Atheist Dies & Finds There Is Life After Death (Near-Death Experience)

Nancy Rynes shares the story of her Near-Death Experience, occurring during surgery after a car ran her over while she was riding her bicycle. During her encounter on the Other Side, Nancy describes experiencing a spiritual realm where she encountered a guide who showed her the interconnectedness of all things, which helped her develop a new awareness of the impact her actions have on others. After returning to her body, Nancy struggled to integrate her NDE into her life but ultimately chose a path of spiritual awakening through practices such as meditation and gratitude. She now helps others navigate their own spiritual journeys, recognizing the core purpose of learning to live from a place of love and compassion. Her story emphasizes the transformative power of NDEs and the pursuit of spiritual understanding amidst life's challenges.

“I was learning to live from that soul level of awareness rather than just my human level of awareness” - Nancy Rynes

Where we explore the meaning and purpose of Near-Death Experiences in the modern age. We write about the intersection of spirituality, life-after death, comparative religion, philosophy, depth psychology, modern culture, and most of all how we can stay connected to the truth that Life doesn't end when we die.

We lost our 20-year-old son a little over 2 years ago. All I ever think about is seeing him again. Thank you, for this.

I have Stage 4 Pancreas and Lung Cancer, so your story really helped me deal with what is to come. I'm grateful that you found the Truth and had the courage to Share it.

I died for 26minutes on July 9 2013 and it was the most beautiful bliss full experience. I can not put it into words how powerful this experience affected me. I have no fear of death any more ❤❤❤

I just lost my mom unexpectedly on Monday, July 8 2024. She was 68, and I am 34. I have never felt such untouchable grief and pain, sometimes I think I can’t go on a single day without her. Videos like these give me hope that she is happy and that I’ll see her again.

i often find myself visitng these NDE videos when experiencing the lows of life. the stories in these videos remind me that pain is part of the game. and that this, life, is just that. a game. a temporary experience. nothing lasts forever, including pain. the pain i'm experiencing while typing this comment will pass in time. as will all things.

i'm just going to keep on keeping on, until the very end. when i return home.

for now, just accept the fact that you're here, and take this thing called life day by day. one day at a time.

everythings okay.

At this current moment I am dealing with my 44 year old sister on hospice. I came out to my truck to pray and meditate - trying to find some peace. Her pain is unbearable and she is unfortunately in agonizing pain. They are trying to get her meds right to make her comfortable. This is a terrible feeling and I wish I could do something to help her. I’m sorry for rambling in this message. She is a believer and I know she is going to be with her Lord and Savior. Wish I could do more. Condolences to all that are dealing with illness or dealing with the passing of a loved one. ❤

I feel you, Nancy. I was involved in a head on collision in 2008 that changed my life. I was raised going to church and I believed in God but had some "doubting Thomas" issues. That all changed when I woke up in ICU to a cacophony of sounds. I couldn't move any part of my body. That freaked me out so I kept trying to sit up. After a Herculean effort, the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, I managed to sit up. The sound that accompanied that effort was like Velcro being pulled apart. I looked around and realized I was in a hospital. This was very confusing because I could see my body had no obvious injuries and I felt fine. The noise was coming from a group of machines to my left. I was about to get out of the bed when the double doors slammed open and a nurse entered shouting over her shoulder "we're losing him". This was even more confusing as I was sitting right in front of her. She ran past me like she couldn't see me. I was about to turn around to see what she was doing when two more nurses entered. They all acted like they couldn't see me. I started to turn around to see what they were doing and it suddenly ended. Had I turned around I would have seen my body laying there. The next time I woke up I asked about the incident and was informed that I was never conscious in the ICU. I could describe the room and the nurses but they kept insisting I was never conscious in ICU. I knew better. That glimpse was enough to convince me I needed to get right with God. My recovery was miraculous. They kept telling me I was going to be in the hospital for a month and my physical therapy would take 6 months to a year. I was out of the hospital in 13 days, out of the wheel chair in 2 wks and back at work in 4 months. God is great.

She has a voice that I could listen to all day. Thank you for telling your story.

When my father was on hospice, he told me he could see the next world. He was happy.

I lost my daughter to cancer many years ago . We were very close. She was my best friend and I still miss her everyday. Thank you❤ now I know I will see her again.

My mom passed away in 2019 of cancer. She was in hospice for 3 weeks before she died. A few days before her passing, I received a call from the hospital that my mom had managed to get out of her hospital bed and make it to the bathroom despite the fact she only weighed 85 pounds and was in horrible physical conditon. When I asked her about it, she told me she had she got out of the bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for her trip.

About 6 months ago I was at my computer, reading bible verses and thinking about my mom, wondering if she was at peace. As I was thinking about her, an intense feeling of joy and happiness flooded my body/mind. It was a feeling of love/joy/happiness I have never experienced before. For about 15 seconds I felt unfiltered joy and love so intense; no thoughts of my daily anxieties or worries....just pure love and joy. It was so real and powerful that I was sittiing at my computer chair, saying aloud how incredible this is and ended with tears streaming down my face. I believe it was a sign from God that my mom is at peace.

Thank your for sharing your experience...it was beautifully articulated.

My mother passed away 2 yrs ago. A few days before she became unconscious, she stared at the white hospital wall and smiled. She said her parents and siblings were that a died before her were there welcoming her. Her smile was priceless. Thank you Mom, thank you for that moment and teaching me not to fear death.

Back in the 80s my father who had been suffering from bowel cancer was clearly on the path to death. I was told this by my brother who was in attendance of him (also my step mum, half sister and half brother). I was living some 120 miles away and upon receiving a telephone call at work, instantly left (with the approval of my boss), came home for my wife and then drove up to his home. I visited him in bed barely conscious but so pleased to see me. I had to leave him as a cancer nurse called in to attend to him on a regular visit and gave him a bed bath. Downstairs I heard his cries as the most sensitive areas of his body were touched by the nurse (one of the wonderful and caring Macmillan nurses). I stayed with him afterwards throughout the night holding his hand while my brother was doing the same thing on the other side of the bed. Eventually after being with him for some hours, I felt his hand turning cold as his body was going into shock near the end. My wife, step mum, half brother and sister quickly joined us as it became clear that he was starting to slip away, breathing becoming shallow, arms as well as hands becoming cold, face sagging and eyes firmly shut. At the moment it seemed he was about to take a last gasp he suddenly sat straight up in bed (clearly not feeling any pain) opened his eyes wide and from the other side of the room in an an arc round to my side of the bed, his eyes lit up at what he was seeing - he did not ‘see’ anyone in the room but was looking at something beyond us - he seemed to mouth the word ‘wow’ and then fell straight back onto his pillow, his body just collapsing and clearly passed on.

My wife just passed away from her Alzheimer’s, December 15, 2023. I pray everyday that when God takes me from this life, that she will be standing there with arms wide open. I can go anytime and I will be fine with it, just to be with her again ❤️ I love you Marilyn, see ya soon 🫶😘

A few days before my 82 year old grandfather passed, he was lying in his hospital bed, rotting away from Dementia. His legs and fingers started tapping and moving back and forth, so my mom asked him several times what he was doing not really expecting any sort of answer. He weakly said Elizabeth and I are dancing. Elizabeth(my grandma) was his wife who had passed away close to 40 years earlier. Tears filled the room as we knew the time was near, but that his wife was waiting for him.

When my father passed in 2020 from heart failure and covid I was so angry I could not be with him. My honor and duty as a son was stolen from me. Now, this was in January, but it rarely snows here in the South. The morning after his passing I was awakened around 2am and felt I had been told to look out the bedroom window. I saw the softest, purest, quietest snow falling. It blanketed the neighborhood in shimmering white and the serenity had tears flowing down my face. I felt this man's strong spirit calming me as he would a sorrowing child. He was OK, and happy. Waiting for me.

Her voice is so centered. I could listen to her speak all day.

Mum passed away 4 weeks ago. I was having a teary moment looking at photos of her and then decided to watch some YouTube and this video popped up in my feed of suggestions, amazing timing
