Louisa was raised to view God as nothing more than a human concept and spiritualism as a form of superstition. Then, in 1982 at a Manhattan nightclub, she suffered a cardiac arrest brought on by lidocaine poisoning, shot out of her body, and experienced an other-worldly journey to her god source - the Sun.
Returned to her body, she dismissed her experience as a hypoxic hallucination. She'd never heard of a Near-Death Experience, and even if she had, she'd have considered the idea of crossing over to be ludicrous.
But WEIRD THINGS began happening for her, inexplicable events that wouldn't stop! She tried to shut her mind against seeing a ghost, knowing the future, and reading people's sometimes embarrassing thoughts, until she came to understand that leaving her body had damaged whatever filter blocked out spirit energies. As a spirit voice continued to coach her in how to live wisely, Louisa accepted two facts: 1) the spirit realm is real and 2) visiting it had gifted her with new perceptions. As a full-fledged woo-woo, Louisa found community among fellow Near-Death experiencers and became willing to share her story.

Bio
Louisa Peck has taught literature and writing at the University of Washington, Evergreen State College, and several Puget Sound area community colleges. Her short stories have appeared in Calyx, Bellingham Review, and other literary journals, one having won the Katherine Anne Porter Prize for Fiction. An intermediate ballet dancer through her 50s, she now relies on yoga and weight-lifting to stay fit enough for her ambitious wilderness adventures as a mountain climber and thru-hiker.
Shortly after graduating from Vassar College, Louisa ingested a gram of lidocaine sold to her as cocaine in a Manhattan nightclub, triggering a grand mal seizure and cardiac arrest. While her vital signs ceased throughout 3 minutes of unsuccessful CPR, her spirit was jettisoned into the spirit realm and the incredible love of the light.
Only 15% of people revived from death bring back vivid memories from the other side, Louisa did not welcome hers. As an active alcoholic and staunch atheist, Louisa rejected her NDE as nothing more than the hallucinations of a dying brain. She meant to continue cynically drinking her life away, but her NDE had left her with the aftereffect of hearing communications from the spirit realm, specifically a voice she now refers to as her guardian angel. It had to bellow at her the first time she acknowledged it on this side of death. What did it say? "This is the last time I can help you!" and "You DO know right from wrong!" -- enough to start Louisa on the path to sobriety at age 34, although, in the years that followed, it had much more to teach her.
Die-Hard Atheist focuses on her Near-Death Experience and its aftereffects, reflections on the nature of NDE and accounts of her guardian angels communications. (Published 2023)
A Spiritual Evolution focuses on her alcoholism and love addiction, covering her decline to a suicidal mindset and relating how a combination of AA Spirit gradually led her to a joy-filled life. (Published 2012)

Built airplane. Flew airplane. Crashed airplane. Met God. all set.
Jim Bruton knows life. His past is marked by relentless curiosity and remarkable achievement. He was an African wilderness guide, Emmy Award-winning wildlife film director, aviator, adventurer, inventor of the satellite videophone, NBC News Middle East war correspondent, a husband, and a father.
His passion - building and flying WWI-era aircraft - led him where he never imagined he’d go: a horrific crash that left him for dead. For one week, Jim Bruton hovered in the place that is not life and not death, a place he came to know as the In Between. He came back, and this is his report of what he has seen.
Bruton takes us along for a by turns hair-raising and ultimately triumphant story of his coming to grips with what has happened to him. As he heals, his experiences in the In Between become more and more pressing. They download into his mind like rushing movie stills. His life of action turns internal. He uses all he knows - from quantum physics and battlefield memories to scenes of childhood and familial love - for a new deeper understanding of what it means to live.
Jim Bruton, the man who fell from the sky, is not the same man who flew into it. And if you walk some of his journey with him, neither are you.
About the author: Jim Bruton has lived a life many people dream of but few experience. As a little boy, he lived within an active imagination, including a love for wildlife filming, international travel, science fiction, and vintage aviation. In adulthood, he checked every one of those off his list with internationally recognized achievements, an Emmy for a National Geographic wildlife film, traveling to all seven continents, the Titanic, the North Pole, and Mt. Everest, shrinking a satellite TV truck into a backpack, and transmitting live video from places before impossible and building and flying historical reproduction aircraft from World War I and the early 1930s.
For many, any one of these adventures resulted in a single lifetime achievement. For Jim, it was just the beginning, climaxing with the crash of his last aircraft and the near-death experience that followed.
Jim is an Emmy award winning journalist and in this episode we talk about his about his Near Death Experience.
From Jim's website;
Generally, people who have had NDEs aren’t trying to “sell” anything, other than perhaps a seminar, book or DVD. We don’t try to sell a new religion, because we left all that behind. However, spirituality plays a pretty strong role in the experiences we share. One of the strangest things I’ve noticed is that for those of us who had our NDEs as a result of some horrific accident, while in most cases the accident and its crazy circumstances would be the focus of any compelling story, an NDE negates that.
Once an NDE enters the picture, you almost forget about the accident- it becomes the least important part of the story, next to the NDE. My accident was amazing as accidents go, and I have an NDE friend who is only one of a handful in the world that she knows of who suffered and survived an internal decapitation. But to NDE’ers, the circumstances that nearly, or do, kill us are just a footnote. I’m sure that must be surprising, in some way.

THIS PROFOUNDLY INTERESTING story of one woman’s astonishing recovery from two painful and debilitating diseases is an extraordinary testament to the miraculous powers of spiritual healing. At age sixteen, Sheri Perl was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. After two years of medical treatment, she was fighting for her life on the operating table. While recovering from surgery, a second illness contracted through blood transfusions was declared fatal. At this time Sheri contacted British spiritual healer, Harry Edwards, “purely out of desperation,” and to her amazement was the recipient of a healing so great, that it stopped her illness in its tracks, and returned her liver functions to normal.
As a result of this experience, Sheri opened the doors to spiritual exploration, eventually leading her to the home of the extraordinary medium Jane Roberts, who during her lifetime spoke for a fascinating entity, called Seth. It was there that Sheri learned about the power of thought and its influence on our lives. Through Sheri’s story you will learn about the presence of the unseen world of spirit and how it can and does interact with us. In her spiritual healing program Sheri teaches you how to develop your own innate healing abilities from receiving to directing healing energy. No less important, the healing program will show you how to work with the contents of your mind to become your own best ally as opposed to your own worst critic. A must-read for self-healing.

Bio Sheri
Sheri Perl is a spiritual healer and counselor, author, teacher, and interfaith minister. She became involved in spiritualism in a desperate attempt to save her life. At age sixteen, Sheri was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. After years of medical treatment, she was fighting for her life on the operating table. While recovering from surgery, a second illness contracted through blood transfusions was declared fatal. At this time Sheri contacted British spiritual healer, Harry Edwards, “purely out of desperation.” To her amazement, the healing stopped her illness in its tracks, and returned her liver functions to normal. As a result of this experience, Sheri opened the doors to spiritual exploration. She has studied with many great mediums and healers, eventually earning her doctorate in Therapeutic Counseling from the Open International University, Institute for Alternative Medicine.
Her book, “Healing From the Inside Out” chronicles her experience with illness and spiritual healing and shares what she has learned along the way. In 2008, her 22-year-old son Daniel died of an overdose of alcohol and prescription drugs. Needless-to-say, Sheri suffers greatly from this loss; however, what helps her is the knowledge that Daniel is safe in the spirit world and “connecting up” with him through thought, feelings, dreams, signs and reputable mediums. Sheri is currently working on a new book to share her perspective with others who are mourning. She recently created the PRAYER REGISTRY for parents who wish to join with others to send group prayers out to their child on the anniversary day of their passing.

A scientific team comprising a neuroscientist, forensic psychiatrist, attorney, and a science-trained medium embarked on a groundbreaking journey. They interviewed 19 mediums, each with unique abilities, to delve into the urgent questions about humanity’s spiritual development. These questions, formulated by the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS), challenged the spiritual world to assess humanity’s spiritual progress since the time of Allan Kardec (1857). The questions explore whether humans have progressed spiritually in the past 167-plus years, and if not, who is to blame? Has the spirit world failed humanity, or have humans failed, either by themselves, sabotage, or impediments by corrupted spirits and earthbound entities? One underlying concern is whether humanity’s technology has outstripped its spiritual development, placing itself at risk of extinction.
The mediums contacted the highest spiritual entities, including The I AM, St. James, and Allan Kardec, to address these questions.
The scientists took a revolutionary approach to interviewing mediums by encoding the questions as numbers and then presenting the numbers to the mediums as questions. The mediums demonstrated proficiency at Spiritual Sight, an advanced form of the US Military Intelligence Services remote viewing protocol. Additionally, they had to demonstrate the ability to shift the flow of electrons in a transistor with their minds. An attorney observed the interviews and a forensic psychiatrist assessed the mediums.

Even at birth, everyone is unique. Can heredity alone account for the complex differences in people's temperaments and styles? The Michael teachings, an extraordinary body of channeled work, propose that we are each unique souls who deliberately take on a specific combination of traits to give us the experiences we seek. In this fascinating book, Shepherd Hoodwin expertly discusses these teachings from his vantage point as a Michael channel.
"Michael" is a group of souls who teach that we are eternal beings journeying from the Tao and back again in an adventure of exploration and creativity. Each step along the way, we make choices that shape our experience. For example, after committing to a series of lifetimes, we choose one of seven roles, or soul types: server, priest, artisan, sage, warrior, king, or scholar.
These teachings address many age-old questions, such as "How did we become who we are?" "Why are we here?" "Where are we going?" and "How does the universe work?" In addition, Journey of Your Soul sheds light on the channeling process itself, answering questions such as "How does channeling work?" "Why do different channels receive conflicting information?" and "What does it take to become a channel?" Hoodwin shows us that it is possible, and indeed beneficial, to engage all parts of the human consciousness. His unique analytical approach to channeling will help readers gain a firm intellectual understanding of what is involved.
In his foreword, Jon Klimo, PhD, author of Channeling: Investigations on Receiving Information from Paranormal Sources, says, "Shepherd Hoodwin has given us one of the best books to date about the phenomenon of channeling. Journey of Your Soul may well also be the best of the Michael books due to its clarity, thoroughness, and detail, and thanks to the fact that the author, an exceptionally clearheaded Michael channel himself, brings real integrity and authenticity to our understanding of Michael in particular and to the channeling process in general."

My mom asked me to write this book while she was on her deathbed. It is a responsibility that I could not ignore. I think no one could. So, I’m passing this along not only to fulfill that obligation, but also to honor the life she led, the lessons she taught me, and the beautiful end-of-life visions she had during her last few days.
This book is my best attempt at relaying my mom’s end-of-life experiences which she urged me to pass along, in addition to some of my perspective on those visions based on my own interpretations.
It is my story of caring for my mom as she passed away, her powerful and compelling insights as she approached death, and my surprising spiritual journey with her since then.
