I had a crazy NDE when I overdosed that changed my entire life and now I am employed by the hospital and I talk to patients after their overdose and connect them to resources. By the grace of God clean since 2018 baby!!
I would love to hear about your experience! I’m in the first season of my podcast, called Down From Above, which consists solely of near-death experience stories. And already, I have four experiences with women who have died from overdoses. It’s so interesting how they come out with the urge to serve, which totally changes their lives. I believe your story 100% and would love to hear more.
I lost my dad a week ago. This isn’t a UA-cam comment sob story but seriously, I have found so much comfort in this episode it’s indescribable. As a previous atheist this is just something else.
There has to be somethign beyond our reality. Sometimes you can just feel it. It will be ten years since my father passed and I have an aunt who is like a mother who is facing her exit. This was definitely comforting. Strangely enough my aunt has told me about this guy before and I never looked into him. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. Sorry for your loss, but I hope you're sharing the same optimism I feel right now.
Believing in nothingness is a scary and lonely existence. I am sorry for your loss, but I hope this brought some closure and enlightenment. You don’t have to believe in a monotheistic god in order to believe that we are consciousness and consciousness is infinite.
My daughter had a NDE at 4 years old. This happened 25 years ago. My sister had her outside near the end of the driveway looking at the horses in the field and my uncle pulled into the driveway while they were out there so my sister ran down the drive way and at that moment a intoxicated driver came across the opposite lane of travel and into our driveway striking her. They had to call in life flight to fly her to Cincinnati childrens and they lost her 6 times during that flight. When she came out of her coma she said she was watching everyone standing over her crying and two people came and got her and walked her down a tunnel that was very bright and they brought her to a persona that was bright like the tunnel and they ask her if she wanted to stay or go back and I assume she couldn't make up her mind because she said the person that was bright like the tunnel said look your grandma is down there crying i think she still needs you if you go back you can come back here later. That was when I realized there has to be something beyond because a 4 year old could not come up with that own thier own.
I'm so very sorry this had happened to your daughter and you had to experience this horrible situation! It must've been like living in a nightmare one cannot wake up from. Your daughter's statement is so good to hear, as she was such an innocent child, with unpolluted by external influences mind. Your daughter's experience is the most remarkable of all of the NDES, and I've watched hundreds and hundreds of them. You must be so glad she was able to be send back. Much love to you both ❤
@@MegaMuff420 girl I have no clue I wrote this a while back. I have a bad habit of posting before proof reading so possibly a misspelling but who knows.
@@MegaMuff420 probably a spelling mistake or a typing error, exactly for what this editing tool is for!! You never heard of correcting spelling mistakes? On typewriter we had to put correcting fluid or use a correcting pen over the misspelled word but now, as we don't have a ribbon to print the words, we use the editing tool. Why did you even ask?
@@luckyone5648 I'm so sorry, I didn't see your answer here!! What a strange, very strange question that was!!! I've never seen anything like this before!!! To be asked what you edited must be the most weird question ever!!!! I'm sorry you even had to answer it. My best wishes. 🥀
This doctor is smart. And he’s very respectful to theo for his questions. Never once tried to make Theo look bad or like it was a dumb question. Always acknowledged it and reassured Theo it was a good question. What a salt of earth type of guy
I so want to believe the conclusions of his 'research' given my sister just died of pancreatic cancer BUT HE CANT VERIFY anonymous ONLINE ANECDOTES OF NDE's!??? People fabricate or imagine these experiences for attention, clout, publicity, entertainment; really unreliable foundation on which to basis any thesis.🤷
Worked with Dr. Long for a few years with several patients and can testify that he is a good man and was great with his patients. Incredibly knowledgeable and I’m dumbfounded that this is what he was up to in his personal time-I’m glad Theo is giving him a platform to share his studies.
@@autumnsantomauroganggang for sure. I wish it would honestly collapse or for the government to decide that if they’re going to be 100% invested in the system to not be 100% paid for by the insurance companies, massive health systems (monopolies/conglomerates), and big pharma to have as much influence as they do.
@@brandonduplantis4079 I’m sure that would help a lot but I’m more so talking at the frontline. So many nurses and doctors don’t care enough to do their job.
Thank you, Theo! Best show ever. I lost my 15 year old son 10 months ago. He was my best friend. I'm completely lost without him. Struggling to find purpose in life. Watching this was comforting. Thank you. Yes, more shows like this would be helpful to mankind. Everyone can benefit. So proud of you! Thank you!
I lost the love of my life on 12.27.23 while 5 months pregnant with his daughter. He was my best friend and we were so excited for this next phase of our lives. I have been begging for a sign that hes still with me. I havent received it but being reminded that we'll be together again someday is comforting 😔
As much research as I’ve done into this, as well as a spiritual awakening…just know that he is always with you. He will send you signs. Just don’t overthink it. We tend to make excuses & overthinking whether or not something is a sign. Lost my Daddy a couple of years ago. One day I was driving to work and a song came on that we used to listen to together. I was singing out loud and out of nowhere my whole body started tingling, I felt pure joy & happiness and tears were rolling down my cheeks while I had a smile on my face. He was definitely right there in the front seat singing with me that morning. ❤
@@ericarankin1946 oh thank you for this! I have so many moments throughout the day where I think of him, literally everything reminds me of him and I wish he'd come, but you're right I could be overthinking. I just always thought, if anyone were to figure out a way to give me a sign, it would be him. We were so close. Every time I get emotional about it I feel my baby kick so ill take that. ❤
He's so poetic and comes out with the most beautiful, descriptive analogies. He's so gifted in his analysis and descriptions of things. Dude should try writing. I wonder if Theo is a big reader or whether this language just comes naturally to him. He's such an enigma😂
Dr. Long was so loving and positive in his responses to Theo going off on rants about drugs and other things. He never told him he was wrong. He just says something like "those are great thoughts." Or "You are certainly on to something, Theo." You can see how kind and humble he is.
This was hard for me to watch, Theo had some good questions but he was constantly pulling him away from a story or going in totally random or strange directions
The way the gentleman talks to you, mentioning your name especially before answering in a loving way, makes your energy shift to a younger version of you Theo. Someone else hearing that? That’s so healing to watch.
Kind of…. More so in the beginning… seemed like Theo was on drugs for the last hour or so. Talking over the doctor and not letting him complete his stories and thoughts and just ruining the content and conversation
Very loving fatherly and yet validating communication style. Even if he doesn't agree he humbly says "Interesting idea and I am not aware of that" to validate with grace. ❤
I was drunk as hell with a former friend and we got in a fight. He started choking me and was trying to kill me. I lost consciousness and found myself hovering over my body while it was being choked to death. It was as if somebody had pulled the roof and the walls off the building and everything inside of it and it was just me and him. Everything else was pitch black. I was floating in absolute darkness. I was floating away farther and farther into the darkness. It was by far the most peace I have ever felt. There was no noise. I mean nothing. Absolute dead silence. I got to where I could barely see myself and him and then suddenly I was back in my body and running out the door with him chasing me. The door he had kicked in earlier that night bc he couldn't find his keys. I wouldn't of got out of there if the door was locked. I ran and got away. I believe that once I lost sight of myself while I was floating away, that my life would of been over. It felt as if it was a metaphor for my life being that when i lose sight of myself, im dead inside. That peace I felt was magical. No drug could ever give me that. Took me a while, but I quit drinking 5 years later. I'm 816 days sober today. That experience was life-altering.
Damn this comment was a rollercoaster. Great insight though. Congrats on the sobriety. “Losing sight of myself…” I needed to read that today. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. So happy you we able to come back and grow and learn. Your story is very close to home as I had a similar drunken night that could've ended similarly. Of course I'm thankful it didn't escalate that far, but wow it brought me back to that night and I'm ever so grateful it was resolved before it wasn't. Thank you for sharing this friend. And congrats on alcohol sobriety, we are all in this together!
Congratulations, friend. I'm glad you're fighting the good fight and taking better care of yourself. I'm proud of you, and wish you nothing but strength, peace, and perseverance moving forward. I'm also glad you made it out of that horrible encounter.
"NDE's are like 70's love, 2020 love's been cut with baby powder or something." Love Theo! My 23 year old son was killed by a drunk driver while out riding his motorcycle in 2020. This interview has helped me immensely. See you on the other side sweet Austin, mom xo's
I heard that time is different on the other side. What feels like a long time apart on earth is a short time apart in the next world where your son is ready to greet you once your time comes ♥️
When my mom was dying of pancreatic cancer and bone cancer, one morning I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk, she really didn't want to...she didn't want neighbors to see her in a wheelchair. We stepped outside and neither one of us has ever seen the most beautiful, bright colors if the grass and flowers. I can't really describe it but we have never seen how beautiful it was outside. I think we saw how beautiful things are on the other side. I will never forget it.
Lols… Imagine trying to experience a NDE… Most of us would not want to return to this physical experience. By the way, not every NDE is a good experience. And we must remember that on the other side, there are also unpleasant experiences because of what some see. Bear this in mind. Just think about ⚖️.
@@hopemccubbin8661 I agree. I could sense when people are calling you by your name to manipulate you and/or to condescend. Watched the whole podcast and this doctor was genuinely calling Theo by his name. Also a manipulative person wouldn't try that if the conversation is gonna be broadcasted to millions of people.
I am a Palliative Care/Hospice Nurse, as well as a Death Doula and Grief Coach. I have witnessed many deaths over the course of my 20 years, and all have the same pattern and similar experiences when dying. I know what I have seen on this side of the realm, so it makes sense what they see on the other side just before they die. It is the dying’s own reaction to death that makes me not afraid, makes me aware we are safe during death, and that we continue on in another form. Theo, thank you for this beautiful podcast. Thank you for being open and in tune to this belief, and allowing society to talk about death and not be afraid. Death is beautiful, and I am proud to be a part of the Positive Death Movement ❤️
This interview gives me so much hope. I want to see my daughter again, not just yet, but to know she and I will be reunited again.... such a relief. I miss her so.
Bless you ❤ you will most definitely see her again, that is the only thing that gets me through grief and death..I feel that is another thing God gives us, hope and some kind of peace that they are safe and in a better place, and that when it's our time to be called home, we will be reunited with those we loved that left before us ❤
While you are living, if your daughter wasn't an infant...on that I have no experience, but besides that, never assume little things are just coincidences. I know people who wait for a sign and never get one, or so they think. Often times, especially within a month , ( don't get caught up on the time) we receive signs they are overlooked. My personal experience shortened...after my mom passes, I fell asleep on her front room floor. Before dawn, she spoke into my ear and immediately I woke up. I thought she was still here. Her message, I'm at home and I'm alright. Weeks later her favorite cousin contacted me and told me how my mom contacted her. I had never told anyone. Her message was exactly the same, except she called her sweetheart. My father used to collect dimes. I was around 55 and had never found even a penny but whenever life gets crazy, I will find a dime in places that I know could not have been there. Later, I found out those are 2 common messages. But you might just smell her, your keys might get moved, lights flicker, you think about her and suddenly you see her in a crowd or even more common, in dreams that are far more real than normal dreams. There is much more. One caveat here is to be certain that what you experience is not something perfectly normal. You might just need a light bulb, or coins feel out of your pocket or your dream us a regular dream. However, they do often try to let us know that they are alive. We just talk ourselves out of what we can't rationally believe. No matter what, that song is true...your circle can't be broken. Love is eternal. You honor her life by living the best you can. I'm so sorry for your pain.
You're not the same person you were 10 years ago. Physically speaking, you have a different body, different cells. Cells die and regenerate. So what are you really? A soul with flesh and blood.
Man I tell you I lost my fiance back in October in a car accident we were in. and I been following theo for years. I needed to hear this i laughed and cried. I agree with every word. And there's a bigger picture. Bless you all ❤️🙏🏻 We appreciate you Theo
I'm sorry for your loss and I'm glad this episode made you feel better. If you wanted to check them out, there's near death experience (NDE) videos all over UA-cam. I've watched hundreds of them and they really help me feel better. Take care❤
So sorry for your loss dude. I know nothing, especially some rando comment on YT, can alleviate that. But I feel for you and am sending love and thoughts and prayers and whatever else your way. Good luck brother. I feel for you, and I cannot even imagine, so... genuinely...sending love and sympathy.
❤❤❤ Only 4 days past, I lost a very dear and young friend to cancer. We both believed that we knew each other from a past life and that when this over we will meet again. I was asleep with the phone next to me and awoke to this. I truly feel as though it was my friend's way of letting me know he's OK and that we will meet again. I feel it even more after watching you. Thank you so very much!
My dad passed when i was 15, and i was really sad and worried about where his soul went and if he was in pain. One night about a week after he died , i had this dream that didnt feel like a dream it felt so real, like i was actually there. All i saw was white and gold light, all around me. I couldnt see my arms or legs just light and i felt the safest ive ever felt in my whole life. It was more peacful than words could ever explain. When i woke up i just layed there wondering what it was, still feeling peacful. And i think that was my dads way of showing me he didn't suffer at all and he was safe.
I had a similar experience with our family dog. She lived a long life, but we unfortunately had to put her down as you have to with most old dogs that are suffering from chronic pain and a failing body. Shortly after her passing, I had a dream that I was playing with her in our back yard on a sunny day. Strangely enough, though, she wasn't the old dog that I had remembered, it seemed as if she had reverted to her younger self as a puppy. No longer was she hobbling around from weakened joints and an old body. She ran back in forth in our backyard with the vigor of a much younger dog. I think this was her way of telling me that she was okay and no longer in pain, and to be happy for her passing. I think the dream world is much more than what it's been reduced to.
I had a dream with my father maybe a month and a half after he passed as well! I was younger and he was probably in his 30s and looked very healthy, we are driving up this red dirt road both singing should’ve been a cowboy by Toby Keith. But it didn’t feel like a dream at Simp too real and I remember everything still to this day. my girlfriend woke me up and said that I was singing and starting to cry in my dream as I woke up with tears in my eyes. That was two days before Easter, and when I went to Easter and so my dad side of the family, my aunt which would be sleepy his sister and my uncle, his brother both had dreams within a few days of each other And both said the same thing that my dad looked like he was in his 30s and healthy and told them both that everything is going to be OK and he is all right. My uncle said that he was driving with my dad in the passenger seat on a dirt road as well drinking beers. and then my aunt and real life had to go to the doctor to check out this possibly cancer spot in her neck. The night before she had to go she was very nervous and she had a dream where she got to the doctors office and saw my dad facing the opposite way from her. Looking down at some rocks. she went up to him and asked his name Todd is that you? And she said he turned around and was in his 30s as well and she said that he told her not to worry about him and don’t worry about spot in her neck, everything is going to be OK. The fact that my aunt and my uncle all had these dreams about him and the same time frame and he was in his 30s with all three of us basically giving the same message and even writing and a vehicle on a dirt road and mine and my uncle’s dream makes me think that it was a message.
I feel that your father came to visit you and tell you everything is OK and that is fine the same way my father came and told me. Out of my siblings. I definitely took it the roughest his passing, and I was the closest to him. They say if you can vividly remember and dream that it’s not a dream it’s a message.
Brother I had a similar experience when my mom passed away about 2 years ago. I was an educated atheist, right up until that point. Now I’m not so sure
As a hospice/oncology nurse, this is my favorite interview of yours Theo! You highlight issues most of society doesn’t talk about and it’s insane because what is more human than life and death? We prepare so much for birth but rarely for death. Your curiosity & genuineness is so contagious. Thank you!!!
This video is literally a crossing of my two UA-cam obsessions -- NDE info, or NDE testimonies, and Theo Von. Big ups to you Theo, I swear he has the best podcast. Humor, irreverance, right dose of humility, and interesting guests, not just narcisisstic celebs who are trying to promote their tour.
My grandma has often spoken about her NDE during childbirth in the 1950’s. I love to listen to it and believe her experience. Today she was taken to hospital and we have been told she may not make it out. She will hopefully be celebrating her 97th birthday with us all later this week. This episode has brought great comfort and peace at this time ♥️
I’ve just seen all these lovely messages of thoughts and well wishes - what kind people you are ♥️ my grandma fought to celebrate her 97th birthday then quietly passed over to the other side. Her life was full and leaves nothing but colourful memories for us all. I am sending my love to all those going through similar loss and pray for nothing but peace for each of you x
You are loved. We are so sorry for your loss. Nothing can change that and I am working on that! I want to change and fix everything and working on that now in therapy. We can’t change everything. That sucks. But love wins and you’re not alone. I lost my grandfather who raised me a while back and I promise it never goes away. But the memories I have with him bring me the most euphoric feeling (yes, I cry most times when thinking of it) when I close my eyes and be there again. We all have good and bad memories. The best feelings and the worst. But those good feelings can live through you forever. Go to those. I love you and I hope you carry on that man through your love and life. I cried typing this toward the end. I am so sorry for your loss again. But you and me and all of us can win with love and growth. Prayers for you and I have you on my heart (don’t even know you) now. Stay strong and we can get there ❤
I had a NDE. It was peaceful darkness. It was so good that I was actually angry / disapointed when the Doctors brought me back to life. My very first thought was: "Man, that was so good, why did you brought me back!?!" Only then I realized : " holy shit I was dead and I am back again. Now I am not afraid of death anymore and I stopped wanting to die (because od depression).
One of my friends had a heart attack playing softball. The cardiologist said he shocked him back to life more times than any other patient in his career. My friend said the same thing you said; peaceful darkness.
Yes! I drowned as a kid, I remember going under water and the sun was shining through, got brighter and flash everything went black and I still felt like I was floating but no longer felt physical weight, I just was. And it was comfortable. I felt nothing at all physically or emotionally. It was nice.
My grandfather was one of them. He “died” and minutes later came back after being led down a very bright tunnel filled with all of our relatives who had passed. They told him not yet. He came back to us and spoke of this daily said goodbye to us for two weeks, lost consciousness then really did die . They told him to come back and visit w us before he was able to leave the earth. Crazy.
If your a d u m b virtue signaler and you have a near death experience, what are you going to say? I saw nothing? Or that heaven exists and that they saw a light and a tunnel and a bear and a this and a that? Which one is going to make you more friends. There, now you get it. Which "truth" lets you write a book about it and make money? There, now you understand humans.
@@jeanalice4732I can’t remember where exactly but on one NDE channel I did hear some people describing their NDE in the other direction. They spoke of hell. Luckily, obviously, they came back and told the story.
At 46 minutes in where Theo says Him being here now is proof of an afterlife really blew me away! Hit me right to my core and brought tears to my eyes. Because he's so right that this life in itself is pretty unbelievable so why not have faith in a life after this?! Thanks for the insight, great show my Dude!
I had to explain this to my mother who thought I was a complete atheist but I just really wasn’t sure what to believe at the time. Anyway, to argue against me being atheist I explained to her that the real world and universe we live in now is so magical it would be foolish of me to not believe in an afterlife. I’ve since been leaning closer to a relationship with God and continue being fascinated by everything in our current universe.
@@BigTexGuitarzit seems we are on very similar paths. You've just made it further down the track than I. Since childhood, I've had trouble believing that anything follows this life. I've felt that when we are done, we are done. Maybe it's just a coping mechanism, but I've found great comfort in that nothingness. Eternal rest seems really nice to me after a tiring and often disappointing go at life. I've been called "negative" and "dark" for vocalizing that, but I never thought of it as a bad thing. I don't have all the answers, and I know I very well may be wrong. I just haven't been able to convince myself otherwise. Your comment (and this video) gives me hope that maybe I HAVE been wrong, and there is a higher consciousness, and maybe even a higher power. I'm still not sure what to make of these thoughts, but it's definitely got my wheels turning. I don't mean to write you a novel. I just feel like maybe you would understand and relate. In any case, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Maybe I can even feel God's love someday. Who knows? Wishing you well on your journey.
My first memory was when I was around 7 and suddenly a thought came to me, “why are we here instead of pure nothingness?” I mean, existence of anything (universe, life) is unbelievable
Theo, I truly believe you have found your calling in this life. You're just natural at conversation and being able to connect with your guests and the audience. You're pure of heart and wear your heart on your sleeve. I'm very proud of you and what you're doing.
looked in the comments to see if someone else mentions it and if not i was gonna ask ask about it.. i rewatched that part a few times thinking did i miss something... and the guest didnt react in any way which made it that much more confusing to me. theo said "i love all that kinda stuff".. I'm trying to find a link between nde's and an amusement park
I was literally typing same thing…the afterlife is so beautiful. Yeah, you ever been to Bush Gardens? 😂😂😂 bout fell out of my damn chair! Omg dude, Theo is something else
That is such a nice contrast between these two, this guy's pure soul and genuine knowlege and patience contrasting with theo's sillyness and curiosity, loving this ep
@@edwardsmith1768 at roughly 40 mins in Theo telling him ''I think low key women want to die all the time'' he wasn't ready but he handled it like a pro
Here’s another example of life beyond the veil. On 7/18/23 I was one of the first people to come up on a fatal motorcycle crash in northern Idaho. After my car accident the year before,which resulted in a OBE, I knew the deceased driver was still hovering over the area given that it just happened, so I mentally asked what her name was and “Jennifer” came in loud and clear. After the press release,it was confirmed that was her name! No doubt at all that we are eternal spirits having a temporary physical experience.
Theo this is amazing content, please keep making podcasts with 'regular' people cause i feel their 'regularity' is much more interesting than celebrities and comedians.
My NDE was in 1987 as a result of severe head trauma, not expected to survive. Everything the Dr described is how it was. No language adequately describes the light, the colors, the lack of pain, and personal enlightenment of NDEs. Thank you for producing this. Just describing my experience brings me back this joy, assurance, and agape love.
I’m loving these comments. Rare to see consistent love and intelligence in a comment section these days. Speaks to who Theo attracts in his discourse with different guests. Well done.
One of my absolute favorite topics to delve into. You keep killin it with the subject matter. It’s fun to have a comedian on but just as cool to have a real person with wisdom to pass on.
@BasedGod-ey5ee I don’t think a near death experience has anything to do with a persons religion. I grew up religious as well opposed most of those views as I entered my 20s I think as humans we get a lot wrong especially I. Religious teachings/interpretations but when you interview people of all walks of all religions who have the same thing in common but different beliefs and out thousands and thousands they all describe soo many commonalities on what they saw felt and heard… I don’t think that’s a mere figment of their imagination. There are too many factors to it. Describing conversations that were had by doctors when they were flatlined or even in a separate wing …. City or state. When you listen to a whole bunch of those stories of people who do not even know one another and the experience matches up it’s hard to ignore. I also think that being conflicted about any topic is healthy…as long as you don’t straight up avoid the data because of your stance and can keep an open mind.
@@haileyallen3684 it has everything to do with a person's religion. It's why people around the world experience something completely different or nothing at all. I'm not sure why you're under the impression that people's experiences are similar, they aren't. It's the same with psychedelics and people having different experiences. HIs research and book is based solely under Christian, agnostic or atheist patients in parts of the world predominately driven by Christian backgrounds
Theo, I am a 57 year old woman and I just adore your podcasts. I’ve learned so much through the guests that you have brought on and I’m so grateful for all that you do. What’s so funny is that I didn’t even know you were comedian, lol!! I’ve only found you through the podcast, so news to me. Like you I’ve done Ayahuasca multiple times, and I swear by it. It was a gift to me to clear out some horrific events that occurred my life through childhood!! I recommend it to anybody that wants to try to, remove some pain and suffering quickly versus going through years and years and years and years of therapy. Keep rocking it out dude.💕💕
My sweet sweeeeeet MOM passed away from Cancer, bacterial meningitis, lungs infection, kidney failure, fits,strokes internal bleeding and finally heart failure. She was only 48 year old ,but I know she’s in Heaven!!! She wasn’t just my mom, but my best friend. Please pray for her.
I can confirm what he said about having a near death experience after a suicide attempt.. thankfully no matter how suicidal I’ve been lately I am 1000% more willing to seek help than before.
I have had one NDE during a car accident in Feb of 2022, Valentine's Day actually. I was going about 75mph in the left lane and in the emergency lane was a pickup truck that stalled out. I veered off into that emergency lane and hit that truck staright on. The older guy inside it was alright but my car hit him then spun into oncoming traffic which i got hit again then my car flipped over. I was knocked unconscious and what happened during that time ill never forget. I started to float above my body and seen the whole freeway from my view, i seen myself in the car knocked out, the other guy i hit and other cars and then police and fire trucks and ambulance. I thought to myself this is weird! I felt no pain, a peace that i cannot put into words. When theo and the dr were talking about the infinite knowledge, thats exactly right! Then i heard a strong voice tell me it wasnt my time and that i have work left to do here. Then i was slammed back into my body and that actually hurt. The ambulance took me to the ER and they said i was clinically dead for about a minute and a half. That day changed my life forever. No longer am i a mean person or a liar or a cheat, i take this precious life that God gave me and help others and do good instead of how i used to be. It was a blessing in disguise!
Couldn’t imagine I to have a 5 year old son and daughter and they are my world ! Prayers for you and your boy I pray god heals his body!!🙏🏽 But yes hearing about it is astonishing couldn’t imagine it but same time you kind of can’t wait to ! And it’s good to know there is no sadness for that human but truly happiness! And just knowing we will see our loved ones again
I rarely share this, but when I got saved I was so grateful I would weep and cry before the Lord constantly for hours I would just worship him and thank him I was so incredibly grateful and one time I had been worshiping him for hours almost 4 hours. When all of a sudden I was in heaven and the beauty the flowers I saw are nothing like you see here and the air literally made this almost like a tingling sound it was almost musical I could hear it very faint I don't know what kind of instrument it could have been but it was incredible and then I was back in my body and worshiping the Lord. It truly is beautiful and full of a kind of love that you've never experienced before that's so overwhelming that floods over your soul
Please keep the faith and search for alternative treatments like CAR-T, young children beat it almost in 98 percent of cases. I am sure your precious child will recover. Bless you both
I had a nde when I was 17, I experienced the most loving presence I was totally immersed with and part of… like I imagine the LOVE of a divine presence ❤🙏
I never had a NDE, but I had an experience after my brother passed tragically when I was 16. About 3 week later, I awoke due to a bright light shining into my room. When I walked into our kitchen, he was standing the smiling at me. He was happy, and looked at peace. He had the beautiful, warm light around him. I was stunned, and said “I thought you were dead?” He just smiled at me and said “it’s not like that, you don’t die”. I just starred at him, and finally told him that I love him. He walked over to me and lightly punched me in my arm (like he use to commonly do). Then we were sitting on our couch and I was begging him to tell me what happened to him. His death was suspicious and we were trying to figure out who did this to him. He told me not to worry about that anymore, he was ok. I asked him again, and the phone rang. He talked for a couple seconds and told me he had to go. He got up to walk into another room and I asked him to stay. He turned around and smiled and said “Don’t worry, I’ll see you again”. He turned and walked into the other room. I was crying and jumped up and ran after him. He was gone. Instantly, I was sitting up in my bed with tears already streaming down my face. Then I realized it was a dream, but it didn’t feel like a dream at all. It feel so real, vivid, and unexplainable in many ways. I’ve never had another experience like that one.
God gave you that dream my friend and you did see your son. Don't let anyone tell you different. I've had a NDE and 4 or 5 years before a dream like that of two other loved ones❤
What a beautiful experience to have. I had something like that y after my mother passed, a couple of times. That a visitation within a dream as opposed to just a regular dream. It was done like that so it wouldn't scare you as much, or make you as uncomfortable. And they’re so special to have. Talk to him, and see if he’ll come back for another.
The Toltecs believe that we are dreaming 24/7. There is no separation between the "waking" dream and the "sleeping" dream. Your brother is correct. "It's not like that, you don't die." Thank you for sharing your story, it sounds beautiful❤
I just wanted to say that I’ve had dreams where I was visited by deceased loved ones, and some of them don’t feel like dreams. I think they do visit us that way sometimes.
I genuinely love Theo's interviews, especially with normal people (not celebrities). He's an open spirit and genuinely curious about everything. So many professional interviewers are neither.
I have died and experienced soo much of what he’s talking about. This podcast gave me such a sense of peace that I am not the only one that has experienced what he explains. Ten minutes in while driving I had to pull over and breath hearing this is something that the majority has experienced as well. Thank you Theo. Been watching you for 5-6 years noe frequently. So thank you brother for this pod
Hey Tim. If you liked this podcast I think you might benefit from a couple of UA-cam channels who interview people about NDEs. Just search for it and you'll see plenty of them. I hope this helps. :)
as someone who’s been struggling with the grief of my mom this has given me such a profound amount of peace. i’ve been struggling with my own anxieties of the afterlife to the point where it’s kept me up many nights, but this was such wonderful food for thought. I can’t express my gratitude enough for this video.
I didn't want to click on this video thinking that it would be some conspiracy infested voodoo talk. What I got instead is an incredibly soul-filling and profound conversation. I love how vulnerable and contemplative Theo is, and Dr. Long is brilliant and comes off as so kind and curious. Whether Dr. Long is correct or not, their discussion seems to reach at our fundamental truths regardless. So beautiful one of my favorite episodes.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
When I died at the age of seven, I floated up through a tower located on the roof. To validate, I looked up the hospital in Santa Rosa California where I died and sure enough, there was a tower on the roof of the hospital. I was dying when i arrived at the hospital, had never been there before. I didn't see the tower until I floated through it.
@@E-Kat I had just turned seven when I arrived at the hospital while in the process of dying from pneumonia. I was placed in an oxygen tent, as part of my treatment. I couldn't see anything though the walls of the tent that was dripping with condensation until I floated up over my body. At that point I could see Nuns praying around my bed before I floated up to the ceiling and through a tower, as I mentioned. I didn't know the tower was there when I arrived at the hospital. After floating beyond the tower I entered a tunnel...at that point I was terrified and in denial, I didn't know what was going on. I came out of the tunnel to see humans greeting me. The lead greeter told me he was my deceased grandfather and hugged me, calming me down. A light appeared encourageing me to move on from him, but I wanted to stay with him. My grandfather told me I had to go. I moved forward in the love and light and found myself in a meadow with a bench. I saw a city to my right and started to walk across the meadow towards the city when someone grabbed my hand and told me I had to go back. That somebody was Jesus. I refused.

I think this technique would be awesome with kids and teens. Especially if they come from an at-risk background. They would have never had that kind of attention just for them probably.
My father experienced NDE when he had a heart attack back in 1988. He’s almost 80 now and still works 60+ hours a week. I had an out of body experience at my wife’s funeral in 2012. I don’t recall leaving my body or returning to it. I just remember floating near the ceiling looking down on everyone for what felt like about a minute or so. The details and memory of that are just as vivid today as it was when it happened.
I've seen this doctor intervied by so many people but I've never laughed until I saw this one. I love you Theo, you're a bright light in this world. Thank you for bringing joy into our lives
Had to put my dog down the other day due to severe cancer/abdominal bleeding. I know the studies were about people, but this podcast was surprisingly comforting about death.
Aww I had to put my pup down a few weeks ago. It's the hardest thing you ever have to do but the hope that yours and my pup is over the rainbow bridge no longer in pain and full of life is what gives me so much comfort. We will see them again.
@@nadinedaniel5249 The Rainbow Bridge was written by a Scotsman in 1890. So the poem has been around about 120 years and that poem Conjured up an imaginary place in people's mind that would be a pet heaven and so for 120 years that imaginary flictitional place Rainbow Bridge became to represent pet heaven but now like Disneyland they, we've made it a place that is heaven The Rainbow Bridge is nothing more or less than "as chicken soup for the soul. #Wakeup
@@M123-w1s wow imagine being so miserable with your own life that you would totally say something like this and for what?? For what purpose than to be nihilistic and negative? So what if that gives someone comfort. I truly feel sorry for people like you
It's always a pleasure to watch a highly intelligent person speaking with Theo... Specifically, watching their faces as he flawlessly shocks them, after saying the most ridiculous things and then laying down a profound perception that only he would think of... I don't think I'll ever get tired of that...
Theo, this podcast is helping me figure out the battles I’ve been faced with since I became conscious. Thinking we just end up in a black hole and we never get to see our families again has been the root to my worry and anxiety. I can’t thank you enough for what you do
Not sure this relates, but when I was 4yrs old, i was having a major spinal surgery. I was completely out during the operation. However, when I awoke, I kept saying "daddy ran me over with a tractor". After the surgery, I was unable to walk and had to relearn. I'm 30 now and don't have any memory of it, but I can just vaguely remember a dream of my father and his blue tractor. My parents still dont understand the dream, neither do I. Just strange I was completely out during my surgery, but had a dream that my legs didnt work anymore (tractor running me over) and then woke up with my legs not working. Crazy. P.s. though I do have lifelong issues due to the surgery, I was able to relearn to walk, played ice hockey, had children, etc. I'm very lucky.
My step father spent weeks in coma after clinical death and major brain injury. He was describing it as enormous expansion of consciousness, he was able to leave his body regarding to the level of physical pain he felt. Also he was able to recognize nurses and another people right after he woke up. He couldn’t even speak and talk when he woke up, now he’s absolutely normal and healthy, miracle.
I love that Theo has interesting people on, not just comedians and I also still LOVE the intro song. It encapsulates Theo & his podcast perfectly! Glad he kept it 💗
My mother passed away last December,. I couldn't be with her because I'm in a nursing home, trying to walk again. Anyway, my brother visited our mother the night before she died. She told my brother that our father came to see her. Our father died in 1971, when I was 5, my brother was 11 and our sister was 25. I wasn't surprised because I am a person of faith. I was too.young to understand death when my father died , but I obviously have a real comprehension with the loss of 4 aunts, 4 uncles , 3 cousins and both grandparents on my mother's side. That doesn't make me miss my mother any less.
Find God. I didn’t believe in God but the more I looked into the best arguments for theism vs atheism the more i realized there’s so much evidence God exists. Although you can’t prove he exists. Just so you know the bible is the oldest preserved book of antiquity we have so many different manuscripts which strengthen its validity.
@@mycrazylife408 They say 10-15 minutes is how long it takes for a dying brain to totally shut off. The Dr. here moved very quickly to shut that idea down for good reason, it threatens his whole belief system and what his career is about at this point. He is not just following data, he seems clearly biased, and is now pursuing what to him is a foregone conclusion. Anyway, that 10 to 15 minutes, that could be several lifetimes in an 'afterlife', even eons, seemingly, which is quite possibly just an intense altered state brought on by the chemicals released during death. Some say DMT (the primary active agent in ayahuasca, as Theo mentions) floods the system when this happens. There is a BIG difference between someone doing DMT sober, not dying, and the natural DMT in our bodies FLOODING one's system during death. Anyway, if true, that explains a lot. What I'm saying is, that state could be heaven or any type of afterlife. An illusory heaven brought on by what the person believes. People tend to see what they want to see or what their subconscious believes when they have NDE's no? Even many staunch athiests have a hidden 'what if' compartment or secretly want to believe or get scared in their final moments and desperately want their to be an afterlife. That explains all the different things people see. If you google around you can find a lot of researchers and scientists finding out results that contradict some of the things this doctor is saying. For example, 'the light' that people see has been explained away by some science as a result of a final burst of brain activity in the moments before total brain death (meaning ZERO activity on any level).
I have went through more than you people. And you guys are kidding yourselves. I wish I was so weak that I belief in nonsense to make myself feel better. But I can't. Because it's stupid.
I've had a near death experience. I've half written it on his web page and will finish it tomorrow. I completely relate to this whole podcast. I can't wait to share my story but I've got work in the morning. And trust me, I'm lucky to be alive to tell this story. I had the 'option', and I chose, and remember like it was yesterday, to give it another go on earth, even though the other option to carry on down the tunnel seemed a much easier option. This whole podcast has reminded me just how lucky I am, and how happy and fortunate I am with an amazing family, great job, and the rest of my life to look forward to. But I no longer fear Death. All is OK in the end, I know this for fact!
@@forsakennihilist4524I think we were all given the option/choice at birth, we just don’t remember it. By definition, you can’t remember the pinpoint/singularity/oneness of death because memory is rooted in language, and language is binary at its simplest. We even choose our characters imo, although I don’t see it like we preplanned each of our characters, it’s more like a daily choice to choose who you’re going to be.
I had a strange experience with this, as I recall the stage of choice, and I chose to let go. I was content with things after the "evaluation" of my life, and genuinely thought the choice I made was final. But, despite taking a different route, my end result was also a lack of fear of death. Unfortunately almost inviting of it. Wild how it all happens when the chips are *really* down, haha. I'm glad the experience had positive outcomes for you.
Fascinating! There are more similarities between NDE and DMT experiences than this fine gentleman has witnessed. Other than that, i am fascinated. Thank You
For the 9/11 question he had, there’s a guy on UA-cam who tells a story about how one of the “falling souls” came to him after he hit the ground and thanked him for witnessing his death. He said he saw the souls leaving their bodies about 40 feet above the ground before their bodies hit the ground. I’m choosing to believe him so I can sleep at night.
I believe that’s what happens to a lot of people when it comes to imminent death from blunt force trauma. The soul is snatched out from their bodies like milliseconds before impact. I think it is mercy that the creator has put in place.
I have had three near-death experiences in my life due to a severe chronic autoimmune disorder that nearly killed me. In all three of them, I was on the verge of dying. Then, 6-12 hours later, after being rushed to the emergency room and receiving surgery, I woke up. It was if that time did not exist at all. It was still very comforting and I do not fear death at all. I didn't exist for the overwhelming majority of however long you are convinced the universe has existed, and I will not exist after my death. My life is the anomaly. My nonexistence is the default state. Dying is like a journey back, like I was a drop of water that was lifted out of the ocean ever-so-temporarily, and then returned to it.
Once again, Theo has an amazing guest, fascinating topic. Great questions. I hope lots found this comforting Been an RN for 25 years, hospice specialist for 3. Many folks that can still speak start seeing loved ones weeks before starting to transition ( Real hospice terminology for beginning to pass) It is such a comfort. Many will reach out or pick at the air. ( plucking at angels) Minutes to seconds before, so many have let us know what they are experiencing is beautiful, comforting and they will be okay. From sitting straight up and kissing their loved ones, to having a huge smile, telling us “ it’s so beautiful “ and so much more. Never been religious, but its an honor to be taught by my patients that no matter what your beliefs are, there is something amazing after this life. Theo, you help so many people by tackling what can be tough/ intimidating or once taboo subjects. We all are learning and growing with you, Dude. Thank you
My sister passed unexpectedly on January 2nd, she was 42. They coded her for 1.5 hours. My niece (my living sister’s daughter) constantly talks about Tara hearing angels singing, that the music was so beautiful. I’m a RN, I’ve assisted with end of life care which truly is an honor. But knowing my sister is so young and this happened so tragically for no reason… this is the interview I needed to hear. I know she is on the other side & feel her so easily, like I could ask her ‘what happened?’ And can hear her telling me.
I’m wondering if you hear your sister say “that’s the way it was supposed to be”. Sorry for your loss and still so raw 😢. I’m sure you hear your sister answer you, it’s a telepathy used in the other realm are sometimes able to connect through our conscience whether awake or sleeping, trust in your inner voice. For a better understanding; Watch Next Level Soul Host Alex Ferrari and guest Titled : Vincent Tolman clinically dead 45 minutes, wakes up in a body bag! His NDE is one of the most profound experience I’ve seen.. He’s done a couple of interviews with a different host both are incredible interviews Prayers for peace and strength
Wow. Your comment made me think what happens to a child born to two parents who want out? Does that carry down? If we understood that we will make our children feel the same way will that make us seek help?
I laughed so hard at Theo’s version of a collage dream. You’re hanging with your buddy, then you have a snake, then you look into a window, then everybody hates you. 16:50
My brother passed in April 21st, that day/night, I didn't want to be alone, so I filled my time with friends etc. I get home sleep and had a dream that some one called me and said, my brother passed away, I said no he didn't and went deeper in my sleep. About 5 mins later, my sis in law called me and told me my brother passed away. I was so upset/confused/ sad all at one time. I feel it was his way of telling me his gone , to get me prepared for the reality of it being true, the only hope I have is that I will see him again and apologize for not being the best person I can for him, love you brother, till we meet again ❤❤❤
I had one when i was in a car accident. I was broke from the lower spine to my ankles, and i didn't feel pain. I dont remember hearing anything. I felt warm blood dripping down my face, and i told myself, "im going to die." But i wasn't scared or panicked. Today, im afraid of how calm i was. We dont remember being born, and i dont think we will remember dying.
I've been an addict for 27yrs now i was clean for 10yrs but after losing my 19yr old daughter, fiancée of 16yrs & Nana (the only mother I've ever had) i relapsed & I'm struggling & seems that i can't get the help to get clean again & deal with all the trauma since childhood which is extensive. I'm just about at the end of my tether. I can't take much more, 1 step forward & 10 steps back. I love the fact that people have got through this horrible affliction as what people don't understand is that it's not a choice it's an illness. Well done, heartfelt wishes & keep up the good work 👏 ❤️
Lol um that's a very nice way to put it. Good lord. Does this dude ever talk about anything other than DRUGS??? 🤪 Sad statement on our culture that he has 2 million subs.🤡🤦♀️
I had a crazy NDE when I overdosed that changed my entire life and now I am employed by the hospital and I talk to patients after their overdose and connect them to resources. By the grace of God clean since 2018 baby!!
That’s amazing! A higher power has a plan for your life for sure. Thank you for helping the world ❤️
I would love to hear about your experience! I’m in the first season of my podcast, called Down From Above, which consists solely of near-death experience stories. And already, I have four experiences with women who have died from overdoses. It’s so interesting how they come out with the urge to serve, which totally changes their lives. I believe your story 100% and would love to hear more.
@@DownFromAbovePodcastjust subscribed, excited to see more videos
@@driftingdandelion awesome 👍
You are a miracle! God is real
I lost my dad a week ago. This isn’t a UA-cam comment sob story but seriously, I have found so much comfort in this episode it’s indescribable. As a previous atheist this is just something else.
Sorry for your loss. 😢 🙏🙏
I am also in grief and anything I can get my hands on regarding the afterlife is pure medicine for my unbelievable sadness
There has to be somethign beyond our reality. Sometimes you can just feel it. It will be ten years since my father passed and I have an aunt who is like a mother who is facing her exit. This was definitely comforting. Strangely enough my aunt has told me about this guy before and I never looked into him. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something.
Sorry for your loss, but I hope you're sharing the same optimism I feel right now.
💛🫂
Believing in nothingness is a scary and lonely existence. I am sorry for your loss, but I hope this brought some closure and enlightenment. You don’t have to believe in a monotheistic god in order to believe that we are consciousness and consciousness is infinite.
"It's crazy that we have to almost die to get a message of how to live"
I love Theo's little spontaneous poetic statements.
they’re my favorite
You don’t have to. Check out Dr Joe Dispenza if you want to go deeper
Literally the wisest statement I have ever heard a human utter.
Perfectly said by Theo and I agree with you
Yup. Our bodies are just a gift on loan from God to experience this life's ride, enjoy others and learn what we can on our way.
My daughter had a NDE at 4 years old. This happened 25 years ago. My sister had her outside near the end of the driveway looking at the horses in the field and my uncle pulled into the driveway while they were out there so my sister ran down the drive way and at that moment a intoxicated driver came across the opposite lane of travel and into our driveway striking her. They had to call in life flight to fly her to Cincinnati childrens and they lost her 6 times during that flight. When she came out of her coma she said she was watching everyone standing over her crying and two people came and got her and walked her down a tunnel that was very bright and they brought her to a persona that was bright like the tunnel and they ask her if she wanted to stay or go back and I assume she couldn't make up her mind because she said the person that was bright like the tunnel said look your grandma is down there crying i think she still needs you if you go back you can come back here later. That was when I realized there has to be something beyond because a 4 year old could not come up with that own thier own.
I'm so very sorry this had happened to your daughter and you had to experience this horrible situation!
It must've been like living in a nightmare one cannot wake up from.
Your daughter's statement is so good to hear, as she was such an innocent child, with unpolluted by external influences mind.
Your daughter's experience is the most remarkable of all of the NDES, and I've watched hundreds and hundreds of them.
You must be so glad she was able to be send back.
Much love to you both ❤

This doctor is smart. And he’s very respectful to theo for his questions. Never once tried to make Theo look bad or like it was a dumb question. Always acknowledged it and reassured Theo it was a good question. What a salt of earth type of guy
He is a full grown adult for one. Also, he’s selling a book so…
Yeah, but at least to me he seems like a pretty genuine guy.
Absolutely, and I also feel like Theo was very respectful and patient this episode, and asked pretty insightful questions for the most part😀
im also only like 45 minutes in so i've probably spoken too soon
I so want to believe the conclusions of his 'research' given my sister just died of pancreatic cancer BUT HE CANT VERIFY anonymous ONLINE ANECDOTES OF NDE's!???
People fabricate or imagine these experiences for attention, clout, publicity, entertainment; really unreliable foundation on which to basis any thesis.🤷
Theo was so well behaved in this one - it cracked me up because it was kind of like he was in class and respecting the teacher😂

Worked with Dr. Long for a few years with several patients and can testify that he is a good man and was great with his patients. Incredibly knowledgeable and I’m dumbfounded that this is what he was up to in his personal time-I’m glad Theo is giving him a platform to share his studies.
Beautiful ❤
He sure seems like it. I’m a nurse and the healthcare system saddens me more than gives me hope.
@@autumnsantomauroganggang for sure. I wish it would honestly collapse or for the government to decide that if they’re going to be 100% invested in the system to not be 100% paid for by the insurance companies, massive health systems (monopolies/conglomerates), and big pharma to have as much influence as they do.
@@brandonduplantis4079 I’m sure that would help a lot but I’m more so talking at the frontline. So many nurses and doctors don’t care enough to do their job.

Thank you, Theo! Best show ever. I lost my 15 year old son 10 months ago. He was my best friend. I'm completely lost without him. Struggling to find purpose in life. Watching this was comforting. Thank you. Yes, more shows like this would be helpful to mankind. Everyone can benefit. So proud of you! Thank you!
I am so sorry. I can’t imagine what you are going through. You are a strong soul that has been given the greatest test. ❤ I hope he visits you.

I lost the love of my life on 12.27.23 while 5 months pregnant with his daughter. He was my best friend and we were so excited for this next phase of our lives. I have been begging for a sign that hes still with me. I havent received it but being reminded that we'll be together again someday is comforting 😔
Oh Shannon 😢 I wish you a full recovery through and from your grief. ❤
Meditate, empty your mind and listen to
@@camilleespinas2898 listen to?
As much research as I’ve done into this, as well as a spiritual awakening…just know that he is always with you. He will send you signs. Just don’t overthink it. We tend to make excuses & overthinking whether or not something is a sign. Lost my Daddy a couple of years ago. One day I was driving to work and a song came on that we used to listen to together. I was singing out loud and out of nowhere my whole body started tingling, I felt pure joy & happiness and tears were rolling down my cheeks while I had a smile on my face. He was definitely right there in the front seat singing with me that morning. ❤
@@ericarankin1946 oh thank you for this! I have so many moments throughout the day where I think of him, literally everything reminds me of him and I wish he'd come, but you're right I could be overthinking. I just always thought, if anyone were to figure out a way to give me a sign, it would be him. We were so close. Every time I get emotional about it I feel my baby kick so ill take that. ❤
Theo is a paradox in himself, being so unique yet so relatable is wild. Theo is a beautiful human being and I'm thankful that he exists.
He is really something special.
I think people mistake his humility and humor for stupidity when Theo has shown time and time again that clearly he is intelligent
Gay
He's so poetic and comes out with the most beautiful, descriptive analogies. He's so gifted in his analysis and descriptions of things. Dude should try writing.
I wonder if Theo is a big reader or whether this language just comes naturally to him. He's such an enigma😂
@@ryanw724yeah sure…you’re just jealous
Dr. Long was so loving and positive in his responses to Theo going off on rants about drugs and other things. He never told him he was wrong. He just says something like "those are great thoughts." Or "You are certainly on to something, Theo."
You can see how kind and humble he is.
Yes this
He is a man of God. Salt of the earth.
@@aaronalexander2543 Praise God Baby
This was hard for me to watch, Theo had some good questions but he was constantly pulling him away from a story or going in totally random or strange directions
I was thinking the same thing! ❤
The way the gentleman talks to you, mentioning your name especially before answering in a loving way, makes your energy shift to a younger version of you Theo. Someone else hearing that? That’s so healing to watch.
So sweet
He's a child predator
Kind of…. More so in the beginning… seemed like Theo was on drugs for the last hour or so. Talking over the doctor and not letting him complete his stories and thoughts and just ruining the content and conversation
Seems condescending to me.
Very loving fatherly and yet validating communication style. Even if he doesn't agree he humbly says "Interesting idea and I am not aware of that" to validate with grace. ❤
I was drunk as hell with a former friend and we got in a fight. He started choking me and was trying to kill me. I lost consciousness and found myself hovering over my body while it was being choked to death. It was as if somebody had pulled the roof and the walls off the building and everything inside of it and it was just me and him. Everything else was pitch black. I was floating in absolute darkness. I was floating away farther and farther into the darkness. It was by far the most peace I have ever felt. There was no noise. I mean nothing. Absolute dead silence. I got to where I could barely see myself and him and then suddenly I was back in my body and running out the door with him chasing me. The door he had kicked in earlier that night bc he couldn't find his keys. I wouldn't of got out of there if the door was locked. I ran and got away. I believe that once I lost sight of myself while I was floating away, that my life would of been over. It felt as if it was a metaphor for my life being that when i lose sight of myself, im dead inside. That peace I felt was magical. No drug could ever give me that. Took me a while, but I quit drinking 5 years later. I'm 816 days sober today. That experience was life-altering.
Damn this comment was a rollercoaster. Great insight though. Congrats on the sobriety. “Losing sight of myself…” I needed to read that today. Thank you for sharing.
@@DMTsanto I'm glad it helped you out today. 😊
This proves that god is real,
Wow. So happy you we able to come back and grow and learn. Your story is very close to home as I had a similar drunken night that could've ended similarly. Of course I'm thankful it didn't escalate that far, but wow it brought me back to that night and I'm ever so grateful it was resolved before it wasn't. Thank you for sharing this friend. And congrats on alcohol sobriety, we are all in this together!
Congratulations, friend. I'm glad you're fighting the good fight and taking better care of yourself. I'm proud of you, and wish you nothing but strength, peace, and perseverance moving forward. I'm also glad you made it out of that horrible encounter.
"NDE's are like 70's love, 2020 love's been cut with baby powder or something." Love Theo! My 23 year old son was killed by a drunk driver while out riding his motorcycle in 2020. This interview has helped me immensely. See you on the other side sweet Austin, mom xo's
you're amazing Christa. your family are so lucky to have you. bless you and all you love
You might find Dolores Canon's books OR videos very, very helpful.
Hi from Missouri, Austin , see about saying hi to my daddy and GPA and husband. I'd tell you there names but if you're in the Astral you already know
I heard that time is different on the other side. What feels like a long time apart on earth is a short time apart in the next world where your son is ready to greet you once your time comes ♥️
@@whatdoyoulivefor735 If time is, as it seems to be, a concept only in this reality and dimension, it does make sense.
When my mom was dying of pancreatic cancer and bone cancer, one morning I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk, she really didn't want to...she didn't want neighbors to see her in a wheelchair.
We stepped outside and neither one of us has ever seen the most beautiful, bright colors if the grass and flowers. I can't really describe it but we have never seen how beautiful it was outside.
I think we saw how beautiful things are on the other side. I will never forget it.
I think God gave you a sneak peak.
What a tremendous gift that was!
Beautiful memory with your mom💜
That's a shared heightened experience. So beautiful.
Lols… Imagine trying to experience a NDE… Most of us would not want to return to this physical experience. By the way, not every NDE is a good experience. And we must remember that on the other side, there are also unpleasant experiences because of what some see. Bear this in mind. Just think about ⚖️.
I like how the doctor always endearingly says Theo’s name in the end so fatherly & nurturing ❤
That's so interesting because I actually found it to be manipulative and condescending. 🫣 I did like the conversation, though. ❤
@@annemelchiorjensen1112I think he’s just practicing good social skills by using a persons name in a conversation with them
Yes, noticed that. Probably makes him a good teacher.
@@annemelchiorjensen1112holy shit. I wonder if that's due to your life experiences. 🤷♀️ I found the guest to be sincere and genuine.
@@hopemccubbin8661 I agree. I could sense when people are calling you by your name to manipulate you and/or to condescend. Watched the whole podcast and this doctor was genuinely calling Theo by his name. Also a manipulative person wouldn't try that if the conversation is gonna be broadcasted to millions of people.
I am a Palliative Care/Hospice Nurse, as well as a Death Doula and Grief Coach. I have witnessed many deaths over the course of my 20 years, and all have the same pattern and similar experiences when dying. I know what I have seen on this side of the realm, so it makes sense what they see on the other side just before they die. It is the dying’s own reaction to death that makes me not afraid, makes me aware we are safe during death, and that we continue on in another form.
Theo, thank you for this beautiful podcast. Thank you for being open and in tune to this belief, and allowing society to talk about death and not be afraid. Death is beautiful, and I am proud to be a part of the Positive Death Movement ❤️
Do you have any contact information (email) that you'd feel comfortable giving? I'd be interested in talking more.
Why do people wear black at funerals? Maybe it's a reflection of the mindset that death is truly unknown. Darkness is that the unknown
What do they see?
Possitive Death Movement - I like that. ❤
What is a death doula?
Theo doesn’t just march to the beat of his own drum this dude is crip-walking to bagpipes. Truly one of a kind mind and soul
💀 why did I see Snoop Dogg jamming with a Scotsman right then

Such a clever, yet accurate, way to describe Theo!! 😂
This interview gives me so much hope. I want to see my daughter again, not just yet, but to know she and I will be reunited again.... such a relief. I miss her so.
Bless you ❤ you will most definitely see her again, that is the only thing that gets me through grief and death..I feel that is another thing God gives us, hope and some kind of peace that they are safe and in a better place, and that when it's our time to be called home, we will be reunited with those we loved that left before us ❤
My Condolences, I feel the same but with my sister , mom, grandmother
While you are living, if your daughter wasn't an infant...on that I have no experience, but besides that, never assume little things are just coincidences. I know people who wait for a sign and never get one, or so they think. Often times, especially within a month , ( don't get caught up on the time) we receive signs they are overlooked. My personal experience shortened...after my mom passes, I fell asleep on her front room floor. Before dawn, she spoke into my ear and immediately I woke up. I thought she was still here. Her message, I'm at home and I'm alright. Weeks later her favorite cousin contacted me and told me how my mom contacted her. I had never told anyone. Her message was exactly the same, except she called her sweetheart. My father used to collect dimes. I was around 55 and had never found even a penny but whenever life gets crazy, I will find a dime in places that I know could not have been there. Later, I found out those are 2 common messages. But you might just smell her, your keys might get moved, lights flicker, you think about her and suddenly you see her in a crowd or even more common, in dreams that are far more real than normal dreams. There is much more. One caveat here is to be certain that what you experience is not something perfectly normal. You might just need a light bulb, or coins feel out of your pocket or your dream us a regular dream. However, they do often try to let us know that they are alive. We just talk ourselves out of what we can't rationally believe. No matter what, that song is true...your circle can't be broken. Love is eternal. You honor her life by living the best you can. I'm so sorry for your pain.
I promise you you will, and when that day comes, it will all make sense.
You're not the same person you were 10 years ago. Physically speaking, you have a different body, different cells. Cells die and regenerate. So what are you really? A soul with flesh and blood.
My dad had a NDE and has explained to me exactly the same stuff this guy talks about happening countless times. Gives me some great peace
My father told me something very similar during his NDE as well.
Man I tell you I lost my fiance back in October in a car accident we were in. and I been following theo for years. I needed to hear this i laughed and cried. I agree with every word. And there's a bigger picture. Bless you all ❤️🙏🏻
We appreciate you Theo
So sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss and I'm glad this episode made you feel better. If you wanted to check them out, there's near death experience (NDE) videos all over UA-cam. I've watched hundreds of them and they really help me feel better. Take care❤
So sorry for your loss man
So sorry for your loss dude. I know nothing, especially some rando comment on YT, can alleviate that. But I feel for you and am sending love and thoughts and prayers and whatever else your way. Good luck brother. I feel for you, and I cannot even imagine, so... genuinely...sending love and sympathy.
Sending you good vibes, bruh.
Dr Long sounds like a really friendly pastor talking to an extremely creative and curious kid. I love this
Hopefully not too curious.
A pastor? Nah, I don't think so.
@@Mik3E_JDerp
Pastor?
I got that too. The real kind of Christian. Yes I said it. They exist and no I'm not one. But I think he is, the open-minded moral kind type.
Hearing the Dr laugh and then say "in 25 years I've never been asked that" and Theo being like "I'd wear a chef's hat" is why i love Theo.

❤❤❤ Only 4 days past, I lost a very dear and young friend to cancer. We both believed that we knew each other from a past life and that when this over we will meet again. I was asleep with the phone next to me and awoke to this. I truly feel as though it was my friend's way of letting me know he's OK and that we will meet again. I feel it even more after watching you. Thank you so very much!
Beautiful!
Of course you’ll see each other again. There’s no reason why you wouldn’t ❤
Yall will meet again for sure 🤍
My dad passed when i was 15, and i was really sad and worried about where his soul went and if he was in pain. One night about a week after he died , i had this dream that didnt feel like a dream it felt so real, like i was actually there. All i saw was white and gold light, all around me. I couldnt see my arms or legs just light and i felt the safest ive ever felt in my whole life. It was more peacful than words could ever explain. When i woke up i just layed there wondering what it was, still feeling peacful. And i think that was my dads way of showing me he didn't suffer at all and he was safe.
I had a similar experience with our family dog. She lived a long life, but we unfortunately had to put her down as you have to with most old dogs that are suffering from chronic pain and a failing body. Shortly after her passing, I had a dream that I was playing with her in our back yard on a sunny day. Strangely enough, though, she wasn't the old dog that I had remembered, it seemed as if she had reverted to her younger self as a puppy. No longer was she hobbling around from weakened joints and an old body. She ran back in forth in our backyard with the vigor of a much younger dog. I think this was her way of telling me that she was okay and no longer in pain, and to be happy for her passing. I think the dream world is much more than what it's been reduced to.
Was he a Christian?
I had a dream with my father maybe a month and a half after he passed as well! I was younger and he was probably in his 30s and looked very healthy, we are driving up this red dirt road both singing should’ve been a cowboy by Toby Keith. But it didn’t feel like a dream at Simp too real and I remember everything still to this day. my girlfriend woke me up and said that I was singing and starting to cry in my dream as I woke up with tears in my eyes. That was two days before Easter, and when I went to Easter and so my dad side of the family, my aunt which would be sleepy his sister and my uncle, his brother both had dreams within a few days of each other And both said the same thing that my dad looked like he was in his 30s and healthy and told them both that everything is going to be OK and he is all right. My uncle said that he was driving with my dad in the passenger seat on a dirt road as well drinking beers. and then my aunt and real life had to go to the doctor to check out this possibly cancer spot in her neck. The night before she had to go she was very nervous and she had a dream where she got to the doctors office and saw my dad facing the opposite way from her. Looking down at some rocks. she went up to him and asked his name Todd is that you? And she said he turned around and was in his 30s as well and she said that he told her not to worry about him and don’t worry about spot in her neck, everything is going to be OK. The fact that my aunt and my uncle all had these dreams about him and the same time frame and he was in his 30s with all three of us basically giving the same message and even writing and a vehicle on a dirt road and mine and my uncle’s dream makes me think that it was a message.
I feel that your father came to visit you and tell you everything is OK and that is fine the same way my father came and told me. Out of my siblings. I definitely took it the roughest his passing, and I was the closest to him. They say if you can vividly remember and dream that it’s not a dream it’s a message.
Brother I had a similar experience when my mom passed away about 2 years ago. I was an educated atheist, right up until that point. Now I’m not so sure
What a blessing of a human to be a full time doctor and study something so important to humankind
As a hospice/oncology nurse, this is my favorite interview of yours Theo! You highlight issues most of society doesn’t talk about and it’s insane because what is more human than life and death? We prepare so much for birth but rarely for death. Your curiosity & genuineness is so contagious. Thank you!!!
I agree with you 💯
Thank you for your service. 🙏💛 God bless you.
@@lynnwilliams8295 thanks for doing the hard job. Thanks to all nurses!
I really appreciate and respect that Dr Long spends literally all of his time in service to human beings and seems to genuinely care about people
This video is literally a crossing of my two UA-cam obsessions -- NDE info, or NDE testimonies, and Theo Von. Big ups to you Theo, I swear he has the best podcast. Humor, irreverance, right dose of humility, and interesting guests, not just narcisisstic celebs who are trying to promote their tour.
Same!!! Listening to NDEs brings you deep into the heart aye, much love to you!
What are some other good nde sources or channels?
Exactly!!
Same here, went down a deep rabbit hole of NDE stories about a month ago.
@@saintmichael777 Jeff Mara podcast. That's the name of his FluffTube channel
My grandma has often spoken about her NDE during childbirth in the 1950’s. I love to listen to it and believe her experience. Today she was taken to hospital and we have been told she may not make it out. She will hopefully be celebrating her 97th birthday with us all later this week. This episode has brought great comfort and peace at this time ♥️
97 is a beautiful life, i wish you well 🙏. I recently just lost my grandma too.
much love brother
How’s your grandma? Hope all is well. Yes this episode is very comforting for me as well
Thinking of you and your grandma today. Hope all is well 💗
I’ve just seen all these lovely messages of thoughts and well wishes - what kind people you are ♥️ my grandma fought to celebrate her 97th birthday then quietly passed over to the other side. Her life was full and leaves nothing but colourful memories for us all.
I am sending my love to all those going through similar loss and pray for nothing but peace for each of you x
Unbelievable convo. After losing my dad this year, being able to contextualize what he may have experienced, brings me hope and love. Thank you both.
I’m sorry for your loss. Love from Wisconsin ❤
I’m very sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of big hugs friend 💝
Always have hope!
You are loved. We are so sorry for your loss. Nothing can change that and I am working on that! I want to change and fix everything and working on that now in therapy. We can’t change everything. That sucks. But love wins and you’re not alone. I lost my grandfather who raised me a while back and I promise it never goes away. But the memories I have with him bring me the most euphoric feeling (yes, I cry most times when thinking of it) when I close my eyes and be there again. We all have good and bad memories. The best feelings and the worst. But those good feelings can live through you forever. Go to those. I love you and I hope you carry on that man through your love and life. I cried typing this toward the end. I am so sorry for your loss again. But you and me and all of us can win with love and growth. Prayers for you and I have you on my heart (don’t even know you) now. Stay strong and we can get there ❤
Look at the videos by next level soul and his interview of people that have had near death experiences
I had a NDE. It was peaceful darkness. It was so good that I was actually angry / disapointed when the Doctors brought me back to life. My very first thought was: "Man, that was so good, why did you brought me back!?!" Only then I realized : " holy shit I was dead and I am back again.
Now I am not afraid of death anymore and I stopped wanting to die (because od depression).
One of my friends had a heart attack playing softball. The cardiologist said he shocked him back to life more times than any other patient in his career. My friend said the same thing you said; peaceful darkness.
My brother had also NDE experience. He didn't want to come back as well; however, God ordered him back.
Same I was in the black
Yes! I drowned as a kid, I remember going under water and the sun was shining through, got brighter and flash everything went black and I still felt like I was floating but no longer felt physical weight, I just was. And it was comfortable. I felt nothing at all physically or emotionally. It was nice.
Isn’t darkness scary:(
My grandfather was one of them. He “died” and minutes later came back after being led down a very bright tunnel filled with all of our relatives who had passed. They told him not yet. He came back to us and spoke of this daily said goodbye to us for two weeks, lost consciousness then really did die . They told him to come back and visit w us before he was able to leave the earth. Crazy.
Heaven is real
If your a d u m b virtue signaler and you have a near death experience, what are you going to say? I saw nothing? Or that heaven exists and that they saw a light and a tunnel and a bear and a this and a that? Which one is going to make you more friends. There, now you get it. Which "truth" lets you write a book about it and make money? There, now you understand humans.
@@christa526
Obviously. But so is hell.
Fully I haven't heard anyone discuss it. But many have experienced it.
@@jeanalice4732I can’t remember where exactly but on one NDE channel I did hear some people describing their NDE in the other direction. They spoke of hell. Luckily, obviously, they came back and told the story.
These normal down to earth individuals are always the BEST episodes on such thought provoking topics.
Praise god
At 46 minutes in where Theo says Him being here now is proof of an afterlife really blew me away! Hit me right to my core and brought tears to my eyes. Because he's so right that this life in itself is pretty unbelievable so why not have faith in a life after this?! Thanks for the insight, great show my Dude!
I had to explain this to my mother who thought I was a complete atheist but I just really wasn’t sure what to believe at the time. Anyway, to argue against me being atheist I explained to her that the real world and universe we live in now is so magical it would be foolish of me to not believe in an afterlife. I’ve since been leaning closer to a relationship with God and continue being fascinated by everything in our current universe.
@@BigTexGuitarzit seems we are on very similar paths. You've just made it further down the track than I. Since childhood, I've had trouble believing that anything follows this life. I've felt that when we are done, we are done. Maybe it's just a coping mechanism, but I've found great comfort in that nothingness. Eternal rest seems really nice to me after a tiring and often disappointing go at life. I've been called "negative" and "dark" for vocalizing that, but I never thought of it as a bad thing. I don't have all the answers, and I know I very well may be wrong. I just haven't been able to convince myself otherwise. Your comment (and this video) gives me hope that maybe I HAVE been wrong, and there is a higher consciousness, and maybe even a higher power. I'm still not sure what to make of these thoughts, but it's definitely got my wheels turning.
I don't mean to write you a novel. I just feel like maybe you would understand and relate. In any case, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Maybe I can even feel God's love someday. Who knows? Wishing you well on your journey.
My first memory was when I was around 7 and suddenly a thought came to me, “why are we here instead of pure nothingness?” I mean, existence of anything (universe, life) is unbelievable
Theo, I truly believe you have found your calling in this life. You're just natural at conversation and being able to connect with your guests and the audience. You're pure of heart and wear your heart on your sleeve. I'm very proud of you and what you're doing.
I lost my grandfather 9 days ago. This episode is just what my heart and soul needed. Thank you Theo and Dr. Long!
Theo is the only man in the world to ask “have you ever been to Busch Gardens?” in the middle of a serious discussion about NDEs 😭
😂
looked in the comments to see if someone else mentions it and if not i was gonna ask ask about it.. i rewatched that part a few times thinking did i miss something... and the guest didnt react in any way which made it that much more confusing to me. theo said "i love all that kinda stuff".. I'm trying to find a link between nde's and an amusement park
I was literally typing same thing…the afterlife is so beautiful. Yeah, you ever been to Bush Gardens? 😂😂😂 bout fell out of my damn chair! Omg dude, Theo is something else
That fkn no P.I call will always hurt 😂😢
@@fryzsolisgonzales762 no what?

You ever been to Busch Gardens ?, lmao
@@fryonethen the doctor says “guys like us theo” as if they’re the same type of dude
Here’s another example of life beyond the veil.
On 7/18/23 I was one of the first people to come up on a fatal motorcycle crash in northern Idaho.
After my car accident the year before,which resulted in a OBE, I knew the deceased driver was still hovering over the area given that it just happened, so I mentally asked what her name was and “Jennifer” came in loud and clear.
After the press release,it was confirmed that was her name!
No doubt at all that we are eternal spirits having a temporary physical experience.
This Dr. has the best vibe ever. Any questions Theo asked were answered with respect and humility.
Even when the question was stupid. Much respect for the Doctor.
He seems kind and caring ❤
No such thing as a stupid question. It's usually a question more than a few people would like answers to. This is humbley how we learn.
Does anyone else just feel all warm and fuzzy after watching this! What a beautiful wholesome episode. From Scotland!
Exactly.
Coming from Chicago im right with you. I loved this...anyone who is a fan of Theo I am fan of as well
Theo this is amazing content, please keep making podcasts with 'regular' people cause i feel their 'regularity' is much more interesting than celebrities and comedians.
Agreed
Yes!! I couldn't agree more
I so much agree. I loved that recent interview with a traveling carnival worker.
My NDE was in 1987 as a result of severe head trauma, not expected to survive. Everything the Dr described is how it was. No language adequately describes the light, the colors, the lack of pain, and personal enlightenment of NDEs. Thank you for producing this. Just describing my experience brings me back this joy, assurance, and agape love.
how did this NDE shape your life and what advice can you give to the younger generation? ❤️

It’s like afterlife
I’m loving these comments. Rare to see consistent love and intelligence in a comment section these days. Speaks to who Theo attracts in his discourse with different guests. Well done.
Truth facing dialogue is kryptonite to the borg hivemimd types. No branches to hang fear on.
@@shrunkensimonI don't know why but I love that last sentence.
One of my absolute favorite topics to delve into. You keep killin it with the subject matter. It’s fun to have a comedian on but just as cool to have a real person with wisdom to pass on.
@BasedGod-ey5ee I don’t think a near death experience has anything to do with a persons religion. I grew up religious as well opposed most of those views as I entered my 20s
I think as humans we get a lot wrong especially I. Religious teachings/interpretations but when you interview people of all walks of all religions who have the same thing in common but different beliefs and out thousands and thousands they all describe soo many commonalities on what they saw felt and heard… I don’t think that’s a mere figment of their imagination. There are too many factors to it. Describing conversations that were had by doctors when they were flatlined or even in a separate wing …. City or state. When you listen to a whole bunch of those stories of people who do not even know one another and the experience matches up it’s hard to ignore. I also think that being conflicted about any topic is healthy…as long as you don’t straight up avoid the data because of your stance and can keep an open mind.
@BasedGod-ey5eeit’s not ALL bullshit. Delve further into NDE’S. I recommend Next Level Soul podcast.
@@haileyallen3684 it has everything to do with a person's religion. It's why people around the world experience something completely different or nothing at all. I'm not sure why you're under the impression that people's experiences are similar, they aren't. It's the same with psychedelics and people having different experiences. HIs research and book is based solely under Christian, agnostic or atheist patients in parts of the world predominately driven by Christian backgrounds

“The world thinks back at you” is a great way of explaining a lot of psychedelic spiritual experiences.
yup
Seriously- yes!
Theo has always been the best but tonight, his questions were SO on point. I don’t think anyone could have interviewed Dr. Long any better.
Still trying to figure out that Busch Gardens question though 😂
I have had one NDE during a car accident in Feb of 2022, Valentine's Day actually. I was going about 75mph in the left lane and in the emergency lane was a pickup truck that stalled out. I veered off into that emergency lane and hit that truck staright on. The older guy inside it was alright but my car hit him then spun into oncoming traffic which i got hit again then my car flipped over. I was knocked unconscious and what happened during that time ill never forget. I started to float above my body and seen the whole freeway from my view, i seen myself in the car knocked out, the other guy i hit and other cars and then police and fire trucks and ambulance. I thought to myself this is weird! I felt no pain, a peace that i cannot put into words. When theo and the dr were talking about the infinite knowledge, thats exactly right! Then i heard a strong voice tell me it wasnt my time and that i have work left to do here. Then i was slammed back into my body and that actually hurt. The ambulance took me to the ER and they said i was clinically dead for about a minute and a half. That day changed my life forever. No longer am i a mean person or a liar or a cheat, i take this precious life that God gave me and help others and do good instead of how i used to be. It was a blessing in disguise!
God bless you ...
My son has leukaemia he is only 5 and hearing the description of what people see when they pass I sobbed like a baby .
Couldn’t imagine I to have a 5 year old son and daughter and they are my world ! Prayers for you and your boy I pray god heals his body!!🙏🏽 But yes hearing about it is astonishing couldn’t imagine it but same time you kind of can’t wait to ! And it’s good to know there is no sadness for that human but truly happiness! And just knowing we will see our loved ones again
I'm sorry for your pain. God bless 🙏
I rarely share this, but when I got saved I was so grateful I would weep and cry before the Lord constantly for hours I would just worship him and thank him I was so incredibly grateful and one time I had been worshiping him for hours almost 4 hours. When all of a sudden I was in heaven and the beauty the flowers I saw are nothing like you see here and the air literally made this almost like a tingling sound it was almost musical I could hear it very faint I don't know what kind of instrument it could have been but it was incredible and then I was back in my body and worshiping the Lord. It truly is beautiful and full of a kind of love that you've never experienced before that's so overwhelming that floods over your soul
Please keep the faith and search for alternative treatments like CAR-T, young children beat it almost in 98 percent of cases. I am sure your precious child will recover. Bless you both
I had a nde when I was 17, I experienced the most loving presence I was totally immersed with and part of… like I imagine the LOVE of a divine presence ❤🙏
Dr. is the sweetest soul and his reactions to Theo were absolutely adorable. Loved this episode, can’t wait to check out his book.
I never had a NDE, but I had an experience after my brother passed tragically when I was 16. About 3 week later, I awoke due to a bright light shining into my room. When I walked into our kitchen, he was standing the smiling at me. He was happy, and looked at peace. He had the beautiful, warm light around him. I was stunned, and said “I thought you were dead?” He just smiled at me and said “it’s not like that, you don’t die”. I just starred at him, and finally told him that I love him. He walked over to me and lightly punched me in my arm (like he use to commonly do). Then we were sitting on our couch and I was begging him to tell me what happened to him. His death was suspicious and we were trying to figure out who did this to him. He told me not to worry about that anymore, he was ok. I asked him again, and the phone rang. He talked for a couple seconds and told me he had to go. He got up to walk into another room and I asked him to stay. He turned around and smiled and said “Don’t worry, I’ll see you again”. He turned and walked into the other room. I was crying and jumped up and ran after him. He was gone. Instantly, I was sitting up in my bed with tears already streaming down my face. Then I realized it was a dream, but it didn’t feel like a dream at all. It feel so real, vivid, and unexplainable in many ways. I’ve never had another experience like that one.
What a blessing!!!
God gave you that dream my friend and you did see your son. Don't let anyone tell you different. I've had a NDE and 4 or 5 years before a dream like that of two other loved ones❤
What a beautiful experience to have. I had something like that y after my mother passed, a couple of times. That a visitation within a dream as opposed to just a regular dream. It was done like that so it wouldn't scare you as much, or make you as uncomfortable. And they’re so special to have. Talk to him, and see if he’ll come back for another.
The Toltecs believe that we are dreaming 24/7. There is no separation between the "waking" dream and the "sleeping" dream.
Your brother is correct. "It's not like that, you don't die."
Thank you for sharing your story, it sounds beautiful❤
I just wanted to say that I’ve had dreams where I was visited by deceased loved ones, and some of them don’t feel like dreams. I think they do visit us that way sometimes.
I genuinely love Theo's interviews, especially with normal people (not celebrities). He's an open spirit and genuinely curious about everything. So many professional interviewers are neither.
I have died and experienced soo much of what he’s talking about. This podcast gave me such a sense of peace that I am not the only one that has experienced what he explains. Ten minutes in while driving I had to pull over and breath hearing this is something that the majority has experienced as well. Thank you Theo. Been watching you for 5-6 years noe frequently. So thank you brother for this pod
Have that experience faded over time or you can still pretty much recall what happened with the same intensity?
Hey Tim. If you liked this podcast I think you might benefit from a couple of UA-cam channels who interview people about NDEs. Just search for it and you'll see plenty of them. I hope this helps. :)
it’s all right under our noses. we seek and seek for knowledge. we are light tethered into a human vessel, experiencing life. unconditional love.
It's all energy. The Universe is all about sharing energy.
Read the Bible. It plugs in so much.
Yes, you have the Bible to thank for it.
as someone who’s been struggling with the grief of my mom this has given me such a profound amount of peace. i’ve been struggling with my own anxieties of the afterlife to the point where it’s kept me up many nights, but this was such wonderful food for thought. I can’t express my gratitude enough for this video.
Dealing with the passing of my mom as well. This was a fantastic episode for sure.
Hope you are well ❤ your mum is watching always!
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Nobody gets to the Father but through Him. God bless ❤
Your name is compelling, what’s behind it ???
I didn't want to click on this video thinking that it would be some conspiracy infested voodoo talk. What I got instead is an incredibly soul-filling and profound conversation. I love how vulnerable and contemplative Theo is, and Dr. Long is brilliant and comes off as so kind and curious. Whether Dr. Long is correct or not, their discussion seems to reach at our fundamental truths regardless. So beautiful one of my favorite episodes.
I love seeing men like Theo taking seriously the work to evolve into our best selves. Balance and compassion, curiosity and humility.
He's always about love 💕 and compassion.
Beautiful!
Just listening to people talk about NDE have lessened my anxiety tremendously, and so have you! Perfect combo!!! ❤
Me too because I'm so terrified of being unconscious for the rest of eternity
It's a real experience. It's not bad, very wonderful, but you could come back paralyzed.
Damn when Theo said “crazy how we have to almost die to get a message on how to live” hit so hard
This episode really helps those who suffer from depression 🙏🏽 theres a bigger meaning
Every time I try to show my depressed friend a near death experience report, he falls asleep 💀
@@VisibletoanyoneonUA-camsit’s because in day to day, it seems unlikely then at the worst point you just wish it is but know it’s not
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporesss
When I died at the age of seven, I floated up through a tower located on the roof. To validate, I looked up the hospital in Santa Rosa California where I died and sure enough, there was a tower on the roof of the hospital. I was dying when i arrived at the hospital, had never been there before. I didn't see the tower until I floated through it.
That completely validates your experience.
Can you remember any more, please?
Thank you so much if you could find time to share more.
@@E-Kat I had just turned seven when I arrived at the hospital while in the process of dying from pneumonia. I was placed in an oxygen tent, as part of my treatment. I couldn't see anything though the walls of the tent that was dripping with condensation until I floated up over my body. At that point I could see Nuns praying around my bed before I floated up to the ceiling and through a tower, as I mentioned. I didn't know the tower was there when I arrived at the hospital.
After floating beyond the tower I entered a tunnel...at that point I was terrified and in denial, I didn't know what was going on. I came out of the tunnel to see humans greeting me. The lead greeter told me he was my deceased grandfather and hugged me, calming me down. A light appeared encourageing me to move on from him, but I wanted to stay with him. My grandfather told me I had to go.
I moved forward in the love and light and found myself in a meadow with a bench. I saw a city to my right and started to walk across the meadow towards the city when someone grabbed my hand and told me I had to go back. That somebody was Jesus. I refused.

Please let me know if you have questions or comments.
Theo's curiosity and genuine character are what makes him so loveable! Thanks for all the variety of guests
Love Dr Long's patience and positive replies to every query from Theo, regardless of depth or content of question. Very professional and genuine.
I could use a teacher or counselor like that. 🙂 Or just a friend. (I have good friends but just saying).
I think this technique would be awesome with kids and teens. Especially if they come from an at-risk background. They would have never had that kind of attention just for them probably.
My father experienced NDE when he had a heart attack back in 1988. He’s almost 80 now and still works 60+ hours a week. I had an out of body experience at my wife’s funeral in 2012. I don’t recall leaving my body or returning to it. I just remember floating near the ceiling looking down on everyone for what felt like about a minute or so. The details and memory of that are just as vivid today as it was when it happened.
you should fill the form out.
I've seen this doctor intervied by so many people but I've never laughed until I saw this one. I love you Theo, you're a bright light in this world. Thank you for bringing joy into our lives
Theo is so unique with his podcast. He just does whatever he's interested in and it's always a hit
Yeah. Good observation 7 years later!!!!!
The sense of peace, is overwhelming. No fear, no loss, no sadness. Just warm light, an ethereal glow that envelopes you. It's beautiful.
Two different types of geniuses having a conversation is something to behold.
Had to put my dog down the other day due to severe cancer/abdominal bleeding. I know the studies were about people, but this podcast was surprisingly comforting about death.
❤
Aww I had to put my pup down a few weeks ago. It's the hardest thing you ever have to do but the hope that yours and my pup is over the rainbow bridge no longer in pain and full of life is what gives me so much comfort. We will see them again.
❤
@@nadinedaniel5249
The Rainbow Bridge was written by a Scotsman in 1890. So the poem has been around about 120 years and that poem Conjured up an imaginary place in people's mind that would be a pet heaven and so for 120 years that imaginary flictitional place Rainbow Bridge became to represent pet heaven but now like Disneyland they, we've made it a place that is heaven
The Rainbow Bridge is nothing more or less than "as chicken soup for the soul. #Wakeup
@@M123-w1s wow imagine being so miserable with your own life that you would totally say something like this and for what?? For what purpose than to be nihilistic and negative? So what if that gives someone comfort. I truly feel sorry for people like you
Love how he moves Theo along…. “Well Anyway”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When he said that, I cackled. 😆❤️
It's always a pleasure to watch a highly intelligent person speaking with Theo... Specifically, watching their faces as he flawlessly shocks them, after saying the most ridiculous things and then laying down a profound perception that only he would think of... I don't think I'll ever get tired of that...
Gosh, I don't know what you think of Theo?
"That's what Destin feels like, you ever been to Destin?" so true Theo
Theo, this podcast is helping me figure out the battles I’ve been faced with since I became conscious. Thinking we just end up in a black hole and we never get to see our families again has been the root to my worry and anxiety.
I can’t thank you enough for what you do
Check out next level soul, he interviews a lot of people who've had near death experiences. His channel has brought me so much comfort and relief.
Not sure this relates, but when I was 4yrs old, i was having a major spinal surgery. I was completely out during the operation. However, when I awoke, I kept saying "daddy ran me over with a tractor". After the surgery, I was unable to walk and had to relearn. I'm 30 now and don't have any memory of it, but I can just vaguely remember a dream of my father and his blue tractor. My parents still dont understand the dream, neither do I. Just strange I was completely out during my surgery, but had a dream that my legs didnt work anymore (tractor running me over) and then woke up with my legs not working.
Crazy.
P.s. though I do have lifelong issues due to the surgery, I was able to relearn to walk, played ice hockey, had children, etc. I'm very lucky.
I’d love to know just what dr longs dinner table talk was like after this interview. His reactions to Theos candid comments are priceless! Love it
My step father spent weeks in coma after clinical death and major brain injury. He was describing it as enormous expansion of consciousness, he was able to leave his body regarding to the level of physical pain he felt. Also he was able to recognize nurses and another people right after he woke up. He couldn’t even speak and talk when he woke up, now he’s absolutely normal and healthy, miracle.
I love that Theo has interesting people on, not just comedians and I also still LOVE the intro song. It encapsulates Theo & his podcast perfectly! Glad he kept it 💗
the "normal" guests are always way more interesting than the comedians. except shane. shane and theo should have a weekly pod.
That Bishop Gunn song is a WHOLE VIBE
It fits his show and him so well it's wonderful
I love the intro song too. It is perfect 💛
My mother passed away last December,. I couldn't be with her because I'm in a nursing home, trying to walk again. Anyway, my brother visited our mother the night before she died. She told my brother that our father came to see her. Our father died in 1971, when I was 5, my brother was 11 and our sister was 25. I wasn't surprised because I am a person of faith.
I was too.young to understand death when my father died , but I obviously have a real comprehension with the loss of 4 aunts, 4 uncles , 3 cousins and both grandparents on my mother's side. That doesn't make me miss my mother any less.
I have horrible death anxiety and have been dealing with it a lot recently...so thank you so much for doing this, Theo. This was awesome to listen to.
Find God. I didn’t believe in God but the more I looked into the best arguments for theism vs atheism the more i realized there’s so much evidence God exists. Although you can’t prove he exists. Just so you know the bible is the oldest preserved book of antiquity we have so many different manuscripts which strengthen its validity.
Same... Surviving Death on Netflix is helpful too
@@mycrazylife408 They say 10-15 minutes is how long it takes for a dying brain to totally shut off. The Dr. here moved very quickly to shut that idea down for good reason, it threatens his whole belief system and what his career is about at this point. He is not just following data, he seems clearly biased, and is now pursuing what to him is a foregone conclusion. Anyway, that 10 to 15 minutes, that could be several lifetimes in an 'afterlife', even eons, seemingly, which is quite possibly just an intense altered state brought on by the chemicals released during death. Some say DMT (the primary active agent in ayahuasca, as Theo mentions) floods the system when this happens. There is a BIG difference between someone doing DMT sober, not dying, and the natural DMT in our bodies FLOODING one's system during death. Anyway, if true, that explains a lot. What I'm saying is, that state could be heaven or any type of afterlife. An illusory heaven brought on by what the person believes. People tend to see what they want to see or what their subconscious believes when they have NDE's no? Even many staunch athiests have a hidden 'what if' compartment or secretly want to believe or get scared in their final moments and desperately want their to be an afterlife. That explains all the different things people see. If you google around you can find a lot of researchers and scientists finding out results that contradict some of the things this doctor is saying. For example, 'the light' that people see has been explained away by some science as a result of a final burst of brain activity in the moments before total brain death (meaning ZERO activity on any level).
@@mycrazylife408proof: trust me bro
I have went through more than you people. And you guys are kidding yourselves. I wish I was so weak that I belief in nonsense to make myself feel better. But I can't. Because it's stupid.
I've had a near death experience. I've half written it on his web page and will finish it tomorrow. I completely relate to this whole podcast. I can't wait to share my story but I've got work in the morning. And trust me, I'm lucky to be alive to tell this story. I had the 'option', and I chose, and remember like it was yesterday, to give it another go on earth, even though the other option to carry on down the tunnel seemed a much easier option. This whole podcast has reminded me just how lucky I am, and how happy and fortunate I am with an amazing family, great job, and the rest of my life to look forward to. But I no longer fear Death. All is OK in the end, I know this for fact!
You must still be here to do some good before leaving
You just described my experience to a t that is wild I've never heard of anyone else given an option
@@forsakennihilist4524I think we were all given the option/choice at birth, we just don’t remember it. By definition, you can’t remember the pinpoint/singularity/oneness of death because memory is rooted in language, and language is binary at its simplest. We even choose our characters imo, although I don’t see it like we preplanned each of our characters, it’s more like a daily choice to choose who you’re going to be.
I had a strange experience with this, as I recall the stage of choice, and I chose to let go. I was content with things after the "evaluation" of my life, and genuinely thought the choice I made was final. But, despite taking a different route, my end result was also a lack of fear of death. Unfortunately almost inviting of it. Wild how it all happens when the chips are *really* down, haha. I'm glad the experience had positive outcomes for you.
Fascinating! There are more similarities between NDE and DMT experiences than this fine gentleman has witnessed. Other than that, i am fascinated. Thank You
For the 9/11 question he had, there’s a guy on UA-cam who tells a story about how one of the “falling souls” came to him after he hit the ground and thanked him for witnessing his death. He said he saw the souls leaving their bodies about 40 feet above the ground before their bodies hit the ground. I’m choosing to believe him so I can sleep at night.
That was a hypothetical. He didn’t say he actually saw there physical souls, it was all “as if” scenarios.
I believe that’s what happens to a lot of people when it comes to imminent death from blunt force trauma. The soul is snatched out from their bodies like milliseconds before impact.
I think it is mercy that the creator has put in place.
Can you direct me to that video. My cousin perished in tower1 from the 1st plane strike. Worked on 98th floor. Would love to watch that video
@@UA-camsucks777 I can’t find it. It was very short and very randomly came thru my feed.
thats a cool thought honestly@@bmentlow
I have had three near-death experiences in my life due to a severe chronic autoimmune disorder that nearly killed me.
In all three of them, I was on the verge of dying.
Then, 6-12 hours later, after being rushed to the emergency room and receiving surgery, I woke up.
It was if that time did not exist at all.
It was still very comforting and I do not fear death at all. I didn't exist for the overwhelming majority of however long you are convinced the universe has existed, and I will not exist after my death.
My life is the anomaly. My nonexistence is the default state. Dying is like a journey back, like I was a drop of water that was lifted out of the ocean ever-so-temporarily, and then returned to it.
Once again, Theo has an amazing guest, fascinating topic. Great questions. I hope lots found this comforting Been an RN for 25 years, hospice specialist for 3. Many folks that can still speak start seeing loved ones weeks before starting to transition ( Real hospice terminology for beginning to pass) It is such a comfort. Many will reach out or pick at the air. ( plucking at angels) Minutes to seconds before, so many have let us know what they are experiencing is beautiful, comforting and they will be okay. From sitting straight up and kissing their loved ones, to having a huge smile, telling us “ it’s so beautiful “ and so much more. Never been religious, but its an honor to be taught by my patients that no matter what your beliefs are, there is something amazing after this life.
Theo, you help so many people by tackling what can be tough/ intimidating or once taboo subjects. We all are learning and growing with you, Dude. Thank you
Thank you for your service. 💛🙏
I like that “transition “ ❤❤❤
Theo Vons podcast has done more for my relationship with God than church ever has
Shocking you did an episode on this. Been obsessed with NDE content lately.
Super cool Theo. Thank you
Check out Gary Habermas. He also did quite a bit of research into NDEs. Fascinating stuff
SAME! I’ve been obsessed with them lately too. Such an awesome synchronicity that Theo happened to release an episode on the subject
Me toooo!! Because the evil and toxicity is so apparent here these days. We crave love and bliss!’
Pim van Lommel has and amazing scientific article I think you might love to read. It's called Non-Local Consciousness.
I felt same way lol been obsessed with nde for decade
This Dr seemed like a lovely man- he was extremely patient as well
My sister passed unexpectedly on January 2nd, she was 42. They coded her for 1.5 hours. My niece (my living sister’s daughter) constantly talks about Tara hearing angels singing, that the music was so beautiful.
I’m a RN, I’ve assisted with end of life care which truly is an honor. But knowing my sister is so young and this happened so tragically for no reason… this is the interview I needed to hear.
I know she is on the other side & feel her so easily, like I could ask her ‘what happened?’ And can hear her telling me.
She is with you every moment, helping you ❤
I’m wondering if you hear your sister say “that’s the way it was supposed to be”. Sorry for your loss and still so raw 😢. I’m sure you hear your sister answer you, it’s a telepathy used in the other realm are sometimes able to connect through our conscience whether awake or sleeping, trust in your inner voice.
For a better understanding; Watch Next Level Soul Host Alex Ferrari and guest Titled : Vincent Tolman clinically dead 45 minutes, wakes up in a body bag!
His NDE is one of the most profound experience I’ve seen..
He’s done a couple of interviews with a different host both are incredible interviews
Prayers for peace and strength
Covid shot. I’m sorry. It’s happening the world
Listen, she’s talking! So sorry for your loss ❤
I lost both parents. This gave me gratitude knowing they are in an "unearthly calm place". They both wanted that...
they love you and knew you’d do great here before you meet again
You will see them again for sure. Much love
Wow. Your comment made me think what happens to a child born to two parents who want out? Does that carry down? If we understood that we will make our children feel the same way will that make us seek help?
I laughed so hard at Theo’s version of a collage dream. You’re hanging with your buddy, then you have a snake, then you look into a window, then everybody hates you. 16:50
That was hilarious!
it was so off the cuff i laughed so hard
“Then you have to go home cause you did something” that got me 😂😂
I just discovered Theo and he is so fucking funny lol
Yes! He came up with all that wayyyyy too fast.😅😅
My brother passed in April 21st, that day/night, I didn't want to be alone, so I filled my time with friends etc. I get home sleep and had a dream that some one called me and said, my brother passed away, I said no he didn't and went deeper in my sleep. About 5 mins later, my sis in law called me and told me my brother passed away. I was so upset/confused/ sad all at one time. I feel it was his way of telling me his gone , to get me prepared for the reality of it being true, the only hope I have is that I will see him again and apologize for not being the best person I can for him, love you brother, till we meet again ❤❤❤
You post I click. I'm a simple man
You already know it's worth it
Theo is the GOAT
He posts I click. I am a simple woman 😊
My two fathers are straight
Same
I had one when i was in a car accident. I was broke from the lower spine to my ankles, and i didn't feel pain. I dont remember hearing anything. I felt warm blood dripping down my face, and i told myself, "im going to die." But i wasn't scared or panicked. Today, im afraid of how calm i was. We dont remember being born, and i dont think we will remember dying.
This is the cutest more wholesome man I’ve ever seen. As someone who suffers from horrible anxiety - the way he talks is so damn calming to me.
big david attenborough vibes for sure
I've been an addict for 27yrs now i was clean for 10yrs but after losing my 19yr old daughter, fiancée of 16yrs & Nana (the only mother I've ever had) i relapsed & I'm struggling & seems that i can't get the help to get clean again & deal with all the trauma since childhood which is extensive. I'm just about at the end of my tether. I can't take much more, 1 step forward & 10 steps back. I love the fact that people have got through this horrible affliction as what people don't understand is that it's not a choice it's an illness. Well done, heartfelt wishes & keep up the good work 👏 ❤️
Keep telling yourself that or chose to face the wreckage head on. Don't run away, run foward
Keep loving and moving forward no matter what!
Take it easy…
Theo always cracks me up with some of the stuff he says. I'm glad Dr.Jeffrey was able to quickly pull him back to the conversation.😂
YES I LOVED IT
Lol um that's a very nice way to put it. Good lord. Does this dude ever talk about anything other than DRUGS??? 🤪 Sad statement on our culture that he has 2 million subs.🤡🤦♀️
