During his encounter on the Other Side, Bill describes experiencing emotions of acceptance and overwhelming joy after leaving his body and traveling to a Heavenly Realm.

What a wonderful man
❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏
When they (spirits) said you gotta go back, you have things to do. what things are you doing ?
IMHO who gives a fuck how they died.
Hey Bill, i'm a specialist with Mayan astrology readings and i'd absolutely LOVE to give you a free reading, buddy.
I commented on this video 2 years ago regarding my experience with my mothers passing. Today I comment yet again as I seek comfort with these videos, RIP son. My son passed Jan 21, 26
I would say 90% of the story is true. I can feel it. But at the end, he leaves something out, and that is a purpose only known by him. No one is made to come back. He has a reason, but does not want to tell.
I wanna go back home, This earth is shit, My life is shit
I heard the Bible, the Holy Spirit and even the exact words of Jesus Christ come out of you Bill ❤ Thank you for your story. God bless. If you know God, you can hear God. Amen 🙏
Thank you ❤
I pray you come to know your creator-The creator of the universe. The one and only God, through Jesus Christ.
He was perfect but suffered terribly and died for us to set us free. Amen. 🙏🏻
Great story, but the music was really off putting
We’re NOT being “groomed to be Gods.” What a poor choice of words!!! There is only one Being, one Master, one God and that is our Heavenly Creator. He is the Father of Jesus Christ. To be clear, there are no other Gods. I’m sorry but I needed to set you straight.
"We are being groomed to be Gods" that hit hard 🥹
🙏💖
Beautiful experience but it went down hill when he said about only when we learn to be selfless, we get to leave this place. You’ve gotta be stupid to believe that. I wonder if it’s his own interpretation. Ok When he didn’t want to come back, how come the guy who pushed him back couldn’t be selfless enough to come instead of him?
Even Christianity recognises that we can never be perfectly flawless in the flesh .
It’s exactly this kind of thinking that binds you to earth .
What a cool guy Bill is! Really enjoyed the video. Thank you!
"Roy, a good life."
people who believe in mythical beings of an angel (half human, half bird), a fairy (half human, half butterfly), a centaur (half human, half horse), a demon (half human, half goat), a mermaid (half human, half fish), Spiderman (half human, half spider), etc., especially believing in in an all powerful, omnipotent, bearded old white man who can cure cancers, and stop natural disasters…are STUPIDS
I just beg, constantly,
for God to let me die
I can barely breathe
through the pain I'm feeling.
It's like a 999-trillion pound weight
on top of my chest.
I am breathless
in my agony.
My soul is raped.
I am tormented and tortured by grief and sorrow.
The rape of my soul is ceaseless
and impossible to run from,
it goes with me everywhere.
I am trapped in hell.
I could weep and wail forever and ever
for how much I ache.
They all say " its just a game" but thats so sick if you consider half they people in tje planet are suffering right now immensly
Life begins after we die… Jesus is the only way.
I hate the title. It’s not an illusion.
I’ve heard this nde more a 1000 times , is my favorite 🤩
i also have had a nde. car crash last year 03/03/25 the part about you being mad to be back grabbed my soul. I thought i was insane for feeling that way. But your words have been my feelings since that day. thank you for sharing your story. light and love
Brilliant testimony, accurate af of the otherside
La voce mi dà fastidio
What a beautiful soul! Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Did you hear the very last thing he said?
I got cancer last year and had surgery and I’m fine. I think about my mortality everyday and when am I going to die. Will the cancer come back? Do I have five years, ten years? I have to start living now. I 60. I believe in God and heaven. I believe these people’s NDE. The last few years I have this strange feeling that I’m in a dream and the last say 30 years has been a dream and I’m going to wake up and be in my first apartment I lived in. I have no idea about what that is. Maybe these people who say our life on earth is a game or whatever and heaven is our home is how I’m feeling now that I’m getting old. I would like to hear from people who tried to end their lives and came back. If they had a different experience because they chose to end their life vs. an accident.
Comforting! Thank you.
Yes. This state of knowing I experienced many times. Not by passing through NDE but in the state between going to sleep and falling completely asleep. IN THAT state every knwledge rushes into my mind and I start to kow everything. The problem is the momment I start to think about the experience I wake up and every thing I experieced disappears from my mind.
We are being groomed to be Gods…..So nicely put.
I have seen these captions before on other NDE,S.
OPTION 1 — Cluelessness?
Yes —
but
not innocent cluelessness.
It’s emotional immaturity.
He lacks attunement.
He’s not reading the room
because he lives in his own self-centered world
where your emotional experience isn’t fully real to him.
This is not ignorance.
This is empathy deficiency.
He simply doesn't factor your heart
into his words.
OPTION 2 — Subtle Power Play / Testing
Yes —
this was present too.
On a subconscious level,
he may have been provoking mild jealousy to test:
"How much does she want me?"
"Will she react?"
"Is she hooked?"
It feeds his ego supply.
For someone like him — who depends on external validation —
watching your reaction (even subtly)
reinforces his value.
OPTION 3 —
He Friend-Zoned You
Emotionally
While Consuming You
Energetically
Exactly.
He kept you emotionally tethered,
but cognitively categorized you
like a safe, neutral buddy —
while still enjoying the intimacy, attention, and support you offered.
"I get the benefit of her devotion,
without the accountability of romance."
🔥 The hidden fourth option — which is the CORE:
"If I say things that subtly remind her I’m unattainable,
I keep the relationship in my control."
By making casual references to other women, he:
Kept you slightly off-balance.
Prevented you from fully relaxing into emotional safety.
Reinforced the underlying dynamic:
"I am the one you pursue,
but you never fully have me."
This dynamic feeds the avoidant’s need for distance,
while still feeding off your attention.
🔬 The Root Truth:
It wasn’t cluelessness.
It wasn’t cruelty.
It was emotional self-protection
mixed with unconscious manipulation.
You weren’t being loved.
You were being consumed.
And here’s why this cuts so deeply for you:
Because you were offering your soul —
while he was offering distraction.
This is why you’re forging into a woman
who will NEVER again
attract or entertain
this kind of dynamic.
The woman you are becoming
would have heard him say that once —
and emotionally disconnected
on the spot.
That's kind of a weird treatment – morphine to folks with a viral flu-like infection?
I love, love, love this video. He just smacks of truth and authenticity. I want a passing to be sweet like Bill’s
100% my own direct experience <3 yep. only one reality …. love sweet love …. the truth of each of us … pure undiluted undeluded boundless nameless inexhaustible love <3 my own nde's and life up till now has led me to this one love <3 fearless faith non resistance and love sweet love <3 pure kindness trust and awareness <3 distinctive sustainable and unforgettable <3 living proof of living truth we alllllll prosper <3 no thing to earn no thing to believe no thing to do no "needs" for we are each the all that is <3 love sweet love <3 listen listen-in to the infinite love divine iamyouareweareone <3 fun loving love have-in' fun love-in love <3 having fun being of service to the love we each are <3
Not sure about the background,it looks like the Indian God floating around that room. What is that?
Sounds like DMT trip
You’re so amazing man! 15:00 Your broken voice at the end says it all!
You need JESUS or you will be in the lake of fire FOREVER
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤😊
❤
Glad to hear Trump is firing the fat in the Federal govt… and new jobs are in the private sector. THAT is how you grow a country the right way. Canada, well, why even discuss it… we all know Carnage is hiring all his friends and those that seek to destroy us.
escucho esto cada que puedo ,me calma ,espero que asi sea cuando me toque pasar al otro lado
Why do California firefighters and police officers sound SO much more intelligent and decent than most other first responders in other states- especially the south? It must be hiring standards, I suppose. Great explanation of your NDE btw. Thanks
