This week I am talking to Ingrid Honkala about her book 'Dying to See the Light: A Scientist's Guide to Reawakening (Without Nearly Dying)'

What if the greatest awakening of your life did not require dying… but remembering?

Opening with forewords by pioneering near-death experience researchers Dr. Pim van Lommel and Dr. Eben Alexander, Dying to See the Light bridges science, spirituality, and firsthand experience to reveal a deeper understanding of consciousness and the true nature of life.

For centuries, humanity has searched for answers to life’s deepest questions:

Why are we here?

What is consciousness?

What lies beyond the limits of the physical world?

In this powerful and deeply personal book, scientist and near-death experiencer Ingrid Honkala, PhD, shares the insights gained through multiple near-death experiences and a lifetime of inner exploration. Blending scientific understanding with spiritual wisdom, she reveals a profound truth:

The Light we seek has always lived within us.

More than a story, this book is a practical guide to awakening. Through simple yet transformative reflections and practices, you will learn how to:

Reconnect with your inner awareness and presence

Transform suffering into growth and wisdom

Cultivate forgiveness, self-love, and inner peace

Navigate life with clarity, trust, and purpose

This is not a book about dying.

It is a guide to living with greater clarity, wisdom, and love.

The Light you are searching for is already within you.

Are you ready to remember?

Bio

I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, where I lived with my parents and three sisters. Although I grew up in the mountains my love for the ocean started when my parents brought me to see it for the very first time at the age of four. I perceived it as a huge blanket and told my mom that some day I was going to find what was hidden under it. At five I told my dad, “When I grow up I am going to become a marine scientist.”

I pursued my dream and went to college where I graduated as a Marine Biologist and later continued my graduate studies until I got a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences with emphasis in Biological Oceanography. My passion for my career had brought me to be a very successful scientist in this field.

Since I was very little my parents discovered that my learning abilities were astonishing but that was not all. Later they also discovered that I could see and hear things that no one else could. All this seemed to be tied up with the aftermath of a near-death experience (NDE) where I drowned at the age of two. Not long after, I started to communicate with Beings of Light who have guided me through a journey of miracles, not just around the world but also through the barriers of time. With them I have been able to access past life experiences of myself and others, and future events.

As I grew up and remembered my drowning, I could never get away from the question, “How could I have seen my body lifeless if I was still alive?” This experience made it clear to me that there was an existence beyond the body. Before I was quite three, I was gifted with knowing that I have existed for a very long time. In fact, I have come and gone in different realms many more times.
