Near-Death Experiences

Near-Death Experiences

In this episode I'm talking to John Gregory Reed about his book 'What I Saw: Near-Death Experiences'.

Near-death experiences have been reported since the dawn of humankind. In almost all cases, the stories are very similar.

Every year, around 350,000 people in the United States experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting. Worldwide data is staggering. Very few of these people survive; of the ten percent who do, a few report experiencing a life-after-death memory. The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) has estimated that 85% of children who experienced cardiac arrest have had a near-death experience. This rate is more than twice that of an adult.

In this book, you will read personal accounts of people who have been successfully revived after they were pronounced dead. Each has their own account, but you will see a similar theme in each - how each of them had to face their decision-making during their lifetime and whether those decisions were bad or good. Each had to stand in some form of judgment. This correlates to the principles taught in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religions.

Jonathan Gregory Reed worked for the Richmond City Sheriff's Office and later for the Virginia State Police.
