Why the Scary NDEs?-Why the Scary NDEs?

Guest “Ana Christina” describes how she was poisoned into paralysis while Holy Spirit comforted her – then abused and asphyxiated by her husband into a profound NDE.

Guest Cristael Ann Bengston went from her body into endless blackness — but then continued, ignoring pleas from her mother, as she journeyed toward the heart of God. She reports, “I am only a small part of me.”

An asthma pump, too late to prevent an NDE, enabled her to return with this knowing: we are not meant to live in fear and shame, and we are never separate from love. Even in our worst moments, God is always present with open arms.

At six years old, Nancy Clark’s best friends were spirit beings, invisible to others, but very visible to her. When lightning struck, those spirit friends stayed with her, guiding her into a life of healing others.

Biblical annotations can help make translated scripture understandable, and an IANDS Journal article by Marco Condorelli, PhD, points to the English Geneva Bible’s annotations from 1602 as speaking NDE. Could the annotator himself have had an NDE?

On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Gloria Crystal "Teddy" Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her beautiful voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances Key, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state. This remarkable collection of insights called Team: A Mother's Wisdom from the Other Side, were written in less than a year and then divided into three books. They have astounded friends, family and a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, wit, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the human experience.

New Testament gospel scripture tells us less about the Other Side than many NDEs. Did Jesus not tell his disciples about Heaven, or were his stories of life reviews, mystic gardens, universal knowledge and the profound light of love get edited out when the Bible was assembled? In this encore discussion with James Bean, we explore other texts.

For most NDErs, a life review suffices to get things back on track in their lives. For others, a distressing NDE is a major gift – and a reminder of the Beatles song, The End: And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

Neil Helm, PhD, a childhood drowning NDEr, was the first to research and publish that Edgar Cayce’s amazing gifts of knowing and healing resulted from Cayce’s own childhood drowning NDE. Helm’s article, plus two more stories from IANDS magazine, Vital Signs, are read by host Lee Witting.

Geo. Washington’s vision at Valley Forge – when an angel reportedly showed him the wars to come on American soil – includes a second Civil War to save our democratic Union. Historians debate it, but a clue that the prophecy did take place is heard in Washington’s Farewell Address, where he focused on a coming struggle to preserve democracy. This show first aired on July 4, 2021. How are we doing?
