I've listened to this 3 times tonight. Just lost my dog and this brings me so much comfort.

I sure hope all my pets will be there for me when I pass. I love them more than any humans in my life. They literally saved my life by protecting me from abusive parents and an older sister, as I was the last child born and became everyone's punching bag. I hope to see all my pets and a beautiful nephew who was like my son and seeing him and them again will fill all of heaven with my love!

Sobbing I am sobbing I needed to hear this so badly today. I lost my Ridgeback one month ago and I’m grieving beyond words just to know I will see him again is magnificent thank you so so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I almost started crying when you talked about your dog. I've lost cats that I loved dearly, and a chocolate lab, and eventually we will say goodbye a precious Pug. It means so much to know my friends will be there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience.

Thank you for sharing this. God is love, we are manifestations of God, so we are love and our purpose is love. What a beautiful, simple truth.

This is one of the best. As a nine years old he was free of religious interpretation. I also had an NDE. When he said down load...and getting all the answers in a concentrated lump. I get it.

Thanks for making this video. Sometimes when I am having a bad day I like to take a look at NDE's. They confirm to me that I am gonna be okay. To date this was one of the best NDE video's I have seen your explanation was awesome and I like the fact that you were a kid when it happened I think kids tend to be a lil more open I love that about kids :)

This is the best NDE I have ever heard. No agenda, no "religious" spin, just one clear message. Our one job and only job is to love one another, nothing else matters. I remember waking up one night, I thought I was having a panic attack, but as I came out of my sleep stupor, I had one clear overwhelming thought.... the only thing we take with us is the love we give. That's it. That's all there really is.

I’m so happy he decided to share his story- I really enjoy the explanation at 19:00, about our purpose on earth. I too have heard over and over that we are here to “learn” “grow” and “progress to the next level” and I have discovered large limitations in that view. I really feel uplifted by his explanation that we are here to love, and that creation cannot unfold without me being here. Each of us are critical to Life and creation unfolding. Thank you Raymond. I appreciate you sharing openly and honestly without claiming to be a “guru” or claiming to have every answer.

I love this gentleman's story every time I watch him.

I cannot tell how glad I was to come across your video. I’m a critical care nurse and the first time I ever heard of NDE was from one of my patients as far back as 1992. I’ve had more than one patient tell me they had seen the other side, I really didn’t know what to think but I did believe them because I’ve always believed in God. Since then I’ve read and watch countless videos of people who have had NDE’s and there are SO many things they have recounted that are identical. That all being said, the reason I’m so happy to hear your story is because I’m a huge animal lover...I think I love animals more than people. The picture you see next to my name is my beloved dog Niki who passed away last summer...then two months later I lost my cat Chase who was twenty years old. I still mourn them and think of them often. I haven’t forgotten any of my animals and I often dream of them....it’s like God brings them all back to me in my dreams...I hate waking up from those dreams...they slip thru my fingers again. After my cat Chase died, I was sobbing so hard....I just kept asking God if He has them....will I see them again. I hear him say to me, I’ll give them back to you. So today it’s raining and I just got so sad because I buried Chase in the back yard and I’m thinking he’s wet and cold...then I was looking at a portrait of Niki and Chase that my daughter in law drew for me.... for some reason I just keep asking God to please somehow let me know I will see my pets again...all of them. Then this evening I was just scrolling thru the KZfaq videos and watched this one. I wasn’t even looking for NDE stories.....the second you said you saw your pet on the other side, I burst into tears. I really believe God was giving me my answer. Thank you for sharing your story.

This is one of the best near death experiences I’ve heard. I really enjoy hearing this one again and again and again. It is so comforting to listen to it

This was one of the best descriptions I've heard or the experience yet, "a perpetual unfolding of now".

WOW! I really don't like what I see unfolding in the comments below. Really strange! But go ahead... say anything you want to say. I am only a reporter... just delivering a message of Love. Why would anyone want to distort this message into fear and antagonism? I have no idea. My hope is that all people can find the power and gain from a message of Love. Be well and lighten up everyone!

Really enjoyed hearing this account. Infinite Love is what God is. God is Love and God is Light and we are one.. this is the Truth. Everything is alive.

That was so amazing! I could keep listening to him for hours. He is so real. Raymond, thank you. Mel, thank you for doing this interview.

There is no time, only an eternal now. Thanks for your incredible story.

I have listened to this many times. I just love the way Raymond expresses his experience. It's completely genuine and heartfelt, and I can feel it, too.

Thanks, Raymond. You're one of my favorite NDE-ers. You have so much wisdom and love to share.

I lost my adult son to suicide five months ago. Thankfully, I read Raymond Moody’s book, ‘Life after Life’ many years ago, and that gave me great comfort. Thank you for telling us your story.

I FINALLY HEAR A NDE THAT TALKS ABOUT PETS. I OFTEN WONDER IF I WILL EVER SEE MY TEACUP YORKIE WHEN I DIE. I FELT JOY IN MY HEART WHEN I HEARD ABOUT SKIPPY. THANKS, GOD BLESS

I am writing a book the Lord wanted me to do over 30 years ago. In November, 2019 I suddenly began to have intense flashbacks of all the news (LIFE after life, I call it!), and found Mel's interviews. I'm not alone anymore! Thank you for your story, Ray!

I have watched this over and over and it brings me so much solace. I so appreciate you Raymond and the gifts that you brought back with you.

Thank you, you can not imagine how important this message you brought back with you is important to me.

I am glad Skippy was there. I just hope my precious French bulldog will be there to meet me when I am gone.

So glad I had the chance to enjoy this testimony. I feel that these experiences are as individualistic as the people who have them (ask 100 women about birthing a child, and every story will be different, although some may share similar elements). Love and interconnectedness seems right to me. Actively meditating on being a kind and loving person (as taught by the masters) is the ultimate goal. Yes, it requires a constant questioning of ones own motives, and I often fail miserably...but I keep trying. ✌🏽

I’m grateful Raymond says, “I don’t know” often instead of making claims he is unsure about. It lends to his credibility.

Thank you Raymond, your testimonies are genuine and beautiful. Your words resonate. Bless you for opening up about your experience. Big love to you.

I had a death experience and as an artist have tried to paint it but I just can't find the colors as they don't exist here. It's so frustrating. I'm impressed that you could paint your experience. Thank you.

I’ve lost consciousness twice.. no death involved.. just out from an injury from a fall from a horse; another an auto accident. I have ZERO recollection of the time I was out. I have absolutely no doubt that Raymond’s story is real… it is beautiful and comforting. I completely believe I will be reunited with my pets and family after listening to his story - and many others. I’m so appreciative that he has shared his experience with us 🙏

Have a friend that just lost a dog & I sent this video to her. To me anyone who has ever lost a pet or someone they love needs to watch some of these videos. It just makes me more at peace w/ losing loved ones & pets

Thank you bro. You are totally authentic and honest and it shows.

this is a great, articulate account by an NDEer. A valuable gem

I had an out of body experience (OBE) where I discovered similar things to what Mr. Kinman says. I realized that we are part of a larger 4th dimension; we are part of or created by 4th dimensional beings. The 4th dimension exists right here, in the same space as our dimension, but bigger, even infinite. (I refer to it as the 4th dimension, but it could be the 7th, 10th or 20th dimension. Whatever it is, our dimension is one rung lower or next to it.) The reason why we create tv shows, movies, books, plays, etc. is because we subconsiously know that our lives here were created by our 4th dimensional selves as a type of play or movie. Therefore, what happens to a character in a play may be important to the character, it doesn't really affect the actor, the 4th dimensional being, who has a richer and unrelated life outside of the play. This is why both good and bad, sacred and evil, things can happen to people; in the greater scheme, in the 4th dimension, it is all entertainment to us there. We came here to play out these plays we have created. This is also probably why we feel so good when we create literature or art. It is our link to our higher selves. It is also our link to God, who created the 4th dimensional beings, or actors, who, in turn, created us, the characters in their plays. Everyone in our lives hired on and agreed to join the cast of the play. When I saw the title of the video on another site, which is taken from a quote of Mr. Kinman in the video, "We are maniesting God wanting to play", I knew what he was talking about. The only really important parts that exist on all the dimensions is how we treat others, including animals & other life, and that we continue to learn and grow and expand our consciousness, which we do when we interact with the other actors and their plays..

Thank you😥😥😥 your testimony makes me so emotional because i have been looking for my purpose and i have been trying to love and help others ... make everyone happier but i struggle. This testimony sounds so honest, so true and so clear. He did not presume, he only stated what he saw. Thank you🙏🏾

Thanks so much for your honesty and your patience in explaining things to non-experiencers. I get a lot of comfort from your Facebook page too !

This was amazing.. thanks so much. Beautiful man! Each time I hear one of these testimonies another piece of the puzzle falls into place... Please don't defile this message with dogma and religion - we really need to move on from that to feel and understand the wonderous truth of love.

Thank you Raymond for sharing your story in the very thoughtful way that you did. It's amazing how scared people get when their programming is challenged instead of looking at all the evidence, evaluating it and thinking deeply about what it all means.

Great channel, great interviewer and Ray is a great guy too. These videos are much appreciated.

Such a beautiful description of his experience. Humble, emotional, inspirational. I feel like I just want to hug this man I somehow feel so connected to him from just watching and listening him describing his experience. Thank you!

Wow...thank you so much for sharing your story! I feel like I've just found something I've been searching for.

Thank you for sharing this experience ❤

I listen to Raymond often because it gives me hope and calms me down in this difficult life. I am not as afraid of dying as I used to be. Also, I am looking forward to seeing my beloved kitty again. I loved him more than I can say and we had a wonderful life together. Perhaps I will see him again and how wonderful this would be. Raymond is absolutely the best. I have no doubts that all this happened to him. Just love his story.

This was his experience! Please be respectful! Some people tell it better than others! God speed!

Wise man...I ve had an ode and "the perpetual unfolding of now" is so accurate. thanks for this description

Amazing! Thank you Raymond! One Love!

I love Raymond Kinmond. His story and his artwork are amazing! His woodworking and paintings are beautiful

Raymond, thank you so much for sharing. I needed to hear this. Much love to you! I'm now moving on to part 2.

Raymond's and Anita Moorijani's ("Dying to be Me") have so much in common that it supports (from my perspective) my belief that LOVE is everything and that we are here to learn from each other and all creation. Raymond, thank you so much for sharing your LOVE

I watched so many of these interviews you’ve made. Thank you so much for this excellent series. And for this one in particular, I needed that input on pets after life.

Hiya Raymond I was born in 1966. I too had a after death experience very similar to yours especially the perpetual unfolding of now. And the ing ing on the end of your personality. Language is vvvvv limiting xxx

"You are not a drop in the Ocean. You are the entire Ocean... in a drop" - Rumi

For someone who acknowledges the near impossibility of articulating the heavenlies from an earthly position, Raymond does an incredible job of "translating" this awesome experience! His heartfelt, genuine recounting of his after death is riveting. Be sure not to miss out in the Q&A video that follows! Thank you so much Raymond and IANS for this. What a gift and a source of great hope this is!

Oh my gosh. This man is genuine and such a loving person ❤

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. A lot can be learnt by opening our minds to others experiences. Thank you.

Love, love Raymond Kinman's story! He's a real honest guy and very truthful. 🦋🌻⚘🌹🌷🌺

He seems like such a genuinely nice man, and he looks like Woody Harrelson. What an amazing experience he had and explained in such detail... very talented artist, too.

Thanks for the message. I have had a rough time in this life time. It is nice to know everything is going the right way.

He was 9 yo when it happened and now he is middle aged - and yet he can remember every tiny detail. That's what is so significant about NDEs. The experiencers can remember them several decades after as cleas as if it just happened. Compare that to dreams - or encounters when we were awake 30 or 40 ago. We don't remember them all that well.

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." Rev 22:16

Forty plus years after receiving the first koan from a Korean Zen Master (Mu koan), this video hit me like a bolt of lightning and I understood Mu koan. We are not nouns. We are verbs.

This was great. Ever since my experience I've watched a ton of this kinda stuff, and it's just like what I went through a year ago. I vaporized a high does of DMT for my first and only time, I actually took way more than I ment to by screwing up the dosage. My consciousness was blasted through what felt like multiple different dimensions at the speed of light, it was so intense I can't really remember any of it except that it was completely insane and I thought I was dieing. But finally I brokethough to a place that was pure paradise, I was greeted by loving welcoming beings that were made out of light and energy, radiating the pure love that these NDE people always describe. The beings spoke to me and told me that everything was okay and that God is in all of us, that everything is connected. It was the single most amazing experience I've ever had.

Beautiful :)) I love how this guy explains his "After Death Experience". He puts so much feeling and passione into his experience and uses brilliant language and vocabulary and expression to convey his experience that I can "feel" and imagine exactly what he went through. Great interview!! Thank you.

This is helpful to hear. My dog is my heart and I can’t imagine being separated from her. She has been the one thing in my life that has taught me what unconditional love is.

Yay, I get to see my T-Bone again 🐕

Best description of the concept of no time and space in an NDE. This guy explains it the best that I have heard after listening to hundreds of nde's. "a perpetual unfolding of Now."

I sense such authenticity in this person's telling here! Thank you!

This brought tears to my eyes! Bless you and Thank You! 💓💓💓

This was a totally awesome story - I so enjoyed watching and hearing about Raymond's experience. From what I have learned on my spiritual path, this all fits.

Isaiah 55:22 “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Thank you for sharing your experience we us. I can't wait to see it for myself! Bless you!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

This was beautiful and extraordinary! Thank you! Sending love from South Africa🙏❤

Wonderful testimony. Thank you for sharing the love and inspiration. I look forward to the book...Glimpses of God!

Awesome man. Great account of your experience. Thank you for sharing.

Oh my... This was the most beautiful video I have ever seen in my life. Thanks for this. I could literally feel the love pour out to me from Raymond.

Lost my kitty yesterday. Love this ❤️ Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Thankful for this wonderful content....❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😎

Amazing! Thank you.

This is so wonderful - a message of hope for us all 🙏🏼❤️. Thank you. Xx

Thank you so very much for sharing your experience

This is one of my all time favorite NDE experiences. I’ve always wanted to be in different places experiencing different lives for whatever amount of time I want. I believe I can do that on the other side. Perpetual unfolding of now. What an amazing description. Thanks for sharing and Raymonding w us 💕💕💕

That was awesome!! Love you!! :)

Best account I've heard, so well explained, I hope millions hear this, wake them up and take notice. Love it

Thank you SOOOO much! That was amazing! 💗💗💗

I just love your account, Raymond ... 'Skippy's eyes are so lovingly soulful ... your piece at 16:20 is very similar to the 'guides' (helper/angel/being) that I encountered. Thank You!!! ~Peace/Blessings~

Raymond, I go to Quaker meetings and hear the same message there in the "collective stillness". Love is the key.

An amazing interview, lucid and heartfelt and very helpful.

Your story is so uplifting. Thank you so much for sharing.

I had an NDE and I too saw those pillars. That painting is amazing. A being in human form (I was only 5 or 6), who I believe was Jesus, took me into the "building" by those pillars. I put building into quotes because it felt like a building, but yet there weren't any walls. It's like an old N64 video game where the backgrounds aren't fully rendered because of a lack of processing power. They were there, but seemed out of phase with space and time...again, space and time are bad examples there. Out of phase with the current location is a better way of saying. The pillars seemed to extend up for...I don't know, like out into another dimention. The guy I'll call "Jesus" was having a non verbal communication with...someone. I was never able to see him, I could only see the bight light he shown off. The Jesus character stood between me and this light, almost shielding me from its brilliance, and they discussed why I was there...I shouldn't be. I'd like asking this guy way he feels he deserves to be loved unconditionally even though he's done bone headed things? Why were his sins forgiven? For me, the answer was when the Jesus being said to the light, "because it's what I want." Even though in my mini trial, I was unworthy to even be there, I was accepted by him. The light (who never talked to me directly), said, "fine, but now is not his time. He needs to go back." Jesus then turned towards me, showing me the profile of his face, saying, "ok, it's time to go." Instantly I awoke with my mother frantically standing over me as I convulsed. she was holding me down because I shook so bad. I had a temp of over 109 and when I awoke she quickly took me to the emergency room.

i knew he was going to say our purpose is to love

Very well done. Glad you had that experience. Best wishes to you.

Wow! He has such a beautiful way of expressing himself. He's so fascinating. I've listened to many of these experiences and he presented a colour and depth I've never heard before but he took me on the journey. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you! That was Wonderful! :-) One of the best and now most favorite NDE interview I've seen! Lots of Love & Hugs to both of you! Keep up your Good work! Gil :-)

I agree..I went through the entire death process..so I actually came back from death.Thankyou for sharing.

I love this. Thanks Raymond. This (Part 1) is great but so is the Q&A (Part 2). Be sure to watch both.

I had a number of spiritual experiences I could not understand. About 5 years ago I came upon Raymond’s NDE. And this telling of it helped me start getting reoriented away from my materialism paradigm to the greater truth. Our purpose is to love in this very challenging physical mission. I’m very grateful for Raymond conveying to us what he learned in his death experience.

Ray Kinman is for real, honest, and a talented artist. He tells it like it is. In my opinion, at the top of the after death experience people. His Experience is real and very well delivered.. I would recommend to everyone Ray Kinmans message; our purpose is to love and he explains this perfectly. His insight to other living creatures is amazing and you will experience it on every level with him. Ray Kinman is one of us, just a slob like one of us (song). Reference to music artist Joan Osborne, written by Eric Bazilian.

This guy is awesome!

Thank you ! I can’t wait for you to post the next one❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

Thank you Raymond! This is the most excellent and detailed explanation of life after death I have ever heard, from many years of videos and reading multiple books on NDE.
