NDE Podcast

“The trooper about turned white and said, ‘That was no dream you had, what you described is exactly what happened.”’

In today’s episode, we share some comments and experiences shared by listeners. Included is the question of how much commentary you would like with the podcast. Is it fine like it is, or is it too much?

“I describe myself as flying fast through a sequence of sceneries that seemed unlimited, peripheral vision, I’m observing the journey… “I am the journey.”

“I popped out through the top of my head, through the wall of the house (the bed was set against the wall), stood up and spoke to a white cloud-like, human-shaped figure outlined in blue (I’ve now come to understand that that was one of my guardian angels).”

“What I distinctly remember to this very day, is firstly a flashing of beautiful scenes, fields, oceans, dolphins, horses, and everything racing.

“‘How is that girl in the next room? Is she okay?’ “When I said that, a nurse who was nearby who was carrying a tray of syringes and other objects dropped it on the floor. She then went and got the specialist who had been looking after me and they started to whisper. I could …

I want to offer special thanks to Troy, a listener to the podcast for bringing this story to my attention.

“My feeling now is that my NDE happened before my husband came and if he had not come, I might not be here today.”

If so, has there been an incident in your life where it’s possible that you had an NDE but it was masked from your memory?
