hi my name is John Davis and I have the opportunity to share my near-death experience story my experience happened in 1987 when I was 21 I was writing a moped or a scooter that we had my dad had won a sales contest and we were given these different mopeds so I was writing one day and I had an accident and I crashed into a tree and I tore the tendons off my right hand and I had to go in for surgery to have them reattached well I had never had surgery before I didn't know what
to expect I didn't know what it was like so the day of the surgery comes I go in I'm in the operating room and they start to put me under with an IV and I had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia and it stopped my heart and I was pronounced dead for seven minutes so everything I want to share with you happened in a seven minute time period but on the other side there is no such thing as time so to me it felt like I was gone for an hour but in reality they showed
me on this this journey they took me all happened in a relatively short period of time so I closed my eyes when I died and it seemed like the very next second I was standing in the most beautiful building I had ever seen and try to imagine it was this huge long Corridor building and my very first thought was I had no idea the hospital was this large because I didn't know I died I didn't know anything that was happening I just went with this whole scenario all the way till the end and didn't really
know that I had died so this building it was made of marble and if you can imagine to the right there were these beautiful white marble columns it was rectangular huge as far as you could see with his white marble columns maybe 30 feet high maybe 10 to 15 feet apart on the left hand side of the columns were these tables beautiful white marble tables and they had benches on all four sides of the table and off to the left were these the only way I can describe them is they look like doorways like tunnels
but they were black and it looked like they had been perfectly chiseled and cut out of this white marble so what it looked like was you had these columns and you had the tables and then you had these tunnels if they went all the way down so every table had a corresponding tunnel and something I want to mention is and I didn't know this at the time but all of us have Spirit guides who are with us when we enter our lifetime in fact Spirit guides help us plan our lives well I had a spirit
guide he said I'm your spirit guide my name is Alan and all the way through this whole journey that he was taking me on he was telling me what I was seeing so that's where I'm getting this information from he told me everything I was seeing he told me to go look in the tunnel the first tunnel that was right to my immediate left and I looked in and it was like looking at space and I could see stars and galaxies and planets it was absolutely just beautiful and he told me to look at the
next tunnel so I looked at the next tunnel and the second I looked at it there was a man who was an elderly gentleman who was coming through the tunnel and he had his right hand covering his chest like he was in pain and my guy told me that he died from a heart attack and I want to give you the backstory of this a little bit where I was you know how we typically hear about a common near-death experience usually is when the person is in a hospital like I was or there were some
accident scene and they were they see themselves above their body and then they become aware of a tunnel and at the end of the tunnel is a white light well we never really hear much about what happens after that white light because people don't come back from there it's the only people that come back from a near-death experience who haven't gone into the light yet well my experience I didn't have any of that minor death experience began on the other side of that white light well the building that I was in my guy told me
is called the orientation Center and when a person Walks Into the Light they end up in the orientation Center and they are met by what are called orientation counselors in every table that I saw there were two people sitting at each table again all the way down and they're called orientation counselors and their job is to help Orient people back to the other side or the afterlife or home whatever you want to call it that's where people end up when they cross into that light so this gentleman was coming through he was an elderly man
and maybe 80s or 90s and he had died from a heart attack well the very minute that he stepped through the tunnel one of these counselors stood up it was a woman and she walked over she took his hands in hers and she walked him back to the table and they sat down well the whole time I could see her talking to him but I was too far away I couldn't hear what she was saying but she was holding his hands the whole time and what they do the reason that they are there is because
when people come into a lifetime you might live 80 90 100 years on Earth and you forget where you're from most of us forgets we have amnesia when we come into a lifetime and when we die we forget where we're from so what the orientation counselors do is they just simply tell people you know you're back on the other side you've finished your lifetime and now you're back home well my guide said watch him so I started watching him and all of a sudden he began to change he turned into a man and in his
30s and the reason is there is no age on the other side the perfect age for people is around 30. so all of us are in their 30s so after that part happened he stood up and he walked off to his right and he walked between the columns and he walked down three stairs and on the right hand side are these Gardens beautiful kind of like an English garden everything was manicured and beautiful flowers and trees and the grass it was the greenest grass I've ever seen absolutely beautiful gardens and what happens is this is
where people who come back from a lifetime have reunions and these reunions are with people who have crossed before them parents grandparents friends siblings children people that they have known in their life and all the people they know on the other side are there to greet them and the reason is because having a Lifetime on Earth and finishing a life is a really big deal it's a huge accomplishment to everyone on the other side that you actually finish to life and now you're back home and something I want I forgot to mention is during this
whole process my guide showed me the outside of these buildings first and then he took me to the inside so everything that I that I take you that I share with you is the outside of the building first and then he took me inside so this building was called the orientation Center have the orientation have the reunion the next place he took me to was what is called The Life review and every time we finish a lifetime we have a Life review and he took me to a building that was rectangular and it had again
the white marble columns all around the perimeter he took me in and it looked like a theater like a typical movie theater we have here on Earth but it was round the building inside was round like a round room and on the top were movie screens all around in a circle all around me so everywhere I looked I could see these movie screens and all of a sudden the movie screens lit up and they were playing different episodes of my life that I could see from one screen was me of a baby another screen was
me as an infant one was an adolescent one was in elementary school and it showed my entire life all the way up to the age that I was then which was 21. and my guide explained to me at that point that everyone has life reviews and they can see their lives just like they happened back then at that age and I'll I'll mention that a little bit later how that works so that was called The Life review the next place he took me to again was the outside and it looked like a beautiful white Greek
marble building again it was rectangular with columns and this building again was a round room inside but instead of having all the screens in a circle at the top it just had one screen in the front and he started showing me past lifetimes and the reason he showed me this is they wanted me to tell people that the whole idea of past lifetimes it's real and for me I was raised Catholic you know we went to church sometimes two or three times a week and also on Sundays and as you know the idea of past
lifetimes isn't part of Christian or Catholicism and it's not in the Bible it's it was very foreign to me and at the time I had a really hard time believing it but it's true and you can go into this building and you can see past lifetimes one lifetime he showed me was of a monk I was a monk and I lived in a monastery I had a shaved head I was wearing a red gown and my job was to teach the kids about living in a monastery the other life and a second life he showed
me was I had a wheelbarrow and the wheelbarrow was shoes and I was a shoe Peddler in that Lifetime and my job was to fix people's shoes so that was that life and the third life he showed me of a fisherman I had a wooden boat and I had a net and my job was to throw the net and the leg and catch fish for the village so he showed me three different lifetimes the next building he took me to looked like a stadium like a stadium that we have now to go see football games
or soccer or rugby beautiful huge stadium and inside there were thousands of seats and I was the only person there in this room and what it looked like was a planetarium it's a building where you can sit down and look up at the ceiling and they can show you stars in galaxies and there was a man who was behind me I didn't turn around to see him or who he was but I could hear his voice and he said let's begin so I sat down and all the lights went off and he said to me
when you look at the stars meaning people on Earth all of us here on Earth when we look at the Stars this is what you see and all of a sudden our solar system began to show up on the ceiling and it showed you know Earth it showed Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune all of our planets and then he said when we look at the stars meaning everybody who's on the other side this is what we see and all of a sudden he started showing me dozens of different planets all showing up on the ceiling than
hundreds then thousands and millions of planets and he said there was far more life in the universe than you possibly know and what they wanted me to share with people was that Earth is not the only planet that you can have a Lifetime on there are virtually unlimited number of planets in the universe that we can have lights on in all of those planets have different life different life forms just like we have here on Earth but there are millions of them so that was probably one of my most favorite places he took me because
I I love astronomy I love the fact that Earth is not the only place that we can go the next place he took me to this was the largest building that I saw so far and it was a long rectangle building and this one was different it didn't have columns on the sides it only had marble columns in the front and this one had maybe 30 or 50 steps that you'd have to walk up to get to the top of the building where you can walk in so we go in and it turns out it's
a library it's a beautiful huge library with gigantic bookcases just full of books as far as you could see and on the left hand side were rooms just like we have libraries on Earth and we have study rooms that's kind of what these rooms were like they were about the size of an ordinary master bedroom and there was a woman who was sitting on like a couch and she had her back to me in one of these rooms she had long jet black hair down to her waist and she was wearing kind of like a
purplish maroon kind of a gown and she was watching what we would call today as a flat screen TV mounted on the wall it was a video screen it was it was maybe 50 inches you know like like we have now at Best Buy and she was watching a battle that took place on Earth 200 years ago between the Native Americans Plains tribes and the U.S Cavalry and she was watching this battle and I remember thinking how can she be watching a battle that took place a couple hundred years ago when we didn't even have
video recorders back then and my guy told me everything is recorded and I don't understand even now I don't understand how that's possible so I just think of it as a God thing somehow God is able to record our lifetimes so in these rooms anything you want to learn about whether it was World War II anything that you want to learn about you can go to these rooms and you can study and learn about what happened during that period of Earth's history the next place he took me to was a castle he took me to
the castle and he told me to walk in so I walked in and it was beautiful ornate just like you'd see castles today and it had a a red carpet that went all the way inside the whole castle and off to the left and off to the right on the castle walls they had life-size paintings of people and who these people were were royalty kings queens princesses people that lived in that castle during that time period so again if you wanted to learn something about that particular area or era of Earth's history you could go
to this Castle and you could look and see what the people looked like perfect pictures or perfect paintings of what they looked like as well as the kind of clothing they wore back then and in front of each picture there was a Podium and on the podium was a book and it was opened up and all of these books were writings about this person's lifetime anything you wanted to learn about that person's life you could go to these books and you could read about that person's lifetime whether it was King George or Queen Elizabeth whoever
you wanted to read about you could come and study or right about then I looked off to my right in this castle and you know how castles have those circular stairways that go to the next level that's what this Castle had and there was a woman that was walking down and she had strawberry blonde hair about shoulder length and she was wearing kind of an orange reddish kind of a gown or a Togo or you know whatever you wanted to call it well she walked up to me and this is the first time that I
saw someone that could see me she actually walked up to me during this experience and here's something that today I still kick myself for because here I am on the other side I could have asked this girl anything but she walked up to me and she said is there anything I can help you find you know what I said to her I said I didn't know what to say so I said oh no thanks I'm just looking I thought I could have asked her anything well remember when I said that people have different jobs on
the other side people really do but they don't have jobs like we have jobs here where you have to have a job to pay your bills your mortgage your rent utilities you know all that it's totally different there and people do what they love to do and this girl was a I guess the closest thing I could call her would be like a scholar she was a scholar of Earth's history during that particular time on Earth medieval Europe so anything you wanted to learn about you could go ask her and the thing that's really interesting
about the other side is that somehow I think God had must have hardwired all of us to want to continue to grow and to learn because that's why we come into life in the first place is because we want to learn and experience and you can still learn on the other side but you don't learn through experience and one of the reasons we come to Earth is to have that actual experience so on the other side there's an emphasis on learning that's why they have so many different libraries and and what's so wonderful about the
other side is that you can pursue what you love to do so if you'd like to hike if you like swimming if you like writing if you like music anything you like to do here you can still do there that was something I just I found so incredibly fascinating was that you can pursue anything you want to do so it really is like like heaven or a paradise so the very last thing that happened was my guy he took me to a field of just beautiful flowers and he left the next thing that happened was
a man showed up in front of me and I know this sounds crazy but it was Jesus he showed up in front of me and I could I could see his hands I could see he was wearing a white gown with a it was like a white robe with a gold sash around the middle and he had kind of gold looking sandals that went up to his calves and I couldn't see his face because there was so much light coming from his face that I couldn't see his features and he talked to me and he
said you must tell them there is no death and the very second he said that I was immediately back in my body in the operating room and everyone was looking down at me and they had to use the pedals on me six times to bring me back and that was the last thing that happened during my near-death experience so all these years later I had been trying to tell people what Jesus told me you must tell them there is no death and ever since then I try to share my story with whoever will listen to
bring people hope and I think that's what my story does probably more than anything is it it brings people hope in knowing that people you've lost in your lifetime friends relatives children everyone is is actually on the other side and that's where we go when we die and leave Earth so that was that was my experience in a nutshell [Music]
