A Priest and Life After Death | Stefan Lampe's Near Death Experience 

I’m so grateful for these English translations. Thank you so much for making this available.

I like it. He’s saying that divinity is beyond any human written book or dogma. God is beyond comprehension. To think you can pinpoint the universal creator is frankly an insult . The best way to understand god is through deep personal experience and holy silence

Everything we do affects everything. That’s how interconnected we are. Every little thing, all the time, whether in private or public, has a very real effect on the All That Is, everything and everyone is a part of the All, there are no exceptions. This gives me pause, I want to be a better person, make better choices, I want to be in alignment with all that is good, the Divine Goodness.

This interview has lifted me from despair and hopelessness. I am grateful to both of these humble, honest men. Thank you.

Nothing can go wrong. "All shall be well and all shall be well and every manner of thing shall be well" Julian of Norwich

As a catholic myself I have been struggling with the problems of making sense of BOTH the catholic faith AND the near death experiences. P. Lampe explains this perfectly well. Thank you!

🤗💖 I had a NDE when I was 17. It was profound and left my life full of 'knowing' when things would happen. I would get 'flashes' of events and then they would happen. One such 'flash' was the death of my child while waiting for the bus. We even talked about it three days before. When the doorbell rang at 1am, I knew what they would tell me, she was gone, it's been 48 months September 10th, she was 26, waiting for a bus and a car jumped the curb. My NDE was full of knowledge and a 'knowing' that I would lose my child. (I did not make this revelation till after she passed) I lived with two huge knots, one on each shoulder, no massage could help me after my NDE. The day after she passed, they were gone.

What I love is his absolute conviction when people ask him if they should be afraid to die, and he says with a small smile, absolutely not😌

Everything is interconnected because there's only one absolute Creator. That's why in the life review you can feel what others feel. There's really no separation.

How 2 seconds can change someone's life, and life perception...Amazing... Thanks for your testimony and for encouraging people to share!

I had an unexpected OBE as a teenager. I didn't go anywhere, but my state changed. no words, explanations or other beings were encountered. I just found myself in a timeless, universal love. no one would ever want to leave it. I realized that this infinity was the reality and the state I came from, the one with time, was a temporary illusion.

Very interesting interview, cleverly done and sober; much respect and gratitude for this man who, being a priest, had the guts to talk about his own experience which might easily put him in some troublesome position with the Church. Finally a channel that handles such a delicate matter with the right approach without inappropriate silly questions, heart wrenching piano music and pointless video editing with special effects to make it more dramatic. Excellent job. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for sharing this. There is far greater meaning in your inability to put it into words than you realize. It is hard to put “love” into words although most of experience an imperfect form of it, so it must be even harder to put the unconditional love and oneness that you experienced into words. I had an experience (not NDE) where I saw “Everything will be alright” which is similar to “Nothing can go wrong”. I was traveling to my office in Seattle last year by bus and was reading an online story where a couple were horrible to each other. I am usually empathetic and perceive others pain as my own. So reading this story deeply affected me more than usual and felt a sudden onslaught of negative emotions (sadness, betrayal, dread, anxiety, etc). Almost immediately right in front of me stood up to get down at his bus stop and his jacket had a large patch that said “Everything will be alright”. The relevance and immediacy of the message was so profound to me that I was so thankful for the experience (although it started off negatively). I used to be a skeptic and agnostic, but going through the experience (apart from others) from a first persons point of view was has helped me realize that there is far far greater meaning in this world than what would seem.

The blanket you refer to is the veil being lifted, you go back to your original state, spiritual, that's why you were aware, how we are meant to be, god bless you

What a fascinating NDE ~ I'm struck by his humility and his sense of wonder that's lasted all these decades. Those of us who have had NDEs are grateful for these accounts. They're marvelous reminders that our bodies - these skin schools - are temporary and that the rest of our time on earth is to fulfill agreements we made before out arrival to this plane. Thank you, Thanatos, for recording these interviews with experiencers and those who study consciousness. Blessings to all.

Strange i,but i lapsed as a catholic after my NDE and came to believe in an all Loving creator and it was always and always be .It dident suddenly arrive in the old testiment or new .I knew instantly that i am ,as is everyone and every living thing a spirit in an earthly experience. It's all abouty love. PURE LOVE and the progression of it in our lives .

'Not everything is good, but (ultimately) nothing can go wrong.' That's my take away and it's meaningful to me. Thank you for sharing your story.

Very interesting, very frank. It's especially interesting to hear this story from a priest. In former ages a priest sharing such an experience might be burnt at the stake. It shows how times have changed. Not having the words to describe his experience can be understood maybe by comparing it to trying to communicate with a child in the womb what the world will be like after birth. The child has no experiences of vision, hearing, tasting, etc., so how could you explain to him his future experiences after birth? But while in the womb, his body is being prepared for his future existence: legs for walking, eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, etc. Perhaps our life in the physical world is preparing us spiritually for our future existence after the death of the body. We are developing such spiritual attributes as love, kindness, compassion, knowledge, patience, etc. which will be needed in the world to come.

Such an interesting interview and account. I can relate to Stefan's words very closely, but through psychodelic experience. Anyway, I wish all religious fundementalists have expierenced something similar, world would be a better place.

"For now we see through a glass darkly..."

I wasn’t going to comment anything but the intriguing parte is that in any moments and his NDE, he mentions about the theology he grew up with and all the doctrines he has studied in the seminary, it seems that nothing he knew would help him to understand what exactly happens when someone dies.

Beloveds, Infinite gratitude for sharing 🙏🎶💛✨💫🎵🌟

Part 1. During August of 1973, I was pronounced DEAD On Arrival, at a Medical centre, and at least half an hour passed by, and then my heart started to beat again, without medical assistance... During the time I was reported to be dead, I, that is "LIFE My Real Self", felt very much alive, but not in this universe, nor did I have a human body or any other type of body. I felt NO Condemnation or judgement, but only a depth of LOVE far beyond human understanding... I saw No relatives, family or friends, and no Form, except for the Presence of pure white LIGHT.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

"Nothing can go wrong". A TRUTH of the Universe. Sending Love and Appreciation!

Thankyou for sharing. I enjoyed hearing about your experience.

Beautiful words: 'There is a reality that will expect us, for sure.' Thank you for these translations.

Thank you very much for sharing your story! 💗 It is profoundly inspiring!

I think his use of language was precise and quite illuminating. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this story, I do believe also that many people experience NDE and beside the fact that we don't have the proper language to describe them, we are also discouraged by many things ( I am an NDE also😉). I used to think, as a child, that everybody is floating, I am speaking about OBE, and is a common think. I do believe we all, as children, "know" and "see" and "hear" and "recall"much more and is sad that we are "forced" to forget or don't mention about. I am 53 now but today children are put on drugs just for beeing active, they became a burden or a trouble for those around them. I think we should pay attention and try to learn from them, everything is so much easier when you are a kid and they surely find a way to talk about anything. Thank you again❤️

Thank you for these great interviews! I really enjoy them! 🙏🏼

He is very honest and transparent with himself on this NDE. "I was too German" although a priest, he's not telling the audience what they expect him to say. Thank you Father! God bless you!

Many thanks to Mr. Lampe and the interviewer, Mr. Huemer.

Thank you very much, Father, for sharing this experience. May God bless you.

Wow! What an interesting interview! Thank you very much for sharing it !!

Fascinating interview. Especially intrigued by his statement that although he didn't experience anything negative he was still aware that something existed that wasn't good. Man that gets me thinking I wish he could've tried going a bit further on that some thing.

NDE do not need for the person to die. It is the experience of seeing the other side that is usually reserved for those who die. I have had this. I have not come anywhere near death. This sort of experience is available to anyone if they listen to the word of God. God speaks to all, all the time. Those who say this is not true do not listen to God in their own lives.

Love, love, love this interview.

Great quality channel! Thank you for your efforts on such an important and interesting topic!

Fascinating interview, very honest discussion and sharing. Thank you so much.

What an interesting perspective. Such a wise gentle soul.

Wonderfully expressed. Thanks for being so true to yourself, your God and your vocation. God's Blessings.😇🙏💪

These THANOS videos are wonderful. This is the first NDE by a priest I've discovered. I was raised catholic and was surprised how non-religious his encounter was and yet he has seemed to experience the 'peace of God'. ..... (A little shocked that Stefan Lempe isn't addressed as "Father Lempe' in the caption, let alone the interview.)

This was an amazing interview. This was genuine and real.

I really appreciate his candor. Reassuring.

A key point that profound experiences in our life should shine forth from us to help humanity.

I love a man who chooses his words carefully. Beautiful testimony and of great comfort to me.

He felt he couldn't explain well but I think he did better than most. Very helpful descriptions.

Thank you for sharing...The continuation of and Eternal Life is REAL indeed and very comforting to know we'll experience the Light and Love of Jesus who is with us and our Loved ones...Always

Thank you so much, an excellent presentation. Thanks must also go to the translator, great work.

I think he's very intellectually religious which is kind of limiting the way he could have really experienced more in terms of emotionally. More will be revealed to him when he's more ready. God bless him.

Impressive. It's so difficult to find NDEs experienced by priests... and with such a good interpretation, as Stefan Lampe's. I'm making a similar work in Spain and I can tell this interview is just a treasure. Thanks to everybody who made it possible.

Thank you very much!!!

Hello! Thank you for this interview. I'm a life long Catholic, an American. I've had many spiritual/mystic events during my life. I've always understood these experiences in the light of religion because of my upbringing? I've also had a strong interest in "Near Death Experiences" and have been hoping to hear a priest who has had a NDE. I think too it is time to mature in the understanding of these life events and spirituality, rather than through religion. Thank you Father Lampe. Denise

Thank u fr translating...an important message that makes you think...

Thank you for this interview. When he tries so hard to sum it up at 30:00, he says that "Nothing can go wrong".. That reminded me so much of the book, "A course in miracles". The opening statement of that book reads "Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists. herein lies the peace of God". so fascinating.

LOVED this interview. I appreciated Stefan Lampe's view on what happened to him.

Faith is fundamental and extremely important. Let us not lose our faith, brothers and sisters.

I really love that a lot of the NDE's presented on this channel are more.... I'll say 'structural', ie. they inform something much more like a dual-action monism or neutral monist type of metaphysics rather than being an explosion of something like teenage excitement about specific symbols. While the later can bring some people hope it doesn't help those as much who want to get a grasp on 'how do I inform my life decisions with this information'. Stories like this (and Anke Evertz) OTOH are incredibly helpful.

Thanks for sharing! Though I have not had a NDE I have experienced many quantum moments that have effected me in a blessed spiritual way . Namaste 🙏

Thank you

its really cool to see a catholic priest talk about his NDE without bringing religious dogma into it all and quoting scriptures. not that i think quoting scriptures is bad......well......idk what i think but its just nice to see he's genuine

Absolutely fascinating. One of your best videos. Especially given that he is a catholic priest.

Basically reality has to be bigger than what we know outside of our perception and scale. Just as a tree we see is not the source of its life, but the seed underneath ; Our bodies are like that tree, just for show , but there’s a seed inside of us which is the source. And so something that is Small like a seed will experience time and space at a density which will warp what we perceive as time itself. The wavelength of colors at that small scale will also look different because of the higher peaks of the wave lengths Experienced at a shorter distance. The phenomenon of experience transcends the fluctuations of all of this reality as a separate phenomenon into itself, so it is most likely that experience itself continues on for eternity

Yeah he’s kind of not really telling us nothing except for the others were more than what we think we are which I agree and I wish she would explain more?

I've been through similar experiences yet not NDE. It just happens. I'm shown scenes, know information, I'm with a guide. Its mind boggling. Hard to express. Traumatic in a way because its life altering.

30:40 the summa of his experience is exactly what christian mystic Julian of Norwich repeated troughout her work: "Jesus answered with these words, saying: 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.' ... This was said so tenderly, without blame of any kind toward me or anybody else".

I think that when he says, “faith is a crutch” it is not the meaning Americans give to the word. There is mention of a walking stick which is something to assist us in the act of walking. If one hikes he knows that the stick can keep him from falling, assist him in going uphill with added strength and lightness, and even slow his steps when going too quickly downhill. Using the strength of the stick with his hands he can straighten his body enough to take a deeper breath when more oxygen is needed into his lungs. The stick can relieve pressure from some parts of the body that are becoming fatigued. So I would say that if faith is something that can greatly help us in our walk of understanding Christ, then a walking stick, or crutch in his German word, would be a great metaphor.

I reccomend a book titled "Imagine Heaven" by John Burke detailing various person's NDE.

Because humans brain is limited we can't fathom God or eternity, so we were given religion and faith to see what is possible in a tiny way in this life and our love of God through our our actions with others.

Enjoy your videos very much.

Me: I had this wonderful experience where... Family & friends: oh so you’ve gone insane! What is wrong with people? Everyone hurries to protect themselves like a new concept is a death sentence 😞

Lovely

Sounds like he was struggling to explain this experience. He's clearly confused and still processing this and yet profoundly affected by it.

It's a bit easier to grasp when we compare it to the one body we each have, the one with over 50 trillion unique, individual cells, yet it's still one. Why not see ourselves as "cells" in the "body" of Source/God? It even makes more sense of The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you looks all the more stark when realizing the others are also you, different cells in the one form. ~♥~

Thank you JESUS CHRIST

Excerpts from Jiddu krishnamurthi's "Commentries on living" "One day I set out for those hills with my painting things, for I had seen something over there which I wanted to paint. It was fairly early in the morning when I got to the place, and there were a few clouds in the sky. From where I was I could see across the valley to the bright sea. I was enchanted to be alone, and began to paint. I must have been painting for some time, and it was coming along beautifully, without any strain or effort when I became aware that something was taking place inside my head, if I can put it that way. I was so absorbed in my painting that for a while I did not notice what was happening to me, and then suddenly I was aware of it. I could not go on with my painting, but I sat very still." After a moment's pause, he continued. "Don't think me crazy, for I am not, but sitting there I was aware of an extraordinarily creative energy. It wasn't I that was creative, but something in me, something that was also in those ants and in that restless squirrel. I don't think I am explaining this very well, but surely you understand what I mean. It was not the creativeness of some Tom, Dick or Harry writing a poem, or of myself painting a silly picture; it was just creation, pure and simple, and the things produced by the mind or by the hand were on the outer fringes of this creation, with little significance. I seemed to be bathed in it; there was a sacredness about it, a benediction. If I were to put it in religious words, I would say... But I won't. Those religious words stick in my mouth, they no longer have any meaning. It was the centre of Creation, God himself.... Again these words! But I tell you, it was holy, not the man-made holiness of churches, incense and hymns, which is all immature nonsense. This was something uncontaminated, unthought of, and tears were rolling down my cheeks; I was being washed clean of all my past. The squirrel had stopped fretting about its next meal, and there was an astonishing silence - not the silence of the night when all things sleep, but a silence in which everything was awake. "I must have sat there, motionless, for a very long time, for the sun was in the west; I was a little stiff, one leg had gone to sleep, and I could stand up only with difficulty. I am not exaggerating, sir, but time seemed to have stopped - or rather, there was no time. I had no watch, but several hours must have passed from the moment I put my brush down to the moment I got up. I was not hysterical, nor had I been unconscious, as some might conclude; on the contrary, I was fully alert, aware of everything that was happening around me. Picking up all my things and carefully putting them in my knapsack, I left, and in that extraordinary state I walked back to my house. All the noises of a small town did not in any way disturb that state, and it lasted for several hours after I got home. When I awoke the next morning, it was completely gone. I looked at my painting; it was good, but nothing outstanding. "Sorry to have talked so long," he concluded, "but it has been bottled up in me, and I could not have talked to anyone else. If I did, they would call in a priest, or suggest one of those analysts. Now I am not asking for an explanation, but how does this thing come into being? What are the circumstances necessary for it to be?" You are asking this question because you want to experience it again, are you not? "I suppose that is the motive behind my question, but..." Please, let us go on from there. What is important is not that it happened, but that you should not go after it. Greed breeds arrogance, and what is necessary is humility. You cannot cultivate humility; if you do, it is no longer humility but another acquisition. It is important, not that you should have another such experience, but that there should be innocence, freedom from the memory of experience, good or bad, pleasant or painful. "Good Lord, you are telling me to forget something which has become of total importance to me. You are asking the impossible. I cannot forget it, nor do I want to." Yes, sir, that is the difficulty. please listen with patience and insight. What have you now? A dead memory. While it was happening it was a living thing and there was no 'me' to experience that living thing, no memory clinging to what had been. Your mind was then in a state of innocency, without seeking, asking, or holding; it was free. But now you are seeking and clinging to the dead past. Oh, yes, it is dead; your remembrance has destroyed it and is creating the conflict of duality, the conflict between what has been and what you hope for. Conflict is death, and you are living with darkness. This thing does happen when the self is absent; but the memory of it, the craving for more, strengthens the self and prevents the living reality. "Then how am I to wipe away this exciting memory?" Again, your very question indicates the desire to recapture that state, does it not? You want to wipe away the memory of that state in order to experience it further, so craving still remains, though you are willing to forget what has been. Your craving for that extraordinary state is similar to that of a man who is addicted to drink or to a drug. What is all-important is not the further experiencing of that reality, but that this craving should be understood and should voluntarily dissolve without resistance, without the action of will. "Do you mean that the very remembering of that state, and my intense urge to experience it again, are preventing something of a similar or perhaps a different nature from happening? Must I do nothing, consciously or unconsciously, to bring it about?" If you really understand that is so. "You are asking an almost impossible thing, but one never knows."

All these experiences of NDE, out of body and "in the spirit" are those which have taken place in us while in human form. To explain in human terms what concepts there are in the spiritual world and that to which we really belong to is very difficult since in our human form we can only try to explain in human terms. In effect this limits us to our life experiences and our interpretations of those events. Most people who have been exposed to an experience that was purely spiritual like a momentary opening to a knowledge that transcends all those you have had as a human may take a lifetime if ever to understand. Try explaining in your native language to someone who has never heard it before. My own was a split second of human time that showed me an example of the connection of all things created. And I do mean ALL and everything. My own closest weak human understanding is that we are part of the thought of the creator and live in that thought in one form now but His when this temporary life is over. As such, why would we treat anything else worse than we treat ourselves if we are in fact all the same thing? I think this is the lesson of love being most important.

I left my body in 1979 in the bedroom, i could see clearly in the dark although it was dark and felt better in that state than in the body and i was a teen, i looked at my sleeping body and felt nothing at all for it . This lasted maybe less than a minute and i had a cocoon of warmth about me in that state.

Danke🇦🇹💜🇦🇹

i would ask for a list of every planet with life on it.....

I agree with him about how, on this side of The curtain, faith being j "merely," - metaphorically - a walking crutch

father Stefan what would you like to tell the death people i had seen that seems to be in a purgative stage?

Cj very interesting ❤❤❤❤

When I accepted Jesus and with my eyes closed I saw a golden light, felt love like I'd never known or since felt and heard/felt the Angels in heaven rejoicing. That's why I don't worry so much about Church or religion. All we need is Jesus!

Could this be explained by a DMT rush caused by the trauma of the accident? I am just asking in good faith

The Bible says,faith is the assurance of things hoped for. The conviction of things not seen. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Yes, We need that “crutch”, until we see face to face.

Amazing❤

A personal revelation, which makes one aware of the web of life, contains such vast amounts of information, that interpreting it to the listener, is a challenge beyond the imagination, of the listener. Everyone who attempts this impossible feat, deserves accolades, just for trying.

God is timeless he cannot be defined. To define him is to limit him and that is impossible.

Watch ND experiencers faces as they attempt to describe their experience. Not all but many, their faces take on a look, a subtle gaze of being transported. As if, in a way, they are in that place again. Their countenance changes. I think when someone has a ND or some type of out of body experience, their "being" is now aware -- the space between here and there no longer has any bounds.

Amazing insight from a man of the cloth. Very interesting.

I love how he sees faith and religion as a "crutch" that we use on this side and that clearly there's a much deeper reality beyond this. He also said, when summing-up his experience that "nothing can go wrong", which is something I've heard other nde people say. From my understanding I think he and others were saying that whether good bad or indifferent, it's exactly as it always is intended, everything for a reason.

I did DMT and had a NDE maybe out of body- but truly the feeling of connectedness and perfectness is so great it’s like being reinman you understand everything so curiosity slips you because you are sitting in pure majesty . You are aware of every molecule/ atom , how they connect from the smallest all the way to the biggest , you can see how the universe is built on top of itself?! Something like that. It is stacked and time begins in another direction.

I had a similar experience except my entire car with my husband and me were lifted to safety. .I have no idea where we went but we watched from above. Then returned when it was safe. All rush hour traffic halted on our behalf. I'm not explaining it well but it was the same experience he described. Without this intervention we both would definitely be DEAD.

He did a great job explaining except when he said " I'm not explaining well" .. it was fine other than that!! Enjoyed it✨💓💫🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏿🤗

Thank you for sharing. Amazing... This is the only place where I found NDE stories of people who never actually went through the clinical death as we know it.

We all need prayers 🙏

Is it like being lost in time!! I looked down on fields of patches of flowers and grass areas/woods.lots similar to this story.

This world is a reality and when we pass away we go into another reality or another reality or another one or another one or another one and another one and another one some you would not want to go
