Have you been? 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 3: Hey George, I've been terrific. How have you been? It's 11 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: great to connect with you again. 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: You too. A whole year went by pretty darn fast. 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: And then time is just a funny thing, you know, 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: It really just flies by. It really does. 15 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: For the benefit of those who did not hear you 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: a year ago with us, tell us about this near 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: the experience you had. What happened? 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,639 Speaker 3: I had a condition called pertessis otherwise known as whipping coughs, 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: and at just the young age of three years old, 20 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: I went to a playground and as a result of 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: whipping cough I suffocated and all parts of my body 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: and my brain just were deprived of oxygen and they 23 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: just shut down and stopped working. And once my body 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 3: and brain began to shut down and my entire physical 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: breath was taken, there was this whole other breath that 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: I was able to receive, which I now know is 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: called the breath of eternity, the breath of creation. And 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: I just surrendered to this and at a full blown 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: crossing over experience or neous experience that included the awareness 30 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: of angels, spirit guides, past lives, the lives that I 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: would be doing, awareness of all that there is was 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: will be in the source of creative life itself, which 33 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: many depict does God or the universe, whatever your terminology 34 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: for it is. But it was a profound near death 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: experience and foblone crossing over experience. And with many near 36 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: death experiencers, I would probably say the majority are told, 37 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: you know, it's not your time, you have more maybe 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: work to do. This near death experience, there was freedom 39 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: as to what I would do, you know, staying on 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: the other side or continuing my life, and I just 41 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: simply asked, you know, who am I, Why am I here? 42 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: What am I meant to do in this life, and 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: all of a sudden I was showing pictures of myself 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: and images of what I would be doing in this 45 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 3: life and helping others out and sharing this message, and 46 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: that to me was the tipping point of why I'm 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: here today is to share this message that you know, 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: we do go on, we are eternal, we are infinite, 49 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 3: and life does not stop at death, but it begins anew. 50 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: And so I am here. But I love sharing my story. 51 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 3: I speak throughout the world, and you know, it's it's 52 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: a profound experience that I've been able to really find 53 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 3: meaning and beauty behind it, although for a while it's 54 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: certainly felt like more of a burden than a blessing. 55 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: Really, And at that young age, how did you remember 56 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: all this, Jacob? 57 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: There's a plus, There's a plusor of avenues that I 58 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: really pinpoint as to that's the why I remember this. 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: But the first thing is certainly trauma. You know, I 60 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: work in the mental health field now, and I could 61 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: say how strong an imprint trauma can have. I mean, 62 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: for instance, you know there's the clients that I and 63 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: colleagues have worked with where you know, we've asked you know, 64 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: even young kids to draw pictures of a traumatic event 65 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: and that's very specific what happened to them. And you know, 66 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: this has happened to me in other colleagues where we've 67 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: lost the picture and we just kind of got upset, like, 68 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: oh my god, I can't find this picture. And then 69 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 3: the client at a young age and would be able 70 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: to depict exactly what happened to them when we've been 71 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: able to find that picture. And the point I'm trying 72 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: to make is trauma has an undeniable imprint on the 73 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: brain and there's a memory. There's also a disassociative component, 74 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: which is protective mechanism that people have where they push 75 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 3: away that trauma. But even many your death experiencers who 76 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: might forget their near death experience, we'll see people like 77 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: myself as a hypno therapist and be able to ask 78 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: full recollection. So I think trauma was a gift behind 79 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: the ability to rememb combined with the fact that this 80 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: was something that went far beyond my brain my body, 81 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 3: and this is a memory really stored within deeper than 82 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: my subconscious mind. So there's a lot of avenues to 83 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: point to it, but certainly something that's never left with 84 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: me since that day in September of nineteen ninety three. 85 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: It is truly remarkable that you kept this all these years, 86 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: this knowledge. 87 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's well. It was certainly what led to 88 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: a very complex childhood. I remember very little about my childhood, 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: but coming back to my preschool, I just remembered this 90 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: liver of light that was going through my brain, which 91 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: new death experienced researchers have really had congruencies what I 92 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: experience to point that the brain is not the producer 93 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: of life, but rather just the filter of it. And 94 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: when my brain, you know, shut down, that's when the 95 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: proverbial saying that says, you know, when my brain snapped 96 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: in half, that's when God came in. And you know, 97 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: that literally happened to me. But my brain was very 98 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: much changed. And this is a TBI that I experienced. 99 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: But I just experienced the liver of light, and from 100 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 3: this liver of light, I had premonitions, hiding intuitions, I 101 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: had interdimensional communication. But the hard part was and the 102 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 3: isolating part was I learned very quickly that this was 103 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: foreign to people around me, and so I kept it 104 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: quite close to me, which is very common as a 105 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: lot of near death experiencers where they'll have something so 106 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: sacred or they'll know that it's something that others won't 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: understand around themselves, so they'll keep it to themselves, rather 108 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: than having others put down their experience, judge or experience 109 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: to when they shut down their own experience themselves. So 110 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: I kept it very very much close to myself for 111 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: nearly two decades. It was when the first time I 112 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: really started to become public with the near death experience. 113 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: Would you say, Jacob, that this near death experience was 114 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: the catalyst for where you are today? 115 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: It not, as not only is just the catalyst, but 116 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: it is my everything. You know, when I think of 117 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: my new death experience, I think of just this ultimate 118 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: gift that I have, and it was a gift that 119 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: really showed me who we are while we're here. But 120 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: more importantly, I was able to be given a second 121 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: chance of life in this body. And so for myself 122 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: and my work, you know, I see people who feel 123 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: like they don't want to live anymore, or metaphorically they 124 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: feel dead inside. And so my work in the mental 125 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: health field and hypnosis as a healer, it's to try 126 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: to get people to really tap into their own life 127 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: force when they're feeling disconnected, and to give that back 128 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: to other people and to empower others. And so given 129 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: a gift, you could hold on to it. You know, 130 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 3: there's givers and takers. But to me, I believe in 131 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: giving back what a big, beautiful gift of life that 132 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: I was given, and to allow people to remember that 133 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 3: it is a gift to be here in this body 134 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 3: and this life. Altho were on the surface, it could 135 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: certainly feel quite the opposite during many on different points 136 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: of their own journey. 137 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: What do you remember, Jacob, in addition to what you've 138 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: just said about this near death experience, were there angels involved, 139 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: spirit guides, helpers, relatives who had passed on. 140 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: That you might know, Yes, yes, and yes absolutely. I 141 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: you know, we live with a box of reality that 142 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 3: we see as such. And you know when I had 143 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 3: my near death experience, what really most step to me 144 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: while I was experiencing it was just how much we 145 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: forget is around us at all times on this journey. 146 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 3: And when I was able to see my two spirit 147 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: guides with me during my new Gud's experiences, I call 148 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 3: them the Guides, it was a profound reunion and I 149 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: just remembered, My God, I couldn't believe that I forgot 150 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: all the beauty that was accompanying me and all of us, 151 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: all of our viewers here on this journey. And so 152 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: I know I'll say this throughout the course of our conversation, probably, 153 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: but one major takeaway that, if anything else I'd like 154 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: viewers to remember, is there is so much around us 155 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 3: at all times that maybe we may not be aware 156 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: of the physical eye at all times, but there is 157 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: so much around us. But the spirit guides to me 158 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: are there with us before we get here, go there 159 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: with us through every part of our lifetime, and they 160 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 3: are just the innermost part of ourselves as we know it. 161 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: They know everything about ourselves at our deepest core. But 162 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 3: when I saw the guides, the analogy often has is, 163 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: you know, imagine you had the most beautiful, you know, 164 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: Hollywood celebrity crush, and you just think that that person 165 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: is thousands of miles away, living in some ivory tower 166 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 3: far away from you that you can never access. Now, 167 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 3: imagine that by an infinite amount, but imagine that feeling 168 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 3: is drawn towards you. So in other words, the admiration, 169 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: the respect, the love, the infactuation, that you have with 170 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: that being, that person that is directed towards you. And 171 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: that's how our guides view us. They see us in 172 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: such a level of love and beauty that we cannot 173 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 3: ever really truly comprehend. And so the guides see us 174 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: in such a different way than many times the judgments 175 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: and the small versions that we hold of ours else. 176 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: But the angels were floating literally right in front of 177 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: me when my body was on the ground, lifeless and 178 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: irresponsive to people who went to me to the playground 179 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 3: on that day, and I just saw very young, youthful 180 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 3: angels that were floating right in front of me. I 181 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: could hear their sounds, I could see colors. But this 182 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: goes beyond anything comparative to this reality, you know, George, 183 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 3: Your death experiencers often point to the fact that we 184 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: have nothing to compare the other side to, just in 185 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: terms of a perspective of color. For instance, the colors 186 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: that we have in our realm are really colors that 187 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 3: are originated from the spectrum of the sun, and when 188 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 3: you're on the other side, you're in a different realm, 189 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: and so the colors over there aren't don't have a 190 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: limit of bandwidth from the colors of the sun, they 191 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: go further deeper, and so the colors, you know, you 192 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 3: can't described in this reality because they have such a 193 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 3: depth and beauty that go beyond anything of this reality. 194 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 3: But yes, angels are around us at all times, sending healing, 195 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: sending love, and that's what I experienced. And they had 196 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: no different than the spirit guides. The angels had no 197 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: distinct characteristics. They were very uniformal. They were just there 198 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 3: to send healing, to send love, to send protection. And 199 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: they're around us at all times, as well as my own, 200 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: as you mentioned, soul family on the other side, which 201 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 3: are members that we are connected to within this life 202 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 3: and beyond. And it's almost kind of like a theater 203 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 3: of life where we have different roles and different acts 204 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: to play, but we're connected to a similar cru set 205 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: throughout different incarnations. And that's a fascinating subject in itself, 206 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 3: but gues to all those questions. 207 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: These angels there to comfort you, Jacob. I mean, you 208 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: were just a little guy when you went down. I 209 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: would assume you were scared for a while. 210 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Georgia, it was the most What I 211 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: would say is I've never seen a bigger pendulum of 212 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: swing of emotions from you know, and I don't know 213 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: if you've experienced this there any viewers have experienced how 214 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: scary it is to lose your breath, you know, and 215 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: unless you're on a ventilator, I mean, the breath keeps 216 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: us going, and it's. 217 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: Got to be a horrible feeling. 218 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: It was beyond traumatizing. I mean, the analogy that I 219 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: often have is imagine you're drowning and there's nothing to 220 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: hold on to, and you just keep on thinking deeper 221 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: and deeper, and there's nothing you can do. And so 222 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: you know, what did I do? Instead of I was 223 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 3: struggling against this, I was resisting against this, but as 224 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: we know, with all walks of life, what we resist persist, 225 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: and so what I did was I just completely surrendered 226 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: to what was happening. I recognized I had no control, 227 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: and once I surrendered, I really was able to tap 228 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: into this ultimate power that we're all connected to, this 229 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: infinite breath, this breath that goes beyond our own human breath. 230 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,479 Speaker 3: And I've learned since you know, my own religion, Judaism, 231 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: the word for spirit is translates to ruach, which means 232 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: the wind or the breath of God and that is 233 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: our creative force. And so for viewers who are might 234 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: be struggling and certainly alcoholics anonymous you know, you know 235 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: is congruence with this, But there is a great power 236 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: of simply surrendering to the power that we all have 237 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: inside of us and to stop the struggle recognize its 238 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: surrendering is not a form of giving up, but a 239 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: form of giving in to the deep inner power and 240 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: divine spark that we all have. But yes, the angels 241 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 3: are simply there to comfort not only me, but we. 242 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: And this is certainly time that I hope to get into, 243 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: which is the me consciousness versus the we consciousness, and 244 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: different experiences in my life that have given me first 245 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: and evidential awareness that we are all not just the me, 246 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 3: but we are much connected to a much greater reality 247 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: that involves the we. 248 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: Jake up in your near death experience, do you witness 249 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: others who have had near death experiences? Are they there 250 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: next to you? 251 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: That's a great question. I've heard other near death experiencers 252 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: that have mentioned this. Uh to answer question, I didn't experience. 253 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: I didn't have any other experiences that I that I 254 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: was aware of at the moment certainly, you know, other 255 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 3: near death experiences have had a pivotal impact in my 256 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: life and has given me the strength and courage to 257 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: become public with my message. Otherwise I've been quite ostracized. 258 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: But no, I didn't. But what I did have was 259 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 3: premonitions about my near death experience. And I just remember 260 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: when I did have my near death experience, it just 261 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: felt like deja vous, as if I've seen this before, 262 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 3: and there was nothing I can do to stop what 263 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: was to come. And so I write in my book 264 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: that I had, you know, clear recollections of dreams the 265 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 3: nights before of my ende of what was to come. 266 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: But in terms of seeing the other near death experiencers 267 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: when I had my ENDE, that didn't happen. Have you 268 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: heard of such a phenomenon, George before, because I believe 269 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: I have where people have had ner death experiences and 270 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: they've seen others ye have had theirs, which is just phenomena. 271 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 3: That is phenomenon. I don't know if you know of 272 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: anyone specific, but that that's sploish my mind. 273 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast a m.
