Near-death experiences have become more of a problem for us, simply because they often confuse so many people. They can feel so extraordinary that some people who have them, not our guest today of course, but some recent experiencers actually think they must have died and then come back to life! And IANDS, the International Association for Near-Death Studies, used to police pretty carefully what people said at their conferences; but not so much anymore. So we are going to have to say here just quickly once again that death is ALWAYS a one-way trip! And NEAR-death experiences are instances of spontaneous, out-of-body travel into the astral plane, usually when for one reason or another, the material body is briefly unable to support life. And when that happens, and we suddenly find ourselves awake and aware in the astral plane, which is an entirely different environment from the earth, although oddly it’s very earthlike and with a love-drenched atmosphere, our spirit guides will often give us weird and amazing experiences that are educational, and are meant for us alone. And then, of course we come back into our body, and we wake up. So, what can we assume but that we died and came back to life?

But in fact, such a round trip to the afterlife is impossible, because the definition of death is the severing of the energy cord from your energy body to your material body that keeps your material body alive when you astral travel. And in fact, many of us astral travel nearly every night while our bodies sleep. That silver cord cannot be re-attached once it breaks. So, if some living person is able to tell you their NDE story, that person never has actually died! And they never have been to where the dead go. All of that being said, near-death experiences can be amazing, and many of them are life-transforming. And our guest today had his first transformative near-death experience when he was only three years old! Jacob Cooper is with us today for the sixth time. His first book was entitled Life After Breath, and it begins with his remarkable near-death experience at the age of only three. His second book, called The Wisdom of Jacob’s Ladder, talks about his many further extraordinary spiritual experiences, and what he has learned from them. We have really loved having Jacob Cooper as our guest on Seek Reality, and we are delighted to have him back today!
