Fire Captain Dies & Sees the Illusion of Life (Near-Death Experience)

Bill Letson shares the story of his Near-Death Experience, occurring after becoming ill while on duty as a Fire Captain in Santa Barbara, California. During his encounter on the Other Side, Bill describes experiencing emotions of acceptance and overwhelming joy after leaving his body and traveling to a Heavenly Realm. Bill talks about how he has lost the fear of death and now embraces the power of Choice to navigate his life here on Earth.

“I think every second, every moment, every now is a new opportunity… how are you going to choose?” - Bill Letson

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.

My best friend passed away recently from a cardiac arrest. He had end stage kidney disease... I've been feeling sad, lonely, and depressed. Watching these videos brings me great comfort, knowing his soul is out there, and that he's no longer suffering. R.I.P. Shedrick!

My father was just murdered and these videos are keeping me together. The faith I have in knowing he’s in a better place is what helps me not have a complete breakdown. Thank you for these.

My dog passed away yesterday and this video comforts me. He mentions pets looking after us from the other side ❤

"Live a good life here on earth, for there are greater things yet to come." Those were the words that God spoke to my mom when she had her NDE from hemorrhaging after giving birth to me.

My wife is a pediatrician and she worked with terminally ill children from 2019 to 2022. The children were talking to kids who had already passed and were on the "other side". The kids were telling their parents not to worry because Johnny or Debbie or whomever who'd already passed were telling them that it's okay, everything's great over here and Jesus is there with lights and gardens etc

My 50 yr old son took his life 7 weeks ago. He was so very broken. He found Jesus not long before he died. I am grateful he's at peace now with another son who also took his life 29 years ago. My cousins aunts uncles my parents and grand parents plus his father my first husband. He's healed now. Praise God. I'm 70 and can't wait to be with them soon ❤

"Like somebody was pouring honey over my brain" - best description ever

I was talking about NDEs to a non believer recently. He laughed and called me insane and told me I need to get back to reality. I believe these people 100 percent!!!! There is definitely more after we pass away. I don’t care if people laugh at us, I’m a believer and these stories have made me a better person.

"Can we wake up in the game and realize who we are with joy and patience." That really hit home.

I met those three men in robes just before I was born. They asked me if I would like to live again and when I answered quickly, they told me 'No, watch first', and they showed me my life I am living now. I no longer suffer from depression after the Lord allowed me to see this vision in my sleep. We choose our lives and no need to despair when things go wrong because they are meant to be this way so we can learn. We all get proof of this when we have a Deja Vue experience. Sorry for my bad writing skills.

I’m so disenchanted with the world right now and will be glad to go home.

I lost both of my grandma's months apart in 2023. Saw a medium in a group reading toward the end of 2023. She looked my way and said "There's two motherly figures around you"... she then smiled and said "They like your new couch"...I just bought a couch days prior...she also laughed and said "They also know that you bought new underwear"...and I was cracking up because I did earlier that week. It's small things like that and videos like this that bring me comfort that we'll all be united one day. And videos like this remind me to be kind every day ❤.

I just love a grounded, good guy- simple no frills explanation of what we are really and what we are dealing with here.Loved it- such a sweet man. Thanks!

I lost my dad in a motorcycle accident last August since then I can't stop thinking about life after death now. Thanks for your story.

My aunt lost her battle with cancer a week ago and I pray this is what she felt when she passed on. I pray I see her again.

Everything he says is the real deal. You remember every vivid detail from the other side and every feeling. Once someone says you have to go back now, that's that and you don't have a choice. Then you miss the place every moment you have to be back here physically. Coming back into my body was possibly the most pain I've ever felt.

I suffered a reaction to a scorpion sting in the jungle as a Marine. I lost Equilibrium within ten minutes and was evaced. Spent seven days on a gurney waiting to die while the medical crews changed shifts and watched. I heard (and watched) two doctors talking over me. One said he saw this before and I wasn't gonna make it. He shined a flashlight into my eyes up close and my eyeballs were so dilated that I was reading the little black stencil on the bulb itself. They thought I was unconscious, It was a conscious coma.

I heard everything and could see straight ahead, sorta. As the days elapsed and my ability to move slowly returned I was finally able to turn to one side only to see the Corpsman tending me hooked up to IV and going through a severe malaria event, bright red, sweating bullets, gasping for air, while holding the IV in his own arm. Another day goes by, I wake up, that same male nurse is leaning over me, all crisp and chipper. I walked away after a seven day conscious coma, expecting to die. I looked back at the small battalion aid station and said "I'll never forget this experience for life.'

I can only say that expecting to die became peaceful. I was not fighting it or afraid. I was at peace. Lucky I believe in Christ or I would likely have been panicking the entire time. I was totally at ease but you wouldn't think so. Life is stranger than fiction.

I pray this is what my son experienced & that he is there now. It’s us who grieve the loss. I will see him again in this afterlife.

This is the most beautiful NDE story I have watched. Resonates with every cell in my body and speaks to my soul. Such a lovely man - Bill Letson. One can sense the kindness and compassion in him when he speaks. And what he said in the end... "earth school to learn life lessons to be groomed to be gods" ....We must ALWAYS choose love over every experience XX
