Biblical annotations can help make translated scripture understandable, and an IANDS Journal article by Marco Condorelli, PhD, points to the English Geneva Bible’s annotations from 1602 as speaking NDE. Could the annotator himself have had an NDE?

On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Gloria Crystal "Teddy" Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her beautiful voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances Key, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state.

They have astounded friends, family and a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, wit, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the human experience.

New Testament gospel scripture tells us less about the Other Side than many NDEs. Did Jesus not tell his disciples about Heaven, or were his stories of life reviews, mystic gardens, universal knowledge and the profound light of love get edited out when the Bible was assembled? In this encore discussion with James Bean, we explore other texts.

For most NDErs, a life review suffices to get things back on track in their lives. For others, a distressing NDE is a major gift – and a reminder of the Beatles song, The End: And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

Geo. Washington’s vision at Valley Forge – when an angel reportedly showed him the wars to come on American soil – includes a second Civil War to save our democratic Union. Historians debate it, but a clue that the prophecy did take place is heard in Washington’s Farewell Address, where he focused on a coming struggle to preserve democracy. This show first aired on July 4, 2021. How are we doing?

Erica McKenzie, RN’s profound NDE tells of God’s love for us, and God’s sadness when our free will leaves the world in flames. Erica’s reluctant return ended in a diagnosis based on her NDE by an atheist doctor, who had her committed on heavy medications.

Spiritually Transformative Experiences are increasingly common these days. On that first Pentecost, Peter said, “In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young people shall see visions, and your old people shall dream dreams.”

NDErs who visit the Other Side return with stories of pure love – but early traditions tell of a maternal love from God that Jesus promised would be here for us on earth whenever we seek her.

A literally heart-pounding event brought Barbara Bartolome back to her body, and her eventual discovery of an icy, forgotten NDE at 18 months of age. Barbara learned much from both experiences, and has provided that enlightenment to thousands of others over the years.

Though rebirth may seem more fragile this year, the power of resurrection is unstoppable, both in spirit and in nature. Both are ‘of God’ – the word for it is ‘Dei’ in Latin, as in Agnus Dei, the Lamb of God. DEI also says Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – for genders, races, and ultimately for all us creatures, great and small. It’s not a competition for resurrection, as NDErs know, but a common goal.

A despairing woman suicides, and Jesus saves her; a child goes into a golden light and meets Jesus the Shepherd; a woman in chronic pain experiences golden, pain-free light, but returns down a ladder to her life.
