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 KZhead 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.
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.
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 ⚖️.
"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.
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.🤷
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.
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.
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😂
JEEPERS
That ADHD kicked up toward the end
A rEsEArChER!
That man is just way too wholesome
@@thecommonsensecapricorn >common sense >astrology pick one
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.
Very cool share 👍🏽 can’t wait to read his books
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.
Good for you. Proud of you
Sending love and peace
Sending love, proud of you!!❤
The world needs you in it!!!
I'm glad you're still here! 💕
What a blessing of a human to be a full time doctor and study something so important to humankind
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
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?
❤❤❤ 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 ❤
This Dr. has the best vibe ever. Any questions Theo asked were answered with respect and humility. Two lovely gentlemen having an utterly mind blowing conversation. This was incredible.
Even when the question was stupid. Much respect for the Doctor.
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. ❤
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.
I lost my grandfather 9 days ago. This episode is just what my heart and soul needed. Thank you Theo and Dr. Long!
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.
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
@@MsMak03”When the kilts in the crib ma, drop it like it’s hotttt”
a striking image! tremendous!
Snoop dog crip walkin' to Eminem's song is where I initially went lol.@@MsMak03
Such a clever, yet accurate, way to describe Theo!! 😂
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! ❤
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.
I like how the doctor always endearingly says Theo’s name in the end so fatherly & nurturing ❤
"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.
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.

He is such a goober haha but he is so funny!
"don't even believe you're here then" is the funniest philosophical joke i've heard in a long, long time. Theo is so much smarter than he makes himself out to be.
Comedians are typically very smart people. Incredibly aware. They see through all the nonsense and absurdity of this world.
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.
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 KZhead. 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 had a near death experience back in 1992 from an overdose. I dismisses it as just the drugs until I recently started hearing about the similarities I had. In 2021 my close friend had a heart and kidney transplant due to covid where we had a shared death experience, All I knew is that the voice said I got this relax. Just coming to terms with the experience only 2 years now.
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
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?
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.😅😅
Two different types of geniuses having a conversation is something to behold.
Theo: *asks any question* Dr.: “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
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 ❤🙏
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 wish he would have talked about the “darker side” of near death. There is also NDE of a “hell-like experience”. Not everyone has that “heavenly” experience
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
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've had multiple NDE's from gastric artery bleedouts, twisted necrotic bowels, malnutrition/dehydration. I'm all messed up inside. I've also had out of body experiences, ayahuasca, amanita, & Marijuana experiences. I could talk til the end of my days and not be able to accurately depict everything I've experienced. None of the doctors and specialists know how I'm still alive, and neither do I until I'm in that place of all knowing. All I long for every day is to go back there.
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...
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!
This video is literally a crossing of my two KZhead 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
I've had dozens of NDEs and nearly everything this doctor explains is exactly what I have experienced. It's WILD to hear someone explain it like this.
And there is a *very* safe way to experience an NDE that is legal and doesn't involve putting one's self into a coma. And that's the way I've experienced it. And tens of thousands of others as well. And it involves board-certified doctors. I will not mention it here but just know there is a very very easy, common, and legal way to do it.
@@ayoungtricknamedjim5498Please tell me the way! Does it involve DMT or asphyxiation?
@@ayoungtricknamedjim5498Btw, why did you feel the need to have multiple NDEs, was one not "enough" to learn what you learned? Did you keep doing it for entertainment reasons, like recreational shroom tripping?
@@sunnybadgr5073 The NDE is a newly understood side effect of a treatment protocol I'm on for treatment resistant depression and PTSD. I was not seeking an NDE, it just so happens that it occurs during my treatment.
@@sunnybadgr5073 it doesn't involve either DMT or asphyxiation. Also, a DMT experience has myriad marked differences from an NDE.
We will all have a death experience, some sooner than others, but we all , without exception will have that experience. Wether one is happy or unhappy, wealthy or not, no one is exempt. Life is fleeting, ask an older person like myself, so just live, enjoy the small pleasures, we will all meet again one day.
❤
Love how he moves Theo along…. “Well Anyway”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When he said that, I cackled. 😆❤️
These normal down to earth individuals are always the BEST episodes on such thought provoking topics.
Praise god
Dr. Long is so focused, repeatedly steering the conversation back to what the ND Experiencers actually experienced. Yet he does it very compassionately, validating the gist of what the interviewer said. The interviewer in contrast keeps going off on tangents, on illogical trains of thought, trying relate everything Dr Long has to say to drug experiences, even after Dr Long has stated that the two are very different. People naturally want actual spiritual and mystical experiences but get lured away by the broken mirror promises of psychotropic drugs. Doing LSD was the worst mistake of my life. I am so fortunate that I found a methodology that handles traumatic memories including (eventually) past deaths (past death experiences PDEs?) and leads to out-of-body experiences, Dianetics. I’ve gotten many of the benefits of NDEs without new physical trauma. I have no fear of death and am certain that I am an immortal spiritual being, for example. I salute Dr Long for helping to bring these important truths to light.
haha the interviewer is a comedian i’m sure dr. long is a fan
Dianetics. Otherwise known as Scientology. I’m very glad to hear it has given so you much.
Please nobody take this seriously, scientology is a cult that takes your money when You're emotionally vulnerable
Dr Long was so so kind and wonderful to share this all.
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
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.
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.
This guy said Theo’s name more than any other guest ever.
He’s showing respect.
44:20 Theo randomly bringing up Bush gardens when doc is talking about life threatening events lmao
Ikr 😂
Clearly has ocd
ADHD not OCD, his mind literally cannot stay on topic!😂 @verticegirferd5069
I loved that bit so much! It was so so random!
I mean he was more well behaved than usual. Made sense though, them sketchy rides make me feel like I’m pretty close to death. 😂
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.
This man has done amazing research - my mother had an NDE and I’ve had a dream that felt like an NDE. I felt like I knew everyone, however I never saw any past relatives & pets. But I was told “you’ll love it here one day”… ❤ And no I was not on any hulicigenic / drug.
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
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
Damn when Theo said “crazy how we have to almost die to get a message on how to live” hit so hard
Theo is a world class interviewer. Creates awesome dialogue with anyone. He speaks from his stomach.
"World class" did we watch the same interview?"Sad' would be a better adjective.
Sad = world class
I had wished for an NDE. Been through domestic abuse as a child. Attempted to delete myself about 4-5 times, two of which I've been admitted to psychiatric hospital. Observed that the anguish due to my (potential) absence on this plain from my family and loved friends is too great a pain in comparison to keeping alive and well. Wish well and hope strength to all those in my position! We go on! I'm broken and lost in this fleshy form, found and without need for direction in reality. I'm my own biggest obstacle, I'm my own biggest problem, soon as I get out of my way, sooner I experience true solutions. I've felt from the beginning that Theo has a character who's background is strong. Spiritual != Religious. Came out of the psych ward about 3 days ago. Wishing a change in myself and in the world some day!
Keep at it, friend. Keep asking God for help… to show you how to go on. You can do it. I believe in you.
@@FrancesScottFurryandFree Just want to thank you for your reply. Doing well and seeking positive change in my life. How the same for you!
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
It's always hilarious to watch people deal with Theos comedy at weird times 😂😂
@@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
“Theres definitely people out there suckin on animals, or lickin on frogs…” “Oh my goodness, well moving on…” 😂😂
You ever been to Busch Gardens ?, lmao
@@fryonethen the doctor says “guys like us theo” as if they’re the same type of dude
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.
Im half and half conflicted....grew up religious, but i know its all bullshit.
@@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 christianity ended in 70AD, its in the "good book" of DATA😅 "THIS SHALL PASS IN YOUR GENERATION"....yea 1900 years ago......Constantine changed everything real about the DATA to enslave
@@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 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.
These two men are so nice . Theo is special ! He is love , he is hilarious , endearing , cool , humble , southern gentleman and I’m so glad that he is having so much success .
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
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.
@@BigTexGamezit 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
I shared my Dad's life review. I heard a soft what appeared to be a woman's voice starting at number 1 counting him over to the other side or that's whst I took from it. I saw the colours and I heard the most beautiful music . Then I got a phone call to say he had passed all I could say was "yes I know".. I had something similar after I lost my Grandad
"Naked down to your soul." He's a poet, truly.
Tomorrow is the 3 year anniversary of my dads passing. Thanks Theo! I needed this right now
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
@@user-lp3tw9mp3b 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
No matter how many stories I watch on NDE, I'm still scared of the unknown
I had hemorrhaged when I gave birth to my 9.5 pound babygirl. I had 13 blood transfusions and was clinically dead twice. I saw everything that the doctors and nurses were doing to me to bring me back. It was like a dream and I was just pulled back the first time I didn't fight it but I was curious . I came to and flatlined again. Same thing happened but this time I wasn't as curious and I just awoke.
“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’m so thankful for Jeffrey and Jody Long!! I started research on NDEs 20 years ago following these two and it’s such a blessing where they are at now!!! I put my story in the website and I have been in aww watching this movement!
One of the best interviews on this topic I have ever watched. Thanks so much to both of you~ 🌟🙏🏼🌟
"That's what Destin feels like, you ever been to Destin?" so true Theo
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.
Love the conversation between you both, it is very enlightening! Thank you both for your insights!
Theo I’m so proud of you, you are always searching out new ideas and experiences. Thank you for sharing with all of us the things you are impressed by. What a blessing ❤
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.
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.💕💕
I'm glad you have found this podcasts. Enjoy!
Great interview! Thank you both! x
That was a fascinating interview, Theo. I enjoyed it immensely.
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!!!!!
A near Jeff experience for Theo.
lol
thats amazing work right there
Nice
Solid
an NJE
thanks for this theo, this information is so compelling i love it that someone with your outreach is putting it out there. bless
This is one of the coolest conversations about NDEs that I have seen. Love both of these guys and the way they connected, listened to each other and took the inquiry. Great interview!
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.
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.🤡🤦♀️
Beautiful interview. Thank you so much. 💖🙏💖
I was on ECMO for 14 days last year, had a crazy NDE. Will never forget.
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 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 died at 7. 1968 and my NDE was different, I kept getting flash backs of being pulled through a tunnel, the colors were vivid but swirling in this indescribable clouds of colors around me. I was finally in complete darkness. I didn't feel a body at all, just consciousness and vision, in the distance I saw these orbs of light, they came to me and enveloped around me and I heard so many voices but telepathically as I was enveloped in love and peace indescribable in language or description here on earth. The voices were , all different, but saying, "oh we love you', ' your back;" , "we so missed you" ,in the distance was a light a golden light as it came closer. In that light was man in beautiful robe. These orbs, I call them souls immediately bowed away on both sides back behind this golden vision. I heard a mans voice, a language I didn't , totally telepathic in a language unknown to be, but understood everything he was saying. It was like a strong fathers voice, and what he conveyed to me was it wasn't my time, I had to return as I had something to do, to finish, I knew all the knowledge of our existence. I just had the knowledge that it was God and my gosh the feeling of absolute love, and that word doesn't explain what I witnessed. I can tell you, I've always felt different, . I loved studying astrophysics I was drawn to it, I care nothing of material objects. I have had dreams that come true, I have had 'feelings' I can't explain. I have been called clairvoyant, I have been healed of illness that Drs. gave me less than a year. I perplex Drs. 6 Drs. gave me my time.. I am not afraid to die AT ALL ! I have cared for animals and saved many. I am not sure what my earthly mission is and I still wonder if all the wrong that people have done to me have been lessons, etc... this is so long, but I could write a book.
Like you have psychic abilities?
I will always say this. These “regular people” interviews are always the best.
