NDE Radio With Lee Witting

When St. Michael and Mother Mary appeared, hundreds of times, to four children in Garabandal, Spain, it came as a warning to the world, and Catholic clergy in particular, that the cup was full to overflowing. The prophesies predict a simultaneous life review will happen to all living people on earth, and a miracle thereafter.

This show continues last week's fascinating discussion of the underlying spiritual implications of NDEs with researcher Lynn K. Russell, author of "Beyond NDEs: The Next Step in Near-Death Experience Research."

It was while researching OBEs for Dr. Jeffrey Long at NDERF that the show's guest became fascinated with the underlying spiritual knowledge within NDE reports. Lynn ended up studying some 2500 death experiences before writing her new book, "Beyond NDEs: The Next Step in Near-Death Experience Research." The spiritual implications of NDEs are the subject of our show.

The first: a near-death-like experience from an angry, suicidal Australian man who was lifted out of his depression and drained of his vengeance by a gift of light from Jesus. The second: an NDE, three shared-body and a shared-death experience between two sisters-- certainly the most detailed, most gentle SDE I've encountered.

Our show's guest was starving, freezing, and terrified before and after her distressing and illuminating near-death experiences in the Arapahoe National Forest, where she was demon-led and lost for eleven days. She felt her life was over...until the gentle nuzzle and lick of a Golden Retriever woke her. Endurance is her true story.

This week we continue with Pat Wheeler's accounts of the kinds of guiding messages many of us receive, but often ignore at our peril. For many years Patricia Wheeler shared her STEs with her third grade parochial school students, who found them far more fascinating than their traditional religious schooling. Her book, Beyond the Natural, should encourage readers to reflect on times when interlinking circumstances seem more like messages than coincidences.

For many years our guest, Patricia Wheeler, teacher and artist, shared her STEs with her third grade parochial school students, who found them far more fascinating than their traditional religious schooling. Her book, "Beyond the Natural", should encourage readers to reflect on their own family stories, for times when interlinking circumstances seem like more than coincidence.

Returning from an NDE, we yearn to continue our conversation with the Other Side. Usually we turn to prayer, either traditional prayers or as simple conversations with God. And spoken prayer does reach the Other Side. Some NDErs have actually seen prayers from family and friends rising around them, like vibrating lights of love.

Host Lee Witting's doubts about free will on Earth are countered by guest Irene Kendig, whose messages concerning the free-will creativity available to us on the Other Side makes it potentially available to us here, as well. Irene Kendig is author of Conversations with Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead, the recipient of seven national and international awards

First, a car crash sends an NDEr into the light, to a life review and sixty years of learning. Second, a woman dying from disease dissipates like mist into a reality of consciousness and love not bound by time. Third, a man pinned in a tractor rollover sees deceased family and a tube portal to a heaven of love.

When Jason Dennen skydived into a catastrophic accident, his eight-day coma invoked hundreds of nightmares of guilt, shame, and the temptation to give up, from which he couldn't awake. These dreams also modeled stories of travel through the Bardo, but they ultimately served to strengthen his resolve to heal his body and his life.

Presidents Day reflections on George Washington's bulletproof battle of 1755, the vital part United plays in the as-above, so-below name of the United States, and the malignant narcissism of dictatorship.

Following Robin Landsong's kidnapping and abuse at age eight, her years of recovery from PTSD were guided by her NDEs in Zimbabwe (listen to our show of Jan. 22, 2024, "A Kidnapped Child's NDE") and, as today's show reports, further NDEs as a teen. Today, Robin helps others transform destructive energy to creative energy.

The trauma resulting from child abuse can crush a child's faith, as well. Guest Gloria Oelman tells how she, with persistent clues from the Other Side, overcame her fear-induced atheism and regained her belief.

In 1983, anthropologist Dorothy Ayers Counts compared a few NDEs, dreams, and visions of Kaliai interviewees with notions of NDEs and OBEs in the West, and discussed the surprising cultural differences in IANDS' Journal of Near-Death Studies. Host Lee Witting reads selections from that remarkable article.

When Robin Aisha Landsong was eight she was abducted to Zimbabwe and there abandoned. Shot by a gunman, she experienced a remarkable NDE before being saved and cared for by the people of a small tribal village. Robin went back to Zimbabwe 40 years later to rediscover the people and the land.

Host Lee Witting tells the story of how Dr. King's commitment to love may have resulted from an NDE, and how King's assassination in 1968 impacted hopes for change. Still, our understanding of love as the only true answer has been deepened by NDEs since the--and now must be employed--as we face the racism of 2024.
