What happens when someone who has been blind since birth suddenly describes seeing everything during a near-death experience?
Mayim Bialik, Jonathan Cohen, and Ky Dickens, host of the hit podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, explore a powerful NDE story about a woman who miraculously sees while clinically dead.
Ky shares how the woman described colors, faces, and her surroundings in vivid detail, things she had never physically seen before.
What’s also unbelievable is that her story mirrors thousands of documented near-death experiences studied by Dr. Jeffrey Long, revealing striking common themes: 360-degree vision, timeless awareness, and a sense of unconditional love that transcends physical reality.
Mayim and Jonathan connect this account to the latest consciousness research, asking profound questions like:
• Can awareness exist beyond the brain?
• What does “seeing” really mean if perception isn’t limited to our
senses?
• Why are NDEs so similar across cultures and centuries?
From ancient records to modern neuroscience, this episode dives into what these experiences reveal about the nature of life, death, and human consciousness.

Near death experience heard from many people have a correlation of being apart of a wholeness in another plain
Forgotten stories from ancient times.
Plants are alive in so many ways
What happens in an NDE is not what happens when you die for real. NDE's are designed to give you an experience, to wake you up.
the woman with the pony tail chats too much; doesn't let the guest explain the NDE well enough
What if love is basically one huge living organism and we are all a part of it kind of like a mother loving a child when your child hurts you hurt. What if we’re all bound by that we’re all one huge living breathing organism
Fun conversation, thanks! The blind woman story is hard for me to believe, because I think a blind person would be very likely to comprehend “seeing 360” since that’s how they likely perceive the world through sound already.
You are always talking about the same person, again and again on all the shows. Vicky Unapag, There are more blind people out there who have had NDE. FIND THEM!
Interesting!
Loving the video, and it gets my mind racing so much… Ever since I first saw Federico Faggin talk about his theories (on Essentia Foundation's YT channel), I feel like everything is connected. And here I am again, hearing about telepathy, NDE stories and all of that… it just makes so much sense.
I’d really love to see Federico on this channel. He connects physics and spirituality in a way that even makes sense to my skeptical mind.
I also feel like it would be such a perfect fit for a channel that wants to ask the questions that prove reality, instead of just accepting information as truth.
Anyhows, thanks for the great introduction to this subject 🙂
NDE , OBE , Astral projection (IMO) isn’t proof of an “external reality” but simply a “mental projection” and more proof of an “internal reality” . The mind is a boundless terrain were anything that can be perceived can be experienced, I feel that (IMO) we heavily undermine the power of the brain when having these experiences and immediately assume we understand them because of connections and how they make us feel emotionally I also feel we use these experiences to justify an “after life/soul” continuation if you will.. a “soul” (if I’m being honest) is nothing more than a construct humans created because we feel entitled to life we don’t know it exist we believe it does… life is all we’ve ever known we humans have yet to accept our own mortality .
I had surgery and it went well, few weeks go by and I start having urges to research NDE and that led to PBEs and down the hole I went but once I poked my head back up I understood. Birth and death are gateways, earth is a school and life n morality are the only subjects. Gods eternal as is the darkness and its our words and especially our actions that define us. Nature and universe are all created by god, the ALL Father, source or call it as you feel it ✌🏼. All things start with you and you alone. Self awareness is the beginning and once you understand that the rest starts to fall into place and you see just how your actions affect others. You understand the domino effect and how it too effects others and after a while your able to see your actions, the domino effect and the consequences all before you say a word or do a thing. It takes time and patience but you’ll understand 🖖🏼
The Indigenous peoples of North America (and probably the rest of the planet) understood this completely. They had reverence for spirit in animals and plants. Some cultures would thank the animal for giving up its life so they could eat.
I was looking forward to watching this video but had to stop after two minutes due to that womans vocal fry.
I wonder why a lot of Amercan women are doing this now? So annoying and distracting.
5:03 damn, mayim your smile is beautiful. what a beautiful brain, what a beautiful voice… phew! i know i gotta focus in what you're saying but you're too pretty… maybe I should stick to the podcast audio only 😅
I had an out of body off planet experience in 2000 (NOT an NDE, no drugs or substance, just a soccer mom!) and yes, I was basically a swirl of intelligent light particles with other light beings (same amorphous properties) and thought and communication was instant and had full vision knowing and access capacity. Needless to say I was completely lit up for weeks. Still rocking that energy through this Shift. ✨💫✨
Gilgamesh axe-m*rders the sacred Cedar Forest. Desertification is the long-term result. Since then mayhem, war, strife regionally. Yes, I can go into certain wilds and feel enmity — or at least a rushing around chaos. It just doesn't feel right, settled, at peace, niching. For example, wherever I find poison ivy it's typically a disturbed, upset place. No, I don't think we get a free lunch ticket every time.
10:04 Forgiveness and Acceptance of Abusers…why they cut it off? I want to know more about that
I as a creative person in drawing, was amazed that i can see perspective that are not logical to the eye, like 10 feet high when i am on the ground, (when i was 6 years old drawing from different perspcetive) i didnt see with my eyes, but my being and created.
Misleading title 😂 they speak about the blind persons NDE for all of 10 seconds haha
near death experiences not tied to brain activity
Flux of awareness is fascinating
You should do an episode about the gateway process. Mayim should do it herself too! Maybe talk to someone at the Monroe institute.
The blind woman story is interesting, but needs better verification.
With you Mayim – love is the universal language. Plants are living things and thus we can all communicate – St. Francis communicated with animals – Padre Pio cured a blind young girl – Gemma di Giorgi who could see from that day even though she did not have pupils.
I believe in after life experiences of our souls, I'm not buying that plants have sentience, though lol.
You should interview Dr Melvin Morse who has studied NDEs in children for decades, and also interview Gregory Shushan, PhD (referenced in this interview) as he has studied NDEs across cultures spanning thousands of years. Note that Gregory found that life review accounts were very rare in non Western cultures.
It’s unconditional love. The nature and beingnes of God/ source energy
“Collective Consciousness” is like “A Spider Web” !!!
We are the “Points of Contact”.
I actually died. Not nearly died. In the 3min dead I experienced almost ten days wherever I was and I saw a lot. I went to a concert, to a gallery, gardens, I travelled, I met people who were still alive but also dead bc as I learned time is not linear it's all at the same time. Right now somewhere in the past you are being born and your present is already tomorrows past. So where in the future you're already dead. That's your guiding voice – so fucking listening to it, when your conscience is talking. Speaking of which, you all know animals live extreme cruelty, wild or domestic, so feel your conscience. You know it's fucking wrong. Go vegan. The other side couldn't care less about religion. They give a shit about compassion. Period
Very interesting episode. Like that 80's track "Love is in the air", between the way the trees communicate, the blind woman seeing 360°, seems like all the corny songs I roll my eyes at, were right. I must be all around all the time and we're too busy giving our focus on something as wrong and manmade as money and rules. Money is the concept we live by and even kill each other over and power, control and rules, are nothing but a figment of our imagination that we live by and for. I'm happy to know there's intelligent life out there. Maybe the out there isn't even the out there in "space" as we can see in the sky, but another kind of out there, on an other realm or plane🤔 Kinda like when you're on an airplane, the sky is all grey at the airport and then you take off and the blue sky appears and the "eternal sun", the constant light that fills the cabin is suddenly all around you. That higher level one can't see nor even conceive when still on the tarmarc. See, you got me thinking 😉
Vertical turtle
Oooh it’s nice to see the beautiful face behind the voice ❤🎉. This is a terrific story. ❤
Literally everything we believe in exists. No matter how imaginative the belief compared to others… we always prove ourselves right. Or wrong, depending on how we believe 😂. I couldn’t be happier because I really wanted magic to be real my whole life. It’s still not real because it is in fact science we don’t understand yet, but still it’s magical science!
Ok y’all, you truly don’t understand the bigger picture here until you understand everything is all one thing. It is amazing once you have the experience of the connection. You personally have nothing to be mad about after that. It’s so freeing. … and it makes sense why you don’t get why there is no anger from earth and the animals until you experience it. And omg you don’t have to pay attention to politics or bad news any longer… phew. Don’t be a poop, of course I stop bad things I see happening, but I don’t worry about what’s not in my face anymore… if I can’t fix it, I don’t think about it and there is no need to.
They did a lot of experiments in the 70s 80s about plants feelings. Like all things being equal water food light, but the things that were changed were what kind of environment they were in. Like some were just taken care of and pretty much ignored . Some you would talk to you all day and encouraged to grow and others you would have in harsh conditions like where there’s a lot of yelling and and you tell it what a horrible plant it was. And it really affected the growth of the plants in ways that are pretty easy to figure out. Ignored ones were healthy and very nicely. The ones that were spoken to you and nice and her music and was talk to encouraged, grew to very big and healthy. And the ones that were in the harsh environment would look sickly and not grow correctly. It was a weird experiment.
Thank you! Much love!
Seeing 360 degrees is a common story told after an NDE?
But we eat plants?
Everything has intelligence. Even the plants and minerals. What we may see as miraculous is simply the intelligence obeying a higher law. Water? No. Wine, please. 😊
It is funny you said that Jesus had a near death experience and that is what spirit has been telling me is true.
What I find fascinating and annoying. The women can't fucking talk without moving their hands and arms
That is man in the black shirt
BBC documentary " The Day I Died " has this blind womans NDE and more medical experts testimonies on NDEs
Yikes. This lady is a proven fraud. I know schools basically hand out degrees to celebrities for nothing, but you should be ashamed of this pseudoscience bs… calling yourself a dr? Omg pathetic
You'll find all your answers in the books and teachings of Rudolf Steiner and his Anthroposophy ✨
Life after death, life review, what and who we meet on the other side, the meaning of Life and suffering, all those explained in the most finest details 😊🙏🏻
God bless the day I met Him on my Spiritual Journey!
Greetings to all of You, truth seekers 🙏🏻✨
