East Chicago firefighter and union president, Lupe Rodriguez, hit rock bottom after a career-ending injury, his dad’s death, and 11 days of alcohol and pills. On the night he finally surrendered and begged God for help, Lupe left his body, stepped into a blinding light, saw massive guardian beings, and was visited by his late his father. He was sent back with a miraculous healing—and his addiction was instantly gone.
In this near-death experience (NDE) interview, Lupe shares how that night changed everything: seeing auras, feeling the energy of trees and people and waking up to the spiritual frequency behind all of life. He opens up about losing friends, feeling alone, and learning to live with one foot in this world and one in the next—while carrying a clear message: “it’s all real.”

If it's all unconditional love on the other side then why would Angels need to have armor?
I love you guys but can I speak up for the animals we bring into life only to imprison them, not give them the freedom to be the natural, connected, loving free beings they truly are. They form bonds with their family and everything we put them through is nothing less that absolute cruelty and he’ll only to be treated like a product not a living being with a soul!!! Please watch the documentary Dominion. If we can recognize trees are connected to us how can we not recognize animals are the same as us with a will to live and souls. I went vegan 18 years ago and eating plants give me so much energy and all the nutrients I need (more than the average standard American diet). There are so many people living and thriving as vegan, plant based eaters. Please consider not participating in the cruelty. Turkeys and chickens absolutely living beings, love to be pet, purr, form bonds with other animals around them. Go visit a farm animal sanctuary near you and spend time with animals that have been rescued. It will change your life. 💚. Thank you for sharing these NDEs. I had a session with Vinney a couple years ago. He is a special person.
Wow, this testimony and subsequent interview is amazing, uplifting, enlightening and encouraging. Thank you! ❤
AI fake Christian fascist propaganda for the ignorant masses.
Are you guys believers in Jesus??
I want to send Love to all…
Your brave & beautiful ❤
Gorgeous. Thank you. ❤
I have had a similar experience with red meat and pork. ❤
I love this man! He is so humble and genuine ❤🎉
So… death is wonderful living so difficult…then dying is much better than.living. thanks for the advice.
Grazie ❤
Jesus is the way truth and life. Dig into his word, stay away from new age stuff. Also Satan is clothed in light, he will deceive you. Seek first the kingdom of God.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:23-24).
My mum bought me watch and it only works like birthdays Easter Christmas 🎄 ❤🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤ as she passed 10years .
This is a beautiful conversation with sincere souls sharing their awakenings. Thank you so much! Please search Bhakti Lata bija. This is the seed of devotion planted in the heart. See how we water it. Kindly read Srila Prabhupada's books. Jesus sent me to his books when I had my awakening many years ago. It was also good to hear how you are being guided on the consciousness of all souls. Even in the Bible it says to slew an ox is as if to slew a man." I was guided immediately to give up eating all meat. Though birds and fish may not have as much feeling when being killed. There is food designated for humans and food designated for each species. the Bible tells all of this also. The Srimad Bhagavatam goes into extreme details on all of this. Wishing you all the greatest good and highest joy eternally. Hari bol!
Just remember these lunatics had a near-death experience but they never really died.
So why don't we have an nde parade somewhere in the United States to bring awareness to people….
The Lord delivered me from alcohol and drugs in 2019 after 20 years of bondage. He is so merciful. If you are struggling, just keep praying for his mercy. He is faithful.
Loved this story ❤ thank you for sharing it.
Chickens deserve to be loved, too. They are so sweet… We rescue them since years🙏🐔💞
WHEN I ASKED GOD TO HELP ME BECOME MORE OF A BELIEVER, I TRY TO GET HIM TO SOMEHOW LET ME OBTAIN IF WE'VE SPOKEN TOGETHER. I JUST DON'T FEEL HE'S HE'S SHOWING HIMSELF
Im reaching out l need a job for a few hours a week in calgary alberta .Government is forcing aish people to work … is someone want to open up a pod cast be a creator l have ideas but money is limited . There's a lot of teenage girls and boys out there who are suffering with a lot of anxiety and panic attacks which i've had for fifty years i started finding out that the medication isn't. What's gonna help solve these issues? It was when COVID came out. And I got really sick and realized that our inner filing cabinets keep bringing up old stories, which aren't true. But make you believe that they are also when you're that dysregulated you don't know that you're supposed to work on certain kinds of practices to release the body's energy and get healthier, whether you want to call it God and I believe in God. But there is a way to release the anxieties and death depression through certain practices and acceptance. There's a few things that can show on YouTube. But I'm looking for someone who wants to create something with a passion of either changing people's lives to know that they are safe. If the body and the mind is not safe. This is why we have anxiety and panic. Also I would love to do podcasts like this or just work behind the scenes. I ami'm in fear, and I know that this fear causes me to be unsafe, which causes more dysregulation in the body. Which then causes more anxiety and depression. Please reach out if you would like to create something together. I have some knowledge and some learnings.But I don't want to be left behind where I was weeks away from being left on the street alone.
When he mentioned chakras, hematite and meditation, I’m out. That is New Age garbage.

I need to find a local IANS group!
Hi Lupe, thank you for sharing your experience, I listen to your NDE yesterday and i was surprised about the similarity to mine, specially about the drinking.
I know exactly what is like to have that spit erased from you, is very weird because you remember that you used to drink but is not really in your memory so you cannot recollect what it was like, is definitely very weird
So I wish you well my friend and many blessings
I want to thank you guys for starting this podcast
I’m an NDEr and is great to have more people sharing our experiences, it seems that IANDS Conference is different from the IANDS meetings, i was part of an IANDS meeting here in South Florida for more than a year and I had to stop going, there was nothing for as NDErs in this meetings, great people but the subject was never about the NDE experiences, i was very disappointed with the lack of interested in the subject, to the point that I never share my NDE directly with the group, instead I asked them to watch my video and I can answer questions if they had any, but there wasn’t much interest , it was more about ETs and demons and things that I had no meaning to me.
But I guess is different in other places, but anyway, I want to thank you all and wish you a great success.
I wish you all well and many blessings
Thank you for sharing your story. I have not had an NDE but the LGL community is so meaningful to me. I am on my own journey to connect on a deeper level. Your candor and authentic nature is so uplifting! ❤
"NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE DECEPTION ABOUT SALVATION? THERE IS NO SUCH THING COMING BACK TO LIFE AFTER DEATH. WE ONLY DIE ONCE THEN AFTER THAT JUDGEMENT."
Hebrews 9:27-28
(King James Version)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:8
(King James Version)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
WHEN THE BIBLE SAID GOD DID APPOINTED MAN HIS DEATH AND WILL BE JUDGED AFTER THAT, THEN IT'S TRUE, GOD WILL NEVER LIE. HE IS NOT THE GOD OF CONFUSION. WHO IS THE GOD OF CONFUSION? SATAN IS THAT GUY.
1 Corinthians 14:33
(King James Version)
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Numbers 23:19
(King James Version)
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Hebrews 6:18
(King James Version)
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Titus 1:2
(King James Version)
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE OF THE SCRIPTURES THAT VALIDATED THAT THERE'S NO COMING BACK TO LIFE AFTER DEATH, GOD DOES NOT ALLOWED IT:
Luke 16:19-31
(King James Version)
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
DECEPTION OF SATAN: People who claimed that they died and went to Hell and came out from Hell and got up to Heaven is false. This is not a Island hopping. The truth is if you are lost person automatically will drop down to Hell when you died, and if you are saved person you automatically goes up to Heaven when you died. Let say, how can if a saved person(Which is sealed with the Holy Spirit) goes to Hell?, and also how can a lost person(Without the Holy Spirit) goes up to heaven after death?, this does not jive with the Holy Scriptures.
SAVED PERSON CANNOT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO GO DOWN IN HELL AFTER DEATH, BECAUSE IF IT IS POSSIBLE THEN THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT ARE SEALED WITH HIM GOES WITH HIM ALSO IN HELL. THE SCRIPTURES PROVES THAT THIS "NDE" ARE FALSE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION.
Ephesians 1:13-14
(King James Version)
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 4:30
(King James Version)
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Jesus Christ IS NOT GOD OF THE DEAD BUT OF THE LIVING. WHY NDE BELIEVED THAT JESUS TOUR THEM TO HELL, AND HEAVEN. THE BIBLE CLEARLY SAID HE IS GOD OF THE LIVING. SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR CLAIMED.
Matthew 22:32
(King James Version)
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
SINCE SATAN IS CALLED THE PRINCE OF THE AIR, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT HE CAN MANIPULATE OR CREATE OR SIMULATE VR(Virtual Reality) THE LIKENESS OF HEAVEN AND HELL.
Ephesians 2:2-4
(King James Version)
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Ephesians 6:12
(King James Version)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
(King James Version)
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Matthew 7:15
(King James Version)
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
1 Timothy 4:1
(King James Version)
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Isaiah 14:12-14
(King James Version)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Luke 10:18
(King James Version)
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
THE FACT THAT THIS NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE TESTIMONY'S ABOUT SALVATION IS MORE ABOUT WORKS SALVATION IS QUESTIONABLE. THEY NEVER MENTION ABOUT THE BLOOD ATONEMENT(THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST) WAY OF SALVATION, THIS IS A RED FLAG. OUR SALVATION IS ONLY BASED ON GRACE THROUGH FAITH ON "HOW" Jesus Christ DID THE SAVING. BY UNDERSTANDING THAT He SHED HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS, He DIED, WAS BURIED AND ON THE THIRD DAY He ROSE AGAIN ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. OTHER WAY OF SALVATION OUTSIDE OF THIS IS USELESS AND IT'S ACCURSED.
Galatians 1:8-9
(King James Version)
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
"THE TRUE WAY OF SALVATION ACCORDING TO NEW TESTAMENT IS ONLY THROUGH "THE GOSPEL" OF PAUL, THE GENTILES APOSTLE."
Romans 11:13
(King James Version)
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 2:15-16
(King James Version)
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
"OUR SALVATION, THE GOSPEL, BELIEVED OR TRUST THIS WITH YOUR HEART ALONE, INSTANTLY YOU'RE SAVED"
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
(King James Version)
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
