From a listener comment, we have today’s discussion on some of the lesser-discussed aspects found in near-death experience research, including Thomas’ past-life regression experience.

Today we get the awesome opportunity to share the experience of one of our listeners, Jim Bruton, who had a remarkable and unique near-death experience that is quite different than many of the traditional NDEs.
