'Lessons I Learned from Being Dead' A Near Death Experience Mini Documentary

About 30 years ago Jamie Budge was driving down a local boulevard when he went under sudden cardiac death.

I was in a car accident where I hit my head and ended up comatose in September 2005. I had lost my thalamus and amygdala. I was put on life-support with barely any hope of waking up. I wake up 15 days later and was diagnosed a quadriplegic. I started walking in a month. While comatose I had a vision of love that lasted 11 months. I took medication for a year and then decided to give them up. I recovered naturally. I had the determination to.

Totally how God works....I have been sick. Being abused as a 4 year old and being threatened that if I told I’d get sick and die did a lot of “damage” to me which has lead to me being sick a lot...today I asked God during meditation to send someone to give me words to help me find my way out of my health struggle. He gave me this video! ♥️🙏 thank you, God and thank you sir for this video!!

I have watched A LOT of NDE videos, and this is one of the best I have seen. Beautifully filmed, with an encouraging message, which I have returned to many times. Far from being "a fool on a hill", your words of wisdom keep coming back to my mind: the answer to life is to BE POSITIVE!! 👍💟 I keep hearing those words over and over when I am facing discouragement these days. Thank you for this wonderful video and message. I am working on staying positive, appreciating the little blessings along the way, learning in this "classroom" of life, and trying to be a blessing to others. I am here for a reason, but I am also looking ahead to eternity with God, and that is where my heart is. Heaven is our eternal home, but until then, many blessings to you!! 💟

I have a strange feeling that I will be reverting to this video many times in my life

[GapedProlapse]

Holy crap, I just clicked on this off of a Reddti post, and I think it just changed my life.

These kind of experiences really show us that there is always more than we can imagine from life. He crashed into a truck that was owned by a person that performs CPR, really ? What are the odds ? God or whatever we may call it had a gift to give to Jamie, and he shared it with us now. Thanks for this!

Indeed, I can attest to his being dead as well as his journey back.  Thank you for getting this video out there and there will be more to come.  You are a blessing.

If there's an Oscar ceremony for video vignettes like this I'd be surprised if this didn't win hands down. Thank you. Absolutely stupendous.

I’ve recently been having some health concerns and watching these videos gives me a sense of peace and understanding. love and compassion are very important while we’re incarnated on this Earth

[munhassan]

Beautiful said thank you, we do need to be positive.

That "place" is usually called the "astral plane", which is where we usually go when we sleep, but we usually don't remember it. As you work on it, you will remember small parts and more and more, until you reach a level where you do and go where you want at will. Although there are also different subplanes (lower, middle and higher) related to consciousness. I hope it is useful :)

I wish the loud piano music didn’t drown out what that man is saying...!

[pearlvongpusanachai]

“An important training ground for eternal life”... what an accurate description of this place we’re in!

[dukeman]

The music is overwhelming, cannot hear the man speak it takes away from what he has to say..

"No, officer. I was dead, not drunk." :p

This is one of the better videos that I have seen regarding death. So I'll say this here for anyone who may cares. I am dying. Four years ago I was diagnosed with three morbidities that any one of them will eventually end my life. At the time I was told that I would need hospice care within six months. Well except for one doctor that told me that the other doctors were idiots and that I was not going to die that soon. I guess she bought me some time but there is no denying that I'm terminal, I just don't know if it's going to be sooner or a little later. Now we are going through a time when there is a pandemic virus that is especially dangerous for me. With one wrong move I could be exposed to a killer of sick old people. I have never experienced near death other than a couple of close calls with potentially deadly accidents. I have been under general anesthesia a couple of times, but I just went to sleep and woke up with the pain from surgery, no NDE. With my naturally logical mind I am driven to find out all I can about what it may be like after death. Many of these NDE organizations seem to be geared to other "experiencers" discussing their common experiences rather than trying to get whatever message they say they were instructed to get out to those of us who are thirsty for knowledge and/or comfort when facing the inevitable. I truly believe in the universal creator and keeper (if those are the right words for GOD). I believe that the soul is sperate yet joined with the brain/body while I live. I have to wonder if it is that primal brain and instinct for survival that persistently drives/causes me to be terrified of dying. If I am just "going home" to join with my ancestors and loved ones, including dogs and cats, I would like to feel that way. My predicament seems to have me kinda messed up and I guess I'm just looking for more answers that I so far haven't found in these videos. I bet I'm not the only one that feels this way about impending death.

(music is a bit too loud).. but really enjoyed the story

[fotofigures]

What a lovely inspiring story with superb cinematography makes this very watchable. His model glider makes it all the more emotional, I don't know why, but it does.

[Squidbillies]

Thank you for your uplifting story. Thank you to God for allowing you to share your story
