NDE Radio With Lee Witting

One of the fascinating things we learned last week in out interview with Chuck was the prophecy of an NDE experiencer who saw the influence IANDS would have in the spiritual growth and understanding of the world. This week, he will go into more detail about that, and how internet communication is helping IANDS reach more of the world.

At the age of 17 while comatose, Betty Cone met Jesus. He told her "He had a work for me on the earth, and that it was not my time, that I hadn't completed the blueprint He had for my life, which Satan had disrupted and tried to stop."

Gary Wimmer had a remarkable near-death experience back in 1977 when, as a pedestrian, he was struck by a speeding car. We explore how Gary’s vision differed from the more typical tunnel/light experience, and what it might have meant in strengthening his already developing psychic powers.

n 1957, Robert Caplan was serving as a plane captain on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Forrestal. During preflight, he was pulled head first into the engine intake of an FJ-3 Fury jet fight plane revving at full power. Just months before, he had playfully posed for a photograph in the same intake. He received last rites and experienced an extraordinary, acutely aware state of being, separated from his physical body.

Today's interview with Ken looks at prophecies he received as a child that seem particularly relevant today.

One of the religious parallels to the near death experience is the path to the afterlife described in the Tibetan book of the dead. Like the NDE, the book describes the journey the soul takes and what it may encounter along the way. Susan Griffith-Jones has been studying the scientific explanations for life in the Tibetian Book of the Dead.

Susan discusses the circle of immortality and how it connects with the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

In Journey's End, many and varied collaborators write about death, dying, and the end of life. We attempt to describe real life issues and circumstances, and we discuss ways to proactively deal with them. Useful training, resource, and reference material is also included.

Traditional Western religion explains that each human has a spiritual aspect called a soul. However, several passages in the Bible allude to humans having a soul and a spirit. Dan has explored this idea and found numerous modern psychological findings that support this notion.

Jeff Kripal explains why we need to listen to people who have had such extraordinary encounters with the ineffable and the otherworldly. He also says that we need a framework other than rigid scientific skepticism and literal belief if we are to not only understand these bizarre, yet common, occurrences, but truly grapple with what they might suggest about human nature, the cosmos, and what we perceive as “ordinary” reality.

The oxherding pictures are based on a famous Buddhist meditation known as the ox-herding lessons, where an untrained ox is a metaphor for the untrained mind, and the training is analogous for the pursuit of enlightenment.

The beginning of the awakening of Ingrid's conscious awareness came to her when she drowned in a tank of frigid water, when she was only three. Through the years as she remembered her lifeless body suspended in the water she wondered: How could I have seen my body lifeless if I was still alive? More alive than ever?

Our guest Andy Parks has never experienced an NDE, but was so impacted by hearing about other people's experiences, it changed his lif. Lee met him recently at the IANDS annual conference.
