Tell me what your life was like before you died.

It was in 1999 that I came down with chronic tendinitis throughout my whole body, and I was a what I considered a born-again Christian back then. So I was religious and believed in God, but after eight years of chronic pain, 2007, that was worsening. I had tendonitis in my jaw, my hands, my feet, and it was making it difficult to work. And I became very depressed. And I thought, maybe God's not real, but more likely He's real. But I'm the disobedient Christian. I'm the son He's embarrassed of. I'm the failure. I'm the one who says I want nothing to do with you. God doesn't just love us, adores us. Now, when I say He, okay, so God contains all that's masculine and feminine. I I began to lose faith, and then in 2007, I clicked on this YouTube video of an atheist who died, and that just it changed everything, and it renewed my faith in God. It renewed my faith in myself. It changed my relationship with my family, even the way I treat nature. You know, before I treated nature like a resource to be exploited-natural resources-and I've come to learn now through my research that we're not separate from nature; we're part of nature. And when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. So it even changes the way I behave in public. If I'm walking in public and I see a piece of trash, before I would say, "This isn't my neighborhood. I don't care. Well, now I'll stop and pick it up. And so it changed every aspect of my life for the positive. It didn't necessarily make life easier. I think life was easier as a Christian, because when you believe in things that are not part of the cultural paradigm, and you know this because of the all this work you're doing. You get the raised eyebrows, and there's this reaction of you're crazy, and because you're crazy, you might be dangerous, and I need to get away from you. So it's tough being one of the older souls who's trying to push this raising of consciousness along, the work that you're doing, but it's it's worth the effort. Nothing you can do about it. You got to deal with the pain. So I can be in pain and just treat it like a nuisance and try and be happy and find joy, or I can focus on it and make it worse and wallow in it. And that's what I did. And I turned to medication. My doctors put me on Vicodin. Now I wasn't popping Vicodins like their M&Ms, like Rush Limbaugh did when he had his back injury. I was taking the prescribed amounts. I I only averaged a couple a day, but I was on that for 20 years, and it eventually led to psychosis. I thought I was losing my mind, and my friend Jack, who had got a severe spinal degeneration, he was on heavier medication, and that happened to him only after five years. And he said, "Dave, it's this medication. You need to get off of it. So I did in 2019 after 20 years of being in the pain, cold turkey. 2019, I was getting the tug from Spirit: sell everything you have, buy a trailer, and go out and live in nature for at least a year. I'm thinking I don't want to do this, and I was thinking I don't want to go along by myself. That's strange, but I was living by myself. I was kind of lonely. I was out of work, and I thought I'm not even dating anybody, so I can't really ask a woman. So I call up my ex-girlfriend, who I broke up with three years ago, lived in Mexico, and I said, Hey, you want to quit your job and live in a trailer with me for a year and see the United States? And she goes, okay. And of course, we fell in love on that trip, and we got married. And she's an angel of a woman. And then I later found out that I was supposed to be a teacher and an author and help this great awakening that's happening now with humanity. And if I wasn't on track, she was my backup plan to come in.

And then, of course I helped her too because she was in a job that was getting more and more stressful as an accountant, and she was being so overworked. They had four accountants and one quit because there was too much work, so they gave the work to the three that remained, and another one quit and they gave the work to. And it's just she was getting physically ill and and vomiting, and so I took her away from all that. I had some savings, so we helped each other. And amazingly, about six months after I stopped the Vicodin, the pain levels went way up at first, and then they normalized. And then, about six months into this, being out in nature, I started feeling a little better. I started using my mobility scooter less and less. I mean, I couldn't be on my feet for more than 10 minutes. I'd have to use my mobility scooter to go to Walmart. I thought one day, well, I'm going to try walking a mile, which would normally cause two weeks of pain, and there was no pain. And then a couple days later, I walked two, and then three, and then five, and then seven. And at seven, it started hurting. I backed off, and basically my body healed. I still have a little pain now and then, but I can work all day in the yard, and I can walk five miles without a problem. I had a miraculous healing. Yeah, it was wonderful. When I got out of California, got I got out of the big city, and I think there was a negative vibration where I was living, and and just being out in the country that changed things. So I really don't understand the whole thing. I'm just grateful every day of my life to. Able to walk and and not deal with pain every day. Just recently, my guides they brought back an old memory. I have spiritual guides that speak to me on a regular basis, and they're really good with teaching me. And they're very matter of fact. They're sort of never judgmental. They're just very matter of fact. But I'm going through this rough time, and they said, "Wait till you see what's coming. I said, "Well, what does that mean? I was 17 years old. It's a long time ago, over 40 years ago. I was in a youth retreat, and this youth pastor was up there talking about this story, and he said, "Okay, this soldier is in this dark area. It's completely dark. He's injured, and he's hungry and cold and tired. Can't see a thing, and he's with a sergeant. And the sergeant orders him, 'Put this backpack on, and the backpack's empty. He says, "Now start walking. He says, "Well, I can't see where I'm going. He goes, "Start walking. We got to get back to base. So they start walking, and every time he trips on a rock, the sergeant orders him to pick it up and put in the backpack. And he goes, "Why am I doing this, sergeant? He goes, "Just keep walking. Do what I tell you. It's for your own good. And he's mad at this sergeant. You know, he's being a jerk. Why do I have to go through this? I mean, we got to walk back. Why am I putting rocks in my backpack to make it heavier? They keep going. Now the backpack's full, and it's just a burden. They finally get back to base. The sun's coming up. He goes into his barracks, throws the backpack down by the side of his bed, and lays down. Wakes up the next morning, and he picks up the backpack to empty out the rocks, and they're gold. They're rocks of gold. And sometimes in life, we don't see the reason for the stuff we're going through until later. If it were not for my chronic pain, I would not have gotten together with this angel of a woman that I'm married to. My life would not have changed. I wouldn't have broken down. Sometimes you got to hit rock bottom to change, just like a drug addict going through the dark night of the soul and hitting rock bottom. The dance of consciousness is always one of two steps forward and one step back, and sometimes you got to take the step back. Consciousness learns through contrast.

Matter of fact, that's what we're doing here on planet Earth. In the perfect environment of heaven, it's hard to change and grow. And near-death experiences have been told that if it were not for souls leaving the comfort and joy of their heavenly homes, disconnecting from feeling the beautiful love coming down into these tough lifetimes, and this is a tough place to be. If you're here on planet Earth, oh, you're an expert soul. Earth is the hardest place to have a life in this galaxy. It's one of three hardest in the universe. If it were not for souls incarnating, the growth and change of heaven could not continue. We're doing the tough work for creation. We are a critical part of the engine of growth of creation because consciousness learns through contrast, and that's why people are honored in heaven when they have these near-death experiences, they're treated like war heroes. Some of them even ask, "Why are you looking at me like that? Because you're brave, and you're doing it because you love your heavenly family. You're helping, literally helping God grow and evolve by doing what you're doing. When we are loving and kind and compassionate people, it makes all of heaven happy. And when we are brutal and selfish and manipulative. They're a little disappointed. They wish we would have chosen the path of love. And that message spoke such truth to my heart. And it was what I needed because, as an engineer, I want evidence. I can't work on blind faith and believe something because some guy in a costume, who we call a priest, tells me to believe it. I needed evidence, and my guides and the spirits who are with me knew that that's what I needed, and so I just looked into one after another, after another, after another, and finally I was like, "Well, I gotta, I gotta tell people about this, just like you're telling people about it. So it's been a wonderful journey. Well, at first, what I was trying to do is match these near-death experiences with my Christian faith, and it eventually became impossible because I would hear things like, "Well, this isn't your first time here. You have many lifetimes, and of course, that should have been obvious because they-it's in the Bible. Jesus said John the Baptist was Elijah, so you know it's in there. But the pattern was always the same. I would hear something, I would learn something new from these experiences, and I would say no, this can't be true, and slowly I would accept it. And just as I was getting comfortable, they'd give me the next thing to to take on. So the first one was like multiple lifetimes. I'm a spiritual counselor, and so now somebody comes up on the screen, and I get flashes about their life. Not always, but I see things, and so now it's just a normal part of my life. My guides who speak to me on a daily basis and psychic things and things like that. And just recently, the the psychic stuff saved my life. I was told to get out of the house where I was because I was in danger. It turned out it was true, so it just became a normal part of my life. But it's it's the same process that's still happening today. I deny it, and then I get evidence, and I finally accept it. A few of these near death experiences are shown, glimpses of the future, and one of the things they said is there's going to be a new kind of politician in the future, and they're going to be gentle and soft-spoken and rule from love and compassion. And they won't even call their opponent an opponent; they'll call him a colleague, and they'll say things like, 'Well, Jim has these ideas, and you know I think they'll work for these reasons, but I have these ideas.'" And they may work better for these reasons. And I'm thinking, oh, that's never going to happen. Well, it will, as the consciousness of humanity continues to rise. They're not going to stand for the power-hungry politician.

So when you're in a struggle to survive, and most of us, many of us, I would say, are in survival consciousness, you're trying to just pay the bills and get through the day without going crazy and without losing your mind, and when you're in survival consciousness, your creativity, your enthusiasm to do what you love to do, to make a beneficial contribution to humanity, to really do something that benefits society-that's set aside. I'm got to focus on surviving, and so when that need and struggle is over, it's amazing the creativity that comes out when we're not fighting each other, when we're not worried about this person's going to steal or rob from me. These lives are extremely challenging sometimes, and sometimes you just feel like giving up. Just never give up hope. Good things are coming. Everything that we do down here on planet Earth has a purpose, and that purpose is always for our highest good. And we don't always see it, but the most important message I can leave: number one, know that you are loved more than your human brain is capable of comprehending.
