My daughter had an NDE that led my entire family to the Catholic church! She was 3yo when it happened. Our mother held her in her arms 😭😍 She also met Jesus and pointed him out as the divine mercy Jesus painting. Jesus promised her she would be healed of something at a specific time and it came true at that exact timing! It was years later and very hard to be patient and I was very skeptical but it really came to fruition. I'm still in awe. We were all atheist.
Wow❤️✝️
Keep telling this story to people u meet especially atheists and protestants
Wonderful testimony
God bless you dear ❤️Ⓜ️✝️
Mr Akin - studying NDEs over the last few months was a substantial factor in leading me back to the faith. Excited to hear this one. Anxiously awaiting your books, and thank you again.
Hope you enjoy them and find them useful! God bless you!
@@JimmyAkinhave you done any follow-up now that the aware 2 study is out? Your ability to memorize the most relevant issues in any field of study are a great treasured.
I hope everyone who has listened to this fascinating episode of Jimmy's mysterious world on NDEs enjoyed this as much as I have. The possible explanation of the NDE is it is the grace of final penitence offered by the Mercy of God when a person is dying. How wonderful. I 'll buy this explanation. Thank you Jimmy and Dom.
What seems most extraordinary is that it's been verified that 80% of blind people (even those born blind) "see" during their NDE. In fact, those who were born blind see for the very first time and provide veridical data in doing so. This simply cannot be explained and shows that consciousness / the soul does indeed continue after brain death. I would also recommend Fr Robert Spitzer's talk on NDEs. Fascinating stuff!
Yeah, I am surprised that he didn't go into that(if he did, not a lot)
That’s crazy if true, considering blind people don’t see in their dreams
@@lucidlocomotive2014 yes, it's been verified
@christohrichthonfen1241
I prefer to go by what Father Robert Spitzer says on NDE.
I was waiting for this topic. Nice! I'd like to see something on people who claim knowlege of their "past lives" and claims of reincarnation in general. It's a common, if vague belief of the vaguely spiritual.
I’m just discovering this podcast, and it’s one of my favorites! I have one minor criticism of this episode though. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t remember hearing the possibility being mentioned that SOME of these experiences could be demonically inspired. If you did mention it then I apologize, as I was listening to this at work lol. Anyways, I’m specifically referring to the instances where people mention that the being of light they saw either directly told them or implied to them that everyone goes to the happy place. You mentioned people being less afraid of death, and I think in some instances this can be dangerous if they’re led to believe that all go to heaven and there is no such thing as sin and judgment. I’ve heard of some people recounting those types of experiences as well. This is also evidenced by the fact that many of these people end up with a New Age-y world view afterwards, which is not in accordance with Christianity. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on this, and if you’ve already addressed this then please point me to those resources as well. Keep up the great work!
I agree that Pluto is a planet, in fact I had a university Professor, who is legit astronomer, who complained about the IAU saying that it wasn't a planet, he said they had no good reason to say that. It was also useful having a native Greek speaker for your astronomy teacher.
Really enjoy the show. Topic suggestion: Saint Malachy and 112th pops. Thanks.
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks Jimmy for another great episode!
This was a very good summary of this phenomenon. Very interesting
Always enjoy listening to Jimmy!
Hey. #27! Happy 6 month (1/2) anniversary Mysterious World. Yay! 😎😎😎😎
Thank you Jimmy and Dom
Thanks so much Dave, and thank you for noticing! I meant to mention it on the show, but it escaped me. :-)
Hello, Jimmy.
I enjoy your presentations. They are very informative and insightful.
Can you do a show or presentation on the visionare, Emmanuel Swedenborg? Did he have genuine visions? Was he psychotic? Was he a deceiver? To what extent does his teachings contradict the doctrines of the Christian Faith?
Have there been studies on distinct experiences by Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Atheists?
Please do a video on Fatima
Happy May 13, the day of the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima.
Surely the faculties of the soul operate even the brain is disabled. And how can a person see and hear things when out of the body and thereby deprived of all their senses?
Because the brain isn't the source of hearing and sight. The brain is only a tool the soul uses. This is shown in healings at Lourdes, where people with still disabled eyes can see, anda person whose xray still shows a broken back can walk normally.
There is some logical explanation how can the soul remembering and thinking without the brain or even seeing and hearing without eyes and ears?
The faculty of intellect lies in the soul. The brain is simply a mediating organ between the bodily senses and the soul.
Rich man and Lazarus: is it a parable tho?
What do you think of Father Spitzer using NDE stories as evangelization evidence?
I haven't read his treatment of them, but I think that there is apologetic potential in the NDE phenomenon. Too much should not be made of them, but neither should too little. They have a legitimate place in the discussion, and this place will grow if we can rigorously document cases of paranormal knowledge associated with them.
Father Spitzer rocks!
@Dave Gill Spirituality is an aspect of religion, if someone says they're spiritual but not religious, my only ascertainment is that they are a ghost. By the way, good job in your use of the English language , because you know insulting people is a way to prove your point. I'll go with my Bible on the definition of religion, as stated in James chapter 1 verses 26 and 27. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1:26-27&version=RSVCE&interface=amp
@Dave Gill is really boring
@Dave Gill
You sound more than just non-religious. You sound anti-religious. Which makes it hard to see how a conversation would be worth it.
Also, just because NDE are not particular to a religion, does not mean a religious person using them in a collective case for their religion. Definitely does not mean it is horsesh*t
Aussie here, ive never heard a single person say "everything is bonza" 😅
Itd be more like "yeah, na, not a worry"
Love you too Don...
Another interesting episode. This series is the gift that keeps on giving. (But pret-er-natural? I've always said it as pre-ter-natural. My whole life is a lie!)
For me , I was watched doctors working on n my body to take out my children, they need to let me sleep during the C-Section.
I heard that the machine works, like they are sucking out the blood and water. I don’t know how long I watch, maybe few minutes, then my soul flying in the air and it was dark.
After awhile, there was a forced drag me into the tunnel. At the end of tunnel, there was a person doing like call me to step over the boundaries to that place, I saw a ladder on the right and peoples steps up, and on the right I saw the abyss and nobody steps down the abyss,
Stood there for awhile, I heard a voice that calling me to wake up, a voice call many times and like a light, I was going back to my body and I open my eyes and I saw husband sitting next to my bed calling me
This was in 1998
I, too, had an OBE under general anaesthesia during Csection
I wonder if Jimmy has an opinion on the case of an NDE described in the book "Heaven is for Real." I read it last year and had mixed feelings about it. Thanks!
There is one clear error in this interview. The interviewer states that dreams occur in real time, and a dream that covers five minutes of time took five minutes to occur. He does not give a source for this opinion, but I personally know it to be wrong. I once had a dream in which the phone was ringing, and I could not answer it. It was a typical frustration dream, and the phone rang many times. When I finally awoke, my phone was ringing. I answered it, only to have the person tell me I had answered it on the first ring. A long sequence of events can occur in a fraction of a second in a dream, because the entire sequence is a single thought.
What would happen if a person was not aware of any mortal sins on their soul, but still received a negative NDE of them going to hell.
What would be the proper way for them to assess that?
Our awareness or lack of awareness does not indicate the objective existence or nonexistence of a thing. Since it's a NEAR-death experience it might be meant to help the person develop an informed and sensitive conscience.
Cross that bridge if you come to it. Why wonder about something that may never occur.
Great show! Fascinating topic--I look forward to your second show on this.
>> How do the NDEs of hell comport with the descriptions of hell from Fatima?
Jimmy, i have a book called " proof of heaven" its by Eben Alexander M.D. A neurologist. He seemed pretty sincere.
I love you Jimmy
Do you have D.B. Cooper on the list of possible episodes ?
DB Cooper is on the list. :-)
I'd like that
@@JimmyAkin y'all get on that!
I never believed the Malarkey story. It always seemed fake to me.
Why does the scientist suddenly talk about christianity/ Bible like that is the truth? And why is he saying that the budist is wrong..... ? Maybe I misunderstood? English is not my first language.
Hello, Roy! Your English is very good! Thanks for watching and for commenting! Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World is a show that examines mysteries using *both* reason (such as science or historical investigation) *and* faith. Since I'm a Catholic Christian, that is the faith that the show uses when doing faith-based examinations. Even if you're not Christian, though, we hope you enjoy the show and what it has to say about the mysteries from the reason (science, history) perspective--as well as what a Catholic Christian would have to say from the perspective of faith. :-)
Zacarias said Jesus would dawn on those ... in the shadow of Death.
TheMalarkey story was lacking authenticity. I’ve seen the same thing on online testimonies.
Not sure if you’ll see this but I’m confused by something you said.
I don’t remember the exact wording but you said something like “even if they are true it wouldn’t undermine the Christian faith”
As someone who is now a catholic but used to not be, if a significant portion of NDEs are true then it absolutely would undermine the catholic faith. The sheer number of NDEs that do not jive with Christian theology is staggering. If we are to believe that they aren’t total fabrications or incredibly muddied by the brain then by the most charitable interpretation these people are being lied to by supernatural entities after they die but before they encounter Christ and judgement, which seems like an incredibly cruel thing for god to allow to happen.
Thoughts?
Surely, you're aware that many people concoct elaborate LIES to discredit the Church
Philadelphia project next ?
It's not next up, but it is on the list. :-)
@@JimmyAkin Absolutely love the series. Great idea and execution.
@@temp911Luke Thanks so much! We try hard, and we're constantly looking for ways to improve the show. We implemented several ideas in our March recording session today, and I've already added new touches for April going forward. :-)
