Life, Death & The Space Between
What do Near-Death Experiences Teach Us?
In this episode, I discuss near-death experiences (NDEs) with Douglas Hodgson, who has examined over 500 NDE stories. Douglas highlights common elements like soul awareness, divine connection, and the role of unconditional love, noting their life-altering insights into the soul's immortality and our universal bond. We cover reincarnation, life reviews, and gaining spiritual knowledge, with Douglas underscoring the life review's non-judgmental aspect and the impact of simple kindnesses. We conclude that being open to change fosters personal growth and the influx of positive energy. I thank Douglas and encourage listeners to continue delving into these deep topics with the podcast.
