00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480
From the time that they pronounced me deaf was a good 45 minutes.
2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,440
They cut my clothes and then they paddled my heart, my heart had stopped.
3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,120
And I could see people screaming and crying, but I didn't realize that was actually my
4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,320
physical body because I was somewhere else.
5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,400
The only thing that I could feel, if you could imagine, absolute love and peace, there wasn't
6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
anything else to be felt.
7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,560
I was greeted by people I'd known in the past.
8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,160
On back home again.
9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,160
Incredibly safe and felt at home.
10
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:44,280
Welcome, welcome to Round Trip Death this morning everybody and welcome to our special guest,
11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Lisa.
12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,880
Good morning, Lisa.
13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Good morning.
14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,320
Thank you for having me.
15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,320
You are so welcome and I know you're a little bit nervous this morning because you have
16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,840
not shared this publicly before, but just picture people in about a hundred countries
17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:11,160
out there listening to you and some watching you on YouTube and they're all smiling and
18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,400
they're all wishing you well and love is coming your way so that you can relax and be able
19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,520
to share with us.
20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,080
So thanks for being here.
21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Before we jump into it, would you mind telling us a little bit about you?
22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:33,720
I am a mom of five, a grandma of three.
23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:44,920
I enjoy working with my hands and we can process of starting my own business, hopefully.
24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,920
That's exciting.
25
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,920
Yeah.
26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,200
I like doing lapidary.
27
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Okay, I'm going to pretend I know what that is, but you better fill in the blanks for
28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,320
me.
29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Okay, working with stone.
30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,040
I carve stone, I make all kinds of things out of stone.
31
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Well, that's interesting.
32
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Okay.
33
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,200
With old fashioned tools or with lasers and stuff?
34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Oh, I don't use lasers.
35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,080
Lasers make everything look too perfect.
36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:24,600
I personally like the handmade look because it's all individual.
37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,800
There's no two that are the same and I can go with the pattern or grain of the stone
38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,880
rather than have it all just come out looking the same.
39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,880
That is awesome.
40
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:42,280
I'd love to see some of your creative work, but in the meantime, you have a really interesting
41
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,880
near death experience that we're going to be talking about today.
42
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,080
Remind me, when did this happen?
43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,840
This happened in April of 2013.
44
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,600
Tell me what was going on.
45
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,880
What led up to this experience?
46
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Okay, so it was April of 2013 and my stepson and I had decided that we wanted to do something
47
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:15,880
special for my husband who is just a great guy and does a whole lot for us and we wanted
48
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,640
something to do to show our gratitude for him and we were going to go and get him a
49
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,320
new recliner.
50
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:30,360
But he had the pickup truck that we needed to take it home, go pick it up.
51
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,760
But my stepson had a sports car.
52
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,200
I think it was an Acura or something.
53
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:46,320
So we were going to go switch vehicles with him and we were sitting in a red light.
54
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
We were hit from behind.
55
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,000
We were hit from behind at 70 miles an hour while we were just doing nothing.
56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
We were just sitting there.
57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:05,320
What happened is that a driver, it was a big SUV and my son's car was a lot lower than
58
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,320
the SUV was.
59
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,600
The SUV went up and over the top and crushed the passenger side where I was.
60
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,880
That's when my near-death experience started.
61
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:25,280
I went from sitting in a car looking over at the parking lot where my husband worked,
62
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:34,480
trying to find his truck to suddenly being in what I've been told is the void.
63
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,200
And that was surprising.
64
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,360
I imagine it was.
65
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,600
Did you even have any idea that that truck was coming or was it just all of a sudden
66
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,600
lights out?
67
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,600
No.
68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,840
It was just all of a sudden lights out.
69
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:52,280
If I would have passed at that moment, I would have died without feeling any pain at
70
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:53,280
all.
71
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,280
Yeah.
72
00:04:54,280 --> 00:05:01,320
Okay, before we jump into the void and what else happened to you, give us an idea just
73
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,680
so we know how bad this was.
74
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,800
You said the passenger side was crushed, what kinds of injuries did you sustain?
75
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:17,160
I had a broken back right at the base of my neck, so it affected my back and neck at T2.
76
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,960
I also had brain injuries.
77
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Some of the pauses that I have when I talk are because of the brain injury that I had.
78
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680
All right.
79
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Well then let's jump right into it.
80
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,360
So you mentioned something about a void.
81
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:41,160
Did you have any experience feeling like you left your body or you just sort of blink and
82
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,640
woke up and hear you were in this void?
83
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,000
And if so, tell me what it was like.
84
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Okay.
85
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:57,040
For me, I don't remember anything that was in between me being in the car and being in
86
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,040
the void.
87
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,840
Just suddenly there I was.
88
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:07,120
And that is a very calming, peaceful place.
89
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,400
It's surprising to me.
90
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:15,480
At one point in my life, I worked emergency dispatch.
91
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:22,680
And it was surprising to me when I worked emergency dispatch that so many adults were afraid of
92
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,240
the dark.
93
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,880
And this was not a place like that.
94
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,040
This is not a place to fear.
95
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,360
This is a very, oh yeah, it's dark, but it's very peaceful.
96
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,760
Did you feel like you were traveling somewhere or you were just at a standstill in a dark
97
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,760
place?
98
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,760
I felt like I was in a standstill in a dark place.
99
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,600
I wish I could remember something before that, but I just don't.
100
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Oh, that's okay.
101
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,080
And you mentioned the word peaceful.
102
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,520
What else are you feeling at this point?
103
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,240
Calm, healing.
104
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,640
I think I was just kind of enjoying it for a minute.
105
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,880
That may not make sense to some of the people listening, but it's just so calm and peaceful.
106
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,880
You just kind of soak it in and enjoy it.
107
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,840
It's healing.
108
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,400
What happened next?
109
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:28,720
I started thinking about why I had been put there or how I got there, and I was kind of
110
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,640
a little concerned about my stepson, wondering what was going on with him.
111
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:43,520
As I was thinking about my stepson, I started traveling out of the void and I went to him.
112
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,920
He's the one that was driving the car?
113
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Yes.
114
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Okay, was he hurt as well?
115
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Yes, but not as bad.
116
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:59,360
When I saw him, I was of course still outside of my body looking at the situation.
117
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:08,040
And I saw him just sobbing uncontrollably, and he was trapped in his seatbelt in the
118
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,680
car.
119
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,800
And he was just sobbing and he was looking over at me and he was saying, I'm so sorry,
120
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,440
I'm so sorry, mom.
121
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,680
I didn't mean to do this.
122
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,760
I honestly don't understand how, sorry, I'm getting a little emotional here.
123
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,760
My eyes are getting a little wisty, but it's just kind of an emotional thing.
124
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,760
Seeing your child that you raised, he's my stepson, but I raised him.
125
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,840
Then it was, it's emotional thinking about him being that upset.
126
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:44,360
Anyway, I don't know how I was able to do this, but first we're gifted this.
127
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,520
I'll use that because I don't know any other way to put it.
128
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:55,400
I was gifted the opportunity to go back in my body long enough to look in his eyes, hold
129
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,440
his arm and say, it's okay, this was not your fault.
130
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,000
And then just suddenly boom, I'm out again.
131
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Wow.
132
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,440
That must have brought him a lot of peace.
133
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,440
I hope so.
134
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,440
Yeah.
135
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,440
Yeah.
136
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,440
Okay.
137
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,440
What happened to you next?
138
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Okay, from there, I was kind of teleported a distance away.
139
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,840
It was, I would say maybe a football field away.
140
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:31,720
So I was aware of what was going on behind me, but there were, there was a group of people
141
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,520
who were there that I saw.
142
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:42,440
And I've explained this part to other people as being similar to the feeling of walking
143
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,080
into a room full of people and your eyes kind of look around.
144
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Now, keep in mind, I was still outside, but I was looking around at all the people and
145
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:01,960
it was the feeling of trying to find the first person who I recognized and felt comfortable
146
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,960
with.
147
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,320
I'm sure that that's relatable.
148
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,560
And so in this case, it was my brother who had passed a few years before.
149
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:18,800
So I went over to him and I asked him about the group of people, about who they were.
150
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,240
And he basically said family.
151
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:30,440
And then there was another person who came and got me and took me for my life review.
152
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,680
Okay.
153
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:37,240
I'm not trying to be like, you know, lawyer putting all the exact timeline together here,
154
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,800
but I just want to make sure I'm clear.
155
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:46,880
So were you, had you left the void when you went, you said about a football field away,
156
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,160
saw your brother, saw other people?
157
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,720
I was out of the void.
158
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,240
So it was not in a dark place anymore.
159
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Do you remember seeing anything else there?
160
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,360
Just the vibrant colors.
161
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,720
I saw vibrant colors everywhere.
162
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:08,800
It looked like I was just about a football field away from the car, from the accident.
163
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,800
And everything looked more vibrant, more clear.
164
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,600
I was still on the planet, I guess.
165
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,520
I don't know how to word it.
166
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,120
We're still right here.
167
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:32,120
And somebody took you for a life review, any idea who that person was or angel or...
168
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,120
I have really focused in on it, trying to figure out who that was and I really don't.
169
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,600
This was a man who I felt really comfortable with.
170
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,600
I felt like I should know him, but I didn't know who he was.
171
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,560
Some people have tried to get me to say that that exact person was Jesus, it wasn't.
172
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,400
This was somebody else.
173
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,600
I believe I would have known if it was Jesus and this was not Jesus.
174
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Okay, well let's talk about the life review.
175
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,520
These fascinate me.
176
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,280
Tell me about yours.
177
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Well I was taken to a place in a forest, in the trees.
178
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,240
And for me, I think that makes sense.
179
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:25,480
I very much feel comfortable in the woods, in the forest.
180
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,040
I grew up in the woods.
181
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:34,560
When the life review began, it was like spread over a length of trees.
182
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:38,840
And I knew that the trees were there, but I saw my life.
183
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,840
Like on a screen or just...
184
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,840
Yeah.
185
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,640
It was just there, like a screen.
186
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,000
For me it was kind of like a screen.
187
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Was it chronological or maybe this event and then that event and then that event?
188
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,480
It was chronological.
189
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,240
Okay, do you want to tell us about some of it?
190
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Well what I will say is that when I had my life review, it was chronological and I saw
191
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:23,120
my life not only my experience with the thing, but also I was able to feel and see what my
192
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,760
action had on other people.
193
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:35,960
So if I could give an example from when I was three, when I was three, I saw myself throw
194
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,280
sand at my brother.
195
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:43,120
It's the one who had already passed and it landed in his eyes and I saw the pain that
196
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,120
he had.
197
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,160
I felt the pain that he had.
198
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:59,680
I felt him, the anger towards me and he in panic ran to my mom and I felt so terrible
199
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:03,240
after having seen that and felt what he went through.
200
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:09,240
I had even forgotten about it to be honest, but this is something that I felt him and
201
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,240
how what my action, something just silly like a three-year-old throwing sand.
202
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,600
Yeah, give us another one.
203
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,360
Something else was when I was in junior high, you know how junior high kids can be kind
204
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,600
of not so nice.
205
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:33,640
I saw myself thinking that I was being funny with a friend of mine and I tripped her in
206
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:40,600
the hall thinking that it was funny because kids are kind of, a lot of kids just don't
207
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,600
have their head screwed on straight yet and they think that things are a way that they're
208
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:51,960
not and I saw my friends anger and humiliation and I felt it and I felt so bad.
209
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,600
I wish that I could find her now, I don't even know how I would even begin and tell
210
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,320
her I'm sorry.
211
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,360
A lot of people that have life reviews when they're explaining them to me, they bring
212
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,520
up negative things that happen like that.
213
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:12,080
Did you also see positive things that you had done and how they affected other people?
214
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:20,320
Yes, I think that just a comment about how people tend to focus on the bad things because
215
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,640
that's what affects us the most.
216
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:29,360
We feel ashamed and so we think about that and we're always trying to maybe remember
217
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,160
that and do better.
218
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,080
Yeah, well that's part of the learning process.
219
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,400
It is.
220
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,040
And I believe these NDEs are for us to learn and grow.
221
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,360
I would agree with you 100% and that's why I'm here today is because I'm really hoping
222
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,120
to help somebody.
223
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,720
So tell me one of the positive ones.
224
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Let's see, helping my sister's children learn things, helping with their homework.
225
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:06,360
Yeah, she's a lot older than I am and I would go and help her watch her kids while she went
226
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:12,280
to work sometimes and I would just hang out there with them and we'd have a lot of fun
227
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,960
and I'd help them with their homework and I even went to a parent teacher conference
228
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
for my sister.
229
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,840
I saw the effect of that.
230
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:29,560
So what happened after the life review or was there a culmination to it of some sort?
231
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:37,560
After the life review, I was not feeling real good about some of my choices for obvious
232
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:45,840
reasons and I turned and looked at the person who was with me.
233
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,360
I didn't have words.
234
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:56,240
Well first let me just say that in the, that you don't really speak with words like I'm
235
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,320
talking to you.
236
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000
You speak more telepathically.
237
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,120
It's more of a pure language.
238
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,040
There's no room for misunderstanding.
239
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:17,240
There's the emotion here on immortality, you just can't seem to quite find the words.
240
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:25,280
But there it's pure communication and the feeling that I had was just a mixture.
241
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:34,840
It was embarrassment and sadness and yet happiness it was over in a way and also happiness
242
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,080
that I had so many good things too.
243
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,880
Just a quick break to recognize this episode's sponsor Mochi Health.

254
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,040
Now back to our guest.
255
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,600
I wanted to stay.
256
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,400
I told this person that I wanted to stay.
257
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800
He said, you've got to go back.
258
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,440
I said, but it feels so good here.
259
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,240
I don't want to go.
260
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,040
I really love the feeling here.
261
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,600
I don't want to go back.
262
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,240
He said, you have to.
263
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,640
I said, why?
264
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,640
That's a legitimate question.
265
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,640
It really is.
266
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,840
I wanted to know why I had to go back.
267
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,400
He said, you still have things to do.
268
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:05,400
I felt like I felt inside like a two year old throwing a fit.
269
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:13,840
I was like, no, I don't want to go.
270
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:25,080
And he put his arm around me and he said, there are so many people out there who don't
271
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,960
know that this is real.
272
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:39,720
And he said, there are so many people who don't understand even the most basic feeling
273
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,680
of love.
274
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:52,040
And he said, you need to go back and help as many people as you can to be able to feel
275
00:19:52,040 --> 00:20:00,400
love, even if it's a smile, even if it's something small, you need to go back.
276
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,720
I couldn't argue with that.
277
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:09,400
I mean, how do you argue something like that when this person tells you that you need to
278
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,840
go back for that?
279
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:17,640
Because I did know what love was and I knew the feeling there.
280
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:24,480
So that's why I came back is to try to help as many people as I could.
281
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,720
What was the light coming back?
282
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,640
Were you just all of a sudden woke up in your body or was there anything else between this
283
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,040
time?
284
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:43,080
I was put back into my body and I remember feeling, well, it was very fast movement and
285
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440
then I was back.
286
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:56,400
And I felt a whole lot of pain and confusion and heaviness.
287
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,240
I felt the heaviness of my body.
288
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,200
Things are a lot lighter over there.
289
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,360
And so that's what I experienced exactly when I came back.
290
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,520
And did the pain start settling in?
291
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,520
Oh, yeah.
292
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,240
It was intense pain everywhere.
293
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,800
Must have been very, very unpleasant.
294
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,280
I'd like to hear a little bit about your physical recovery, but first, is there anything else
295
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,440
with your experience that you feel comfortable sharing?
296
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,680
I don't know who that man was.
297
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,320
Some people have tried to tell me that that was a spirit guide.
298
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,320
I don't know.
299
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,520
I did introduce himself and I didn't ask, I just felt comfortable with him.
300
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,400
Did you and your brother talk about anything else?
301
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,240
No, I really wish I would have had more time with him.
302
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,680
We were very happy to see each other, but it was very fast.
303
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,600
I wonder who some of those other people were at that place.
304
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,360
You said you felt like they were relatives.
305
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,160
He told me they were relatives.
306
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Okay.
307
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:14,720
That would be fun if you could find pictures of great grandpa Fred and go, oh yeah, I remember
308
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,880
seeing that guy or something, but it sounds like it happened too fast.
309
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,880
It did.
310
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,280
I did focus in on one or two of them, but I haven't been able to find any pictures that
311
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,560
match them, maybe because of the ages.
312
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,160
There's nobody old there.
313
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,880
It's all, everybody's younger.
314
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,400
Well, yeah.
315
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,120
And great grandpa Fred, we tend to have pictures of when he was 80 or 90 years old.
316
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,120
Exactly.
317
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,240
It would be hard to recognize him anyway.
318
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,240
So I get it.
319
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,640
That is really cool.
320
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,640
All right.
321
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,760
What was your recovery like?
322
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,720
That sounds like rough injuries.
323
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,040
I had to have a C-collar on.
324
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:58,680
C-collar just goes around the neck and keeps everything from moving.
325
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,640
It's hard plastic.
326
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:08,400
I was told that I should not lay down flat, so I was sleeping in a recliner for about
327
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,120
six months.
328
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:14,440
And I had a brain injury.
329
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,580
It's left me with a little bit of speech problems.
330
00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:20,840
You're doing great, by the way.
331
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Don't worry about that.
332
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,840
Thank you.
333
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,840
Thank you.
334
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,840
I have no idea how much prayer I did before.
335
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,840
What did this?
336
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,640
Well, then you're being very blessed because your speech sounds fine today.
337
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,680
Thank you very much, your kind.
338
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,600
But I had to go to a neuropsychologist.
339
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,080
I didn't even know what that was before this.
340
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:50,960
But she helped me to be able to get a lot of my speech so that it was more fluid, a lot
341
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,280
better.
342
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:59,920
She helped me be able to know how to get things done, really.
343
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,720
She taught me about lists.
344
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:12,360
She says that a lot of people with brain injuries, they will look at, for example, a sink full
345
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:18,120
of dirty dishes, and they'll think, huh, those dirty dishes need to be done.
346
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:23,800
But something inside of the person with the brain injury can't quite put it together
347
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,960
in their mind how to do all the dishes, even though they've done it a thousand times before
348
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,480
or more.
349
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:36,320
So if you stop when you're feeling overwhelmed like that and make a list, then that will
350
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,640
help with that.
351
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,200
That's kind of what a neuropsychologist does, is help you figure out how to do things again.
352
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,440
Sounds like I have a brain injury.
353
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,720
I do that.
354
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,960
You don't do dishes, do you?
355
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,080
Yes, I do.
356
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,960
But I often look at them like that and feel overwhelmed.
357
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,360
How's this changed your life?
358
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:09,160
Well, immediately after there was a depression that sat in, the depression was really, really
359
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,280
almost, what's the word I'm looking for?
360
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,880
It handicapped me.
361
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,480
Debilitating?
362
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,480
Thank you.
363
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,480
That's the word I need.
364
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,960
Thank you for helping me with that.
365
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:25,080
So it was very debilitating having this depression.
366
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,120
It was hard to get the motivation up to do just about anything.
367
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:37,360
I would go outside in the backyard and I would just sit on a bench in the backyard and just
368
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:40,600
cry.
369
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:48,640
I'd bear off into nothing and pray and beg to be able to be taken back.
370
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,120
Please, isn't there somebody else?
371
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,120
I just want to go back.
372
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:57,000
I would hate myself because like I said, I had kids.
373
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Two of them were still at home.
374
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,880
I had one in high school and one in junior high and I hated myself for feeling that way
375
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,160
because I knew that I would leave them.
376
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:17,560
But I also knew that time is different here than it is there and that I would see them
377
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,920
soon anyway and they would understand.
378
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,040
They would understand when they could feel it.
379
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,160
And so I really had a tough time with that.
380
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:34,200
And then my son would come and tell me something fun he did at school and some band thing he
381
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,200
was going to be in and he wanted me there and I'm like, okay.
382
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,720
Yeah, I really needed to be there and be there for him for this.
383
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,160
Still, even every once in a while now, I'll start thinking about it.
384
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:51,280
I'll have a bad day and I'll think about heaven and I'll wish that I could be there.
385
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:57,440
But it's not as debilitating as it was for me back then.
386
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,160
I've been able to work through that over the years.
387
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,640
That's a very common thing for experiencers to have been in a place that wonderful of
388
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,520
course you miss it.
389
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,400
And of course you'll be excited to go back there someday at the right time.
390
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,280
Okay, some people feel like their personality changes quite a bit.
391
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,680
Now you had a brain injury too, which can change your personality a little bit.
392
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:28,400
Have you had other people tell you that this is Lisa 2.0?
393
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,400
Maybe 1.5.
394
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,320
I feel like that I am a better person now.
395
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,200
I've been told that I'm a better person now.
396
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,680
I've been told that people can sense more peace in me.
397
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,600
I'll go to the grocery store or someplace and people, it's like I have a target on my
398
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,920
back or something and people will want to come up and talk to me and I'll give them
399
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:05,440
my full attention and I will talk to them and they can tell me anything and they do.
400
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,320
And they hopefully leave feeling a little bit better.
401
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,560
That's a gift.
402
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,720
That was a gift given to me there.
403
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,720
That's part of the Lisa 1.5 or 2.0.
404
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:18,960
Yeah.
405
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,400
Has it affected your personal relationships either for better or for worse?
406
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,080
For better, definitely.
407
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,080
That's great.
408
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,000
At first, people would come to me and they would tell me how sad they were for me and
409
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,320
I'm like, well, maybe not at first, but a few months later after I'd worked through
410
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,840
some of the depression and that people would come to me and they'd say, I'm so sorry that
411
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,840
happened to you.
412
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,640
You still have that C-Colorone?
413
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,600
Oh man, I'm so sorry.
414
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:54,000
I would just be like, hey, don't cry for me because what I got in return is definitely
415
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,640
worth it.
416
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,880
And what made it worth it is I'm no longer afraid of death.
417
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,840
I could die this exact moment and I would be okay with it.
418
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:11,560
And I have a level of peace that I have not maybe ever had.
419
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Before we wrap up, I'm just trying to think of, because what you just said is beautiful
420
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:23,560
and there is somebody out there listening today that's struggling with whatever, be it
421
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:29,960
depression or just life or a major trial that they're going through or maybe the loss of
422
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,360
a loved one.
423
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,920
What else can you say to them from what you learned that might give them some hope?
424
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,160
Just because somebody dies does not mean that they quit thinking about you.
425
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,600
They think about you all the time.
426
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,360
They check in on you.
427
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,800
They are waiting.
428
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:56,920
I think that you couldn't help but to know that it's worse for us here than there because
429
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,040
their time moves so differently than here.
430
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Here we're left with loneliness.
431
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,480
They have regrets too.
432
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:14,240
If I would have been kept there like I wanted, I would have had regrets.
433
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,720
Everybody has regrets on both sides.
434
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,160
Maybe they didn't get to say goodbye to you.
435
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,120
I wouldn't have had a chance to say goodbye to my kids.
436
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,640
That would have played on me a little bit.
437
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:31,040
But it's not the same though because of the level of peace and love that's there.
438
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:36,320
You know that you're going to see them in basically a couple minutes anyway.
439
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:44,760
When you have tasted eternity, it's just so much, your understanding of things is just
440
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,240
so much deeper and better than what we have here.
441
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:57,080
When somebody dies, the people who are left behind are the ones who are affected the worst.
442
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,520
But just know that you're going to see them in a flash.
443
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,360
Who was the first person that you told this experience to?
444
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,200
How long after the accident was it?
445
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,760
It was my husband.
446
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,600
How did he react?
447
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,040
He didn't know how to react.
448
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:20,200
He was very cautious, very sad because of what had happened.
449
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,280
He almost lost me.
450
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,600
I still can't talk to him very much about it.
451
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,920
But I told him and he, I didn't tell him everything real.
452
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:36,320
I don't think I've still told him everything just because of his reactions when I tell
453
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,200
him he's just sad.
454
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,920
I don't want to make him sad.
455
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:47,440
And this has been over 11 years ago and I know you've told a handful of other people,
456
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,640
but not publicly to this point.
457
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,720
How come?
458
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,680
Because not everybody believes you.
459
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:02,320
I have considered it to be a little sacred and not something that I wanted people to
460
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,920
make fun of me for or anybody.
461
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:11,000
I don't think anybody who says this, who says that they've had a near-death experience,
462
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,880
I don't think anybody should be discounted immediately because somebody doesn't believe
463
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,200
in an afterlife.
464
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,720
There's enough people out there who have said that there's an afterlife and who have had
465
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:29,000
experiences and even though they vary a little bit here and there and from country and culture,
466
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:35,400
pretty much every culture believes that there's something there.
467
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:41,800
People who've been doing this for a long time and coming back in different cultures
468
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,720
and things you can read and study.
469
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,840
Well, Lisa, I really appreciate you being here with us today.
470
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,680
Any last thoughts?
471
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Share love.
472
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,840
It shouldn't be just me who has that job.
473
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,240
Everybody should do that.
474
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:03,120
If you see somebody who needs something, by all means, help them out.
475
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,600
Great message.
476
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,600
