A message from David:
I grew up in the church and was a Christian for the first 37 years of my life. My relationship to the religious side of things started to fall apart in 6th grade and with the slow degradation up until 37 when I left my family, moved into an apartment, and was actively plotting my own suicide. At the absolute bottom of my rope, I just discovered that there is still power within me waiting to be tapped into. This was in 2019 when covid was barreling towards us, and something in me just snapped, and demanded that I try to survive. The last 4 years have been the best of my life as I transitioned from non-believer, to atheist, to spiritual seeker. I am so thankful to have my loving and patient family through it all!

Thank you so much for having me on Betty! I learned the hard way about how to set up my background, so I am no longer a disembodied head 😆I really appreciate you, your story, and your open spirit to allow space for people like me to share our journeys. Love and light to you all! 💓💚💓

I love how often times we literally or physically act out our spiritual lessons before realizing what they are. In this case, marching to the beat of your own drum. Glad you found your way David! Thank you for sharing. I have experienced something similar in my family and broke through after hearing about NDE’s as well. I am willing to be the black sheep. It works for me. Thank you to Betty too!

Both of you are inspired and refreshing. Trust your intuition and direct experience with Spirit., Each one of us has the Divine spark--we just have to remember who we are. As you both said, it's all about Love. 💛

I had the same thought about why I didn't learn about ndes in Sunday school. Ndes are the most spiritual experience a person can have.

The judgement in the church stems from human animal instinct. I would recommend watching videos or reading the books of Nanci Danison, who goes extremely deep into the “background” of what we call physical reality.

Betty,an honest suggestion to you. You don’t need to smile so much,it makes the video like you are telling children story,you sound like chil story teller.and that diminishes the seriously of the topic.

Death isn’t necessarily sad to those who believe we come back. There is a reason most NDE become less religious and more open to reincarnation.
