This is a fascinating conversation with author and Near-Death Experience expert Jay W. Spillers. Jay is an enthusiast in all things NDE-related, with a passionate curiosity about aliens, anarchism, and what lies beyond this world.
He shares his deeply personal and spiritual journey into the study of near-death experiences—starting at the age of 11—and how that interest evolved over time, especially following the loss of his father. We explore his reflections on Christian universalism, the true nature of hell, and how spiritual awakening can unfold during these profound moments of transition. Jay also speaks about his books and gives us a glimpse into his upcoming meditation course designed to help others connect with higher states of consciousness.
In this episode, I also share a snapshot of my own near-death experience, a life-altering event that took me to the edge of life and back. It was a moment of incredible light, followed by deep physical illness, which opened my eyes to the deeper purpose of the soul and the power of love, contrast, and presence.
