“I had left my body and was in this strange realm of light having a conversation with my wife.”
“I am them and they are me; we are absolutely connected.”
NOTES:
Jeffery describes the horrendous auto accident that took his wife and younger son.
At the scene of the accident, Jeffery experienced a Near Death Experience where he encountered a rush of light, and he spoke with his deceased wife, who told him that he needed to “go back” to care for their other son.
He learned a great deal about choice in the moments of his NDE.
Upon arriving at the hospital Jeffery experienced a cosmic connection to everyone that he saw there… and felt absolute love for each person. He witnessed his battered body in the bed, but did not feel it.
Towards the end of his 5 month stay in the hospital he experienced a powerful dream where he again felt the rush of light and a profound sense of being home. He saw his deceased son in the dream and experienced holding his live body, while at the same time being embraced by a powerful divine presence.
The cosmic download from this dream was absolutely forgiveness and realizing that he could let go of regret and guilt… “There is nothing to forgive; everything in everyone’s life is an absolute divine order”.
Jeffery describes the trepidation he felt upon leaving the hospital and having his 7 year old see him incapacitated and in a wheelchair… and the heartwarming welcome that he received.
Jeffery’s NDE clearly altered the way he looks at the world. He became acutely aware of the many miracles that often go overlooked. “The little things are the big things”.
He has a sense of a new “awakening” in the works, and an embracing of diversity.
He stressed the importance of asking “What am I learning from this?” when faced with pain or other challenges. To illustrate, he quotes a Robert Browning Hamilton poem, Along the Road.
His children have provided powerful lessons, including compassion, love and patience.
And from Griffen, his youngest son who passed on: “Nobody ever dies”.
