In this episode, Guy interviewed John Burke, a former pastor and author who has spent the last 40 years studying near-death experiences (NDEs). John shared his journey from being an agnostic engineer to becoming a spiritual seeker and researcher who has interviewed over 1,500 people about their NDEs. The conversation covered various aspects of NDEs, including their common elements, the evidence supporting them, and how they often lead to profound life changes. John discussed the beauty and purpose of life, the idea of God, and the transformative power of love. He also touches upon the experiences of those who have had hellish NDEs and how these experiences often lead to spiritual awakening. The episode was a deep dive into the mysteries of life, death, and the possibility of an afterlife, aimed at helping listeners understand the spiritual dimensions of existence.

Maybe this will help! God the real God is not the God of the Bible!

The Temple Tax
24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”
25 “Yes, he does,” he replied.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?”
26 “From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
The Miracle that only God could do^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ verse 27 impossible supernatural
John 14:6
New International Version
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 3:16
New International Version
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 1
New International Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
If the brain is dead when people have NDE experiences such as seeing the operating room, and they remember the experiences after they return to their bodies, this PROVES that memories are not stored in the brain!
I had an NDE in 1966. Left my body, saw the light, no language can fully describe it. You either know and believe, or you don't. No one else can convenience you. I was 27 then and am almost 88 now. My life has been amazing, and I have never forgotten this experience. I felt there is no such thing as space or time only "now". I am a white woman from Florida, USA and do not fear the future.
The gov said, we are just containers…we have souls. thats what Jesus came here for.
How can God love Hitler, Idi Amin, the IRGC in Iran and on and on?
You don’t need a NDE to experience Love.
NDE's don't make sense because they're all liars. None of the NDE's make any sense, predictions are all wrong, they never bring back useful knowledge like how quantum gravity works, you'd think if you saw how everything works you'd remember something from it, it's hypoxia and perhaps BPD compulsive lying. Nobody has created a real benovolent immortality.
It is all so nice and lovely. Free will in this place and Love in this place is questionable. To be exact 46:11
Yes that is the troubling part of love. Love must respect the the free will of the other, even if you're God.
Yet here in this place this is not the case for so many whose free will has been taken away in favor to those who enjoy all the darkness that is possible here.
What kind of "Love" respects and lets the free will of p*,r*.k*,m* … and deny the free will of all who do not want to be a*,r*, …
What kind of love does not protect, does not help, just sits there and let's it happen over and over again.
Something is very wrong with this place. Even if it is all just a dream or a game or illusion. When you are in here it is just too cruel.
To not even know if this is real or not. To not even know did you chose this or not. To not even know for sure anything is real anywhere.
If there is actually any free will here. There should be very clear with no doubt option at any time to exit this place for any reason.
With 100% clear knowing I am not going from bad to a lot worse. Or here we go … we are back here in this "reality"…
George Harrison said it best in his song. Life goes on within you and without you. Check it out.
Still no proof, just hot air coming from yours and their mouths. Go talk about Bigfoot, same difference.
I am an ex Christian and this still has all the problems that actually started my deconstruction. Why would a god that loves us more than we can imagine create hell? Why would him respecting our free will not to love it be met with worse suffering than we can imagine here? It doesn't make sense. He is not giving free will, he is coercing, which literally isn't free will. If hell is lack of god then that also makes god finite because that is a place where god isn't.
Isn't it nice how Buke smiles and grins when he sites people GOING TO HELL!!
If you are saying that "hell" is a real place and not a creation of man then all I can say to that is do more studying. God as we call it is real but hell is a creation of man, as it is with some (if not a lot) of the writings of man. The information can be found if one isn't afraid to look for it. Peace and Love to you and yours

There’s definitely something after this life, I was in a bad accident about 25 years ago and when I regained consciousness in the back of the ambulance, I was definitely coming back to this reality from somewhere different.
I don’t have a lot of memories of what it was like in this different place but when I had to leave it was like leaving the most comfortable feeling you ever felt behind; and for the next 2 weeks I longed for that feeling just like a bad addiction, I actually missed the place I was in and felt real anxiety because I couldn’t go back.
I'm in Ferrelview Missouri. U.s.a.
Watching from New Haven Connecticut
A lot of people turn against Christianity or church or religion after their NDE (as I have also watched at least 1500 myself and had one myself) but I think we should be kinder to ourselves about that because yes, religion isnt always right and often hardly right at all…but in this present awareness of life, religion is the "tool" that people subscribe to in orsder to learn about God and their relationship to "It" . Religion is proof that so many people are continually searching for spirituality. SOME people use it as an excuse to be hateful and cruel to others who believe differently…but that is not most people.
He lost me at "Jesus". He says he's travelled the world talking with people of all ethnicities and religions, but no it's all Jesus which is strange because that is not what they say. Just another Bible bashing bullshitter.
You should read "The Divine Principle" by Sun Myung Moon……. because he clearly explains the origin of evil and how to change yourself into becoming a child of God…….
The 360 vision convinces me that we are just accessing a higher dimension and that that higher dimension isn't 'out there'. It's just a direction we can't access from our physical bodies, like a 2D creature can't point up but up is all around them, but if they could access it they could see from every perspective at once.
I have been under anesthesia several times in my life and I don't have any memory of being under. I haven't seen any spirits or anyone who has died come back in an animated state. I wonder why?
Wonderful testimony ❤
Why do some people end up in hell permanently? Some people have NDE's where they are told it's heaven or hell depending on your life choices and actions and beliefs. It confuses me. I'd like to think we are all still given grace even at the very end of our lives.
Clinical death does not exist the way they taught us and religions cause serious brain damage.
What an awsome interview.
I really like this guy, John Burke, and I 100% agree with him that Yeshua is very special and unique, and perhaps the chief or primary intercessor for the souls on this planet. That said, I make a distinction between that and Christianity with its beliefs in original sin and eternal hell, and I distinguish both of those from Christian Nationalism. I’m getting a bit of a “one way Jesus” vibe from him, and I think there are other ways of believing while taking on the being of the Christ. I encourage Buddhists, Hindus, and agnostics to explore this spirit who was Yeshua/Jesus, and I do not tell them that their cultural expressions of the divine are wrong or need to be abandoned in order to recognize Yeshua as a friend and master. I’m sure many Christians will disagree. Very well. It’s just been my experience that most NDE stories, including and especially those where Yeshua appears, usually have at least one, if not five, distinct disagreements with mainstream Christianity. Be it reincarnation, or hellish realms not being eternal, etc. I hope this message helps people.
My favourite reading used to be bestsellers .. spy novels.
Then i got my hands on the bible.
Since then .. i hv not touched any other reading material !
WARNING: God left us a Book and will NOT give anyone extra-biblical information now that it’s complete! But SATAN will!
These experiences happen to only those that have not completely trusted Christ, as we are all born possessed by ancestral/family demons. Demons are able to use a communication relay system between themselves to make it appear to the victim that they are seeing images miles away when it’s their demons projecting images upon their minds.
Place your faith in Jesus Christ and what he accomplished at Calvary for YOU completely and your demons will be evicted by the Holy Spirit coming in to indwell and seal you for the coming kingdom: Ephesians 4:30, Colossians 1:13 KJV.
YO, people! If these experiences are really from God, then those of us that aren’t given one can use that oversight in our defense in the Judgment! Those that received one were given UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!
And that’s why the Bible is humanity’s ONLY point of contact with God today. Because the Bible is universally available, it levels the playing field!
it is not a phenomenon at all, multidimensionality that is how this works, body = hardware, ego = local os, soul = cloudaccount (persistent, that is where the self resides), multiple incarnations over time
34 MINUTES IN. HE does not talk about Jesus being the savior or sin, which separates us from God. There is one way to God and that is through Jesus. No other way. For being a pastor for 26 years this makes me think you are a false teacher who will lead many away from God in warm fluffy blankets to HELL. People read Gods word and follow Jesus according to his words. Behold then the kindness and severity of God. To those who fell severity, but to YOU Gods kindness. IF you remain in his kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. He is talking about a branch being grafted into Christ do not follow any man Follow Jesus who was and is GOD.

If you want a real proof Jesus has risen, go ahead and check out Shroud of Turin. It's the proof of his death, burial and resurrection all at once. His burial cloth is still present today!! ❤❤ Thank you Jesus!! I was a believer before discovering the shroud, but this is pure God's mercy…to leave the proof so strong, for the unbelievers and those who want to make their faith even ever so stronger❤❤
Schon wieder ein Julian aus Deutschland. Du hast einen Namensvetter in Deutschland welcher ebenfalls erleuchtet ist und der Bruder von Jesus Christus, der auch hier auf YT rumlungert.
Don't stick your head in the sand regarding Jesus Christ. What does it profit you to gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Opiates surely play a part in some cases, I was in hospital, and thought I was visiting other wards saying hello to some patients, it was so real I asked the ward nurses if I got out of bed, they said no you've been fast asleep all night.
The new show Pluribus on apple TV shows exactly what everyone being connected in a hive like state would look like.
🤍 LENA! girl, thank you for being so transparent and honest about your experience. i am so happy that your circumstances have given you the ability to care for your mom the way she deserves! i have also thought a lot about the “fruit” mentioned in the bible. before reading the verses myself, i thought that fruit implied money or success. i was convinced that i must not be growing or improving because i didn’t see financial or career growth. i also started reading the bible this year and finally discovered what God actually means by fruit. it was so reassuring. i am sending love and prayers to you all as you navigate this new reality together. more blessings are already on their way to you!
Wow that’s a lot of research, I’m somewhat surprised you haven’t looked into the reincarnation trap. It’s scary and depressing but likely reality. And you can’t liberate yourself without knowledge.
The family was standing next to the hospital bed of a woman who just passed away, saying "At least she's out of pain now." Meanwhile, just beneath the floor below the bed, demons were torturing her in the afterlife.

John Burke bears a striking resembling to the actor Jim Caviezel who played the role of Christ in The Passion of the Christ.
