and everything became extremely sensory. My senses became far beyond the human senses. From the time I left my body, until I returned to my body, no one spoke to me, nor did I speak to anyone in the verbal sense. But I now understand that in a sense, what I was sensing and experiencing was the language. I was completely at peace. The last thing I experienced before returning to my body was what I call the Oneness. This is sort of like the oneness of the universe, or the oneness of everything. Somehow, someway, I just knew that everything was one. I know now that the acceptance and unconditional love that I was sensing and experiencing was coming from everyone who was at this place. I call this place Paradise, because it seems very Earth like in many ways. This doesn't seem physical but has the appearance of what we are familiar with on our planet. Probably because we will feel more comfortable in this type of setting. I returned to my body right after this. My gut instinct tells me that the overwhelming majority of people who cross over after physical death will be just fine in the afterlife. Relax, just do the best you can in your human lives, and don't worry. Everything will be alright.

There was a program on TV an bc of that show, my Mom said " if I can let you know about the other side, I will! I said cool! An thought no more about it. Well 3 weeks after my Mom went home, I had an accident an I was physically fine but emotionally wrecked!! An then I hear God bless you, in my Mom's voice!! I used to tell my Mom, love you an God bless you! Everytime b4 I would leave. An the God bless you, came from my Mom's phone! So... I listened to my Mom's voicemail, an no where does Mom say God bless you!! That brought MUCH comfort to my heart an soul!! I hope my experience helps to comfort you as well!! An may God bless you!! 😊💯❤️

    I recently lost my wife (and best friend) to cancer. I believe I saw the exact moment her soul left her body just before she took her last breaths. Although she was not conscious, her facial expression changed and I saw a look of pure peace on her face. Her breathing pattern changed from agonal to very peaceful for 4 more breaths then she was gone. At the same time I felt a warm calming sensation from my head to my toes. There is no doubt in my mind she saw something that gave her peace and her soul followed it. It was actually pretty profound.

    The thought of losing my wife and best friend, I can't fathom. God put me to the ultimate test last year which made me a believer. My wife got a severe case of Covid and was in the icu on an oxygen machine. I was outside in my yard for all of my neighbors to see and hear, yelling at the top of my lungs at God, to not do this to me. I was fully prepared to end it all had she died, but God had plans for me. I grew up agnostic. I won't go into details as it's a long story, but this was God's way of saving me and it worked. I continue recieving signs and it brings me comfort. My health took a sudden bad turn around the same time my wife was on her death bed. God will break hearts to save souls!

    @Meg D, hello. Beautiful that you were with your husband at that moment of passing. - I am still sadden that it may have been “before his time”, ? That we was young ?? And that it left you or children at a loss? Thank You 🙏🏻 though for taking the time to post your absolute Precious experience, that is a gift 💝 for us ALL. I’m a daughter, 60 yr. old and 88 yr. old Mom does not have much time left ... hence why I’m reading/searching these NDE’s. :). IF I may ask, how exactly did you “sense” your husbands spirit’s descent ..? Any further elaboration for us? I think so many people are so GRIEF Stricken, that they are consumed by those emotions and miss the sensory Gift you received ..? Right ..? Lastly, have you since sensed your husband’s “presence”, as others have said, but again don’t really describe what they mean by that... :( We all know SO many who’ve lost, and miss, yet they are not saying they still or sometimes “sense” their loved ones who have crossed ... thx!!

    In 2000 i was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 46 years old. I went through 9 brain surgeries, I was in a COMA on my 7th surgery. As i was told i was near brain dead. During that time i was in the coma, I felt as if i was in a room. I was drawn into this room deeper. i did not walk as i can remember, i floated. (if you close your eyes really tight, you will see speckles of flashing light.) The further i went into this room, I became more at peace. I though about my 4 kids who were very young. But I was at peace knowing they will be fine and i would see them soon. As i went deeper into this room the speckles of like faded away, and it was very very peaceful. When I was in this room I had no worries at all. Nothing bothered me at all. Its very hard to explain.,,,, Then my father who passed away 20 years ago, stepped in front of me. We had a very long talk, at the end of this talk, he said to me, "Sonny you have to turn around, this is not your time." I said to him "yes dad." and i turned away from him and floated, as I went back the speckles of light came back slowly. I woke up to see my sister holding my hand, I had a oxygen tube in my mouth. I pulled the tube from my mouth and said to my sister, "I just got done talking to daddy", she looked at me as if I had 2 heads. she was in disbelief. I know what I saw and experienced. It was real. I tell my experience to people but no one believes me. People think it was the drugs.

It is beautiful and filled with hope and love- not fear and sadness. Just as I was moving in to other videos, I received a text from my sister family in Washington. “Your beautiful sister is home now and forever.” I believe your talk helped me accompany my sister to that divine space as she transformed. It was too much of a coincidence to believe otherwise. Thank you. It is a beautiful moment, although accompanied with the sadness that I will miss her company here, I am so happy she is experiencing what you described as pure joy.

    As I stood next to my dying grandmother’s bed on July 2, 2019, she took her last breath suddenly, her chest thrust upward to the ceiling then she relaxed, I said loudly into her ear; I love you gram! And then, I felt a strong breeze flow past my face, it felt as if it moved my hair and her body relaxed, the labored breath stopped, a single tear was in the outer corner of her eye and immediately, I felt utter joy and relief for her - that her pain was over. I was cheering her on - YES MY GIRL MADE IT!! Instantly I wanted to share my happiness with her - but much like him, there was no way I could share my joy that I was so happy she was done suffering and she was able to be free.

    My husband passed almost 2 weeks ago April 9th after 10 years of congestive heart failure. I think he knew several months before he passed it was coming. He kept begging his boys who live out of state to come see him. I watched him barely eat for several months. In and out of the hospital many times since last summer. A few weeks prior we both had one good day together driving around in the car. Finally he went into the emergency room one last time. He was in the hospital for only 4 days as his heart couldn't keep enough blood flowing to keep his organs functioning. He asked to see his mother 2 days before he passed. Our sons were there and our daughter. He told me he loved me and asked to be forgiven for anything he'd ever done. We made up and loved each other more deeply than we ever had. He began looking towards the ceiling and raising his arm as if reaching, and seemed very at peace. He did this maybe 6 times on and off. That last few moments he asked to have everything stopped. IT'S, dialysis machine, oxygen, blood pressure cuff. I told the doctor and we were told his blood pressure would drop enough he would go unconscious. They gave him Morphine to make him comfortable. It didn't take long and he passed very peacefully. In the end he wanted it. Thank you for the talk. It gives me such solice to know he's free. He's happy. He feels peace. I'm grieving and am not in that place where I don't feel any pain. I know that is of my own making, but it is very hard to let go. I look forward to seeing him again when it's my turn. I hope I'm learning what I'm supposed to learn after being in the most difficult time of my life. Caring for an ailing and dying husband.

    My sister was a christian and I know she is with God today. About 1 minute before she passed on to the other side, she told my mom that she saw 2 men in white clothes hovering above her hospital bed and they told her to come. My mom said she looked up and saw nobody. Then she recited the bible verse from John 3.16 and before saying her prayers, she passed on. The truth is: God exist and we need to believe in him.

    Awesome. I saw a comment below criticising his talk as non scientific but I think there is something self evident, deeply truthful about what he is saying that we somehow relate to. I'm glad we're slowly working our way to spirituality, as a society, to have more and more talks like these all over the internet. I found this talk so useful today. I'm chasing a difficult dream and was feeling "this is too hard, too long" but now I'm feeling, I'm lucky I'm experiencing life. Thanks Lewis.

We have to accept that we will never objective truth of that higher state of reality as long as we are down herein this one. Just have to live life and love each other and try to grow and hope there is in fact life afterward! :) Personally I see evidence of God (a spiritual higher power, the being of light that people see in an NDE) all around me.

    I had one over 50 years ago, when I was given too much laughing gas by my Dentist. So I didn't have any pain, but I saw the half moon tunnel from my stretcher and saw the bright lights and hear someone behind me say " You are going to see your Father" and was brought back into the dentist's chair. I was very sick for a few days afterwards. I used to talk about NDE's year's later in a Paltalk room and it was there I figured out it was my Heavenly Father I was going to see, not my earthly Father. That is when things changed for me.

    I had an experience like this just after surgery long ago. I agree ... at the moment of leaving, for me, it was like taking off a heavy diving suit. Like going from a hot, sweaty miserable afternoon to a cool, sweet, clean evening. I think each person's experience like this is different based on his/her own expectations and beliefs. For me, it was a review and release of all the people in my life. There was an intensity of love for each one like flexing a muscle, then the release of this flexing muscle. It wasn't better than what I had, but it wasn't worse either. There just wasn't a sense of better/worse. It didn't fit where I was. There's a long story attached to this experience. I can't say that I would choose to go through it again, but it did offer me something profound and beneficial. I knew in those moments that all the pain and sense of loss and emotion and attachment to physical stuff stays with the body. Nothing was lost but there was no attachment to those things any longer. And it was all OK. In my experience, I was ready to go. It was such a relief ... so much love there. And the doctors and nurses around me were giving me what felt like electricity (not the paddles but an injection) and all I could think was, "Isn't this interesting..." At one point they turned off the respirator to see if I could breathe on my own, and my body just didn't breathe but I thought, "Isn't this interesting ..." But then, they pulled the tube out of my throat and there was suddenly this nurse with some sort of suctioning device suctioning what I thought might be blood from my lungs and I just felt this profound love for this woman. It was overwhelming! And she was frantic and said, "You're going to have to help me!" (meaning help her get this gunk out of my lungs). I thought, "Oh, I have to help her," and it was this that brought me back. I swear even today that this was the only reason I came back. I wish I could find this woman and tell her.

I didn't hold onto that relationship with them because in that moment I was aware that there's no separation. It's only through that separation that we see those we love as being outside of who we are. Hard to explain but because there was no sense of attachment, there was also no sense of loss.

    @@jonathancervantes4554 Sorry it's taken me so long to reply here. The only time I saw loved ones was at the very beginning of this seeming process. Each person's image displayed before me and I loved, loved, loved them with all my heart ... and then I let go of each one. And in the letting go, I felt lighter. It's not that I loved them any less, it's that this part of my experience didn't require me to hold onto to this. Love is all encompassing ... all inclusive. Each individual is merged into it so that no one individual is loved more than others. This is hard to explain but at this point in the experience there's no loss involved. The person we love is always part of us and there's no need to separate that person out into the one we knew in order to love them. (Hope this makes sense.) I know that there's a strong belief that when we leave this world we reconnect with those who have died before us. This is possible but not necessary. This one life experience represents only a portion of who you are. Same with those who you have known and loved. But for those who hold strong beliefs in seeing loved ones again, I don't attempt to interfere with that. To me, this allows us to relax into this experience. You also have the ability to connect with these loved ones now while still in this body. All that's required is a calling ... and an allowance. Lots of times people assume that when they remember loved ones or remember their voices, etc., that this is "just imagination" and let this go. A lot is missed in doing this but it's understandable.

    Joe Siegfried In 1984, I underwent an exploratory surgery and died for 3 min 13 seconds due to Anaphylactic shock. The worst way to die, suffocating. Wanting to scream, but no air. The experience changed everything about me. My love of Christ that I found through this short 3min 13 seconds, which would literally take days to describe, gave me new life beyond the first breath that I took again. This is not NEW AGE mumbo jumbo, in fact its an arching of new understanding. An understanding beyond any other man made religion. And with all honesty, every religion is God inspired but man made. Even the Catholic Church, which was my first experience of God, but it was intended to be an extension of Christ and the 12 Apostles. Later, the greed of that Churches hierarchy, changed it into men who sought more than God and that becomes belief in a false God. The New Age Movement is a growth spurt of new found revelations given by Christ, the laying of the hands, the bringing back of the dead. Actually, this movement has many branches, one just has to find the one that is most comfortable to climb. What I learned in death, was beyond the teachings of any religion, and falls into the New Age of faiths rediscovery. It actually shows that faith can come about by Religion, or through Spirituality. Recorded in the Bible and the Lost Books of the Bible is a quote from Jesus, " Wherever thou shall seek me, they shall find me. Look not in the adorned Temples, or the churches built laborously of stone, Rather, lift a stone or a lofty piece of wood, there you shall have your journey met, and there you shall find me waiting. God knows that there are two things that scare mankind more than any other. Those being. Public Speaking and Death. He left the speaking up to us, but in as far as a deeper understanding of death, God has gifted many with the journey of life into death, and then back into life, so that they may be shared with those tired of being afraid.

I felt like I had to tell people about what happened to me, and most people picked it apart, tried to find flaws, blame it on the fever (which came the next day not the night it happened) tried to blame it on medication (which I had not taken in 2 days prior) and if they were religious, tell me it was of the devil. I understand why people hesitate to talk... but I kept talking and today have found a group on FB that people from all over the world come to share, discuss, and talk about what we learned and what we are continuing to learn. It feels a little like that group is part of why I came back and stayed... the opportunity that was to come.

He said my brother would be gone in about half an hour. He removed the mask, but my brother didn't do that but lay there for a further four hours. I was holding his hand and watching his face. It had quite a few wrinkles as well as a scar on one part. I kept watching, then his eyes were still, and his face became totally smooth. He took his last small breath and I saw his whole face was unlined. He died the second. I watched and his face went right back to its previous state. I knew then that what I'd seen,witnessed was his Soul leaving his earthly body. He looked so calm and still and at peace.

Your description feels similar to my experience. Thanks for sharing. I only recently started to try to understand this experience and reading others experiences has been really helpful for me.

    I had an NDE in a dream. I used to do field research along the banks of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. We traveled by boat. One night I woke up from a terrifying dream. I had been watching a woman as she washed downstream in the river. She was screaming and screaming and screaming. Such screams. I was following her body as she floated downstream. I was up above at the canyon's ledge, moving along with her, watching. I felt somebody was with me. All was calm and soothing, except for the screaming. I then saw the woman's lifeless body draped over a boulder. That's when I awoke. I sat up and processed this dream for a bit. Just taking it as a dream. When I returned to my pillow and shut my eyes, I saw a brilliant white light. THE brilliant white light of yore. I bolted up, realizing that it was me in the dream. That was me screaming and screaming. Yet, I felt none of the fear or the terror that was happening in my body. I was in a comfortable, peaceful space as I watched. This experience gives me comfort that death is nothing to fear. The body may react to the trauma (if there is any trauma) but I was not subject to it. And I had a guide with me. All was well. But I have to say, getting back into the raft the next day to continue down the whitewater was a bit daunting. Until I remembered my body had floated under a bridge. There were no more bridges on the rest of our trip, so I felt it wasn't going to happen this trip.

    What he says towards the end is exactly what the Hindu holy scriptures of Vedas say and it offers various meditation/yogic techniques to become aware of it in this life itself and not after the death. We can thank those saints and sages all those years ago who compiled these texts based on their experiences.

    There will always be those who are so firmly entrenched in their worldly 3 dimensional concepts that they will be unable to encompass the reality of other dimensions and continuing life after death. That 's probably ok for such people in order to be comfortable with their present level of awareness . However, life has a habit of confronting us with situations which challenge the foundations of our current levels of understanding. Our reactions to these challenges can be either to put our fingers in our ears and pretend that such things don't exist, or alternatively open our minds and explore them. Only the individual can decide which route they take.

    I talked to this man on the phone today! I have never had a more profound conversation with a customer at work. He only told me about his second death - "you want the real story? I died." It was a rich and rewarding experience. I'm really looking forward to speaking with Lewis again. I died for about four seconds when I was seventeen, but that was only for four seconds, no coma - the REAL experience he describes came from Salvia Divinorum, which simulates death quite effectively. What a treat!!!

    I am enjoying the talk as I write. His comments on his first experience of NDE is similar to what I felt the day my Father left the earth. My sons have told me that they felt that before we are born we choose what we want to learn during life and our lives are a method to learn those lessons we wanted to learn. I have since come to believe that it is possible that when Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the Light no one comes to the father except through me" he may have been talking about the soul being the entry through which we go to god. It is in part why I tend to believe in God but not necessarily in Organized religion.

    Sheena Alexis87 I can share but they are so very similar to so many others. I guess the difference might be that I know when I am going to die and can pinpoint it to somewhere between late summer and fall of my 83rd year of life. I am a highly spiritual person but religion isn’t important. Your intentions and love are the most important. When you experience NDE you are fully conscious of past, present, and future all at once and you understand everything...you are connected (kind of like being connected via internet) instant knowledge and comprehension. I was surrounded by a feeling I can only describe as absolute love. It’s like being snuggled in a comfortable bed, floating in water, and a love you can’t comprehend till you’ve experienced it. When you return, your soul is darkened and dulled by the oppressive weight of living. You remember the higher thoughts and feelings but words escape your ability to describe. It is the most oppressive sensation...worse than any depression I have experienced. Took years to overcome living again and enjoy it. Made me an odd child. 😜

    I lost my mother just 3 weeks ago after her 4 years her dealing with Dementia . It's really a slow goodbye, She was living with my sister , after bringing her home from assisted living where she had been for 2 and half years. Even though she had dementia, she would still talk, not making much sense, perhaps, she would read to me, she would sing, in Hungarian...but the last couple of months she went blank. I went up to see her at Sisters just the week before she died, only one month ago, to say my goodbye, but now Mom can't talk, can't eat, can't drink, rarely opened her eyes. There was nothing no recognition, just a sleeping Mother with a heart and lungs pumping. I am not so sure she experienced 'anything'. I know there are many stories like this of the Lights, the Tunnel, the Joy...I don't know how it is for loved ones who die from DEMENTIA. Do they even Know they are Dying? ❤️
