“No amount of worry is going to transform your future. And no amount of grief is going to fix your past.”

I loved the statement he made - “The point of music is to listen. The point of life is to live”. Beautiful!

I lost my mum in February 2021. On my birthday in 2023 April 29 - I was sitting in the garden and it was cold and grey. I was thinking of my mum and how I wasn’t there when she passed. Suddenly the sun came out and a tiny blue butterfly landed by my foot. It was beautiful and I had never seen one like it before. I knew it was from her.

I've been in healthcare 30+ years trained in integrative functional medicine and had a stroke back in April 2022 due to a medication I was taking. ER docs wanted to give me TPA which is a clot busting drug, but something in my mind told me to refuse it and I did. Then they wanted to give me something to lower my blood pressure and again something in my head told me to refuse it and I did. Turns out I had a low blood flow infarction in the left posterior limb of the internal capsule due to the prescribed vasodilator I was taking. I could get into more details, but basically I was admitted to the hospital and every test and scan you can imagine was done and nothing was found to have caused the stroke and that is why it was concluded that the vasodilator caused it. Anyways, later that night I couldn't move the entire right side of my body and I remember asking God what it was that I could learn from this. Then I heard this clear voice in my head say to forget about the past, don't worry about the future, and focus on the NOW! Live your life and do what makes you happy without hurting others in the process. So, a month later I followed up with a neurologist and he looked over all my scans and test results and basically said that if I would have taken the TPA I could have had a major brain bleed due to my BP being 213/110 at the time. AND, if I would have taken the medicine to lower my BP, it could have caused more strokes because my body was naturally increasing my BP due to the low blood flow. So, God saved me from death and gave me another chance at life and I am here to help people for as long as God allows! Blessings to all!

My friend, you not only had a NDE, but also a spiritual awakening. Trust it and continue your journey inwards. ❤

Wow, this video is absolutely mind-blowing! To hear a hardcore atheist forensic pathologist who has cut thousands of brains and conducted numerous autopsies, share his profound near-death experience is truly remarkable. It's incredible how someone so deeply rooted in science and skepticism can have an experience that challenges the belief that NDEs are just chemical reactions in the brain. Dr. Cummings' journey shows us that there is so much more to life, death, and consciousness than we might realize. This story is a powerful reminder that the mysteries of existence go beyond what we can see and measure. Thank you for sharing this compelling and transformative experience!🥰🥰🥰

I’ve not had a NDE that I am aware of….I was a dialysis nurse my whole nursing career. One day in late January 2021 everything changed. I had a very emotional experience to my sons’ dad dying. I could not be a nurse in dialysis any more. I gave a two month notice. I started having issues with the reason we were keeping people alive, sometimes against their will. A lot of our patients only chose dialysis over death because their family did not want them to go. Our patients would tell us they were ready to go. I saw this time and time again. It was so sad. I retired early in March 2021. Thank you for telling your story.

My Mother passed away in 1995 of cancer. She was seventy four. In 2014 I happened to be passing through the village where she once lived, and decided to take a walk down by the riverside and say a prayer of thanksgiving for her life and love. At the end of the prayer the sun came shining through the trees and seemed to be pulsating. I took a photograph of the sun. A little later that year I happened to look at the photo (my thumbnail photo left shows it. Click on to enlarge) and noticed in the top left corner, Red and Blue Rays, also a White Form (soul?) attached to the white form, a Round Orb. I zoomed in on the orb and within the orb I saw a young ladies face, smiling back at me. I recognised the face immediately, it was my mother face. The face is at a slight angle.

I had a strange experience while undergoing major abdominal surgery. I remember going under then suddenly being aware of being above my head. I had full 360 vision. No noise, just an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility. I saw three light beings at the end of the bed. I thought “ this is strange@ and then i awoke in intensive care. Ever since then, i went from a real go getter, to having no focus other than wanting to be near nature.

Had my NDE over 20 years ago. I distinctly remember thinking. If this is dying, then dying isn't a big deal. I also clearly remember communicating with something else. The experience did not make me more spiritual in a religious sense but rather has made me aware that life and death are natural phenomena that exist alongside one another.

We are here to experience. We shouldn't take others or ourselves too seriously. We should try our best and let go of the rest.

The way you react emotionally makes your story so authentic to me. From early youth I was fascinated by death. I read all literature about it. Raymond Moody, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross you name it. They all gave me insight into matters of death. It is in my nature to seek out and analyse things around me. I intuitively feel that there is more between heaven and earth. As a kid I had some special experiences that no one could explain. But as you get older you have to conform to society standards. People may think that I am a strange guy, a freak but that doesn't matter to me. I know there is more than this narrow vision on life. I thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

I have watched and listened to dozens of these near death experiences but for some reason this one really hits home the honesty is like sunlight with no Shadows

Beautiful ! I had a super hard time when my mother died of lung cancer at the age of 77... we were very close and I was expecting her death but when the time came I was so grief stricken that she was gone . I couldn’t talk to her and I kept forgetting I couldn’t call her on the phone ... I was just bedside myself with longing for her that I didn’t want to be here anymore . But I knew she wouldn’t want me to feel like that so I kept going and tried so hard to come to terms with it , but it took a good 15 years to be ok .. and I really hope and pray that there is a beautiful afterlife so I can know she’s ok and happy . And the older I get , I’m slowly knowing she is .. and I can’t wait to see her again ! ♥️ So I keep her and all my loved ones close to my heart and one day we will all be together again .

Don’t know if you’ve heard of Dr Eben Alexander but he had an incredible, life changing experience as well. He is an American NeuroSurgeon who was an atheist and had a near death experience while in a medically induced coma due to an undiagnosed rare form of spinal meningitis. He wrote a few books about his experiences and they are truly inspiring and fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I pray you continue to understand and process your journey!! There is so much we have to discover and remember about our true selves. God bless you all ❤ Diane xoxo

A suggestion: Meditate on the "Now? The way to do that is to simply not allow the Past or the Future to interupt your thoughts for a period of time. Sit in stillness and peace and try to think on Nothing. When any thought intrudes, simply give it a "No thank you" and let it pass on by. After a while you will be simply sitting in the Now. I discovered this years ago in a time of tremendous difficulty.... and the Now took me out of all of the fear, darkness, and uncertainty that I had been trapped in. I was drenched in Peace and Joy. Try it... if it works, great. Just keep trying until you get there.... and then do it as often as possible. It's very educational as well.....

I had such experience in 2006, I was pronounced dead at the spot… I went on the “other side”, experienced it for a short “moment” (which according to those who witnessed the situation has lasted for more than 2 hours), and I can’t explain what I’ve experienced. I have no words for that experience… However, that moment changed my entire life. It made me incredibly aware of myself, I can no longer use “we” or “us” when I talk, I talk only from my own perspective as I lost the sense of being part of larger social group in which I can blend if I feel weak or if I need support- I can’t be more aware of what’s the value of “now” and “ I ”, and how that value is what God has defined. I regularly feel dreamy like if I’m doubting if I’m actually here now, if this is all a dream, because the “other side” was much more real and complete as experience. Bottom line: such experiences change one’s life entirely and sets in on a very steady course where there’s no doubt why is one here, present as human in this reality. God is more real than the life itself, that’s what I can say for sure.

Oh wow! I've suffered laryngiospasms for roughly 32 years. It ended my flying career, which was devastating. I've had some really bad ones that had me on my knees, or stumbling outside when home alone, so people would see me collapse in the yard, and if nothing else so someone would find my body before my wife came home from work. It's unbelievably scary and I'm convinced that there's a good possibility that I may eventually suffer a heart attack from the extreme stress. Anyways... thank you for sharing your beautiful NDE. I've watched and read hundreds of accounts and they are the closest thing to proof of an afterlife there is. One lesson is weaved throughout nearly all, and it's that LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

I had an NDE which took me to what I can only discribe as a past life I was in a coma for 3 weeks which took me on a journey across points not just in my present life but across times in the past too. After coming out of the coma (with a brain injury and damaged sight) my thoughts and even native English language was disrupted by a completely different language that I'd never learned and visuals that were extremely real and related these were at their height when suffering epileptic seizures which had begun due to the incident that caused me to be in hospital. I now feel like I'm living between various dimensions, all that was close to me before is /are gone, I trust no one but my animals.

Dr Cummings, thank you for sharing this from your heart. I feel for the atheists so deeply engrained in medicine that they've lost all idea of universal consciousness and I am grateful you had this experience and that it transformed you so much as a person and that you're able to share it with the world. Your experience will help many atheists understand truth. Thank you again.

I've never heard of this happening to anybody else. I was swimming in St. Augustine and got taken by an undertow. Then I heard it... what sounded like the voice of my maternal grandfather on a Sony Cassette recorder. He said "Now David, if you ever get caught by an undertow remember to push off whenever your foot, hand, knee, or elbow hits the bottom." So I tried it once, didn't get it right. Tried again- and all of a sudden I was floating up... by that time I was about 30 feet under and almost lost my breath before I got to the surface, but I did make it by slowly streaming air out. Then I was above the water. The whole thing was amazing.

I had a widow maker heart attack. I was out on a hike. I knew I would die if I didn’t make it back to my car. The pain was terrible. I remember thinking that I could drop dead at anytime. I knew my wife would be ok. I had no fear, but a calm acceptance. I made it to my car and warmed myself up and the heart attack stopped. While not an NDE, I have been profoundly changed by the experience.

For my whole life up to retirement I worked in the English public mortuary system as a post-mortem technician ( APT) In my career I probably dealt with 50.000 plus deaths, from every cause imaginable, I have worked in post Mortem rooms with up to 20 bodies on post mortem tables. The doctor is right you cannot see the soul in that dissected brain, you cannot see the love (or hate) in that person’s heart but I always thought the cases I was dealing with, no matter the condition, or mode of Death, I knew What was in front me was just an empty vessel. The one sure thing in life is “ none of us are getting out alive” Our consciousness is what makes us alive, and I am convinced that what goes with us when we are dead.

Thank You for sharing your amazing story🧡 when my Mother died i dropped to my knees and cried out to God and i immediately saw her on a basketball court runnng and jumping and shouting Im free..Im free..Im finallly free. Jesus was standing there and a bunch of people on the sidelines. Then she looked right at me and said "Embrace the Moment" "Embrace the Moment" "Embrace the Moment" 3 times and then said... i finally am!

Your emotions throughout the whole process was vivid & tangible & beautiful. Thank u for sharing your story.

9-15-2024 noon loved your video❤81 yo female, retired, RN, 1982, took a 4 day raft tour (old army surplus rafts) down the Colorado from Moab to Lake Powell. No longer able to leave my house due to falls😮but still have my memories 👵🏻👍

I had a NDE. This life is a shadow of what is to come.

There is much more to life than anyone can imagine.

I had a NDE while I was being born. It allowed me to have my veil partially removed. Its a challenge to live in a world where so many others dont understand. But, so many are waking up now without the need to experience a NDE. Someday we all will be able to transcend at will, either way, in or out of a body just to enjoy the wonderful experience of life.

Having lost both my children in the last few years i often wonder : what their last thoughts here What were thoughts were immediately after they woke on the other side Did they suffer Will i see them again I know it’s selfish but i miss them every day Peace to you

Peter, having been a forensic pathologist and an atheist to boot, lends so much more credibility to the truth of what really occurs in a near death experience. I had my own episode, yet less dramatic and it changed my whole way of thinking. I found myself choking up while hearing the raw emotion that I once had felt in the aftermath. Thank you Peter for being brave enough to share your experience with a skeptical world.

Your description is one of the most convincing that I have read - and I only started reading in last few months. Thank for being willing to share your story.

What an absolutely lovely NDE. I'm not a physician but I did spend ~ 25 years at the bench in the Life Sciences. He mentions "malignant academia" and I am so glad he did. Medical school , vet school and science is sooooooo ego based and brain based. The heart and feelings are NEVER mentioned or dealt with. For me it was a mixed bag of having a great time in college and in "corporate science" AND never FEELING like I belonged or could be myself. It didn't take an NDE for me to change careers. Anyone looking on the outside would say "Well you are nuts to move on from science" and that was my choice.

Always doubly impressive coming from a person of science. Beautiful testimony.❤❤

In my opinion, we are here to learn from our experiences so that our essence can deepen, grow and evolve. As we grow deeper and more conscious, we expand the experience of the whole. The goal is to live everyday loving the gift of life. It's not about climbing social or career ladders, being better than someone else or even gaining a lot of popularity. Living in gratefulness for our existence, moment to moment, allows us to be at peace about our lives, to lay down worry and fear in exchange for peace and wholeness. In almost all stories about NDE's, there's always a theme of peace, love and okayness. I gather it must be the ego that tangles us up in life's drama. I want to live as if I've already passed into this knowing. Why not trust love to lead and keep us? The way I personally practice this is by giving space to all other human beings to be wherever they are in their walk of life and to choose love for everyone and all things. Love clears the path for others to awaken. In doing so, we make way for a sweeter transition for ourselves. Everyone can practice love.

So I think this is almost an NDE because this guy remained focused and in control and saved himself. He didn’t leave his body. The experience taught him to value life more and to live in the present.

Same thing happened to me but I had a strangulated intestine. Everything he said that happened to him after his NDE happened to me, too. Changed my life forever and my husband’s life. This is the first NDE that I can relate to.

This is the best most comforting video I’ve ever watched here on RU-vid about NDE. What an in depth explanation of his experience. The fact that he, being a skilled physician/scientist/specialist who saw death on a regular basis. We all think of death as the end and painful. We all know how we got here, we just don’t know how and when we’re leaving? I guess that’s where the fear comes in?

Beautiful story! Sometimes I ground myself by remembering the phrase my father would quote to be mindful in the present by saying to myself “be where your arse is”- his version of what Krishna Murti was on about.

Your story is beautiful.😢 Thank you so much. My father went through a Nde and it was traumatic for him but peaceful. He often said nobody understands. God bless you and I pray for your peace. It gave me comfort in the memory of my dad and his struggle, he passed in February.

I have to say something. Your backround and everything you've done in your life thus far was needed. The fact that u were a scientist and now got to experience the "spiritual" side of life was all planned out before you were even born. We as humans are now in a point of time where we have to merge science with spiritualualty. It's the only way our species will ever advance in life. This is needed. As an astrologer who is very logical, I have been doing a ton of research integrating the two sides. There was a time when astrology was forbidden and seen as "woo hoo." The world will advance once we see the whole truth!

Nice to know your higher self had your back. All those years of knowing the time would come that you'd need those skills you practiced so diligently. Makes you realize everything has a purpose, and it's all known from the beginning (of this particular lifetime). That version of you (aka: oversoul) that has the overall picture, prepared you for the inevitable. I'm glad you took heed. More people should pay attention to those little voices telling you things your whole life. There is something bigger than your brain (and much wiser) at play here. I'm happy for you. You received a gift that most can only dream about. Seeing the overall picture of what we truly are. Spiritual beings experiencing a place in time and space. Nothing more. Wishing you love and light. ❤

at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a> "this light situation." Genesis begins with light. And one of the characteristics of light is that there is no time ih the light. Just before the astronaut Wubbo Ockels died, he wrote an epitaph:"my time has stopped." Time seems to stop and then there is the light. It seems that is where we are going when we die. Within light, the starting point coincides with the arrival point, the distance between any given point is zero seconds. That means that light is everywhere at once, it is everything at once. The alpha and the omega. God's light.

This is great. We are all so wonderful. Don't worry. It may have derailed your life in negative ways, but you have gained so much profound wisdom, and you still have the ability to channel your live in to action in the moment, taking intentional(and intentionally), loving actions, and you get to live through actions and encounters instead of being a victim of time management. You'll figure everything out.

Thank you for your sharing. I love your clarity and honesty and the simple gesture of only share it. Not selling anything, not trying to convince any one of anything… You probably had an awakening. Without being search for it or even know about it. Some people ( like me) are meditating and retreating for years in a search for “ The Ultimate Truth”

What an absolutely profound NDE. I commend you and thank you wholeheartedly for having the courage to share your experience. It will send out waves of hope, and healing. I look forward to hearing more from you as you process the experience. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1021">17:01</a>

At the beginning of your video, you come across as a regular medical professional whereas after you speak of your drowning, you appear more like a child in awe of life. It's refreshing actually. I struggle with the role I play as a hospice caregiver and the fact that we assist patients with dying. I still don't know if we're supposed to hold on to life as if our lives depend on it or if we should sooner choose death when we're "not living a full life." Anyway, thank you for sharing your beautiful awakening.

What a beautiful way in which you described your experience. It is true, the here and now is what matters more than the past or future. I’ve had an amazing, extraordinary experience in 2014 which completely changed my outlook on life - gratitude is of utmost importance🥰🙏💐

atage of 16 had a NDE 1964 - Now just turned 77 on July 4th 2024 - it is a profound experience hard to put into words and there was way to comprehend it other than "the knowing impact" I didn't even have a name for what I experienced at the time. In the early 70's I ran into a book "On Death and Dying" by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD ... finally a name for my experience...but still I had Never told anyone...but it was there it opened a portal in my life...I am an empath and sensitive childhood, that experience enhanced that, but also even though I did not share the experience I was treated and thought differently from others. In fact my dad often told me "Your too sensitive" ... I never told my parents or my deased husband ... there is much more talk, information or awareness now, but still a stigma, doubts and questions ... I ran across your podcast while on RU-vid and what might be labeled just an accident, right now with the profound stress in my life, it most definitly not an accident,b but not sure how to intergrate it into the turmoil I'm struggling with ... my life has not been easy, at those time, like the one now I often ask the powers to be who spoke to me with a answer to my profound knowing of the beauty unexplainable love and peace awareness as my body was crashing butnow made aware I was more than my body "oh, this is easy, I've done this before" and they quickly responded with "yes, we know, but it's not time yet"...immediately shoved back into my body, rushed into surgery...major surgery, 3 pints of blood later...to this day when times get rough...I ask..."you kept me here for this...some expaning to do when I completely transition" ... Blessings to all who read this ... life is a roller coaster ride ... we need to bring more of the love and peace I experienced into the earth world to make a body/life experience for all to have a kinder, accepting, consciousness as we traverse beyond our current limiting experience ... it is our job and our purpose for evolving...

Thank Jesus Christ for saving your life, I have had near death experience as a youngster and I remember seeing very bright light!! Trust Jesus Christ for your salvation!!

I also had a near death experience. It wasn't scary and I was really sick but very aware of making a decision to live or not. I chose life and I was healed instantly. I also experience going into deep sleep and waking up everyday with amazing mathematical and spiritual information. Time and space goes away and I realize nothing here is what I thought it was. Peace and love is really the only truthful living. I also moved from a highly populated area to a peaceful serene place. Love and Light

I'm so thankful to you, for your honesty. Many who are not awakened to life beyond the physical Earthy material experience are going listen to you, as a professional medical man, and you then help them open up to new perspectives. It's a beautiful brave attitude you have and I'm sure your new life will be enriched.

I am a hardcore Atheist. When I was a kid, I was Catholic, went to Catholic school and church every Sunday. When I was around 13 I was hit by a speeding car while crossing the street on foot. I was hit and propelled into the air and flew a while, before falling and landing on the grass in someone's yard. I remember flying thru the air. I remember falling and landing. When I hit the ground, I remember my father who was in his car nearby, had come and was over me, telling me everything was going to be ok. I told him I wanted to get up. I didn't feel any pain at that moment and I felt like I could get up. My father told not to get up. He told me to stay quietly on the ground and try not to move too much. He said the ambulance was on the way. Some bystanders were there, in the background. I remember that too. In my mind, I wanted to get up, no matter what my father said, I felt like it was no big deal and I was gonna stand up. So I tried to get up, I tried to move my legs and I couldn't really. And in my mind I couldn't figure out why, so I just kept trying to get up. I tried so hard to get up. I was pushing myself, my whole body, with everything I had, to get up off of the ground. But I couldn't get up. No matter how hard I was trying. I never lost consciousness, even though when I landed I hit my head on the ground. I still kept thinking I was going to get up. I still couldn't, so eventually I gave up, and laid there waiting for the ambulance. It may seem like this all took some time, but I didn't see it or feel it that way. It only felt like about 10 mins and before I knew it I was already being brought into the ER by the paramedics via ambulance. When I got to the hospital, it was then when I was being moved from the backboard to the hospital bed, that I started to feel pain. I felt immense pain in my groin. And my knee was cut open and it was so deep the insides of my knee were exposed. There was blood and I looked down and saw the blood. I remember feeling faint from seeing the blood and the open wound on my knee (it was pretty gross) and that's all I remember until I woke up, in the hospital with my grandfather's touch. He touched my hand and I remember I opened my eyes and saw him there beside me. I felt him touching my hand. I don't know how much time went by, because I guess I passed out from the faint feeling, and I do remember actually opening my eyes and seeing my grandfather there. While my eyes were closed, and I was passed out, I do not remember seeing anything but darkness. I did not see a light or a tunnel or anything like that. I guess I did not lose consciousness. Because I don't recall having a feeling of being outside of my body or anything like that. I did not have visions or flashbacks about my past or anything like that either. All I remember seeing was darkness. I never felt anything while I was passed out. I only felt the pain when I woke up. So, I don't know. Nothing like anything that these people say they've had near death experiences say they have seen or had happen to them. I am positive that I only saw darkness, I was passed out, and I don't know how much time went by before I opened my eyes, but I only felt like I was sleeping and I wasn't aware of what really happened (to the extent that it did) and I only felt pain when my eyes were open and I knew what was going on. So. That's my experience. It definitely began to change my mind about God, afterlife, religion etc etc. And as the years passed, I eventually gave up religion in it's entirety, after I did extensive research on the subject. I read the bible from cover to cover. And reading that book is what made my decision firm and very clear. I don't believe any of the stories in the bible. Not one word of it. I don't think there's anything after death. I do not believe there's some greater or higher being. I don't believe there's a god. I don't believe there are any gods. When you die, you die and that's it. You are cremated into the ashes in which we all come from, or put in the ground to decay and rot while maggots and bugs eat away at your remains. Sad, but true. Life is definitely hard. But it's your only chance to live. So I believe that we should live life for as long as we can, and enjoy it, without the worries of eternal damnation or without the worries of where we will go after we're done living. I think you should live while you can, do what you can, enjoy yourself when you can. Take up hobbies to keep your mind busy when you're bored. I've had severe depression and anxiety disorder and I've had it for decades. I took medication for it. I have tried, and been on the brink of suicide many times. I've been hospitalized for my attempts to kill myself. I am better now, and I no longer take medication. But now I'm 47, and I have a bad back as a result of that accident I had when I was hit by the car. I am in debilitating and chronic pain. I have bad discs, muscle spasms, and arthritis in my lower back. I'm in pain 24/7 and I can't even breathe without pain. I've been to every doctor, tried injections, pills physical therapy...you name it, I've tried it. Even the holistic stuff, the CBD stuff, actually smoking weed, etc etc. None of that has helped. Recently, my doctor mis-prescrbed me some pills that I took two of, and almost died from. I ended up in the ER from that too. Been to the urgent care clinics and specialists, chiropractors, my regular doctor, orthopedic doctors etc etc. Nothing I have done has helped. I am out of options, and they won't do surgery on me. I don't know why, they just keep on saying I have to "exhaust" all other options first. I feel like I have exhausted all those other options. I've explored all the avenues. I've done everything. I still have no relief, and I'm in pain 24/7. It affects my sleep, how I eat, it affects pretty much every aspect of my life. I can't be physically active. I can't do simple household chores. I can not even breathe without feeling that pain in my back. It hurts to cough or sneeze, and I have trouble pooping sometimes because I have to push, (IBS) and the pushing hurts my back. So, with all that being said, I am back to researching suicide, but I'm into the dignity with dying debate, and I am totally in support of legal euthanasia and assisted suicide for anyone who is suffering from anything at all that they can no longer bare. Everybody talks about "My body, my choice" OK. I am totally behind that. I believe everyone has the right to do whatever they want to their bodies and people have the right to live as they choose. Everybody talks about the right to live, but nobody ever talks about the right to die. We live in a world where it is considered a sacrifice when we have to let our pets go, because they are suffering. Sick animals are HUMANELY relieved of their pain. Why don't we do this for humans? If it's my body and my choice, my life etc etc, and I have the right to live, then why don't I have the right to die? I'm not terminally ill but I am chronically ill and I have had enough of being in pain all the time. I am ready to GO, I am not afraid and I want it to happen sooner than later. I feel like that's my right. And it is my right. If I have the right to life, I have the right to death, period. None of the doctors I have found in my state will sign off assisted suicide or legal euthanasia, because it's not legal in Florida. It's legal in 11 states in America, but mine isn't one of them. Also, it's a very complicated process, you have to jump thru all kinds of legal and medical hoops to do it. At this point, it's not worth the effort for me, because I don't really have much more of my dignity left anyway. So my hands are tied here. I have reluctantly accepted that I can not die with whatever dignity I have left, whether I wait it out and grow old and die, or I just end it all now and free myself of the pain and suffering. Either way, I don't care anymore. I just want to be free from my pains. I want to be free from my physical, emotional and mental anguish. I just can't wait for it to be my turn to go- ..... So I will wait, for now, but I am losing the very last bit of patience that I have within me dealing with this. So I really am conflicted as to what I am going to do from here..... That's it. That's my story. Thank you for reading.

Thank you for sharing your story. May you be blessed with the thorough comprehension of your experience and complete peace & fulfillment.

Its so refreshing hearing this , Coming from someone with his intelligence ...atheist etc .. and hes being 100% honest with sharing his experiences.. and i appreciate that .

Kennebec County here!❤ Video popped up. I had a NDE in 1995. This was meant for me to understand. Ty.

Thank You so much for your amazing testimony, it seems to me that your experience has changed your vision of life and death. Maybe your next path as a doctor could be to help people and their family members to transit from one to the other. We are not alone in this world , we are guided … 💖🙏

This is the most amazing and thoroughly believable account I've seen to date - and I've seen a LOT! Thank you so much for posting!

It's quite amazing that we're finally living in a time where there are so so many stories like this one that are shared, and so easily available to those who are just willing to listen! When I think about it, when I was a kid, this kind of availability of information was a kind of science-fiction! I've listened so so many NDE stories during last year and a half, and also had some personal experiences, that all combined together, I have no even slightest doubt of their truth. Thanks!

It's great that now you know. So what started out as a not good experience taught you about all the good things. I've noticed God does have a way of doing that to us and for us all. It's called GRACE. Best to you and yours. ❤❤❤

When I was in hospital last year 2 people died on my ward of 6. The woman opposite to my left had lung cancer and the awful sound as she breathed still haunts me. It was extreme chestiness/rattling and her voice sounded so distant……like a small voice behind all the chest noise. A doctor used something to try and suck of the mucus out. She was only in the ward for a few hours and died. I was relieved, The other woman was elderly and didn’t seem To Be able to Speak, just making cooing noises. I noticed before she died she was pointing up to the corner of the ceiling. She was gone quickly And peacefully. To me the worst thing about death is the long drawn out illnesses some people get before hand.

Love this! Everything happens for a reason. Embrace life and know thyself!

yes, yes you are, dear sir, an expert, and thank God and you for your humility as well as your well mannered communication about experiential awareness.. and may your continue to be a great teacher of humanity..

Shortly after my friend Clive died I went camping. I was very tired and laid down for a short rest planning to finish emptying the car and get the rest of my gears sorted before nigh. I fell asleep and when I woke up there was a tiny frog on my hand looking at me. I immediately thought it was Clive who had come to say goodbye. The frog did not seem frightened when I moved it just looked at me. I had tears in my eyes

This is the most interesting account I’ve ever heard. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I think I just heard exactly what I needed to hear. Don't me get me wrong I've definitely heard it before but for whatever reason I guess I wasn't ready to receive it. I spend so much time obsessing over a traumatic past and worrying like crazy about the unknown future. He blew my mind when he said all of the value in life is in the present. I want to add to that the present is also the only place that you can actively diminish value in your life. "No amount of grief will change your past and no amount of worry and anxiety will shape your future." Mind blown.

I completely understand what you mean by the alienation. My husband (now crossed over) had an NDE in the 90s (massive mystery heart attacks, age 40). Six months later, we went to a new city 5-6 hours away as a vacation treat. There I was approached by a female security guard in the resort, who said she met me during her NDE a few years before (coma). She recognized me instantly. Whenever my husband and I talked about these experiences to others, we were shunned and frequently scolded. There was a Mormon man at a diner, who overheard my husband talking about the NDE, who began screaming at us in fury. We were being blasphemous! Many looked at us as if we were making it all up for attention. Oh! And my husband received an "order" before he was allowed to return to this dimension. As you bravely discussed, it "ruined" us and nearly killed us as we sought to fulfill the instructions. There's nothing you can do but press on just as you did here. THANK YOU for your candor.

My sister saw her childhood pet “ Petey” sitting in a chair next to me, weeks before she died of leukemia. My brother and sisters were 8, 9 and 10 years older than me and I remember hearing about Pete the Irish Setter once or twice. I think she saw other things but didn’t say anything. I think our pets go too. She was fifty

Thank you for being willing to be changed!

With my nde i experienced the " love " feeling all around me and ws so content and happy , but after i came back of my own will i struggled for weeks feeling depressed as i wanted to go back . Then i became spiritual and my life changed , i split with my partner , gave up my job and moved 200 miles after meeting another spiritual friend who is now my wife

That’s a powerful video from an intelligent man who explains his NDE with such clarity. I’m convinced that God deliberately let him see what is ahead for all of us. He obviously believes now. Really enjoyed this Thank you 🙏

Lovely speaker. I enjoyed hearing him express "new truths" as a trained academic and medical physician. He should look into neurosurgeon Eben Alexander's NDE story also. There are SO many skeptics whose eyes are opened to the beauty of inner/other realities during experiences like these. Many beautiful stories to read or listen to. Blessings.

You comment at the beginning that the origin of consciousness is unknown. As a 30-year Reiki therapist, it is my experience that the pineal glands acts like a radio receiver. Our consciousness is piped in, believe it or not

Thank you for sharing such a profound experience. You’re doing great! You’re not alone. Every book I read about NDE’s the people had a kind of depression afterwards because they felt the beauty and complete love. These people love their family more than anything and yet they wanted to go back. It took a long time to get past it.

God bless, keep you joyful, and guide you throughout your life❤❤❤

Very good and balanced video. I have seen many videos about NDEs and have been reading about it since the late 80s. Nowadays with the "popularization" of the NDEs experiences there might be some rather "fake" experiences. Most of those are always trying to push an agenda or being rather "materialistic" on its details (like enphasis on "gold" or "power",etc.). But there are many that are very genuine, authentic and also are consistent with the final message or lesson (love, non judgmental, peace, gratitude, understanding, universality, oneness, trust, joy, love and more love). That is why I say this is a good and balanced video. Thanks for sharing your experience and expanding our consciousness.

His story is credible to me because of his background but also because he says how profoundly it affected his life, both good and not so good. That would seem more realistic than everything is wonderful and makes sense after an NDE. He's still alive and life is never easy.

After my father passed away, I used to extend my hand and asked my father to touch it to give me a sing he is well and around in different form. For two weeks nothing happened so I no longer practiced it. Then, for my first day of work, I flew to Rome. I woke up in the middle of the night, someone or something was placing hand in my hand, I was already awake and still feeling the hand trying to hold mine. I was not afraid at all. I now so wish my beloved Odyssey, the cat and my biggest love, will send me a sign that he is around and waiting for me so I can exhale and recover from this deep pain of loosing him

Surviving stage 4 cancer has similar effects on life too I find ! Very similar, especially the time problem! And changing things for the better in your life -)

Welcome friend! God showed you that the physical life is NOT the end...This is a beautiful story and so confirming and affirming that we literally live in a blip of time... We are all just passing through.... Love your life how you will.. I will serve God, rejoice and be glad that I have an Almighty God that shows ppl like this man he is the beginning and the end🙏

Absolutely beautiful experience to be had. Bless his heart and soul 💗🫶

Wow...just wow. What an uplifting conclusion to a terrifying experience. He is absolutely correct. There is only NOW❤ I forget this also sometimes, it's easy to get sucked into the past and the future. Thank you for your story.❤

What a beautiful man

Amazing. I came from high powered academic environment and now love is what's important to me. Your story is inspiring. My dad was a pathologist.

That was fascinating! Brilliantly articulated and genuinely described. Very moving yet extremely informative! I was captivated from the start by your honesty , both rational and emotional at the same time. Excellent. Thank you for sharing your profound and amazing experience! The 'now' is the most important and real time slot in our day to day lives! Thank you!

Thank you for giving attention to hypoxic brain injury! There is much more to this in view of perception and altered feelings that can last a long time or the rest of your life. Glad you made it back and could act on your newly found priorities of value in your life. Be well, be happy, take care❤

Thank you for telling your story so candidly and genuinely. ❤

Wow! I had almost exactly same experience as you, with almost drowning , NDE ! I was felt same calmness, and once I saw that bright light, I followed it and crawled my way to the beach ! I remember 3 previous lives. One of them was drowning. However, once we have such death, we will not have to die in same way. And I believe that was the near drowning experience at 15, I survived !😇

Wow! What a beautiful message!!! Thanks for sharing ❤

When I was young in my late 20s. I use to party hard. One night, I partied with various drugs, I was getting physically uncomfortable. My heart was racing too fast. It was very uncomfortable. Seconds later, I saw these beautuful lights and warm hues all around me. It felt so loving and peaceful. I can hear my heart beat really really slow almost stopping. However, I wasn't nervous. It was so beautiful and I knew my life was ending. But that's when I thought of my sister. How I can't leave her alone in this world, she would be devastated. So I told myself to fight, I can't leave. I remember it wasn't easy. I had to focus to get out of that peaceful place. And then I just open my eyes and told the person next to me that I think I almost died. I no longer see the beautiful light and no longer felt peaceful. I suddenly felt my heart beating hard and uncomfortable once again. that person then helped me to bathroom to get a cold shower to snap out of it. I know for sure if I didn't think about my sister, I don't think I would still be here. I haven't touch drugs ever since.

Thank you. It's all about that unconditional love ❤

What a sweet guy. When he got emotional, I did too, and had an urge to put my arm around him and offer comfort. I don't think strangers are supposed to do that. Lol I've experienced a lot of grief in the past few years. A lot. It's the worst pain I've ever felt. The number of NDE testimonials that I've watched is probably... possibly in the hundreds. If not, then getting close to 100. Learning about the other side through hearing about NDEs has resulted in a considerable amount of comfort and hope. I'm about as close as you can get to believing that the afterlife is as they described. But that comfort and hope only go so far. I've still got A LOT of anger. About the life and death system. About aging, about the heartbreak those left behind suffer. I'm angry, for example, why do we have to go through this BS known as aging, and all of the discomforts, decline in...everything, the diseases, and finally death? Why? I hate watching people grow old. It doesn't seem right to me. For example, a great singer and songwriter that I admire, Paul Simon (was half of Simon & Garfunkel), is 81 fxxking years old! And had his "farewell tour." Farewell?! That's so not right to me, and it makes me mad. He won't be with us much longer, and then we won't be able to experience him performing his beautiful art, ever again. I think that's bullxxxt! And _I'm_ going to be sixty before long! Sixty!? No way! I should be 25! It's not right. I recently watched both parents suffer through dementia and eventually pass away. It was...just awful. Aging seems like a disease to me. It strikes me as cruel and plain wrong, and I'm angry about it. When I pass and arrive on the other side, I'll be asking where the complaint department is. I'm going to be busy filling out paper work! Maybe it can be filled out and submitted online. Do they have Internet over there? Lol

Oh Wow! Thank y ou for explaining how difficult it is to relate to people aft a NDE. I see the world in an entirely different way. I've left my religion because during my NDE I felt God's love---a love I can never explain but knowing beyond the veil He loves everyone and everything! No-one is excluded---that idea is non-existent . . Gender is not an issue. ( it used to be prior to my NDE) Everyone is a soul. We are here to love each other, to learn, experience and grow.I see people as an extension of God. Ive changed my way of living----Ive become a minimalist . "Things" are not important to me . Ive tossed my jewelry l, fancy house, etc out the window. People, animals, the environment, etc are important to me. I feel that you are only good as what you do for other people. Yes, right now I don't know where I belong. But I do have such a sense of peace in my beliefs . Thank YOU!

Thank you for putting life in true perspective; the importance is now, we’re never guaranteed tomorrow. Love them all now, as they are now, say what you need to say now, so love is shared presently ❤

At the timeline, around 14.45, Peter dilates on the importance of the present moment, like a leaf taken out of the spiritual teacher, Eckhart tolle's book, 'The Power of Now.' This is congruent with what so many people hold, that have had a near death experience, their experience gives them a taste of what it's like to be outside the temporal parameters of time and is so uniquely, transformative: It's easy to see this already happening to Peter. Good rendition.

Yes sir u are correct The present moment is all u have😊😊😊

A Wise man once told me, Life is not a Job to be done, it is a Mystery to be lived. 💯

Such a profound and wonderful sharing. Thank you❤
