I write to validate Jonathan's account of being on the outside edge of the afterlife from a scientific research perspective and to use this opportunity to teach–which is what I was sent back here from the afterlife to do. While I was in the afterlife the first time (of 3), I was given huge downloads of information directly from Source/God's mind. One of those downloads of Knowings informed me that what we call the NDE is actually a series of events in a process Source designed to ease souls out of incarnation and back home to spiritual life. That process is: (1) getting out of body, (2) "crossing" from incarnation to the afterlife, including entering a void or traveling the universe, (3) going into the threshold of the afterlife and seeing deceased relatives, Light Beings, earthly scenery and having a life review, and (4) having other experiences deeper in the afterlife and ultimately being reabsorbed into the core phenomenon I call Source and most call God/Allah etc. The soul of a dead body can experience and return from any one of these steps in the process, yet we call them all NDEs as though they were equal events. They are not. (See my channel videos labeled Stage 1 to Stage 4 for more information.)
Using Source’s classification system, Jonathan had a level 3 experience, what I call a "threshold afterlife experience,” which is what a soul experiences on the very edge or beginning of the afterlife. Threshold afterlife experiencers often manifest temporary Earth-like scenery to comfort themselves. A few threshold afterlife experiencers encounter a religious figure. Jonathan is careful not to call the being he encountered "Jesus", though he does in some interviews. Threshold afterlife experiencers manifest these figures because they expect to see them based on their human beliefs. Manifesting creates whatever the soul truly and deeply believes. Most of the religious figures manifested in the afterlife are from childhood beliefs. Jonathan was raised as a Catholic.
Jonathan seems to believe he is the reincarnation of Jesus, even changing his appearance to mimic artists’ rendering of him. Based on my experiences and research, the figure Jonathan saw who says "I am you and you are me," is not Jesus but just the part of Jonathan's own soul that remained in the afterlife during the current incarnation. It held the other life memories Jonathan couldn’t remember during his current incarnation. (The same thing happened to me.) Several of my "33 Souls Who Met God" research subjects confirm that only part of us incarnates and the rest stays in the afterlife. Every other account I’ve studied where the NDEr sees past lives says they are flooded with these memories and feel like they are reliving them. Jonathan doesn’t.
Jonathan received the typical limited Knowings that souls get at the threshold of the afterlife, what they call being all-knowing because they have no idea how much is missing. He also experienced the typical oneness with the Light, which some mistake for merger into God. The oneness experience is nothing like being reintegrated with the Source/God. Jonathan specifically denies having an expanded afterlife experience (level 4), which is where we do merge fully into Source and reawaken and realize we are Source, not just a piece of it, like I did.
Here are my qualifications for making this comment so you can decide for yourself how much weight to give it: My academic background is college degrees in chemistry, biology, and psychology, and a doctorate degree in jurisprudence, all of which trained me to do research. I have been a scientific NDE researcher for 32 years, have reviewed thousands of NDE accounts, have categorized them by type and depth according to 43 elements, and have published my findings in my 6th book titled "33 Souls Who Met God–Accounts of Atheists, Buddhists, and Christians Who Died and Met the Same God." I am the only NDE researcher who has personally experienced everything I have written about NDEs. I died and returned 6 times. Three of those times were what I call "expanded afterlife experiences" (level 4)–the deepest type of afterlife experience on record and the stage far beyond what Jonathan experienced. Three were simply out-of-body experiences where I got out and wandered around the hospital where I was having surgery or was in the ER. I am not a know-it-all about all things spiritual. I simply have a broader perspective on NDEs than most because of my personal experiences, research, and the vast amount of Knowings I received while I was in the afterlife.
Thank you! I enjoyed this entire video! Jonathan is the gift that keeps on giving. Much love to all! 🙏❤️
That's "His Divine Grace" "Swami John gurujaragadivivnanda Ashford" You drip.
Bad audio. Cant hear the questions.
"I'm just here to wake people up." I think Echart Tolle says that. This guy sounds like most people who have awakening experiences, near death, Kundalini etc.
The problem is becoming obsessed with the experience and then centering your life around it: Becoming a GURU! Then you think you're special- the ego trip kicks in (you believe you're special) and you can't stop talking about it. Then you develop followers and the whole thing snowballs. And what is that all worth??? $$$$$$
There's thousands of these guru folks out there with a great story. I've got one too. Now you can go to his website and pay him for consultations, buy the book, and find enlightenment….PFFT!
Eating cheese at the exact moment he said eating cheese. Thank you for that communication you have a great sense of humour ♥️♥️
Dude that intro nailed it
Love the intro!💓💓
💚
every time I watch this, I get something new and exciting. Thankyou so much for posting.❤❤❤
“this muddy existence that we live in”. Reminds me of a dream I had: I see a field of mud full of golden chalices. They were in varied states of being revealed. Some, still buried, some partially covered in mud, and some sitting on the surface, shining in the light.🌹
“Your time here is set”. Somehow I have known this. I’m 75. Years ago I started saying “I don’t get to die until I have accomplished my mission”. I knew that when I boarded the airplane that it wasn’t going down, because my work here is not finished.🌹My only fear is that I don’t accomplish my mission.🌹
“When you acknowledge the thing in the room, the thing in the room will acknowledge you back”. I have been in this experience for years. But, this conversation is giving me, Everything in the room, seen and unseen is the thing in the room.🌹

Was Jonathan’s clothing from donations?
Not judging him but is this for the show?
I thought Jonathan gave up the material lively hood
So funny, thanks for the laugh ❤🎉❤
Wow< so much to take in and I think I'll be listening to this again too. Jonathan is such a gift to us and I'm really grateful he decided to come back 🙂
Timestamps please ♥️
Jonathan is the singularly most profound, altruistic NDE spiritual teacher of time.
I'll always have doubts but this guy just has the best answers to a variety of questions and I do feel a transformation in my gut listening to him speak.
Karma is simply Sanskrit for action.
Action has a reaction. It’s not about a ‘judgement’. Meritorious karma exists as well as the opposite.
Everyone is prefacing their so-called “question” with this repetitive speech that kind of explains and gives like an excuse for their questions and also like blindly praises this guy up & down in this corny, rambling manner that basically just mirrors and rephrases what the person before them said like it’s required and then they start nervously giggling and acting star-struck while acting like children who just want the teacher’s attention and want to use everyone else’s attention & time without any concern or any kind of awareness of the importance of staying concise, succinct, & on-task. Each speaker just wants the attention and focus of the “teacher,” while rambling about their own personal or anecdotal experiences without any adherence to the courtesy that is owed to the audience both at home and in person. Why does everyone copy the person before them and give this man super-specific details about their personal lives while he embodies the stoic, patient teacher who tries to be helpful to everyone while letting these adults forget they are indeed adults?!?!!! I am totally judging them and I think it’s a valid point – let’s remember to use our time wisely, students, & be a leader with your own original thoughtful questions!!!!
The guy is a fraud. Had a NDE that only his dog witnessed….put this loser on a lie detector. He simply escaped and remade himself. Now he is manipulating well meaning people. Expose this creep…don't hype him. Ask him to take a lie detector…and I guarantee he gets nervous
The kingdom is within, and Jonathon is telling the truth. It feels so odd to people to hear there is no right and wrong, no religion and all religions, no sin orher than an adulteration of love but as it is self. To hate is to hate self, to love is to love self, to refuse love is to also refuse self. Everything else is just man made laws for the perception of power. Those creating an illusion of poser and ain, is simply to control those seeking love. Love is accepting, no judgement, and peace.
