This week I'm reading from Dr. Yvonne Kason's book 'Soul Lessons from the Light: How Spiritually Transformative Experiences Changed my Life'.

Dr. Yvonne Kason is one of a rare breed, a medical doctor who had multiple Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs), including 5 Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). In Soul Lessons from the Light, Dr. Kason intimately shares her fascinating and inspiring stories and lessons learned in her own spiritual awakening journey. From a Kundalini Awakening in medical school, to a plane-crash NDE as a young doctor, to a mystical experience that propelled her to come out of the closet and specialize her medical practice in STEs, to powerful mystical experiences in Israel that changed her life. Dr. Kason also shares the moving story of her miraculous brain-healing, and the 2019 STE that inspired her to found Spiritual Awakenings International®. She introduces the beautiful “Purifying the Heart” model, to understand the stages that spiritual seekers move through. Soul Lessons from the Light is an inspirational must-read for spiritual seekers everywhere.

In recent weeks, I've been thinking about a few standout episodes from the early days of the podcast. They are full of great information and I thought it would be a good idea to share them again for listeners who may have missed them the first time around.

This episode dates back to October 2018. It features my conversation with Howard Storm about his profound Near Death Experience and his book titled 'My Descent into Death: and the Message of Love Which Brought Me Back'.

For years Howard Storm lived the American dream. He had a fine home, a family, and a successful career as an Art Professor and painter. Then, without warning, he found himself in hospital in excruciating pain, awaiting an emergency operation. He realised with horror that his death was a real possibility, but as an atheist he was convinced that his demise would mark the end of consciousness.

Storm was totally unprepared for what was to happen next. He found himself out of his body, staring at his own physical form. But this was no hallucination; he was fully aware and felt more alive than ever before. In his spirit form, Storm was drawn into fearsome realms of darkness and death, where he experienced the terrible consequences of a life of selfishness and materialism. However, his journey also took him into regions of light where he conversed with angelic beings and the Lord of Light Himself, who sent him back to live on earth with a message of love.
My Descent into Death is Howard Storm's full story: from his near death experience in Paris to his full recovery back home in the States, and the subsequent transformation of his life. Storm also communicates what he learned in his conversations with heavenly spiritual beings, revealing how the world will be in the future, the real meaning of life, what happens when we die, the role of angels, and much more. What he has to say will challenge those who believe that human awareness ends with death.

Howard Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death's door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going "toward the light," he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail.

Finally, drawn away from death and transported to the realm of heaven, Storm met angelic beings as well as the God of Creation. In this fascinating account, Storm tells of his "life review," his conversation with God, even answers to age-old questions such as why the Holocaust was allowed to take place. Storm was sent back to his body with a new knowledge of the purpose of life here on earth. This book is his message of hope.

"This is a book you devour from cover to cover, and pass on to others. This is a book you will quote in your daily conversation. Storm was meant to write it and we were meant to read it."

This week I am talking to Dr. Deborah King about her Near Death Experience.

Bio
I am an advanced practice registered nurse (clinical nurse specialist) with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Clinical practice and education have been my passion for over four decades. I have tried to integrate spirituality into my practice of holistic caring and teaching---although my traditional training often fell short in providing me with the tools needed to do so.  I experienced many "unexplained" but very real, powerful encounters with the spiritual realm during my years of work as a nurse and psychotherapist in critical care, hospice, mental health, grief, trauma, and behavioral medicine.  However, a powerful near-death experience (NDE) of my own brought spiritual insight and lessons that I could have never learned in all of my years of clinical experience---or in any textbook or degree program. It changed my life, and deeply transformed me both personally and professionally.
On December 15, 2008, while newly grieving the loss of my father, I experienced a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) while at home, just a few hours after visiting his gravesite for the first time since his death.  I did not have a "heart attack," had no interruptions of blood flow to my heart or muscle damage, and had no traditional risk factors for such an event. My heart simply stopped.  An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) like the one I experienced is fatal about 90% of the time;  survival after treatment to hospital discharge occurs only about 10% of the time, often with resulting neurological and functional impairment. Brokenhearted, grieving, and emotionally and physically exhausted from a life of caregiving and poor self-care, I experienced a complete energetic depletion that almost took my physical life, while, at the same time, renewed my life spiritually in ways I never could have anticipated.
My NDE occurred sometime during my cardiac arrest and resulting coma. During my NDE, I experienced life as pure consciousness, out of my physical body, in the presence of the most all-encompassing love I have ever known.  God, the source energy of all that is, was ever-present, guiding me through a life review, sharing messages about our innate identity as souls, our mission as loving beings of compassion and light---and my own spiritual mission. With "no medical explanation," I awoke from the coma, and miraculously returned to my body and earthly life after surviving what the medical team told my family was not medically possible---with a very clear sense of mission about the work I needed to do.  Intuitive gifts, deep spiritual transformation, and clear insight and vision emerged to fuel me on my journey and provide the tools needed to fulfill my new mission.

This week I am talking to Annette Marinaccio about her book 'Your Soul Focus: You Believe in the Afterlife, Don’t You?'

Do you wonder if there is more to this life? Do you wonder why we are here? Do you wonder why our loved ones die? Do you want to connect with your soul’s purpose? Your Soul Focus is a spiritual book written in a practical way. It helps to answer these questions and more . AFTER my mother-in-law died, she showed me that she is still here. After understanding that the afterlife is existent, I learned how intricate and extensive our souls and our journeys are. It’s fascinating! The information that I’ve accumulated and conveyed has a clear and deep benefit to others during their times of need, grief or curiosity, and Your Soul Focus will pass that knowledge to you.

Bio
I am a Certified Public Accountant and an accomplished healthcare executive. My mother-in-law led me on a path after she died to prove to me that there is an afterlife. Being a hard-wired, analytical, left-side brain dominant person, I had to be convinced with visible, tangible, and otherwise unexplainable occurrences. I have connected the dots, so to speak, that spiritual people often take for granted and that non-spiritual people have a difficult time experiencing and believing. I am one of the few people who has been able to experience the other side, without direct access to it.
Your Soul Focus is a spiritual book written in a practical way. It unfolds my journey and what I’ve learned through my relatives on the other side, chapter by chapter, containing personal stories and anecdotes applicable to daily life. After understanding that the afterlife is existent, I learned how intricate and extensive our souls and our journeys are. It’s fascinating! The information that I’ve accumulated and conveyed has a clear and deep benefit to others during their times of need, grief or curiosity, and Your Soul Focus will pass that knowledge to you.

In this episode I'm talking to Andrew Elkan about the Near Death Experience he had while he was in a coma.
 
Bio
Andrew Elkan, born in Saint Louis, Missouri, US, in 1977, moved to California in 1984 and attended college in Santa Cruz, CA. He developed epilepsy as a child but didn’t experience full seizures until adulthood, around the age of 23.

At one point, Andrew had a severe seizure that required inducing a coma to stop the seizures and reduce brain swelling. Unfortunately, after 24 hours without success, they could not bring him out of the coma. He remained in a coma at the ICU in Scripps Hospital, Encinitas, for 28 days.
Upon waking, Andrew spent over a month in the hospital, during which rehabilitation began. He had to relearn basic skills like walking, writing, and reading. After attaining a basic level of functioning, all therapy stopped, leaving Andrew without further physical or emotional support from the hospital.
Facing a long struggle to prove his cognitive disabilities, Andrew eventually met with a federal judge and, with his testimony and neurologist’s input, was granted federal disability status. It took several years after his coma for Andrew to reaccess therapy after obtaining disability assistance.
Experiencing the challenges of navigating disability assistance, paying bills, finding medical help, and securing housing in the United States, Andrew decided to create a support group called “Coma Survivors.” With this group, he aims to provide knowledge, help, and community for coma survivors seeking financial support, housing, medical assistance, or simply understanding and listening ears.
Additionally, Andrew is working towards establishing “The Coma Survivor’s Foundation” to support coma survivors in their unique journeys further. He believes that his experience while in a coma and his survival are unique and valuable, as the experience of being in a coma is one that few individuals encounter.

This week I'm reading from Robert De Filippis' book 'Signals in the Noise: 
Encountering the Limits of Materialist Science - An Exploration of Consciousness and Reality'.

"The Signals in the Noise," groundbreaking theories about consciousness are meticulously explored, presenting an avant-garde perspective that stands to challenge our traditional, materialist viewpoints. The author leads us on an intellectual journey, questioning established materialist scientific norms and bringing forward evidence that defies materialist theories of consciousness.
The book emphasizes that consciousness persists and can even be enhanced when brain activity decreases, supported by numerous research studies involving psychedelics, near-death experiences, and other instances when brain functions are diminished. This new understanding suggests that consciousness transcends the physical confines of our biological makeup, challenging conventional notions about its origin and nature.
Furthermore, the book introduces a transformative perspective on the universe, proposing that what we perceive as material is merely a function of our sensory systems. Based on the author's review of current theories of the composition of the cosmos, we now know everything that exists is composed of energy, with physicality representing deeper qualities that lie out of our reach. Drawing on proven quantum physics, the author presents the theory that the universe's interconnectedness is a product of coherent quantum fields from which everything emerges and takes on the character of separateness and materiality in the 4D or manifest level we experience.
In a radical departure from mainstream materialist thought, "The Signals in the Noise" argues that consciousness is a universal phenomenon occurring in varying degrees of complexity across all organisms. The author posits that while the presence of proto-consciousness is universal, the consciousness we experience emerges in the fourth-dimensional or manifest level, an idea that, if widely accepted, can redefine our understanding of life and existence.
Finally, the author criticizes the materialist worldview, stating that this ingrained belief system creates many societal, political, religious, and environmental problems. He argues that our obstinate adherence to materialist orthodoxy drives our trajectory toward planetary destruction. Catalyzed by our capitalist system of consumption, this materialist belief system hinders our ability to recognize and correct the adverse effects of our actions.
"The Signals in the Noise" is a compelling critique of the materialist worldview, challenging our understanding of consciousness, existence, and our place in the universe. It underscores the urgency to redefine our perspectives to avert the catastrophic trajectory that our current beliefs are driving us toward. This book is a radical and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in consciousness, quantum physics, and the future of our planet.
