Heather, I just love your channel. Right now, I’m very intrigued with angels. I’d really like to hear more detailed descriptions of them from guests who have encountered them. Do they have unique and differing facial features like us? How are they dressed? Do warrior, guardian and scribe angels look different from each other and how? Do warrior or archangels have swords? What do guardian angels look like and do they all communicate telepathically or do they have voices? Has anyone seen archangels, cherubim or seraphim or any other angels from the 9 choirs? Honestly, it’s all fascinating, and John is probably my favorite guest you’ve interviewed. As a devout Christian, his accounts are reassuring and encouraging. Will definitely be getting his books!

@PatsySquire 7 месяцев назад

I think that we are here on earth as a learning experience to help us appreciate what we have in heaven. I have always found that someone will take for granted what they have until they experience the opposite. I believe that is part of our reason for being here.

@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch 7 месяцев назад

Agree. A warm spring day is always most welcome after a cold winter.

@stevew1487 7 месяцев назад

That may be a natural consequence of life on Earth vs. life in heaven but I don't think it extends deep enough for it to be a fundamental purpose. One could also argue the opposite; that the perfection of heaven is meant to inspire life on Earth to be better. The counter to that could be that in heaven we have full recall of the life on Earth therefore the contrast would have the full effect, whereas on Earth we usually have no direct memory of heaven so the contrast would have little effect for the stated purpose, but that earthly amnesia may just be a temporary consequence of the current conditions on Earth and may change in the course of evolution, and even under current conditions some intuitions of our heavenly state may leak through in a sufficient amount, distorted though they may be, to inspire a tendency or desire to improve conditions here. In summary I think life on Earth has its own arc of purpose greater than just as a subplot for life in heaven, current contrasting conditions not withstanding.

When I came back to earth after my Nde I looked at both hands and had a circle ⭕️ on both and I still have them today and the angles told me that I was gifted with many spiritual gifts I could just keep on writing about my trip to heaven but it would take much to long oh and I saw my small 8 yr old body in the ambulance and I could see very clearly my mom holding my hand crying.

Heather I know it is very hard to understand about the circles actually I never met any other person with these circles on there hands I wish I did I guess many other people that had a Nde experience has different experiences not every person will go through the very same things I should just be happy that I have been blessed I wish I could show you my hands it’s pretty remarkable I do know one thing that all that matters is love that’s it. Sincerely, Carol

@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch 7 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same thing that I wish you could somehow put a photo in the comments. I’d love to see it.

@stevew1487 7 месяцев назад

The Circle is the symbol of connection (all points connected) so it could be a reminder of your connection with the higher worlds, with others, with both, or a symbol of the oneness of everything in general, but probably also an indication that you represent that greater oneness through your physical body and your earthly activities.

@SFXingful 7 месяцев назад

I'd rather think that this "fallen angel" is more some kind of thought form that she created with her obsession/idolatry over her son. These "demons" are really something that we seem to create or help create by feeding a negative energy. They are less real, or ultimately unreal - like the energy they represent (Fear). While "God" seems to want us to understand that feeding into the positive energy creates more positive experiences (represent Love). This man here is a pastor, he's really coming at it from a traditional christian point of view still, everything is very literal. Don't think it's that way, but for traditional Christians that is the way they preferably look at things. I know because I grew up in a very fundamentalist christian household and it was hard to deal with. Research is so different from first hand experience.

@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your thoughts. I really enjoy reading and hearing various views and perspectives, such as yours as well as John’s. John certainly is coming at it from a Christian perspective which is important to many of my listeners. Other guests I have had on hold a very different view. I love the variety. I think that is how we grow in our understanding. We can take from each experiencer what fits for us and leave behind what doesn’t. John is not a fundamentalist. I found him to be just the opposite. I love how open minded he is as he considers things that occur in near death experiences that are outside of the teachings of the Bible. He really was fun to talk to.

Interesting for a Paster to research this as is SHOULD result in a conflict of beliefs. The vast majority of proper NDEs result in the person no longer being part of traditional church if they were attending as certain critical belief structures are revealed to the NDE'er as false. The question of spirit guides was the defining question that showed up his bias. He has a way to go on this journey still.

@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch 5 месяцев назад

@stevew1487 7 месяцев назад

I feel the apparition of her son was not necessary a fallen angel but simply an errant spirit taking advantage of her grief, such as someone whom had lived on Earth and led a not very good life and was thus not allowed to proceed into the higher realms. I believe eventually it would have turned on her and directed her to make wrong moves in her life, such as killing herself. These spirits take joy in bringing people down to their level. The reason she was susceptible to its influence probably had something to do with being unable to let go of her earthly grief in spite of Jesus showing her her son was happy. The angel appearing and telling her she already knew the nature of this spirit indicates that ultimately she would bear some responsibility for her collaboration with it, because while spirits can deceive us, we must deceive ourselves first.

Out of my body and was put in a ambulance and I could see very clearly all around me and I saw my mom with me in the ambulance holding my hand crying I could see she ripped her dress because she fell down on the ground because she was in shock when she saw that it was me that was laying on the ground you see Heather my mom was heading home in her car but then she didn’t realize that when she saw a accident that I was the one who was hit and then I could see my body in a stretcher rushed into the childrens hospital and I was taken to surgery right away and then this is when I saw the doctor operating on my small body and I could hear all the conversations between the doctor and the nurses and then when I was able to talk again when I finally awoke from my Coma and Nde I could not wait to tell the doctor and the nurses all about what they said about me and I was given another gift I saw some of my moms future and guess what all I told my mom that would happen 100 percent was right I told my mom she would meet this man in the future and she would marry him and I told her what he looked like and that he had a missing thumb on his right hand and that he would build her a beautiful home in the country and again I was right I could go on but it would take up to much room.

I feel like the spirit world has so many layers and twists to unpack there that no one should take it at the face value, since one can be deceived. I have listened to so many NDE stories and some of them had God and angels yet they did not make any sense. Yes, indeed there are entities there that can easily deceive souls or even trap them. I don't know if they are fallen angels or evil spirits. There could be way more layers to the dark side too.

@stevew1487 7 месяцев назад

I'm not sure what you mean by 'easily'. There are people on Earth who send large amounts of money to scammers, but most people are not susceptible to that. In the Bible Satan is depicted as the tempter. My sense is, all of these things begin with our own weaknesses, and then there are those entities, human or otherwise, who will try to exploit that for various reasons or purposes. Our human body is exposed to many pathogens, but through that exposure it learns to reject foreign and destructive influences. A similar pattern may extend to our spiritual life; through experience we learn to reject these false lights and misleading voices and become spiritually stronger in the process. Ultimately what we're dealing with are our own weaknesses, the price of which, while they last, is the potential for exploitation, but it's never a one way street and our cooperation, gained through our own weakness, is essential. It is always our own will we act upon. It may be an uninformed will, but it remains always our own to learn how to use properly.

@harlanlang6556 7 месяцев назад

Paul's ideas about the "spiritual body" sounds like an NDE, and I don't think that this idea was an orthodox Jewish view. This may also be the reason Paul and the Apostles didn't agree on certain issues. Since Paul never heard Jesus teach, he could only know what he heard from other Christians or from his own experience. But he wrote with authority stemming from his personal spiritual experience. It's interesting how most Christians are not aware of these teachings of Paul which are so NDE like. People tend to be blind to the data that does not fit their world view, and not intentionally. We just naturally filter out what doesn't fit. I agree with Paul that we shouldn't believe everybody who claims to have had an NDE. There are always those who fake it for attention, or as a way to make money writing a book. We need to look for the common elements, and of course those who "died" during a medical procedure and were then revived are likely to be genuine. Paul's reference to the Book of Revelations stating that the Glory of God is the source of Light in heaven, and Jesus is it's Lamp makes me think of how this could be understood by followers of other religions. We could think of Buddha as being a heavenly Lamp also, or Muhammed, or Moses. Lamps may be shaped differently, be of a different color or may give off more or less light, but the light is from the same Source. But people tend to focus on the physical attributes and beauty of their Lamp, rather than the Light itself. Some astronomers now are thinking that maybe the universe isn't just vast, but is infinite. And it seems very likely that there are millions of earth-like planets in the habitable zone of their stars just in our own galaxy. We have just recently shown that every star has at least one planet, and probably many. So the idea that earth is the only planet with intelligent beings with rational souls is highly unlikely. I agree with Paul that our future is to expand into the universe, but we should expect to find "people" from other planets doing the same thing. And won't that be interesting to compare notes concerning religion?

@stevew1487 7 месяцев назад

I find it interesting that because of the distance between star systems, by the time we're able to travel between them we'll probably be far more spiritually as well as technically advanced, so the idea of, for example, interplanetary war should probably be left to science fiction, at least in this part of the galaxy.

there is lack of explaining what heaven looks like, as i read in the Bible since when i was a child, until my teenage days, and i'm 53 yrs. old now, really those ''12 gates'' were made of pearls, and its walls were made of ''first class'' stones and ''12 kinds'' too of stones, layer by layers, such as diamond, ruby, emerald, etc., that was recorded in the Bible, and still in my memory, coz i repeatedly reading that, eagerly wants to picture it in my mind, and want to go there what it really looks like in real, there's a river of life, roads were golds, and at the center of it is the Father Almighty which is the source of light and there is NO nights there in heaven.

You’ve lost me with guests that try to fit NDEs into a religious box. To each their own I suppose, but it doesn’t feel right to me when are pushing Christianity

In my opinion, to grow we need to listen to a variety of things, even things outside of our beliefs and comfort zone. I have a variety of guests, some have religious views, many don’t, but what they all have in common is sharing the importance of love. Each person that comes on is sharing their story through the lens of their life so naturally they may interpret things differently amongst them. I still think they have great value if we open our minds and listen to the main themes and messages they share. John is a great guy and he is actually very open to things some pastors would not be.
