In the quiet recesses of our consciousness, there lies a bridge between the seen and the unseen, a passage that few have crossed and returned to speak of. On today’s episode, we welcome John J. Davis, whose near-death experience opened a window into the mysteries of the afterlife, offering us a glimpse of the profound and the eternal.
John J. Davis recounts a life steeped in the traditions of Catholicism, with a childhood filled with rituals and a deep-seated fear of God. “I had a hard time understanding Catholicism because the big thing that I had a hard time with was the fear of God that they put in you,” he recalls. His spiritual journey took a dramatic turn at the age of 21 when a moped accident led to a life-changing near-death experience.
During a routine surgery, John had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia, causing his heart to stop. “The very second that I died, I opened my eyes again, and I was standing in the most beautiful building I had ever seen,” he describes. This was no ordinary building; it was a vast corridor adorned with pristine white marble columns and tables, a scene reminiscent of the Temple of Artemis in Turkey. It was here that John’s guide, a spirit named Alan, introduced him to the orientation center for souls transitioning to the afterlife.
In this sacred space, John witnessed the arrival of a newly departed soul, an elderly man who had died of a heart attack. The orientation counselors, two beings seated at each marble table, helped the man remember his true spiritual home. “Their job is to help orientate people back to the other side,” John explains. As the man transformed from an elderly figure to one in his prime, John understood that this place was designed to ease souls back into their eternal state, free from the physical constraints of earthly existence.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
- The Continuity of Existence: John’s experience underscores the reality that death is not an end but a transition. “You must tell them there is no death,” Jesus conveyed to him, emphasizing the eternal nature of our souls and the seamless continuation of life beyond the physical realm.
- The Role of Spirit Guides: John’s guide, Alan, ‘s presence highlights the supportive role that spirit guides play in our journeys. They provide guidance and clarity, helping us navigate the transition from the physical to the spiritual plane.
- The Illusion of Time: In the afterlife, the concept of time as we know it ceases to exist. John learned that “on the other side, there’s no such thing as time,” a revelation that brings comfort in knowing that reunions with loved ones are instantaneous and eternal.
As John’s journey continued, he was led to the most beautiful gardens, a place of breathtaking beauty and tranquility. It was here that he encountered a radiant being, clothed in a white robe with a golden sash, whom he instinctively knew to be Jesus. “You must tell them there is no death,” Jesus told him, imparting a message of hope and reassurance that transcends religious boundaries.
Upon his return to the physical world, John was met with the astonished faces of the medical team. He had been gone for seven minutes, yet his experience felt like an eternity. This temporal disparity only reinforced the timeless nature of the spiritual realm he had visited. John emerged from this experience with a renewed purpose: to share his story and the profound truths he had discovered.
In conclusion, John’s near-death experience powerfully reminds us of the eternal nature of our souls, the guiding presence of spirit guides, and the illusion of time. His journey invites us to view death not with fear but with the understanding that it is a passage to a realm of infinite love and light.

Tell me what your life was like, before you died.
John J. Davis 0:08
I was raised a Catholic and saving I was so yeah, I was in my dad. Uh, he loved to go to church, and we would go to church, sometimes two or three days a week. And then on Sundays also, so I was inundated with Catholicism. And before I had my NDE I had never had any experiences of any kind other than Catholicism. I was 21 at the time, and I was considering whether or not going to college going to school and I, the last thing on my mind, was spirituality. I was I had a hard time understanding Catholicism because the big thing that I had a hard time with was the fear of God that they put in you. You were supposed to fear God. And I never really I never really got that. So after I had my near death experience, my entire life changed that way in terms of spirituality and my views of religion. Like I have a hard time considering myself to be a Christian, but I love Jesus. And I read the New Testament all the time. But I have a really hard time with the Christian dogma. My dad had won a sales contest, and he won two mopeds. And it's kind of like like scooters or mopeds. They call them scooters now, but we used to ride those on the weekends. So one day I was out riding, and I had an accident, and I slammed into a tree. And the way I landed, I tore the tendons off my right hand. And it had had to go on to have surgery. While I was 21, I had never been in surgery before. But I didn't know what to expect. I probably been in a hospital, just a handful, the times not very often. So I had no idea what was going to happen. So they give me the IV, and they start to pump in the anesthesia. And I had some kind of an allergic reaction. And it stopped my heart. And I died. The very second that I died, I opened my eyes again. And I was standing in the most beautiful building I had ever seen. And my very first thought was, oh my god, I had no idea the hospital was big. Because this the building that I was in, it was a long, long corridor building is in it couldn't see the end of it, it was so long. And there were columns on the right hand side, marble, beautiful white marble columns, maybe 30 feet high, all the way down as far as you could see. And they were about five or 10 feet apart. In the middle of this corridor, like building with these marble tables, just regular marble rectangle are kind of square tables. And there were marble benches on every single table. And these tables went this far again, as far as you could see. And the most amazing part was what was to my left to the left of this building. bucket. And we're were like a marble, marble, all made of white, beautiful pristine marble. There were these tunnels that looked like they were cut out of solid marble. And in a court they were they corresponded to each table. So there was a marble column, then a table, then these tunnels, again, they went as far down as you could see, each tunnel was maybe five feet apart, and it was seven or eight feet high. And it looks like it would been carved out of the out of the marble solid 90 degree angles like you have in the doorway. Well, I need to tell you something else that happened here, this will look this will kind of help you explain how this process works. We're at that point, right then I heard a voice in my left ear. And it said, my name is Alan. I'm your spirit guide. Well, I had no idea what what that meant. So I I just went through this whole process. And what happened because my spirit guide took me to every place that I'm going to I'm going to describe for your audience. And he took me to the outside first of every building. And then he took me to the inside. And I like to tell people so they can have a kind of a visualization. This building that I was in, looks like a temple in Turkey, the country Turkey. And it's called the Temple of Artemis, everything I I'm going to tell you guys, it's from what my guide was telling me. He told me everything I was seeing and what it was for. Well, this building that I was in, he told me this is the orientation center And what's what's kind of different about my experience. Have you ever, you've probably heard a lot of typical near death experiences where the person says that they had an accident or they were in the hospital, and they found themselves floating above their bodies, then they become aware of a tunnel. And at the end of the tunnel is a white light. Well, my experience I, for some reason, I skipped all of that. And they took me to the other side of that white light on what's on the other side of the white light, as soon as somebody walks into it, they're on there in this orientation center. And they come through these, these tunnels that were on my left, the tunnels connect people with earth, to the other side. So when their lifetime is finished on Earth, they cross through these tunnels and the end up on the other side. So somehow, these tunnels are connected to Earth. And I don't know how it all works. But that's how people get to the other side. So he might die told me to look to my left at the, at the next tunnel. So look to my left, and there was a gentleman coming through, he was probably in his 80s, or 90s. And he had just finished his life, he had his right hand holding his chest, like he was in pain. And my guide said he died from a heart attack. So he's coming through the tunnel. And at these tables that I've mentioned, there are two people sitting at each table on the other side, and my guide said they are orientation counselors. So their job is to help orientate people back to the other side. And the reason they have them, is oftentimes when people come into life, somehow, but when we come into a lifetime, our memory gets washed about the other side where we're from, because we're not from earth. Earth is just a place of learning and growth in developing your soul. But our real home is on the other side, or some people like to call it heaven, some people call up the afterlife. And so these orientation counselors help people remember where they're really from. So the woman there was a woman at a table, I was looking, she stood up, she walked over to this man, and she took her hands and hit hits. And she led him back to the table and they sat down. The entire time she was talking to him, she was holding his hands. And my guide said, Watch him. So as I was watching him, his appearance began to change from a man who was in his 80s or 90s, to a man who was in his 30s. And nobody told me, why the age why of 30s. But for whatever reason, we're in our 30s. And I don't know if it has to do with that was the age that Jesus died, I you know, I have no idea. But we're in our 30s. So that's what happens during the orientation. They just talked them about where they're from, you finished your lifetime. Here you are back on the other side. Now, when he was done with that, he stood up, and he walked to the right. And he stepped down three steps. Everybody steps everybody is to have called was between these orientation areas. So he stepped down and walked into what I call the gardens, because it was the most beautiful gardens you could ever imagine energy, if you can imagine the most gorgeous, beautiful wildflower fields you've ever seen. Golden hills, flowers, I mean, just beautiful. So he took me there. And then he left, my guide left. And I was just standing there by myself. And all of a sudden, a man showed up in front of me. And I could see his hair. He had brown hair. I could see his hands, I could see that he was wearing a white robe, or a white tunic with a golden sash around the waist. And he had gold colored sandals on there laced up his calves. And he was different than everybody else. Because I couldn't see his face. There was so much light or energy coming from him that I couldn't make out is what it looked like. And my mind said to me or somebody said to me, this is Jesus. And he spoke to me. And he said,
Jesus 9:41
"You must tell them there is no death."
John J. Davis 9:44
And right after he said that, I woke up back in the hospital. And I asked and everybody was looking down at me, you know, they look at you and here's what would happen to this guy. I said to the surgeon, I said what just happened? So I was trying to see if he could explain to me where I was what was what, what just happened to me. And that's when I found out that I died. He said we'd lost you. We lost you for seven minutes. And I couldn't believe it was only seven minutes. Because it seemed like it was an hour or more that I had this experience. And one thing I want to tell people that more than anything, I want people to know that there's tremendous hope that because you lost somebody, you lost a friend, or, God forbid, you lose a child or you lose a spouse, they're not really gone. They're just in another place that we can't get to get. But that in the end, when your lifetime is finished, you go back. And the strangest thing is that when you get back and you're with your loved ones again, it's like no time had passed, because on the other side, there's no such thing as time, like we have here. I didn't have the opportunity to have a whole life review. They just wanted to show me that people do have life reviews. So they're, they're real. But each one of these place he took me to it. It just seemed like it happened so quickly. That there wasn't enough time they just wanted to show me you have to tell people what this is. Tell them that this happens. Tell them that this is real tell them that, you know because because this experience, it wasn't for me. It was for me to share it.
