The Afterlife According to Near Death Experiences: What Do They Reveal?

Steve Farrell • Jun 26, 2023

Near death experiences have been reported by people from all walks of life, and often involve vivid and profound experiences that can leave a lasting impact. While the scientific community is still exploring the nature of these experiences, many people believe that they offer a glimpse into what lies beyond this life. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what people report experiencing during near death experiences, and what it could mean for our understanding of the afterlife.


What are Near Death Experiences?

Near death experiences are often described as transformative events that occur when a person is close to death or has been declared clinically dead. During these experiences, people report a range of sensations and perceptions, including feelings of peace and love, out-of-body experiences, encounters with deceased loved ones or spiritual beings, and a sense of being drawn towards a bright light. While the exact nature of these experiences is still a topic of debate, they have been reported by people from all cultures and backgrounds, and are often seen as evidence of an afterlife or spiritual realm.


Despite the fact that near death experiences have been reported for centuries, they have only recently begun to receive serious scientific attention. Researchers have conducted numerous studies on the phenomenon, using a variety of methods to try and understand what happens to the brain and body during these experiences. Some theories suggest that near death experiences may be the result of oxygen deprivation or other physiological factors, while others propose that they are genuine glimpses into the afterlife. Regardless of the cause, however, it is clear that near death experiences can have a serious impact on those who experience them, often leading to a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper appreciation for life.


While NDEs are often associated with a sense of peace and calm, they can also be accompanied by intense emotions and sensations. Some people report feeling a sense of overwhelming love and compassion, while others describe a feeling of being pulled towards a bright light or tunnel. Many people also report a sense of detachment from their physical body, as if they are observing their own experience from a distance. Despite the intense and often life-changing nature of NDEs, they remain a topic of debate and skepticism within the scientific community. However, for those who have experienced them, NDEs can be a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all things and the beauty and mystery of life.


The Nature of the Afterlife

One of the most intriguing aspects of near death experiences is the insight they potentially provide into the nature of the afterlife. Many individuals who have had NDEs report encountering deceased loved ones or spiritual beings during their experience. These encounters are often described as vivid and emotionally charged, with a sense of connection and communication beyond what is possible in the physical world.

For some, these encounters serve as evidence of an afterlife—a realm where consciousness continues to exist after death. The presence of deceased loved ones in NDEs suggests the possibility of an existence beyond our physical bodies, where souls or consciousnesses may reunite and continue their journey.


The Role of Love and Unity

Love and unity are recurring themes in near death experiences. Many individuals report experiencing an overwhelming sense of love and interconnectedness during their NDEs. This love is often described as unconditional and all-encompassing, transcending earthly boundaries and limitations. Some individuals describe it as a state of pure love that emanates from a divine source.


This profound sense of unity suggests that, if there is an afterlife, it may be characterized by a higher level of consciousness that transcends individual identities and fosters a deep sense of interconnectedness. It implies that love and compassion may be fundamental aspects of our existence beyond the physical realm.


Life Review and Lessons Learned

Another common element of near death experiences is the life review. Many individuals report witnessing a panoramic review of their lives, where they re-experience significant events and interactions from different perspectives. This life review is often accompanied by a deep understanding of the consequences of their actions and the impact they had on others.


The life review suggests that the afterlife may involve a process of reflection and learning, where individuals gain a comprehensive understanding of the choices and experiences they had during their earthly existence. This introspective journey allows for personal growth and transformation, fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness and empathy.

The Illusion of Time and Space


Time and space often appear to be distorted or irrelevant during near death experiences. Individuals report a sense of timelessness, where past, present, and future merge into a single moment. Similarly, the physical constraints of space seem to dissolve as individuals report the ability to travel instantly or be present in multiple locations simultaneously.


These experiences challenge our conventional understanding of reality, suggesting that the afterlife may exist outside the constraints of time and space. It implies that consciousness may transcend the limitations of our physical existence, opening up possibilities for a more expansive and interconnected reality.


Integration and Impact

While near death experiences can be deeply transformative, integrating these experiences into everyday life can be a challenge. Individuals who have had NDEs often struggle to find words to describe their encounters adequately. They may face skepticism or dismissive attitudes from others who have not had similar experiences.


Nonetheless, many individuals who have had near death experiences report a shift in their priorities and perspectives. They often develop a greater appreciation for life and a renewed sense of purpose. These experiences can catalyze personal growth, spiritual exploration, and a commitment to living a more meaningful and compassionate life.


Unlock the Secrets of the Afterlife: Wisdom and Guidance from Beyond the Veil Course Offers Insights and Transformative Techniques for Soul Development

Humanity's Team presents "Wisdom and Guidance from Beyond the Veil: Using Insights from Near-Death Experiences, Sound Healing, and Mediumship to Accelerate the Development of Your Soul," a groundbreaking course designed to delve into the wisdom and teachings obtained from near-death experiences (NDEs) and connect with intelligences from the other side. With overwhelming evidence of the afterlife emerging from scientific sources, it is crucial for humanity to explore these experiences and tap into the transformative knowledge they offer.

Led by esteemed neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander, participants learn about his remarkable weeklong NDE and the deep insights he gained from it. Dr. Alexander's subsequent research has unveiled extraordinary revelations about life and the afterlife, shedding light on our higher purpose as a species.


Karen Newell, an expert in brainwave entrainment, guides participants in using sound as a powerful tool to establish connections with the other side and elevate consciousness. Sound has the potential to facilitate deep states of awareness, quieting the mind and emotions, thereby enabling easier access to the realms beyond.


Additionally, renowned medium Suzanne Giesemann shares her wisdom and provides training to help participants communicate with afterlife intelligences, including their own departed loved ones. Through Suzanne's guidance, individuals can learn to bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual dimensions, gaining access to higher wisdom for personal growth and transformation.


The "Wisdom & Guidance from Beyond the Veil" program offers a wealth of knowledge and practical techniques. Participants will discover the most significant lessons from NDEs, along with the shared messages and journeys of those who have returned from the other side. This knowledge holds the power to shape their present lives and future trajectories.


Moreover, the course presents research on children's past life memories, illuminating the impact of these memories on their current existence. Participants will gain insights into the importance of exploring these memories and the optimal age for harvesting them.


The transformative power of sound will also be explored, as participants learn to create a resonant state that aligns with their soul's true path. By quieting the mind and connecting with their infinite awareness, individuals can distinguish between their limited human awareness and the insights of their soul.


Participants will also discover techniques to engage with departed loved ones, spirit guides, angels, and archangels from higher planes of existence. By establishing connections with these beings, individuals can tap into their elevated wisdom and experience personal growth and enlightenment.

Final Thoughts

Near death experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into the nature of the afterlife. While scientific understanding of these experiences is still evolving, the reports from individuals who have had NDEs suggest the possibility of a realm beyond our physical existence—a realm characterized by love, unity, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and our interconnectedness.

Whether these experiences provide definitive proof of an afterlife or serve as metaphysical glimpses into the mysteries of consciousness, they undeniably hold immense transformative power for those who have undergone them. Near death experiences challenge us to explore the deeper questions of our existence and contemplate the nature of life and death with an open mind and heart.

The Akasha, also known as an eternal Ether, is a place that does not belong to one unique soul but belongs to all souls. The Akashic Records, in essence, is a storehouse of information on all deeds, actions, thoughts, creations, and destructions brought forth by each individual. All that has ever lived, breathed, and operated is included within the vast landscape of the Akashic Records. The Akasha belongs to all, and a specific Record belongs to each unique soul. To put this Ether in terms of understanding, it’s important to know that there is a thinking stuff that exists between each and every one of us. This thinking stuff we perceive as invisible. It is as clear as the air we breathe and as lucid as the subtle energies that flow among us. It is in front of us, behind us, and all around us. We are constantly held and supported by this invisible force as it walks with us in each action of our lives. The Akasha is there with us when we contemplate, and especially so when we stagnate. This Ether is moving; it's malleable and formative and, above all else, intelligent. We are fortunate enough in this cosmic creation that we find ourselves living in to have a force so strong and compassionate that it can help us through any downfall or delay we may face. The process of uploading our life path to our own unique Akashic Record is built upon a strong foundation of trust. This is the ultimate example of the Universal Law of Giving and Receiving. Our trust in this Ether is the act of Giving, and the intelligence that communicates back with us when we access this Ether is the act of Receiving. This works in a balanced dynamic, as both the Akasha and the Individual are completing the cycle of Giving and Receiving, and this cycle is built entirely upon information and the trust that comes with sharing this information. Therefore, it’s essential for those who wish to access their own Akashic Records to operate their lives in the same cycle of Giving and Receiving, with their life based on the value of trust and integrity. The Akashic Records allow us to access the non-locality of our subconscious mind and, in more spiritual terms, is an entry point to the superconscious mind that we are all connected to. As we explore the layers of our own Akashic Records, we can find ourselves back as our Soul Self and gain a brighter understanding of the people in our lives, the dynamics we have with one another, and the relationships we have played with each other in past lives. Exploring the Akashic Records in this way can give us a better understanding of the lessons we’ve chosen to work through in this life and remind us of the potency of the initial contracts we have chosen to sign entering into this incarnation. When the mindset of victimhood falls upon us during our earthly existence, it’s a powerful antidote to be reminded of our own choosing in these matters. This remedy is given to us by those in the Spirit world who have dedicated themselves to be by our sides and help us in times of forgetting, neglecting, and avoiding. Avoidance tendencies are commonplace when we forget the greater good and reasoning for our learning through certain lessons. When we fall into this pattern, our Akashic Records can bring us back into a state of alignment with our life’s purpose and enlighten us about the self-imposed blocks we have set up during times of doubt. Entering into our Records brings our consciousness to a new dimensional space and, in this way, allows us to perceive our life’s circumstances from an entirely new perspective. The Akashic Records work on the basis of awareness and since this Ether is built upon information, it saves us through the shifting and restructuring of the way we are currently analyzing our reality. This knowledge is shared with us through loving connections with our Guides, Teachers, and Loved ones who meet us in our Akashic Records each time we access this sacred space. Our Team of Light provides us with answers to some of our life’s most pressing questions, assisting in the restructuring of options available to us. The awareness that comes from this process results in a profound shift that quite literally restructures one’s reality for the highest and greatest good. When we seek answers to our problems away from the light of the Akashic Records, Ego becomes very much a part of this process. We can be swayed by victimhood, betrayal, and ingrained neural pathways that jump us to certain conclusions based on our past conditioning and the way we have been programmed to view reality. Once we step into the light of the Akasha, our past conditioning is no longer at the forefront of our decision-making process, and we are graced with answers that go beyond our current understanding of the situation at hand. The Akashic Records magnify our enlightened qualities and show us the way through our problems, all while carving us a new path of least resistance to take in life. When we feel lost in these incarnations, our Akashic Records become a guiding light in the dark.  About Jessi Whan: Jessi Whan is an Akashic Record Practitioner who specializes in creating a bridge between her clients and their Team of Light. It’s known that after each incarnation, time is spent overseeing the life one's recently lived with their Guides, Teachers, and Loved ones. Jessi's work grants clients the opportunity for mid-life reviews, where she deeply dives into her client's current incarnation. Together, they gain insights into Past Life Imprints, Soul Contracts, Karmic Connections, and Futuristic Probabilities. She loves helping others shift into a deeper state of awareness through her work with the Akashic Records.
