#115 Three Near Death Experiences; One Abundant Life with Robert Kopecky

Robert Kopecky escaped a traumatic childhood growing up on the edge of San Diego, California, and went on to travel extensively, living a variety of lives as a ski bum, a factory welder, a monumental sculpture fabricator, an underground cartoonist; and finally, as an award-winning Manhattan illustrator, art director, and animation designer for clients like the New York Times, Cartoon Network, and PBS Kids (he’s recently re-designed Sesame Street for traditional animation).

His global journeys—from the remote South Pacific and the Mayan underworld to the media centers of Manhattan, were punctuated by three very different, dramatic "Near- Death Experiences" that eventually led him to years of study, meditation, and service, and the transpersonal realization of a Life beyond that inspired him to write about the spiritual lessons he’d learned the hard way.

When the spiritual essays he posted on his design blog became more popular than the designs, he was “called” to write his first book, How to Survive Life (and Death), 2014 Conari Press, which sent him into the world of “Near-Death” experience as a speaker, teacher, and contributing writer featured on Gaia.com, The Mindful Word, Inner self, BeliefNet, and more. His latest book: How to Get to Heaven (Without Really Dying), Wisdom From a Near Death Survivor, released in 2018 by Llewellyn Books, is a comprehensive guide to experiencing “heaven” in this life.

Robert has been a featured speaker for the 2016, 2018, and 2021 International Association for Near-Death Studies “Explore the Extraordinary” conferences, the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment, the Wisdom of the Near-Death Experience Symposium, the 2018 Afterlife Awareness Conference; and spoken for numerous IANDS Chapters around the country. He has appeared on PBS/WTTW Chicago, and guested on more than seventy radio and television interviews. His multiple Near-Death experiences give him a unique perspective on the phenomena of “the afterlife,” as well as on the life we currently live.

He regularly posts on his popular spiritual blog at RobertKopecky.blogspot.com, and links to his appearances can be found on his site: www.RobertKopecky.com. He and his wife, Sue Pike "The Animal Talker," make their home in Palm Springs, California. He’s presently at work on his third book, The Zen of Near Death.

In today’s beautiful episode with Robert, he shares with us the talk he have at the most recent IAND’s conference. Robert shares with us some of the great challenges he has faced in his life and the spiritual lessons he has learned along the way that has led him to living a full, abundant life.

Live your life so that you never need a medium, so that there are never words left unsaid.
— Michael Mayo

NOTES

  • Michael shares his experiences in dealing with the changes brought into our lives with the current pandemic situation: Fewer distraction forces one to face oneself as an individual, as well as deal with the concept of our mortality. How can we grow and what can we take with us?

  • He describes his very personal experience with grief over the death of a loved one, and how he learned that there is a difference between the human brain and the medium brain when it comes to dealing with loss.

  • He talks about his experience working as a medium with those who have lost loved ones; people mainly want reassurance that their loved one is okay.

  • Marla describes the exquisite gift that mediums provided in helping her deal with her own personal loss.

  • The only things we take with us as we pass to the spirit world are our memories and the love we have for others; our relationships are by far the most important thing.

  • Michael discusses the various consistencies between all near death experiences, and that many return wanting to right wrongs.

  • He shares the lessons he has learned (and is still learning) from the current pandemic crisis: be patient, find tools that help you to be present (such as yoga or meditation), and embrace the concept of impermanence.

  • Michael’s words of wisdom:

    • Be patient.

    • Be compassionate towards yourself.

    • Find rituals or activities that work for you on a daily basis.

    • Don’t avoid the discomfort; look for the gift of spiritual growth that is being presented.

    • Cherish your relationships and the ones you love.

    • Help others in any way that you can.

    • Look for the light, move towards the light and towards hope, be a light for others.

The Universe is a symphony. We add our own melody and uniqueness that wasn’t there before.
— Eileen Davies
When we know we are eternal beings, it takes us through the door of transformation.
— Eileen Davies

NOTES

  • Eileen sees the current pandemic crisis as a call for all of us to take a hard look at our lives and make necessary changes to live more authentically and in connection with others, with more focus on love and kindness, and less on material concerns.

  • Her hope is that we can learn to live and think in a loving, life-enhancing way, both individually and collectively.

  • She describes the beauty she is finding in the silence of nature, which is getting a breathing space as it begins to realign and restore itself.

  • Choices we make going forward MUST consider future generations. Indigenous and Tibetan cultures are cited as examples.

  • Eileen provides a beautiful description of Metta Meditation, the art and practice of loving kindness, free of judgement. The concepts behind this practice are so important today.

  • Eileen describes a life-changing medium session in which she discovered how forces in the spirit world align in order to communicate what needs to be said to loved ones.

  • She describes changes in the ways we now view religion and how we can all learn from other religions and beliefs by using reason, reverence and respect.

  • Older generations need to teach younger generations by example, so it is crucial to lives authentically and act in ways that are thoughtful and ethical.

  • Eileen describes with great eloquence the concept that as eternal beings, we are all just guests here passing by. When people pass into the spirit world the essence of who they are remains; only the shell of the body is gone.

  • Her great hope is that our current crisis is providing an opportunity for a new collective vision to be reborn.

  • To close, Eileen shared a beautiful poem that she recieved from the spirit world around the time of the lockdown. Click HERE to read it, and click HERE to watch it as a video.
