I am one of the reasons he had to come back, many thanks.

What a humble, down to earth testimony this is. Thank you for sharing.

Raymond, my stars man... you rock.... I SO want to know you bro. How you think is so clean, honest, and precise. A man in whom there is no guile. You are my brother.

I have been studying NDE's for some time now and find myself returning back to Raymond's NDE in particular because of his intense sincerity and how he tries to remain as objective as possible to what he experienced. We love you Raymond and thank you for sharing this experience with the world!

Raymond is my favorite of all the NDEers. I can FEEL the unconditional love when he described it...and the singing, the WORSHIPPING, ...Raymond, I KNOW it is real !!!!!! I lost a son, he was murdered. He came to me in a dream and laid down on me (I was laying on my stomach) and all this love poured like water through my body from his 😢😢 I truly believe he was showing me what it feels like to be there to alleviate my suffering over losing him. 😢😢 Thank you so so much Raymond 🌹🌹🌹

Raymond, your testimony along with others like you will change the world, I have debated for 50+ years whether God exists or not and to hear the repeated NDE stories from you and hundreds and hundreds of other people, I have conclude without a doubt God does exist. Perhaps I cannot touch, hear, see or sense Him in any manner,(yet) but the "eye" witness accounts are truly over-whelming. Please keep sharing your experience and the details of your experience, that is all we need to hear. Love will heal our wounds.

Raymond is an amazing guy!

I recognize him to be such an innocent, humble and pure soul 🙏😇🙏 I love You, Raymond!🥰💓🙏🌹

He is so fascinating! Everything he says makes so much sense and he has such a beautiful energy about him. I could listen to him talk for hours..

One thing I love about Ray (and all legit NDE's for that matter) is as I watch, I can see in his FACE and his facial expressions how genuine his experience was. It's clear he's not being deceptive (or even self deceived) in what he is saying; that he's describing something that REALLY happened to him. It's quite incredible, actually, to witness such honest and true testimony relating to something not even of EARTH. I mean I have seen the same expressions from people telling true stories of their lives and here Ray is talking about something beyond EARTH, and he's really experienced it!! This sort of thing is, in my humble opinion, completely under rated.

Awesome awesome guy and experience! Thank you both! So much love and respect to him for coming forward finally.

Raymond, you are pure love. What a sweet hunk of joy you are! Thank you for sharing your experience. My brother passed away suddenly from a drug overdose on April 3rd and I'm grieving hard. It helps to hear from someone like you.

It's not a hallucination because it's not a confusing mess. It's very detailed. Look into NDE research.

Raymond....I just realized !!!!! I am one of the reasons you had to come back !!!!!!!!!!! Because you give me peace after the loss of my son Joe !!!

I just want to give him a hug. Thanks so much for sharing!

The brain is a receiver of consciousness, not a producer of consciousness. That's how you can be dead and still conscious.

Thank you for pointing out that we can't lump all Christians together and label them as closed-minded. I don't call the NDE "mystical" but real.

For me it's like being lovesick and homesick all the time.

Raymond, listening to this fills me with joy. Thank you so much.

Great interview and interviewer. Yes truth does not always fall into the realm of organized religion.

Thankyou , you have made me feel so much better as my twin sister and my father died this year and I know they are happy and I know that I will see them again. It's funny but have have a knowing that Love is our higher purpose and I will try my best to always remember that. Love and Peace Raymond. x

Listen to part 1 and 2 , , one day I was looking up at the clouds and thinking on how beautiful the sky was and I heard God say to me there is no time here. Wasn't sure if it was just me thinking that , it felt wonderful, had to come from God, Love what Raymond talked about, hope we can have even a glimpse of that love here.

Second time watching his interview. So comforting, I wish I could thank him properly. Breaking free of religion has been the most liberating thing in my life. Its experiences like these that have helped me do it. It’s absolutely priceless.

Thank you so much Raymond, you bring peace to my troubled soul listening to you !

Raymond's NDE is one of the most profound I've ever heard.I had OBE's as a very young child,OBE's/astral projections as a school-age child,a hellish OBE after a suicide attempt at 16,after which I turned back to God and have since had numerous more OBE's and sojourns to the Other Side and back,along with very heightened intuition and prophetic dreams.I had the idea just before I wrote this to re-write this section of the Lord's Prayer,along the lines of Raymond's NDE: Love's Kingdom come,Love's will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.The reason we're here is to bring love to this earth and fill ourselves and others with it,but more than that,to be the love that we intrinsically are.Things don't and cannot get better here until we do that.Have all the fun in the universe,remembering the love that you are,and are created to be.....................

Thank you so mu h Raymond for telling us the truth. You have no idea how healing it is to hear this knowledge!!

Thank you. I freed myself and stopped going to Church. And still have a aversion. Also feel like you about knowings, etc.

Excellent interview

One of the best NDE experiences I have heard! Profoundly beautiful and so glad you shared Raymond. I felt “that” love within as he shared. ♥️

Thanks Raymond!! The answer to the charge of "hallucination" is: Since when do hallucinations inspire the hallucinator to change their life for the better...sometimes MAJOR changes?---and to cause the person to be more loving and kind and go around helping others, inspiring others to not be afraid of death, to love all of creation more, to love self and others more intensely? A person who has experienced an hallucination KNOWS shortly thereafter that it WAS an hallucination and they forget it, placing that experience in that part of the brain storage area that houses that bad dream you had a month ago, or where the memory of stumbling over that skateboard on the sidewalk, causing a sprained an ankle, is located. IOW, an hallucination has virtually no impact on the rest of that person's life (unless, of course, that person was seriously injured in some way related to the hallucination). The other point is this: hallucinations originate in the BRAIN. How is it possible to have an hallucination when there is no heartbeat and no brain activity and clinically dead for more than 5 minutes? Usually the charge of "hallucination" is made by folks who don't WANT NDE's to be *real*...IMO. IF the NDE IS a mere hallucination, I say, *May god bless hallucinations! The world NEEDS MORE of them!*

“We have a brain! That’s no less real...”. I love this statement. I have always argued that point...why is existing in another dimension or in heaven such a far fetched idea? It’s no more far fetched than knowing we live here and now. Isn’t our current existence just as inconceivable ? Yet...here we are.

Thank you so much, Raymond! Awesome stuff - I need to redigest your story, but my mind is already more free, esp. of fear

Very wise soul , THANKYOU for sharing ! Beautiful ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Raymond I can see your sincerity which is why I'm making contact. I haven't had an NDE ; I'm a researcher and scientist, but people like you confirm what I have received as inner knowing or 'downloads' to use today's vernacular. I had a series of dreams and visions which led to 18 years of research and the publication of It's All Light. I'm sorry for what seems like self promotion when I mention my book but I would be happy to send it to you. It unites science and spirituality; I can explain the tunnel of light for example and why we see beings of light in the other dimensions. I'm sorry too that you went through all those years with no-one to talk to about it, but there is an explanation and your intuition is correct. The conclusion of It's All Light is that it's all love, as you correctly conclude. Love is coherent light and the ultimate aim of our evolution. Btw, I was also 9 in 1966, like other people in your comments here - a great year brother. Thank you for your bravery and honesty.

He's had a similar experience to my own, and has come to similar conclusions. I would like to talk to him personally if I could. Thanks so much for sharing, and for such authenticity and logical thought. This was definitely the best rendition of an out of body, or near death experience that I've seen on KZfaq and elsewhere. I feel a 'resonance' with his personality.

I love this guy, seems so genuine. Thanks Ray

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful experience Ray.

my Grand father used to say, the time to grieve for a person is when they come into this world, the time to be happy for a person is when they leave this world and make their journey back home, it sounds like my Grand father was in good company, thanks for posting these videos and sharing your story Raymond

Thank you Raymond, this really helps me through difficult times and when I am tired of life. I listen to you often because it really helps me to keep going.

Raymond I have watched you so many times, you bring me peace. Your testimony is WONDERFUL p

A person who was born blind had a NDE and could see during it. That was not a psychological experience.

Thank you, Raymond!

Raymond I really feel you should feel blessed that you were given this experience and don't let people or churches persuade you to feel anything negative whatsoever. people simply don't understand everything and I believe God wants it that way. your message is unique and not everyone will have the same experience. like you said, we all have a special purpose. you have a message of love that is so awesome! the fact that you were only a child at the time makes a huge difference to what God wanted you to experience. you have touched my life in a positive way and I feel so lucky to have found your testimony.

Thumbs up. I love how this guy bring out the truth, his feelings, understanding if his self. Its awesome, powerful and so much more.

THANK YOU RAYMOND, IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, I LIKE YOU TALK ABOUT IT SO OPENLY AND HONESTLY, FINALLY SOMEONE THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND

I love this guy!! He cracked me up!:))

What a genuinely lovely guy 💖💫

This man is a blessing to my..... And everyones life! Be humble and open minded in life. And grateful for people willing to share this kind of testimony. Belief in the King James Bible for me... And whatever Higher power you choose will provide the answers to walking through that "door to Gods Kingdom"!!! God bless all gods children on earth.

Hi Raymond, years ago when I was raising my 3 kids alone, I used to be afraid of going to sleep. I awoke one night. I saw nothing. But I felt, what I believe was the Blessed Mother. It was like being in the safeness of my mother's womb. It was a delicious love. It made me yearn to be with God. I lost all fear of going to sleep at night. Plus, I also had night terrors that went... It gave me trust of God's great love for me. I am 74, and I was probably in my twenties or thirties at the time. I now have such a yearning to go home when God calls me, yet I know we all are here for a unique mission. It is a journey, and it takes courage. But I look forward, more than words can say when Jesus calls me home to Him...But life is precious and I do not say that lightly!

Great and sensitive interview and questions! 😍😍

One of the best NDE videos. I’ve always felt what he is saying.

This gentleman is incredible, thank you 🙏 I have to say that when you lost a family member, you feel grief, because you miss that someone so much and that you will never see him or her again in you life time. But we personally should celebrate it, because they are now in a better place. And we will see each other again 🙏 God bless you.

Hi Raymond, I too was a devout Catholic, but I was never comfortable with the concept of Heaven and Hell - I reckoned that in order to get to Heaven you'd basically have to be a Saint, and how could you learn how to be like that in one lifetime - mind boggling and confusing. Long story short - I was like this until I was around 28 years old when I met a spiritually gifted woman who taught me a lot. I'm now a firm believer in reincarnation which makes a lot more sense. Thanks and much love for telling your experience.

17:23 _"The brain doesn't produce consciousness. Consciousness produces the brain"_ I could not agree more - welcome to idealism ;)

I love this. Thanks Raymond. Part 1 (your talk) and Part 2 (this Q&A).

Thank you for being a ‘Ray’ of hope to us all...awesome testimony.

Really great series. Many thanks to Mel for making this and KMVT15 for posting it.

What a glorious story! Thank you for sharing.

Ray Kinman your experience is such a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing! It is so important for the rest of us who have not gone through such an experience in this lifetime to hear this type of accounts. It brings trust closer to us. Also, I am a non-denominational Christian and it is surprising how some Christians are so blinded by dogma.. they have not experienced anything and still, through "belief" and dogma only, they think they hold the truth and promote division. Peace.

Hey Raymond, not sure if you're still around, but I saw you were and I'm thrilled. Thanks so much for sharing. You have precious precious knowledge. I can relate so well to how language confounds us to tell our stories to people w/ earth senses and language. I had an out of body experience, not as indepth as yours and I experienced that total void, but God was right there, so no fear. Even as I was going through it, I was attempted to draw a crude picture in my mind of me as the little blob and God as the big blob so I could relate in my humanness to what was happening. As an orientation, I guess. His love was incredible. I remember the power coming from him, like he was only giving me a little bit of it and I sensed I couldn't handle it all. It was almost like a pulse of power (those are the paltry words I can use anyway). But the gentleness towards me, and love, w/ all that power that I knew I wasn't near to totally sensing breaks me down to this day. Like you, I can go right back. Anyways, I wondered why no white light, or unearthly colour of flowers, why the void? I think the most valuable thing it taught me was how limited we are in language here compared to there. It helps me understand the fallibility of religion and all our holy books, because of our language and sensory limitations, and how we want to humanize God. All the religions seem to have similar tenants, and I'm sure part of the truth. Any that claim they have it all are just vain and ego driven. I'm still loosely christian, but I've opened up to the rest of religions as having truth and being valid ways to God too. The loving heart I always had to want to see all saved is fulfilled by this. My worry for atheists and hell was answered by Howard Storms NDE (which is awesome, it's christain based, but he's not dogmatic) And now I get to talk w/ other faiths about God and it's very nice, often nicer, more fulfilling than talking to christians. go figure. I'm sure you know what I mean. God bless.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us - I’m very grateful ❤️🙏🏼 xx

The humbleness and eloquence of Raymond is amazing. Having had a NDE myself, the emphasis on the importance of unconditional love is very clearly stated. Thank you, Raymond.

Interviewer: “So in a way the church, ah, was an impediment to your, ah, authentic spiritual development.” Raymond (laughing): “Yes, I’d say that’s a pretty good explanation, yes.” Pretty sad when a priest tells a little kid that they are possessed by Satan. Very, very creepy and demented. Fortunately Raymond was eventually able to see beyond this self-limiting, fear-based belief - thus allowing him to pursue real spiritual knowledge and truth. You just can't pursue truth when you're trapped in a belief system, any belief system, because it stops you from seeing "beyond the belief." Belief is the enemy of truth, as are fear and ego. Raymond has really benefited from his NDE; it has made him so much wiser! Cheers.

Raymond, thanks for sharing this. Your testimony was down to earth, thought provoking and genuine! ! I've watched many NDE's. Jesus BIG command was to love!! God and everyone else! That's it!!

Thank U dear Raymond. I to is the reason U came back. In my opinion because U experience this as a CHILD it was pure & it being pure, my inner child & me as a old woman experience your experience while u were telling your Story. Because I know GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Thank U 4 this PEACE 2 MY CHILD & ME/WE. BLESSINGS BEAUTIFUL SOUL & Sir, thank U 4 this program LET'S PLAY, LET'S CHASE The BLUES AWAY.hay!!!!.🎼🎼💎🌏💞⚓🐣🔔🕉🎁🔯☮💞🌏

Wonderful interview. Thank you. 💜

What a beautiful human being thank you Raymond

Thank you Raymond, for sharing your experience. I feel your love for us because of what’s happened to you. I agree that love is the answer to everything

Thank you, Raymond, for sharing.

I have so much to say. That the only way to say it is so simple but complex at the same time. Thank you for expressing the truth to power. We are love n I love you. Blessings my friend

I believe him. You know why? I've heard many other people with this kind of experience say the same thing. Robert Monroe (author of several books on out of body experiences) said the same thing about love. That the purpose of this world, this existence is to create love. It makes me want to learn how to do it better.

Thank you, Raymond, so much, for sharing your NDE and your insights. You have such a candid, warm way of communicating. Very refreshing! I was fascinated that you had a Christian fundamentalist phase, because I had one. I was completed devoted to that perspective. I didn't have an NDE, but was praying intensely to be guided through a huge dilemma. I was exposed to spiritual ideas that were new to me at the time, basically that there are many paths to Spirit, that we keep coming back to embodiment to learn to love in many varied relationships. I had profound difficulty with this concept because it wasn't what I learned in church, which was we only have one life, and my mother and father who weren't Christian are going to hell. Well, after 3 days of intense soul-searching and prayer, Light exploded in my brain and I was immediately resolved. Love and acceptance won out over fear and anxiety. I love that sharing of NDE's is becoming widespread. Direct experiences of the divine are deeply nourishing. Thanks again, so much, for sharing your experiences!

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

That's probably one of the best NDEs I've ever heard because he is so descriptive. Thank you Raymond.

Great interviewer and Raymond a beautiful soul.

I LOVE Raymond's testimony of Heaven!

Thank you Raymond. Your authenticity is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Thanking you Raymond for reminding us we are all human BEINGS. The fullest expression of our life is love. Thanks for reporting your oneness with your dear dog. Our "pets" are the pure angelic forms with whom we share love beyond words. God is love.

Thanks Raymond ,,that was worth listening too ....fantastic 👍🌞🌴🦋🥳🌴

This answers a lot of questions and puts things in perspective about my experiences in life ,😊

Thank you Raymond from all my heart!

I love you Raymond...you nailed it on the head brother...I've watched your video several times..it helps me deal with the way life is on this planet...life is hard being a soal creature stuck in a human mass

I believe you're experience and it gave me peace on earth..

Thank you for sharing your story. Raymond you seem very sincere and believable. Comforting. God bless you

Thank you for sharing your story.I really enjoyed it. Bless you.

What a great guy. Love man

I believe you Raymond, I can't say how my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciative I am to hear and listen to your amazingly awesome journey of your after death experience. I could tell the genuineness of how you walked us through your experience, it simply sounds like something I'd love to experience after here. It's the most beautiful and moving story I've ever heard that I'd just so want to be part of one day. We are called to Love 💗 God is Love 💗🙏 God bless you Raymond for being a witness to us of God's great and awesome incredible love to all of us and the whole universe.

Just watched both interviews. Really enjoyed. So honest and authentic. Having had many mystical experiences myself I completely related to many of his responses to his experiences. I really appreciated his acceptance of our humanness and the emotions that encompasses and how he processed and integrated his experience into life. Excellent. Thank you for doing this interview and sharing it. I especially loved where he spoke of the release he felt when he just let go. I literally could feel that, like a free fall yet no fear and complete embrace of the love we sprang from. When he spoke of grief I thought of the quote below which I love. Tears are like holy water to me. The full embrace of our God self within this flesh suit. “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.” ~Washington Irving

The first NDE I heard about was Dannion Brinkley's in 1995. Since then I've found the work of Tom Campbell. He makes sense of NDE's, among all other similar phenomena.

Thanks Raymond! What you shared applies to me and helps me do the best thing I know about: be loving, be kind, laugh and enjoy. Everything else falls into place if I do those things. :-)

Thank you for sharing Raymond - a very good interviewer too.

magnifico!

Completely authentic. Love it great testimony!

Incredible story and way of expressing it. Thank you so much!

This interviewer has the best voice and best skill as an interviewer I have ever heard. Better than any of the large platform guys because he is humble and kind. He doesn't interrupt and lets the person tell their story. Second place goes to Mark Laita. Anyhow. Great interview. I love this one. God bless you.

Thank u so much gentleman ;) the answers to such relevant questions are fascinating and life changing . God bless u

💚🙏 thank you for sharing.

Loved the way you explain your NDE. Thank you for sharing. Love you brother. God Bless you.

Thank you❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼
