Our Purpose: To go from Selfishness to Selflessness
In this episode of Round Trip Death, Eric welcomes Marilynn Hughes, whose powerful NDE (Near Death Experience) forever changed her life and faith. Suffering from severe peripartum cardiomyopathy,
Marilynn slipped out of her body and entered a translucent tunnel of light where she reunited with her childhood dog and encountered Jesus in radiant form. She was shown multiple realms, a spiritual “measure” of how souls progress from selfishness to selflessness, and was given the choice to stay in the afterlife or return to her young children.
Though Jesus told her He would not heal her heart, He promised to help her—and upon awakening, doctors found her heart had unexpectedly improved, eventually leading to a complete, medically inexplicable recovery years later.
Marilynn shares what it felt like to hold Jesus’ hand—like falling into infinite, unconditional love—and explains that earth life is designed to teach selflessness through real experiences, relationships, challenges, and even suffering.
She offers a message of hope: that each of us can help change the world not by controlling others, but by transforming ourselves and choosing to interact with life from a higher, more loving place. No longer fearing death, Marilyn looks forward to the profound love she once experienced and assures listeners that this love awaits us all.

Good interview
Wow, thanks so much for sharing your experience! I really enjoyed listening to your story! This is one of the best and useful NDE stories I have ever heard.
Was she a Christian before NDE?!
Good one ❤️🔥
Did she say she had had her dog for 25 years? 25? Can anybody please explain?
Enjoyed this interview very much! However I feel there are so many variables pertaining to why humans have chosen to be here. There may have been a prebirth choice, for example, to be the murderer of someone, who also agreed to be murdered, in order to help another person learn forgiveness. Examples of this concept can go on and on, and will require a higher level of understanding. There may be a purpose for a very selfish person, that he or she agreed to become prebirth, so he could actually help others to notice and appreciate, that non-selfishness is the path to take. Thanks!❤
Wow! She was amazing. You should sharpen your interview skills. The way you come at her when she talks about purification is almost insulting. Here she is sharing this great divine wisdom and you essentially tell her stop-it's too much- over your head- give us more practical stuff. That was hard to watch. Let people talk. Watch Jeff Mara for tips. He knows exactly what to do and doesn't put people off. I'm not saying you did it intentionally. I know you didn't- but it still happened.
Is Rula a spiritual therapy? Do they deal with past life regression also? Thank you for the great interview and great experience.
Great guest, great wisdom 🙏 God bless ❤
I really enjoyed this and enjoyed your interview questions. Very helpful to understand fully her experience. Thank you both for bringing this to us. ❤
It's unusual to hear about an NDEer becoming religious afterward. Most of them say they left religion for spirituality. Thanks for sharing.
AMEN!
Marilynn, Your tesimony was wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing your experience with Jesus. I love Jesus so much and love to hear about how loving and beautiful he is.
It gives me so much hope that I will see him someday. I pray I am blessed to see him the second I take my last breath . I pray he will be waiting.
Sweet!
❤ thank you.
Marilynn, that was wonderful! Thank you so much. That was a very helpful reminder. I wish we all lived the golden rule … Do unto others as we would have them do unto us. That would be a good start. Sadly, that is certainly not happening in today's world though.
NO! You need to turn from being Catholic! Look up Justin Peters here on youtube and what he explains in his whole sermon in a friends church recently about it! He will explain fully why the Catholic Church is a false church! Your soul is too important not to…please Marilynn!
Beautiful soul, beautiful recount, LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY THAT TIES EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE, EARTH IS DIFFICULT, BUT A GOOD TEACHING.. AND SPREAD THE JOY YOU HAVE.. SHUN HATE , ITS INFECTIOUS.. PARTICULARLY IN THESE POLITICAL SEPARATING DAYS.. LOVE TO ALL. AMEN .
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have listened to many and this is one of the best. First time I have heard the selfishness to selflessness angle. I totally get that.
I though having an nde would make you not care about money, guess i was wrong.
I’m left with comparing
9:15–10:41
to: 37:56—38:28.
Thank you.
So GLAD JESUS HELPED YOU !
Eric, please could you invite Marilynn back to tell us about her other out of body experiences? like when she was in the other tunnels, in hell, how she got there and moved between them all and how much of a background she had in mystical theology when she met Jesus. How did she know to ask Jesus to spare a soul so as not to suffer a heart transplant AND raise her children? It's so spiritually advanced. Did she have a strong background in theology before the experience? Thank you so very much Marilynn! ✝
Thank you for sharing.
The ego acts as a necessary center for the gathering of a wide variety of experiences that develops consciousness. It also has biological instincts to ensure its survival. Once consciousness is fully developed, the ego becomes an impediment to the experience and expression of its true nature as Infinite Consciousness aka ''God'' or Unconditional Love. The ''fetters'' to the realization of our true nature as Unconditional Love, are all the inclinations of the ego mind which holds itself as a separate individual acting on survival instincts or self-interest. To overcome these egoic impediments or limitations, their opposite must be cultivated i.e. selfishness becoming more and more selfless, love over hatred, tolerance over intolerance, forgiveness over no forgiveness, etc., etc. It's not easy and therefore people often prefer ''karmic looping'' until they're ready to step up to the plate and fulfill their life's actual purpose. It is the most challenging game you will ever be involved in. The good news is that you will eventually win after many lifetimes. It is a fact that all saints begin as so-called ''sinners''. Reincarnation is the process of purification as one learns their lessons which are all based on love becoming more and more unconditional. 😇
