In this episode, we talk to retired fire captain and near-death experiencer Bill Letson. Bill is the most-watched NDEr on YouTube, with nearly 20 million views across popular channels such as Coming Home, Shaman Oaks, and The Other Side NDE, and had a profound NDE following a duty-related exposure, during which he saw himself flying through a sea of euphoria filled with colorful, welcoming stars and orbs, and found himself in a kind of facility, where he encountered joyful Beings who told him he had to return to his life for some “important” things. Bill’s story is rooted in the idea that a near-death experience is an invitation for transformation and in this episode, he shares his remarkable journey and some of the incredible insights he has gained from it, so be sure to watch until the end!

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.
