Near Death Experiencer Didn't Know If He Should Come Back!

May 2025 16

Jonathan grew up in the suburbs of Seattle and led an outwardly ordinary adulthood, despite a quietly ferocious inner search. After many unexpected spiritual experiences including a near-death experience, in 2011 he left his regular life entirely and went through a sort of “final” doorway, in which a radical falling away of egoic self became the abiding ground of his being. After a few years spent nearly in silence, an inner prompt revealed a subtle healing ability, and a subsequent prompt to share what’s been received has become the prime mover of Jonathan’s life. His essential function, as he sees it, is to help people remove blocks to their awareness of their deepest being, and to live from the peace that pours forth.

This is such a beautiful, wonderful experience! I am so regretting the very bad audio quality, because I want to hear it clearly and precisely, and I have to guess so much of the words as it is all so unclear and 'underwater'-y…

@azalea1404

Not a credible NDE – in fact this is not a real NDE at all. Just word salad, nonsense, and essentially a made up and highly decorated story. To the channel owner(s): pls be a bit more critical and quality focused when selecting your sources.

@josephspencer9005

The lack of quality in audio is intolerable. Had to quit watching.

@MrDjlindholm

A healthy adult dying from dehydration without realizing it? Cmon….

This isn’t near death whatsoever.

@TallyRocky

I’ve had this surgery and it is in no way life threatening. This story is not believable. IANDS do better please.

@Seanz069

Is "PEACE" what "everyone" is looking for?
Sounds horrible to me.

Tedious man tedious

What situation? Ur endless description of the same thing?

Omg get to the point

@xKellogsx

The combination of the poor sound quality and his long-winded flowery articulation made this quite difficult to listen to. I only made it halfway

@USANEWS-l7n

This is nothing more than a product of the brain in a near-death state! When the brain lacks oxygen, it creates complex hallucinations. Don’t turn a biological phenomenon into a mystical event to convince others to believe in religion https://www.youtube.com/@USANEWS-l7n

It is true that we sre not our human body. Yet many of us this time seems to think and believe by the form of thinking that this is all there is only to act or live this existence by living as though they must survive when they do, we all do. And their actions, behavior while in this form are creating suffering, and much hardship that is not necessary to the rest. I have been out of my physical body during its resting period, and I am literally open in being able of seeing those that no longer have a physical form. For the person who commented we are beings of energy I will agree with you but since then we as energy beings without the human form I also see them with a full complete body which resembles the human form. We take with us what we consider the body faculties e.g., seeing, thinking, etc. is not part of the human but is part of what we sre that is of energy.

– [00:00] The speaker reflects on a pivotal near-death experience (NDE) at age 29, following a painful surgery for sleep apnea. An "inner click" marked the onset of the experience, as the life force began to drain from his body.

– [00:46] He describes the awareness of being separate from his body, free from suffering even amidst extreme pain. This moment revealed the illusory nature of the physical body and material dimension.

– [01:48] Three simultaneous realizations occurred:

– He was not his body and had never been confined by it.

– The body's pain and suffering were separate; pain existed, but suffering was optional.

– Everything in this dimension, including the body, was inherently illusory.

– [02:29] He felt the body was dying but lacked urgency, finding freedom in the detachment from physical constraints.

– [03:09] A profound peace and distinction between pain and suffering emerged, accompanied by a recognition of the ephemeral nature of the physical self.

– [04:23] The awareness of being a separate consciousness began to dissolve into the "allness" or oneness of existence, a state without fear, lack, or need.

– [06:12] This merging into the infinite "allness" offered the deepest sense of freedom, removing all fears and concerns, even as his physical body neared death.

– [09:21] His father entered the room, unaware of his son's condition. Despite the ongoing physical decline, the speaker felt only peace and love toward his father.

– [11:04] Over the following days, he continued experiencing overwhelming peace, love, and silence. A choice presented itself: to stay or pass on.

– [12:21] The decision to stay arose from a subtle, inexplicable sense that there were things left to do. He chose to remain, despite not knowing why.

– [14:24] His father eventually recognized something was wrong, and they returned to the hospital, where doctors confirmed the speaker was dying from dehydration.

– [15:37] Rehydration through an IV immediately reversed the process. The speaker's life force returned, and he embraced the decision to live with quiet joy.

– [16:52] Reflecting on the NDE, he struggled to reconcile the experience with his daily life, realizing the transformative nature of his journey.

– [18:21] Years later, he accompanied his father during his death, drawing on his own NDE to guide his father to the "allness," sharing a deeply spiritual connection.

– [20:56] Tasked with deciding when to let his father pass, he found peace in knowing where his father was transitioning, considering it an honor.

– [21:50] The NDE catalyzed a personal transformation, leading to a decade-long inward journey to reconcile the concept of self and its illusory nature.

– [23:01] He experienced profound moments, including the collective suffering of humanity, which deepened his understanding of spiritual interconnectedness.

– [24:29] A final reconciliation occurred, dissolving the sense of individual self into lasting peace. This led him to leave his former life and embrace a spiritual path.

– [25:49] Unexpected healing and intuitive gifts emerged, enabling him to connect with others and share a sense of fundamental oneness.

– [26:30] He now dedicates his life to helping others access this experience of interconnectedness and peace, through teaching, healing, and sharing his story.

– [27:53] He invites people to connect with him via his website, assistthespirit.com, where resources, articles, and private sessions are available.

I thought this wasn't him at first. Hahaha. But I looked carefully at the picture & the guy talking. Oh I said it's him. Just without the hair. Still handsome though. Just miss the hair.

Poor audio, hard to understand.

@digitalmusic4803

I have a question for those who had an NDE. How does this sound, I feel I have a better, deeper meditation experience when I, while meditating on a mantra, concentrate on the thought that what I do now to "have a loving exchange with Source", I will actually after death have a Life Review together with Source, reviewing this exact moment now. And this could in a limited way perhaps, make me be in the now without distractions from my pas-present -whatifhow -mind, and thus have a better result from the meditation practice. Does this make sense in the framework of your actual experience on the other side? Kindly elaborate if relevant. My heartfelt thank you beforehand.

@ArlindoPhilosophicalArtist

We are the eternal witness. Consciousness is fundamental. Nature allows for an afterlife. NDEs are strong evidence for that. That's it.

#23

@NSkrobis

Talk about someone babbling! Having had an NDE this sounds like a lot of BS to me!

@alienoverlordsnow1786

No one has a choice whether to come back or not. If your destiny is to suffer more, then you have to come back.

We are not our bodies. We never have been. Or ever will be. We are us. The body is a vehicle for experience.

@Xtheist7

I'm not an Atheist nor a Theist. I don't believe in the 'God' something/ everything. Seems man always makes God's of everything. God of this and that. My God is better than your God… God doesn't exist for me. I now identify myself as a 'Engerist.' We are all beings of energy and energy never dies but only changes form. My and your energy will move on…
