Round Trip Death

Elisa Palmer was in a horrific, head-on traffic accident that led to a beautiful near death experience.

In Elisa's first interview about her NDE, she opens up about her life review in which she saw how all of her actions affected others. It's like a ripple effect, positive or negative, that spreads from one person to many many others.

She was given a choice to stay in the spirit world or go back to her physical body. Before making the choice she was shown her future husband and children. She knew she was "home," but she needed to go back to her meaningful future life.

In this episode we even hear about her conversation with God, and much more!

You're going to love today's guest, so let's get right to it.

9
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:55,700
From the time that they pronounced me death was a good 45 minutes.

10
00:00:55,700 --> 00:01:00,700
They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart, my heart had stopped.

11
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:08,300
And I could see people screaming and crying, but I didn't realize that was actually my physical body because I was somewhere else.

12
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:16,500
The only thing that I could feel, if you could imagine, absolute love and peace, there wasn't anything else to be felt.

13
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,500
I was greeted by people I'd known in the past.

14
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,200
I'm back home again.

15
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,100
Incredibly safe and felt at home.

16
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:33,100
Welcome, welcome to Roundtrip Death, everybody, and a special welcome to our guest today, Alisa Palmer.

17
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:34,200
How are you, Alisa?

18
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Good, how are you?

19
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Great.

20
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,100
Good.

21
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:44,200
Well, we got over our technical difficulties. We're going to be smooth sailing from here on out, I'm sure of it.

22
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,100
Yes, definitely.

23
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,600
Okay, now, this is going to surprise everybody.

24
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,800
I'm going to sort of mix up the way that we're doing this today.

25
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:05,800
We're going to get to some of your background in a minute, but I want to talk very first about kind of the middle of your experience, your near-death experience, which was your life review.

26
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,800
Can you tell me a little bit about that first?

27
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,500
And then we'll fill in the blanks after that.

28
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,000
Yeah, yeah.

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,800
The life review is interesting because time doesn't exist there.

30
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,400
It kind of happens what feels like is really fast.

31
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,700
And so it kind of just, like, I guess like a movie screen or something like that kind of looked like that.

32
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:30,200
And it just sort of switched by real fast.

33
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:37,200
But as I was filling it, I could see clearly that what I do affects everything around me.

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Almost like the only way I could describe it is like if you have a rock and you throw it into the puddle and you watch all the ripples, you know, rippling, rippling.

35
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:55,300
So I saw that like we are so much like that where we, what we do affects our surroundings, you know, and we feel what other people are feeling.

36
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,500
And so that was really profound to me.

37
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:04,600
So did you feel things both positively and negatively from how your actions affected people?

38
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Yes, in that realm, in that space with with the life review.

39
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,300
Yeah, I did.

40
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:11,900
Give me an example.

41
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,300
Because it was so long ago.

42
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,600
It was like 20 years ago.

43
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,800
I had this story written down and wrote it down right away and documented it.

44
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:27,000
I guess what I saw because I was given a choice to either go or stay.

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,100
I saw my whole life like wash before my eyes.

46
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:35,900
And I saw that like, for example, I didn't have kids then.

47
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:40,000
So I saw like, I needed to go back because I was going to have kids.

48
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,100
I was going to get married.

49
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:46,500
I was going to be unfulfilled if I didn't, you know, stay here.

50
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,900
I wouldn't have completed my mission or my task.

51
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:57,100
So I think as far as like specific memories, I have a little bit of trouble remembering not because it was so long ago.

52
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,200
But I do know like my whole entire life just washed before my eyes.

53
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,900
And I was like, oh my gosh, I have to go back because these things were like going to happen.

54
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:10,900
So I was responsible and needed to go back and make sure that they happen.

55
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:15,700
So for specifics, I don't have a lot of fine detail.

56
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:16,300
That's okay.

57
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,800
But it sounds like you kind of got a glimpse of the future too while you were at it.

58
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,100
Yeah.

59
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:26,800
And one thing I do have a tendency to wonder is like, I think because I I've been studying

60
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,700
near death experiences for a long time.

61
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:44,400
And one thing that I do I'm suspicious of is like, does this information get released more and more as time goes on to this certain place and point of like, when the information is needed, it's going to be released.

62
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,600
There's this place in me that thinks that that's something that might occur.

63
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,400
It's almost like I went back to an amnesia state and at some point it'll get released again.

64
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,500
According to the proper time that it fits into.

65
00:04:58,500 --> 00:04:59,000
Yeah.

66
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,800
That's interesting.

67
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,100
All right.

68
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,000
Let's take a step back.

69
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,300
Tell us who is Alisa.

70
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:07,400
Where do you live?

71
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,600
Give us a one minute.

72
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Let's get to know you.

73
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,600
Okay.

74
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,500
Let's see.

75
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:14,100
I was born in Santa Barbara, California.

76
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,800
And I moved from Santa Barbara when I was six.

77
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,300
I moved to Etc.

78
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,400
California, which is the central coast.

79
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,800
It's between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

80
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,300
It's a beautiful place.

81
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,000
They just, I love it.

82
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,900
I've been there.

83
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,100
I've spent time in Morrill Bay.

84
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,400
Oh yeah, you have.

85
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Okay.

86
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,100
Yeah.

87
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,600
So it's a really unique area.

88
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,900
I love the climate zone.

89
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:42,300
You know, I come from a family of arborists.

90
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:49,100
And so I thought, oh gosh, I would just love to, you know, grow some plants and get a little piece of property and go crazy there.

91
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:51,900
But I do have family that still lives there.

92
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:53,600
So I get a visit all the time.

93
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Right now I'm residing in Flagstaff, Arizona.

94
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Me and my family just decided to be adventurous and go see another state and, you know, be outside of California.

95
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,300
Just try something different.

96
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:10,800
But I lost my father in November.

97
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,100
And so since then I'm like, I miss my family so bad.

98
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,500
So that's kind of what we're doing.

99
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:19,100
And we're going to go back and visit and be with family and stuff like that.

100
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:23,100
So we're kind of back and forth and just enjoying both places.

101
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:26,500
I just went through Flagstaff a couple of days ago.

102
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:28,400
Drove through it seriously.

103
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,400
It's really nice.

104
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,600
I mean, it's up, it's what, 7,000 something feet elevation.

105
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:42,500
And so it's cool and temperate and compared to being in Phoenix as I had been the days before, it was wonderful.

106
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:43,400
Yeah.

107
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,200
Oh, good.

108
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,900
Yeah, it's, it's, it's neat.

109
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:47,600
It's grown on me.

110
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,100
Oh, and I homeschool my kids.

111
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,100
I have two kids.

112
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,100
I've been homeschooling them for a while.

113
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,700
I have four brothers and sisters.

114
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,300
We're all really close.

115
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:59,600
And like I said, I lost my father that was really detrimental.

116
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:12,400
That's actually what got me started to go on Facebook and start liking all the NDE pages and kind of reaching out to people that are sort of having hard time with the idea of, you know, the other side.

117
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:19,200
And I just decided to go on there and give them some comforting words and anything to encourage them.

118
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,600
And then I'll send them to an interview.

119
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,800
That is great.

120
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,600
And I think you mentioned you have a face.

121
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,300
You've set up a new Facebook page for this kind of stuff too.

122
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:32,800
We'll stick that link in the show notes so people can reach out to you.

123
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,100
That would be great.

124
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,700
Let's go back 2001.

125
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:38,800
This is when the big accident happened.

126
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,500
What was going on then?

127
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,500
So I was with my friend, my friend Alex.

128
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:53,900
We had these other friends, a couple of ours that were like, come to Las Vegas with us and my friend Kim, she set it up and was just really excited.

129
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,700
So we went over there.

130
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:59,800
We met up with them or we tried to go over there on the way.

131
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,200
I was driving the car.

132
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Alex had fallen asleep and it was like 12 10 at night because when the car hit, it hit my watch and that's the time it stopped.

133
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,800
So anyhow, as I was driving, there was another car that was coming towards me.

134
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,100
It was a one way highway.

135
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:20,400
So it started coming towards me as it was coming towards me.

136
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,900
I tried to veer over to avoid the car, but it was too late.

137
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,800
So that car hit line at an impact of 130.

138
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400
Both cars bounce back as soon as we bounce back.

139
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,200
I was like kind of pinned in the vehicle and I'm like trying.

140
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:37,900
It was dark.

141
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:45,800
I couldn't see so I'm putting my arms out kind of like to feel stuff and I felt all this liquid on me and I'm like going what in the world.

142
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:59,700
So I put my arm up and I go to kind of just fill around and then all of a sudden I could see because you could see with, I don't know, the moon or there was some sort of light and it was my forearm sticking up.

143
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:04,500
So I went and I touched it and I was like, oh my gosh, I realized what was happening.

144
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:12,100
I started to scream and then as I was screaming, there was a guy who knocked on my window.

145
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:14,400
I hear knock knock knock and I was like, the heck.

146
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400
So I was just out of it obviously and he says, helps on the way.

147
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,400
And I'm like, okay, like just out of it.

148
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,800
Not really, you know, seeing what's going on.

149
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,100
So then Alex was next to me.

150
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:34,200
He was passed out because he got hit real hard in the head and then I had the whole engine come in and it had my legs pinned.

151
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,200
In the car.

152
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:45,800
And so when help came, they got Alex out, then they had to come around and get me out with Jaws of Life because I was so pinned in there.

153
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:54,900
So then they got the Jaws of Life, pulled the door off and then the lady, there was a female and she said, what's your name?

154
00:09:54,900 --> 00:10:03,000
And I was like, she yelled real loud because I think she could see I was kind of like in and out of like, you know, like losing a lot of blood.

155
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,700
So she thought she was going to lose me.

156
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:07,100
So she started yelling like, what's your name?

157
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:08,900
And I'm like, Alisa.

158
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:11,400
And she's like, you know, how old are you?

159
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,600
Started to ask me more questions to keep me going.

160
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,500
And then I would kind of like, as she was asking me, I would drift off.

161
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:27,000
And as I was drifting, it was like I was above my body and I just went, I guess like a tunnel.

162
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,600
I guess you could describe it like a tunnel, but I know I was above my body.

163
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,000
I was in this other room, in this other space.

164
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,800
And then when I was there, I felt so good and so great and so wonderful.

165
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,400
And I was like, this is, this is like the best feeling ever.

166
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,600
This is where my, my memory is just because it's been so long.

167
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,100
It's not so coordinated specific.

168
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:51,400
It's kind of all over the place.

169
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:58,200
But I know I had the near death experience during that time and I was like begging God like, please take me home.

170
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,700
Please take me home. And then that's when, no way.

171
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:06,000
I saw that after I was begging God, he showed me the near death experience.

172
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,600
And then that's when I saw, okay, I can't go home with God because it was literally like begging him.

173
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,300
Take me home.

174
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:12,800
Take me home.

175
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,600
This is my home.

176
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,000
I knew it was my home.

177
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
I recognizes it as my home.

178
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I had no doubt in my mind this is, this is where I belong.

179
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,400
So God gave me the life review.

180
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:31,800
He showed me that I was not finished clearly, but I saw it and because I have free will, I came back.

181
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:40,600
You know, I chose to come back and finish up the mission that we have because we all have these different missions that we're supposed to do.

182
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:48,700
Or, and God let me know, you know, through all this telepathically, like I have these gifts as we all do.

183
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:54,100
And then I need to go back and do whatever it is I'm supposed to do and finish my life.

184
00:11:54,100 --> 00:12:01,600
And as far as the specifics on the life review, I wish I had a little bit more detail in my mind,

185
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,400
but that's where I think at some point, maybe this information will just sort of get unlocked.

186
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,200
I'm hoping, feel like it's sort of, there's luck in there somehow.

187
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Yeah.

188
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,200
There are a lot of people that this comes back to little by little.

189
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,600
You know, some, some remember all of their NDE immediately.

190
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Yeah.

191
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:28,700
One person I talked to recently didn't remember any of it for three days and then all of it came to him.

192
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,100
Yeah. I took 10 days to even remember right after my accident.

193
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:38,300
Yeah. And then there are some people that it kind of comes a little by little and you're like, I remember that.

194
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:40,300
That's not, that this isn't just a dream.

195
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:44,100
I remember that specific real kind of saying.

196
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:49,000
So yeah, that's okay. Tell me, I want more detail.

197
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,100
How did you know you were having a conversation with God?

198
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,300
Did you see a being?

199
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:55,500
Did you feel it?

200
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,800
Tell, give me more detail.

201
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,900
I was in the presence of the light.

202
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:01,600
I know that there was light.

203
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,100
It was very just bright and beautiful.

204
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:08,800
It was almost like it was a light, I guess in a sense, like spirit.

205
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,700
I guess that's the only way to describe it, but it was definitely a very, very beautiful light.

206
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:17,800
And a familiar light and a light that I recognize.

207
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:28,100
It was like, I knew somehow I knew that when I was in that place, I had made plans with this light, God.

208
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:32,600
You know, for me, that's what I think of it is, is Jesus are God.

209
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:38,200
I know everybody's different and I have the utmost respect for everybody's beliefs as they feel.

210
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,200
Because that's just who we are.

211
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,400
We're going to be different and God made us that way.

212
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,000
So I love that.

213
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,100
But it was just an all entrenching, beautiful light.

214
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:52,200
Love a space that you can't describe.

215
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,100
This is a space of like all knowledge where all the knowledge came back to me.

216
00:13:57,100 --> 00:14:05,500
Because like in this room that we're in, we're sort of in this lower level room where we can't get the full capacity of everything.

217
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,700
It's like an amnesia state.

218
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:15,100
So when you go there, you get like this download of information, of full knowledge, of full understanding.

219
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:22,500
And then as time goes on, it sort of goes away, but it's still there and I can still pop up anytime and it can still come back.

220
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,000
And it's like that.

221
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Or, you know, I was, I was shown that we, we have gifts and I have gifts and I was supposed to utilize and find these gifts.

222
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,100
But I was also shown it's everybody as a whole.

223
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:35,700
We all have these beautiful gifts.

224
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:39,000
So it's not just the near deathers that have these things.

225
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:48,800
It's, it's the message of that we all have them and that we're all supposed to find our gifts and we're all supposed to glorify God in those gifts.

226
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,100
At one point I had this because I, I sort of had dreams or different things that would happen.

227
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:59,300
I mean, it's not psychic, but I guess premonitions or I don't know.

228
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:01,100
I know everybody sort of has stuff like that.

229
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:08,200
But I had this dream one time and I woke up saying in my dream, I heard Matthew 516 Matthew 516.

230
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,500
I was like, why in the world is happening?

231
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:21,100
Like I woke up, I looked in the Bible because I knew it was a verse and it said, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in heaven.

232
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:30,700
So for me now with where I'm at and all my studying with the near death stuff and the obsession and trying to figure it out, I could see with the dream.

233
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:49,500
It was almost like confirmation to say, well, we're here to glorify God and in our gift to also love the uniqueness about each other because God created us so unique and so, you know, like that, that we need to love that about each other, you know.

234
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:51,900
No, that's good. That's okay.

235
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:54,800
So you saw light. Did you see anything else?

236
00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:04,000
I don't know. Sometimes I wonder if I did because I had the light review, but sometimes I wonder like I know certain people can't go past the veil and stuff.

237
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:16,400
But I felt like somewhere in there, I heard like trumpets ringing and angels and all the stuff because when I came back from the experience, I would write about all this stuff and I didn't really know where it was coming from.

238
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:28,000
So I think that when I was on the other side, I think I was shown different things and I think that there was angels there for sure. I think that there was an information download.

239
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
I wrote a poem called Home Again and it's all about trumpets ringing and angels singing and all this stuff.

240
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
So I think that I was revealed more stuff because of the amnesia.

241
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,700
I think that it's just not it's just not flooding in.

242
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:44,000
But I know.

243
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Yeah.

244
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,200
That must be frustrating to know that there's so much more that you just don't remember.

245
00:16:51,200 --> 00:17:05,400
Yeah, it is because but now I'm like, oh my gosh, I've been researching near-death experiences again and I haven't really looked into them for about three years, I'd say.

246
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:11,100
And now that I'm looking into them versus before, it's way different than it ever was.

247
00:17:11,100 --> 00:17:16,500
And I've been researching near-death experiences since 2001, since like our accident.

248
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:19,300
And this is a different this is different this time around.

249
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:25,500
It's not the same because of all the information that everyone is putting out there.

250
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:32,100
And now we can all see we've been to the same place and we're talking about the same thing.

251
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:41,000
And that's powerful for me because I have been on this study for so long and it's been just part of my life.

252
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,800
And part of who I am.

253
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:50,800
So to see it in this place where family members are talking about online, they're watching their death experience stuff and they're hearing about it.

254
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,000
And they're like amazed and then I like, oh my gosh, it's so exciting.

255
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,000
We're at this point where everybody's talking about this and people are like, no, it's it's real.

256
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,400
It's it's scientifically proven and that is validating for me.

257
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,600
That sounds good.

258
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,200
Just your personal opinion.

259
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,700
Why do you think so many people have such different experiences?

260
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,900
Because you just mentioned that everybody goes to the same place.

261
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:18,000
I think they do.

262
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,800
I would that's kind of the impression.

263
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,800
You know, we all sort of talk about this.

264
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,700
It's very similar, you know, I feel I don't know with my experience of the ones I've seen.

265
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,900
Maybe there's a lot more that are very different.

266
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:32,700
Well, there are.

267
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:35,800
I mean, some people go to a black void.

268
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,800
Some people are in light like you.

269
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,400
Some people are in a grassy meadow or have oceans and a beach.

270
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,200
There's all kinds of different things.

271
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,000
And it doesn't mean that one isn't right and one is right.

272
00:18:51,000 --> 00:19:01,900
In fact, for me, that gives more validity to the whole thing that everybody would have a little bit different kind of an experience with some commonalities.

273
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:10,200
Yes, do you think maybe the reason why is because we're created so unique?

274
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:24,100
Because I think individuality is something that is very that God created us as is these unique individuals to think for ourselves and to have our own opinion based on our personality.

275
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:25,000
That kind of thing.

276
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:32,900
So I kind of wonder if that's why our experiences are different because we are different as people were different.

277
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:34,200
We are.

278
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:41,800
And I think these experiences are tailor made for each of us based on our background.

279
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:49,400
You know, if somebody grows up one way and they have an experience that is so out and left field from there.

280
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:49,900
I don't know.

281
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:54,700
Maybe they have a hard time processing that versus something very familiar to them.

282
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:55,300
Yeah.

283
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:57,700
Or very comforting to them.

284
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:59,300
But this isn't about my opinion.

285
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:00,200
It's about yours.

286
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,800
You're the guest today.

287
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,700
But that's kind of I agree with you.

288
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:11,600
I think that you have a point and I think that it's God is so individual with us and with who we are.

289
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:20,300
And I think that's kind of fitting to say, yeah, I think God does it individual per person and what's going to be comfortable and what's going to be okay.

290
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:33,400
And I think we also have different things that we battle within ourselves and maybe there's different places that we have to go to in that spiritual realm to kind of work through this type of stuff.

291
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:43,500
I think that he or she or our creator, I think that our creator makes it unique for us to for our learning experience.

292
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:54,300
Because only only he knows only our creator knows what is best for us and our creator knows us better than anybody else.

293
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:56,600
And you know, anybody because he created us.

294
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:05,900
So he's probably going to create these unique scenarios to fit what is going to help us grow is my thought.

295
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:07,700
That makes sense to me.

296
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,600
And it shows a great respect for individuality of everybody.

297
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:20,100
Oh, yes, I'm very big on making that a point because we live in a world right now where everything is everything is kind of working against itself.

298
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:23,400
Sort of this chaotic space that we're in.

299
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:34,400
And I think that the only thing that can really combat that is is love unconditional love where you're like, this person really does care, you know.

300
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:42,400
And I think that's a good way to combat a lot of that because it's just not working for society so far.

301
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaking of love, you said at the beginning of this experience, how good it felt wherever you were, how good it felt.

302
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Tell me a little bit more about that.

303
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:03,500
Well, I was trying to describe it the other day and I wrote it down because I was like, how do you really describe heaven or that realm?

304
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:06,800
Let me grab this book because I think I might have wrote it down in here.

305
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:16,800
And I was just kind of trying to go through what I thought would describe the heavenly realm.

306
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,500
So I just wrote like a list of all the things that would describe it.

307
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:27,600
And okay, so I wrote a list and that because I was like, how do I describe that side?

308
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:34,000
Like, I don't even know, I don't think there's actually words to describe heaven, but I'm going to try.

309
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:47,600
So I wrote the other side is a place of peace, love, joy, bliss, empathy, happiness, laughter, victory, celebration, colorful, musical, bright,

310
00:22:47,600 --> 00:23:01,000
adoring, warm, fuzzy, sparkly, connected, love, reunited, home, unified, blessed, wholeness. No words can fully explain the spec of what this means.

311
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,800
So there's, there's just no words that can.

312
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:12,800
I think because in this realm, we're not elevated to that level and that degree.

313
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:22,000
This is like a realm where you can't, you can experience things in this realm to learn and to grow.

314
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,800
But in heaven, only love can exist there.

315
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,200
So you can't bring this type of stuff to the heavenly realm.

316
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,200
We can only do this type of growth here.

317
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,600
Can I ask about one of the words on your list?

318
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,400
And that was a lot.

319
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,600
You went fast.

320
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,000
But one that stuck out to me as being unusual was the word victory.

321
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
What?

322
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,200
What did that come to your mind?

323
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:52,600
Victory is a good word because in love, there's victory.

324
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,200
In love, it's, it's everything that we could ever dream of.

325
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,600
It's a place of where we are, where we're meant to be, where we are.

326
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,200
We're meant to be in that space.

327
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,600
So that's where the victory is at.

328
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,200
The victory of like, we're coming home.

329
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:06,600
We're here.

330
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,200
We made it.

331
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,400
We graduated.

332
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:15,400
We, when we come to this earth, it's a huge accomplishment and it's not easy.

333
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,200
And I'm pretty sure God knows that it is not easy.

334
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,200
So when you come home, I believe you have like a graduation.

335
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:30,800
And so in that graduation, in that celebration, in that space, there is a victory because you did it.

336
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,800
You accomplished it.

337
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,800
You made it.

338
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Your victory is in love because God is love, so your victory is to be back with where you came from.

339
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,800
Does that make sense?

340
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,800
Yeah.

341
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,800
Yeah, I like it.

342
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,800
Let's get back to the traffic accident.

343
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Tell me how badly you were hurt and what your recovery was like.

344
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,800
Let's see.

345
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,800
I had two broken legs, a broken arm.

346
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:01,800
I was hit on the head really hard from impact from, I think the vehicle and also the,

347
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,800
what is it called, the big puffy thing that comes out?

348
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:06,800
That airbag.

349
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,800
Yeah, thank you.

350
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,800
I'm sorry.

351
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800
I like the big puffy thing better.

352
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,800
I wish you were a giant marshmallow.

353
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,800
That would be better.

354
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,800
I know.

355
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,800
It felt like a marshmallow after it hit me really hard.

356
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,800
After it knocked your lights out.

357
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:28,800
So my forearm, I'm really glad I have a forearm because I almost, I almost lost it.

358
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,800
It was literally like hanging from skin.

359
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,800
You know, here's it right here.

360
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,800
You're showing me a scar?

361
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Yeah.

362
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,800
Oh, cruel.

363
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,800
Yeah.

364
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,800
And then I had this, it's a tattoo that I got when I was younger.

365
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,800
I actually want to redo it.

366
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:52,800
But so I put that there and then I got my two legs were broken and then I was in a wheelchair

367
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,800
for a while, but I was just really happy because I was alive.

368
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,800
My accident was also on Mother's Day.

369
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:06,800
So my poor mom, she was like, it was the best Mother's Day because I heard my daughter

370
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,440
alive when, because she heard about it.

371
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,800
And then to hear me on the phone alive, she was like, oh, thank goodness, like release,

372
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,800
you know, so as I'm a mom now and I'm going, oh my gosh, it's just traumatic.

373
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,800
Yeah.

374
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,720
What was the, what did they tell her in the first phone call?

375
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,680
Your daughter was in a car accident and you need to come or something like that.

376
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,680
And then

377
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,080
Very little information.

378
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,080
It sounds like

379
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,080
Yeah.

380
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,280
I just kind of like hurry and come and then so she came and, and then she got me and she

381
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,000
took me home soon after, you know, I was there for five days.

382
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,080
I was airlifted when I was hit and everything.

383
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,680
And so I was there for five days and just kind of recovered in there.

384
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,680
Okay.

385
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,440
We're going to wrap up, but I have a feeling you have some great advice for all of us.

386
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,720
What have you learned from this that you want to share?

387
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:04,080
Well, I would say my great advice and, you know, being in the human form is not anything

388
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,280
it, but that's why we're here to learn and to grow because God knew, like, I think he

389
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,720
knew it wasn't going to be easy, but he never leaves us.

390
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,160
He's inside of us.

391
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,640
For me is like the refreshing thing about being alive is that like, we're not alone.

392
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,220
We never are alone.

393
00:27:21,220 --> 00:27:25,840
We feel like we're alone, but when we go home, it's like literally like waking up from a

394
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,840
dream.

395
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:33,080
We have amnesia, but there is a true reality and a true home that really exists and that's

396
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,280
our real home and that we are going to go back to that home and it's absolutely wonderful

397
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,780
and beautiful.

398
00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:40,640
This isn't our real home.

399
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,240
And so when you're dealing with stress and life and just all the normal, you know, life

400
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,080
stuff, just remember that love is our true home.

401
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,840
God is our true home and we will reside in that and we're just here to learn.

402
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,880
I know it's not easy, but we are just here to learn and to love one another and in every

403
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,520
situation, if you can choose love, choose love because that's the thing that will help us

404
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,400
grow is that love.

405
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,320
And that's the things that we're going to take with us is all that beautiful love.

406
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:19,800
And if you have lost anybody, just know that they're never going to leave us.

407
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,440
They're always going to be here for us.

408
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,320
They're not gone.

409
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:30,560
They're just resting with God and I believe that they can visit us because love is eternal.

410
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:36,760
So the eternity of love and the timeless realm, there's something so much more to that.

411
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:43,880
It takes us away from this reality that feels like a prison in a sense because we can't see,

412
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,480
but the real reality is not a prison.

413
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,200
It does not feel that way.

414
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,280
Everything makes full sense.

415
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,560
So we're going to have that clarity and understanding and that's what I love is the clarity in the

416
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,560
true.

417
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,520
I'd have to say that's what I have to say.

418
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,520
That's great.

419
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,120
I hope you don't mind me asking.

420
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,800
You mentioned that you lost your father a few months ago.

421
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:12,280
How has this knowledge that you have helped you through that grieving process?

422
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:18,120
I think just knowing like, because when my dad passed, I think that God allowed me to

423
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:24,640
see into that other realm when he was passing and I think that was the gift for me was like,

424
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,440
God allowed me to see.

425
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,160
I know there was angels there to get my dad and I know his mom came.

426
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,680
I know there was a big celebration.

427
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,960
I know that the Holy Spirit was there.

428
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,400
I felt it.

429
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:44,720
And so I think part of my gift was that God allowed me to see where my dad was going and

430
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,880
allowed me to see that he was okay.

431
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,040
God allowed me to see just beyond the veil.

432
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:57,160
It's like, just in my spirit, I knew and I could see it and I knew where my dad was going

433
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,560
and that was beautiful.

434
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:04,280
I was just, that was the best thing I could ever ask for is to be able to see into that

435
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:11,960
realm and be like, wow, he's really popular and he kicked butt on smashing these generational

436
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,040
curses.

437
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:19,280
He did some powerful things here on earth and when he went home, he was very celebrated

438
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,720
and that was shown to me.

439
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,720
Literally your figure too.

440
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,840
I could feel it in my spirit.

441
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,840
I could feel it.

442
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,160
I just, I don't know, it's very hard to explain, but I just nailed.

443
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,160
I just nailed.

444
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Well, here's a little something for you to study and that is shared death experiences

445
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,520
and we will be talking more about them on this podcast in the future.

446
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Okay.

447
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,680
So, but they can be an absolutely beautiful thing.

448
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,120
Last question on a scale of one to 10, how much fear of death do you have?

449
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,120
Zero.

450
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,120
Zero, none.

451
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,120
No fear.

452
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,120
All right.

453
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,520
