Can an NDE actually last for 2 years? How about other spiritual experiences?

In this moving episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes Rebecca Kastl, a speech-language pathologist from Colorado, who shares her extraordinary two-year-long spiritually transformative experience (STE). Unlike typical near-death experiences (NDEs), Rebecca’s journey began not with physical death but with deep emotional trauma and an earnest desire for complete healing.

Her story begins with a traumatic event at age 13, which set her on a lifelong path toward spiritual wholeness. At 26, while journaling during graduate school, she spontaneously dedicated her life to God — an act that opened a profound, two-year encounter with divine light, angelic beings, psychic dreams, and a heightened sense of interconnectedness. This led to her NDE/STE experience of transformation.

Throughout the episode, Rebecca reflects on:

  • The night a radiant light appeared in her room, filling her with love and peace while revealing hidden parts of herself.
  • How she began to perceive ethereal light in everyone she met, symbolizing the divine essence in all beings.
  • Her experiences with angels and spontaneous life review moments, where she felt how her words and actions affected others.
  • The challenge of integrating these experiences and the deep depression that followed once the light faded.

Now, years later, Rebecca shares how this journey reshaped her worldview — inspiring her to work with children, act with compassion, and recognize the sacred light within all people.

In closing, Rebecca offers listeners a heartfelt message of hope: even amid suffering, every prayer is heard, and everyone is deeply loved and guided by a higher light.
